The Batman

Bruce Wayne has spent two years as Batman in a Gotham rotten to its core. When the Riddler begins killing public figures and leaving cryptic clues at each crime scene, Batman is forced to dig into a conspiracy where organized crime and city politics are deeply intertwined. Matt Reeves shoots the darkest, most neo-noir Batman ever put on screen, with Robert Pattinson delivering the most introverted, tormented version of the character in franchise history. A detective thriller running close to three hours that never drags.

Pattinson reshapes Batman from the ground up, all shadow and obsession. Reeves crafts the sharpest detective thriller the superhero genre has ever produced.
