Due to copyright issues we had to mute a small portion of the video near the beginning-sorry about that!
"Near the beginning"?
I'm PRETTY sure Franz Shubert isn't going to sue anybody for use of Ave Maria, considering he's been dead since 1828. That's more than fifty years ago, this should be firmly within public domain.
Of course - I don't know if that's what you meant, I just thought that would be funny.
“He’s the only one we didn’t get.”
he doesn’t know Bruce Wayne is Batman.
he does know, hes the riddler dude so the way he said that mean he knows but hes playing with Bruce/Batman because exposing Batmans real identity will not be good for his purpose later on
@@lacustina6560 he literally attempts to kill Bruce earlier on and send another letter for Batman at the same time...
@@stonemileryan he knows Bruce wouldnt be there to be killed ! because he knows Bruce is Batman! so the reason why he send out 2 to trick Batman into thinking Riddler doesnt know who he is.
@@lacustina6560 they already said he doesn’t know who Batman is. Batman doesn’t show the same traits or emotions as Bruce Wayne so riddler never suspected him.
I interpreted it as him saying ‘we’ as in the orphanage of Gotham. So Bruce Wayne was the only orphan the orphanage didn’t get.
Paul Dana hit it out of the park as the Riddler. They actually made him a legitimate unique threat to Batman and not just a Joker-wannabe that happens to tell riddles. Also outside of Falcone, I like how the two main rogues: Riddler and Penguin lived through the movie. I liked how the Riddler lured Batman into a mistake (and a very legitimate one if you didn't see it coming) where he inadvertently led Falcone to his death. Hated seeing all these superhero movies where the villain(s) all get killed off at the end, so seeing them survive is a nice change of pace.
Dano

Dano
He's not just a Joker wannabe who tells riddles in the comics or in most other media ... but he is in this movie.
I first saw this in theaters, and I absolutely loved it! I rewatched it on Discord with some friends last night lol Robert Pattinson killed that role, hell, everyone did an awesome job 🔥 Matt Reeves nailed it 💯
Everything about this movie was incredible. The soundtrack slaps, they humanized the fuck out of Batman in a way I’ve been waiting for. The most realistic portrayal ever made. Him showing fear and actual emotion is exactly what I’ve always wanted to see.
Give me ur discord link
@@daniig62 agreed! Very well done! 🔥🔥
Agree
@@daniig62 It's how he's exactly supposed to be.
The Falcone/Thomas Wayne connection goes back to The Long Halloween, a heavy influence on Reeves The Batman story.
At 7:57....The reporter said its the 20th anniversary of the Wayne's murder, the Riddler is most likely in his late 20s, early 30s, which means he would have been probably 8-15 years old when the Wayne's were killed....so I would have to say, "No", I don't think Riddler has anything to do with their deaths 🤣😅
He was a kid during the mayoral campaign so yes
@@withamboy6771 Orphan at Wayne's funded orphanage. Present at Wayne's speech from Orphanage during Mayoral campain. Pictures of him make him seem under 10 years old back then
Like an 8 year old can't pull a trigger. Naive.
@@SchulzEricThow is that naive? you think they would have some random CHILD kill the Wayne’s?
Fun Fact:Robert Pattinson's audition/screentest took place while he was in rehearsals for shooting Tenet (2020) in Los Angeles in May 2019. Pattinson had to lie to Christopher Nolan about it, but Nolan, who was no stranger to Batman and Warner Bros., immediately figured it out. Pattinson: "I said I had a family emergency. And as soon as I said it, he goes: 'You're doing the Batman audition, aren't you?'" When Pattinson was told that he won the role of Batman a day before principal photography for Tenet began, he was surprised that Nolan also knew and congratulated him, although Pattinson hadn't told anybody about it yet.

12:22 - You know, that's actually a really awesome point, and I think it's intentional. Everything about this Batman feels carefully thought out, intentional, pragmatic, and efficient. Which is why he can just kind of take the helmet, cape, gauntlets, and pads... and carry them in his backpack.

I want Mads Mikkelsen as Scarecrow (his Hannibal Lector is soo good.)
We were just thinking how cool it would be to see Scarecrow again!
