Last Film You Saw

Don't want to put words into Bigga's mouth but Batman isn't always sticking up for good when he's punching bad guys too hard in the mouth. What's the batman film where he's branding the bad guys (bats v supes maybe)? Even in this last one he's not really protecting the people of Gotham he's more trying to get vengence for his own trauma. But as he can't put a face on it he just punches all the bad guys in the face.

He definitely has a code of conduct (no guns etc) but the blurring of that line has been explored in some of the movies and although i have not read the graphic novels i know it is explored in those. At the end of this movie we perhaps see The Batman moving towards compassion but if he was motivated by compassion he'd be spending his billions less on bat mobiles and more on employment opportunities for ex-offenders like Timpsons. If the Joker was busy fixing shoes and cutting keys he'd have less time to cut faces.

Just my inexpert take on the character.

For reference it Bigga was a Batman character I think he'd be Flint Marko in a weird Marvel DCU cross over event although he would be accused of being Killmomger

What you say about spending his money on employment is exactly what he does as Bruce Wayne. The simple fact is Batman and Bruce Wayne are the same person with the same goal: saving Gotham.
 
The Batman

Pattinson does ok...he makes a far better Batman than a Bruce Wayne....but then this is a much darker,troubled and confused version of the character,so it might just take some getting used to.

3hrs passes reasonably quickly.

Decent 8/10

Is that actually true? I have difficulty believing that.
Are you discounting films that you first saw in the cinema, and then re-watched on telly? Because that would rule out a lot of films, surely?
And do you never buy the DVD of a film that you really liked?

Even then, there are quite a few films that I've back to the cinema to see — films that knocked me for six — sometimes three or even four times. Maybe I'm just weird like that.
The most extreme example was Badlands, which over a three-year period during the 70s I went I think five times to see (and now own the DVD, of course).
I saw Lawrence of Arabia as a child in the early 60s, then didn't see it again until it was restored and brought out again in, I think, the 90s. Bowled me over as much the second time as the first. Especially in its restored state.

I've seen less than 15 films in my lifetime, more than once, at my choice and those are 75% non mainstream films. The others that stand out are "Mouse Hunt", "No Country for Old Men" and "The Batman".

The latter is the first time I've chosen to go see again, for myself, at the cinema. I'm glad I did so, because it's even better the second time around.

I, often, say I might rewatch a film and I have good intentions to do so, but I don't because the drive to do so doesn't stay with me.

I wouldn't go mad saying @Bigga was the batman expert here. In my opinion Bigga fails to grasp the Batmans greatest quality: his compassion. In his opinion Batman is a crazy person with a death wish...

To me Batman represents the good man who will stand up to crime and bullies..you want a modern example? Look at the Ukrainian athletes who choose to fight for their countries and cities, they could be anywhere else in the world right now with their money but they choose to fight for the territory.

@Bigga is more closer to the Joker. Because he has experienced some bad things in life and it has changed him he feels we must all be the same way, but he fundamentally fails to understand compassion.

Mate, it's you that misinterprets the character as rewritten in modern parlance.

*At this point I deleted what I had written and would rather discuss this in the 'movie discussion thread', so I don't make the mistakes of my last opinion on a film.

So, what I will say is I think if you didn't like Nolan's work (which was flawed) then you'll absolutely hate this piece, so I wouldn't bother seeing it if I were you.

Heey, I was nice to you! Although 'Killmonger' works for me!

Good basic understanding of where 'The Batman' is, but I implore anything further to be discussed in the appropriate thread made for these purposes.
