THE BATMAN - A Vengeful Review
It's finally time to see The Batman!
THIS REVIEW HAS NO SPOILERS!!!!
It's one of my most anticipated films this year and has been for a while. I was sceptical of the casting and the look of the Bat-mobile but once the trailer hit us, I was highly interested and fascinated. The hype for this film has been high and sometimes when a film gets clips put out a few mins long before the film lands in cinemas, it can go one of either good or bad ways especially when a film gets a lot of hype and fortunately it did not go south at all! I am Scott aka 1stmetalgod and welcome to my blog and welcome to my Batman film review.
The Batman takes place in Bruce Wayne's second year as Batman and people are being killed during the week of Halloween and cryptic clues and messages, or more precisely riddles are being left at the scene of each murder. It's up to The Batman to forge new relationships and call upon old friendships, unmask the culprit and bring justice to the abuse of power and corruption that has long plagued the city of Gotham.
This is a comic book movie like no other! The performances from every actor in this film is fantastic. One unnamed character however is easily from the city itself of Gotham, the tone, the lighting, the visuals and overall atmosphere are phenomenal and what we should have always expected for and from a Batman film and also the score by Michael Giacchino is phenomenal and so catchy but each track also has personality hidden in it, take The Batman's theme for example it starts slow, dark, broody, ominous with a little western edge of tolling bells with fantastic slow building string instruments which lulls into the misery and grief that is inside Batman before transitioning back into the world's greatest detective and caped crusader and Gotham's own symbol of hope and fear, Mr. Vengeance himself, BATMAN.
A beautiful score one which leaves with us cinema goers and follows us home. Flawless cinematography of which makes me think this was inspired by The Joker movie's artsy style. Here is a great Batman film in which it captures the detective side and elements of him perfectly and also THE FEAR and mythological presence of the legendary dark knight. This is quite possibly the best portrayal of the comic Batman we have had. This film takes many elements from comics like The Long Halloween, Telltale's Arkham Games, Batman Hush storyline, Arkham Asylum fight scenes, Batman Year One and even like I mentioned already Joker movie just to name a few. Matt Reeves and all the cast and crew have done a fantastic job here!
Gordon and Penguin were great and I cannot wait to see more of them in this universe and how Colin Farrell does with Penguin going forward and I can say the same for Zoe as Catwoman also who was really good. Rob and Zoe's chemistry was great and believable. The Riddler was scary and unnerving. Pat-man himself Rob was really good and even then by saying really good I don't feel like that does it Justice! The one thing I heard from big critics about this film was the fact that "Batman and Bruce feel the exact same broody boy and it's easy to tell it's the same exact person where as it should be not so distinguishable" and I get that absolutely BUT as Bruce remarks in the movie he's been doing this for 2 years and he has become a nocturnal animal and a shut in as Bruce and he puts all of him into Batman more than Bruce, so in all that time over those 2 years it's easy for him to have lost who is who in the inner conflict shuffle of his personality, the boy is tired, beat up, scarred and emotionally drained. I look forward to seeing more of Andy as Alfred too! As much as I love Alfred in general this was more Gordon & Batman which hey, it's still so great!
This is a great standalone movie with high potential for a new massive Batman franchise and I cannot wait for more!

Joker Review - Ha-Ha-Hawesome!
Does Joaquin Make a good Joker? YES!
Joker is about a man named, Arthur Fleck who has some problems and the film is entirely based on his perspective and I swear down there is not a single scene without him in.
Arthur is trying to get by in life but society doesn't like him, people look down on him and mock him and beat him up when all he needs is care and support. He takes several medicinal products and has a journal to keep him on track but what happens when society gets too much and when medical business's shut down and when truths come out and friends and family aren't really there for Arthur? Well you guessed it, he put's on a happy face because Arthur is then effectively dead and here we have.....JOKER!
Arthur's mood and the tone and lighting is dull, moody, depressing and it gets darker and darker until the Joker arrives. Anytime he is in clown gear is when the films lighting has colour but he and we don't fully embrace the beautiful stunning colours of the world until Arthur is gone and Joker is out into the world.
This film is gonna win awards I'm telling you. All the hype and praise is so spot on and i cannot name anything bad or wrong with this film!
I've seen it twice now in cinemas and i highly recommend watching it!
Fave quotes: "My life is nothing but a comedy."
"Comedy is subjective, Murray. Isn’t that what they say? All of you, the system that knows so much, you decide what’s right or wrong. The same way that you decide what’s funny or not."
"Everybody is awful these days. It’s enough to make anyone crazy."
"Nobody’s civil anymore! Nobody thinks what it’s like to be the other guy."
"All i have are negative thoughts."
"Is it me or is it getting crazier out there?"

Top 10 Batman Villains

Before her puddin' corrupted her, she was a smart girl but following Mister J's madness she has also gone down the rabbit hole and come out loopy however she is very agile and that has always stuck with her. She made her debut in the animated series of Batman in the 90s. She has been on both sides of Batman but mostly due to her puddin she sticks by his side and her puddin being the number one spot on the list....

Smart and immune to virus, toxins and bacteria all while making new plants and plant chemicals and controlling plants Ivy is not one to mess with. She cares about the environment and all plant life so taking her down for batman has been both easy and a challenge and the two have been on the same page a few times over the years but is she really that trustworthy? Who knows what tricks shes up to in new 52 continuity.

The head of a demon is not to be taken lightly, not only did he train Batman and a whole army which he also commands but he is very skilled in combat and weaponry, he's smart and partially immortal and i say partially as he has been killed and brought back and he can live for a long time with usage of the Lazarus pit but he can and has been beat.

Ah Crane how scary can he get oh well if he gets you with his fear toxin the answer will shock you! He is skilled and smart after all he is in the psychology business. He can take you down without landing a punch if he wants to it's all in his fear gas and he has been able to transform into a scarebeast as he called it which ups all his stats and makes him disfigured and horrifying to face and makes his fear toxin more potent. Not one to ever take lightly.

He started his Bat life in the comics and on tv portrayed as a gimmick silly character full of cold jokes and tactics until TAS came along and made him bad ass and one of bat's deadly respected and smart villain. He has been on both side of Batman but most often or not he is on the side of evil. He is not evil for the sake of it what he does is out of the love he has for his wife and to support her and keep her alive if he can. Batman has sympathy for Freeze and respect for him it's why they have often teamed up. Freeze is one of my fave villains just thought he should be in this spot.

Batman's toughest opponent obviously this masked convict is here in the high spot after all he was the one who broke the Bat! Super strong and smart to boot Bane does cause great stress to Batman.

Could there be any one else in the top spot? The clown prince of crime who only had one bad day to send him to lunacy, this is the most iconic villain in comic history. Everyone knows the Joker and a few or all of these villains so i aimed to have kept all these tid bits short to the point.