Too old
@zbroman z cillian
I love Rob pattison as Bruce Wayne. A dark assassin.
he's a lot like Micheal keatons Bruce, they both brood alone and don't really go out much. Keatons just didn't have grunge to encapsulate it lol
Robert and Zoe were awesome as Wayne and Selina but for me the standouts were Paul Dano as The Riddler and Colin Farrell as The Penguin, both of them completely embodied their characters and with the mask/prosthetics both were unrecognisable which allowed them to completely become their respective roles, Matt Reeves’ filmmaking is unparalleled and this movie is the first to match The Dark Knight
Honestly I think this movie is far superior to the Dark Knight. Nolan wen't a out of character with Bruce hanging up the cape between harveys death and Dark Knight rises. Bruce is too obsessed with his mission to ever do that.
Thomas Wayne saving Falcone's life is from The Long Halloween.
The whole movie has lots of plot points from various comics yes indeed
@@revariox189 that's what I loved about it
@@ericberlin456
Me yes and no....
As in all that were supposed to be twists or surprises was very forseeable...
Liked that the characters were true to their comic version. Would have liked to have them expand on the world but that may be for later. I hope for more then copy paste from the comics or a 3 hour fan service with high value production.
Thing is, its the only Batman thats actually well done based on the comics. So to say it sucked would be a big big lie on my behalf. I guess as a die hard fan, I hoped for more but in the end it is more then satisfying for neophytes to the whole Batman thing. And for once a proper introduction (He could be even less friendly and it wouldnt hurt)
Pretty sure the thing about Thomas Wayne saving Falcone’s life was also established in Batman The Long Halloween
I like how The Riddler admired Batman and Eric here wore the same glasses as The Riddler. Nice tribute! 👌
Paul Dano played an unbelievable Riddler. He took influence from Jigsaw + John Doe in Se7en. Nice touch with a social following doing his bidding after his incarceration.
Absolutely! It was cool (and disturbing) to see the traditional Riddler's quirks in a more realistic villain.
- Sarah
DC is single-handedly getting me to watch other movies. Before Joker, I knew it would be inspired by Taxi Driver, so I watched it. I heard how The Batman was similar to Se7en and I checked it out after I had already watch the Batman. I actually enjoyed Se7en and see why it's a classic. I thought I wouldn't like Brad Pitt's character but his character fit the movie. But yeah, Paul Dano's character is obviously inspired by Kevin Spacey's character.
Dat Monologue For Batman
Was The Best Opening scene
Everrrrrrr🔥🔥🔥
Taken straight from Year One
The Batmobile looked like a demon from hell coming out of that fire.
And it was ALL REAL!!!
Couple goals fr lmao. Fire vid
EVERY DAMN TIME WITH THAT PHONE! it gets me every time I think it is ringing in my house....

- CARLITO’S WAY (1993)
In The Comics,there is a connection between Thomas Wayne and Carmine Falcone but it`s far looser than later adaptations imply.Basically the big mob boss in Gotham before Falcone and Maroni was this dude named Lew Moxon and Thomas through his philanthropy forced Moxon into bankrupcy which left a power vacuum in the Gotham underworld which Falcone,Maroni and later Penguin,Joker,Riddler et al would go on to fill. So in retaliation , Moxon hired Joe Chill, a nobody thug, to kill the Waynes and make it look like an everyday robbery in Crime Alley.When Bruce revealed himself to Chill and Chill in guilt confessed to his criminal friends "I created The Batman",they beat him to death in prison and an assassin called The Reaper took Chill`s corpse as a trophy.
4:50
"It sounds like a darth vader music"
Actually, you are spot on, both the imperial march and this music use... What is it called? Tempo? Or was it the same notes? I think is the notes, The Batman score uses 1 extra note.
My man sounded just like the Stu Bangas tag at 3:35 😂😂😭
Loved this film 🔥🔥🔥🔥 love y’all channel
I saw Robert in "The Rover" - I was blown away by his performence. In this movie he also did amazing job. Thats what The Batman needs to be. Dark. Depressed. Angry. Sad.
The only flaw or kind of plot hole of this movie is the fact that Batman punched Gordon, and fled the police station and the next time we see hum with police they just work with him like nothing ever happened. I personally love it, cause it gets annoying having the police fight batman when batman is just trying to help. But also they never established why the cops were trying to kill him in the police station in one scene, and then the next scene when they are capturing Falcone and capturing the Riddler the cops just work with Batman like nothing ever happened lol.
Gordon.
I mean, compared to Batman, Falcone is a pretty big fish that every decent cop of Gotham would want to get rid of. I just figured they had better things to waste resources on. And then the Riddle came and then Batman proved he wasn't a threat, and Gordon was there through it all, asking people to let Batman help. But I can see why it could be confusing.
