Review: Just when you’ve had it with Gotham City, caped crusaders and the whole murked-up franchise, along comes a good Batman movie — easily the best since “The Dark Knight.”
Just when you’ve had it with Gotham City, caped crusaders and the whole murked-up franchise, along comes a good Batman movie — easily the best since “The Dark Knight” 14 years and an entire film industry ago.
But across several highly variable directors now, the pointy-eared DC Comics gold mine has pushed and stretched and drilled down into the rough stuff for its two-faced, psychologically riven protagonists and antagonists. It got pretty awful for the audience, too, for a while, with the Zack Snyder Batman movies.
All that atmosphere needs real actors, otherwise it’s just pretty/ugly pictures on a screen. “The Batman” features a solemnly effective new Bruce Wayne/Batman courtesy of Robert Pattinson. He has a superb counterpoint/frenemy/soul mate in Zoë Kravitz’s Selina Kyle/Catwoman. In this outing, Selina works as a nightclub hostess in a mob hangout frequented by John Turturro’s Falcone, who is outfitted by sunglasses handed down, apparently, from Sam Giancana.
Set around Halloween, “The Batman” introduces Pattinson in full “Taxi Driver” voice-over mode, muttering about how “two years of nights have turned me into a nocturnal animal.” A serial killer known as The Riddler stalks Gotham and targets an array of hypocritical authority figures, be they police or criminals or freelance dark knights.