This is the first time where he’s figuring out stuff by himself
I didn’t like in the Nolan trilogy how Lucius basically did everything for him
I thought this movie was incredible
love your reactions so far keep it up 👍
when you want more robert pattinson i recommend "the lighthouse", and for more paul dano "swiss army man" 😉
We actually saw "Swiss Army Man" awhile back and it was one of the wildest movies we've ever seen and we really enjoyed it! We haven't seen "The Lighthouse" yet, but it's been on our list for awhile now!
It's the Best Batman period. TBH I first watched this movie in theatre and it was an early morning show and i slept halfway so obviously didn't understand shit. After a few days i watched the movie again and I loved it but after watching it for the third time i could see every little detail and all the clues the director gives. This movie is a masterpiece! It's my favourite superhero movie and easily my favourite movie of this year. The production, direction, cinematography, acting everything is top notch and i can guarantee you when you watch it again, you will pickup new stuff everytime.
Can’t be better than dark knight?
@@HotBoii91 100% better.
@@MasonMorris1204 ehhh i dunno … it was really slow lol
@@HotBoii91 nah. The pacing was perfect tbh. Nolans batman wasn't that good at all. The only really good thing about that movie is nolans directing and ledgers joker.
@@MasonMorris1204 to each his own yea i guess.. i loved how deep the plot was in Nolan and how he made 2 face not just a villain, but was a tug of war of good vs evil for batman and joker and in the end joker won. so much more than that but yea. heath ledger def stole the show and is performance of the decade. i’ll try patty batman again but it started off real slow lol
Great reaction guys! This is now definitely my favorite Batman film. Sarah, you're adorable by the way!
Thomas saved Falcone in "Long Halloween" comics too
Eric - you have those Riddler glasses, bro.
"tho.. who ever lives in Gotham"
All people in Sinaloa, Mex: well...
I liked your reaction a lot! Congrats. 👏👏👏🎬
19:30 that part with Falcone is ripped right from the pages of the long halloween comic
I don't know if it's enough to warrant a video but there's a great 5 minute deleted scene with the Joker that you guys should check out
This movie really didn’t need Joker. It’s becoming a trope at this point 😝
@@Dan-B It sets up his existence and the hype for this version of the Joker for the next movie. He's Batman's most prevalent nemesis. He's always been a "trope".
@@Dan-B The Joker will be not the main villain in the sequel
Can’t we have one movie without him? it’s becoming diluted and less special when he’s literally in every franchise.
@@Dan-B I getcha. But he still feels pretty fresh to me. Plenty of ways to portray his character.
Really liked you two’s insights, entertaining commentary but it was clear you paid attention. Really excited to see more of your reactions now. If you liked this director, he does the last two of the new Planet of the Apes trilogy. I bet you’d like all 3.
We're glad you enjoyed the video! We look forward to seeing you around the channel :)
This movie thrives on the old movie rule: if it looks cool, then the logic doesn't really matter.
In the comics, Lucius Fox simply runs Wayne Enterprises
Batman makes all that stuff himself
Eric and Sarah one of the things I really love about this movie is and this is something that a lot of the movies have ignored obviously until now is that Batman isn't really any better then the criminals he fights, the closest thing we've gotten to this in the past is the animated movie Batman Mask of the Phantasm. But if you read stories like Batman Damned, Batman Year One, he really isn't any better then the criminals he fights there's a line of Dialogue in Batman: Hush where Poison Ivy has Superman under her control using planet spores infused with kryptonite. Batman and Catwoman have teamed up to stop him and Batman says to her deep down he's a good person and deep down I'm not because obviously deep down Superman wouldn't kill anybody Batman would
There’s a whole industry reliant upon people refusing to see movies in theaters and watching them for the first time at home in front of a camera.
0:22 That’s still more than many other casual fans could say that they’ve done lmao
I don't even have to make requests because you guys choose great movies to react to. You haven't done a war film though. Most reactors first war film is Private Ryan but I'd suggest Apocalypse Now...
Something I just noticed, which I think is one reason why people feel this is kind of elevated higher than The Dark Knight, or the other two films is - the lighting. I just noticed that in legit I think all of Nolan's films, he uses straight natural lighting. And this film theres A LOT of stylized lighting done either on set or in post. However I don't think the natural lighting in the Dark Knight should take away from it's accomplishments as a cultural phenomena, and with that - I maintain the position that The Dark Knight is still the best Batman film ever made. There is something to be said about Batman, but perhaps every superhero - and that is they are only as good as their villains. Now while I do think Heath absolutely stole the show, I don't think his performance completely overshadowed Batman, I really don't. I think it elevated him. In this however, while the Riddler was definitely creepy and disturbing, and Dano's performance was excellent - I just don't think the riddler character in this was very interesting. Whereas I found The Joker to be exceptionally interesting.
I like how eric admires Catwoman (Selina Kyle) and Sarah admires Batman (Bruce W.)
Its Cobblepot, not Cobberpot.
Until this movie I didn't know there were over 30 different versions of Batman.
You guys finish each other's ________. A few interesting tidbits: Batman and Bruce Wayne both show up at the door of the icebergs lounge and say the same thing: You know who I am? NOIR Duality: emphasis on Batman's boot and Selina Kyle's boots. Batman and Riddler's masks, the Riddler enters through a skyLIGHT, and Batman's first entry is from the DARKNESS, and the two symbols all over Gotham were the ? And the bat symbol.
Batman realized that as a symbol of vengeance he was just leading the city further into darkness, that is why he cut his cord, fell and died, only to be reborn in the light where he became a symbol of hope and people followed him to safety. Just my take on that scene.
Not in the Batman video games, but in the Batman comics primarily.
You fight like a ninja.
Movies that inspired The Batman cinematography and character relationships... The french connection, klute, taxi driver, all the presidents men, chinatown, manhunter, last days, se7en, zodiac, good time, the godfather, the conversation...... Comics that influenced are Batman: the long halloween, Batman: shaman, Batman: zero year, Batman: year one, Batman: year two, Batman: ego and other tales, Batman: dark victory, Batman: no mans land
Very good reaction, you should also react to the deleted Joker scene of this movie. It's really good and it takes place after the second victim that Batman and Gordon see in the morgue.
By far my favorite Batman film. And it's not even close lol. Saw it 5 times in the theater and countless times at home. Robert Pattinson is easily my favorite Batman as well. Every single aspect of this Batman is exactly what I've always wanted to see. Can't wait for the sequel!! 🦇🦇🦇🦇
I LOVED this reaction
Glad you enjoyed it!
I wish you could put in the subtitles what you're saying when the sound is off
24:15 ... superhero landing ...
Great reaction, you need to watch the 5 minute deleted Batman and Joker scene!
He has the suit on under those clothes an the rest in the bag he keeps w him that’s how he change so quick
you guys gotta see that deleted scene
There's a deleted scene with the joker, would love to see your reaction to it!
i love that ending in the water with the red flare... fantastic.
I'm lost for words whenever Colin Farrell appears as Oz / Penguin. There's nothing of the original actor in the performance. He's completely subsumed by the role.
If I can make requests for movies to watch well for sure I would recommend these
I saw the Devil
Ghost Dog
13 Assassins
Natural Born Killers
this movie is a masterpiece
7:23 28:38 46:23 47:32 It's cool just learning about camera lens and now I'm noticing which type of camera popular movies are being filmed on. They are using an anamorphic lens here as indicated by the oval glare. I'm noticing changes in depth of field now too.
Can someone else with film knowledge tell me what else I should be able to notice that give away the camera being used?
Gotta watch that deleted Batman / Joker scene ;)
Have you guys seen the movie UPGRADE as yet.??? Very awesome movie
nice to see they remade SE7EN
21:04 hi kitty cat! 👋🏼🐈
Can You react to The last duel?
Great movie!! R u guys gonna put the full length reaction on patreon?
Yes! We plan to have it posted by tomorrow at the latest :)
Can you react to The Batman joker deleted scene, that the director has released, its about 5 mins long! its really creepy, The Batman Joker deleted scene!
Can either of you explain how or why a corrupt commissioner would even care that batman was there when he was a crook?
Watch the joker deleted scene
I have just subscribed. You both are beautiful. 👍🏾👍🏾😊
Can't wait to finish this! Love you guys!!
Thank you :)
hell yes! finally!
That last third really fell apart, imo...
Based on the BtS stuff the director said, a second guy came in to "help him rewrite it". I'm guessing studio-mandated large-scale action scenes and easter eggs. The general quality drops, in how much the earlier parts made sense, so much.
Well, except for the single other large-scale set-piece, which is the batmobile chase, which endangered the lives of a whole lot of people, AND didn't even hand the Penguin over to the police, so it was totally unnecessary and could easily be cut out of the movie.
It's interesting how both the last third and the chase seem to be noticeably way lazier in detail.
This has major Se7en vibe
got to see the featurette for the car chase and it just blew my mind to see just how much of it was done practically. they even had stunt guys operating the back areas of trailer so that they could drift them.
It's this movie's insistence upon using practical elements to ground everything else that makes it look visually solid. And I am a sucker for good contrast. So this movie was a visual feast for me. Esp. after being tired of the general blockbuster flat images and shoddy CGI implementation.
Sorry just subscribed watch the deleted Joker scene from the Batman movie
Thanks for the support!
Tanking all those bulllets like that... BatPat DEF has that "Batman: Arkham City" Ballistic Armor Lv. 4 upgrade :P
Do you please raction.The batman deleted scene joker
There is a prequel book for this movie that mentioned that he and Alfred were the one responsible for making all the tech (also he owns wayne enterprises so it'll be easy to acquire parts that he can use from his company's r&d department) but mostly its Bruce since he traveled the world learning the best there is like in chemistry, advance gadgetry, and combat etc so basically this is a smarter batman than most of his live-action counterpart but he is still on his year 2 so he's still figuring it out and most of the techs that he used seemed to be a prototype that will improve soon just like that wingsuit he had he may tailor that into a cape that he can use to glide when jumping off rooftops kinda like Nolan's memory cloth cape, also there is a deleted scene of joker and batman from this movie you should check that out
Also Alfred was like a British spy agent type so he might have very well also taught him to fight and stuff.
@@kevinmatthew1050 yeah Alfred was part of the MI6 I believe so on Bruce's early age he tought him how to fight something like from Earth One Comic storyline of Batman but still I hope this Bruce traveled the world learning all forms of martial arts and weaponry so that he can utilize it further down is career being Batman
@@intrvrtkev It was alluded that he did in the prequel book. He also has a lot of PhDs.
This wasn't a smarter batman. Batman has always been a genius rivaled only by mister terrfic and lex luthor
@@silentgrind34 was talking about live action though, the closest to detective we got before this movie was Keaton when he was solving the Joker toxin patterns, all the other batmen are more brute than brains as far as the movie goes there were subtle hints during thr dark knight where Baleman analized a bullet but thats it not that I dont love batman who kicks ass kinda like BvS warehouse scene but most of these batmen seems to be more of a brawler.
13.45
Please react to Watchmen!
37:57 i suspected eric was the riddler, but i can now see his glasses are slightly different.
and he isn't paul dano.
then again, colin farrell plays the penguin so.....
Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe.😁
After playing TLoU2, I just couldn't help but hear Isaac (WLF leader) in some of Jeffrey Wright's line deliveries lol. he made for a GREAT Gordon
Agreed!
The Witcher 3 shits on last of us.
i know its just a movie but that chase scene...batman shouldn't have chased him...the destruction and people on the rd
19:30 it is also in "Batman: The Long Halloween" animated movie. Which, I have to imagine, means that it was also in the comic book.
There is a problem. BRUCE WAYNE
HE FIGHTS LIKE BRUCE LEE..
43:59 syncronized "NICE" 😁
nice 👍🏼
20:20 nice edit. subtle. 🙂👍🏼
Paul Dano is a phenomenal actor. idk just how much of his filmography y'all are aware of. but def give Prisoners (2013), There Will Be Blood (2007), Little Miss Sunshine (2006) (ALL THREE would make for a great reaction, btw. Especially the first one). he also wrote and directed the movie Wildlife (2018) starring Carey Mulligan and Jake Gyllenhaal. It's a pretty good movie. Def check it out on your own time if y'all are looking for a slow-burn drama. It's not too long either.
And check out The Lighthouse with Robert Pattinson & Willem Dafoe. FANTASTIC movie. Great reaction potential.
The first time I saw him in film was Little Miss Sunshine! Neither of us have seen Prisoners, There Will Be Blood, nor The Lighthouse, so we'll definitely add them to the list. Thanks for the recommendations!
@@EricSarahReact thank you for taking these recommendations :3
Prisoners is like one of my fav movies of all time. Directed by Denis Villeneuve (Blade Runner 2049, Dune, Arrival)
Blade Runner 2049 has been on my personal list as well! Not sure if we'll react to it, but regardless I vow to watch it eventually lol
Dano was also amazing in Love and Mercy playing a young Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys. And Pattinson is amazing in the movie Good Time.
14:48 eric called it 👍🏼 +1 ✅
