Whether this is the 'best' Batman movie is hard to determine. However, it is without a doubt my favorite. Robert Pattinson defies expectations and offers a fantastic performance as both Bruce Wayne and Batman. I would extend my praise to Matt Reeves and everyone involved in the cinematography of this film. Visually, The Batman is superb. Gotham is gritty and disgusting, dark and drenched; which is exactly how it's supposed to be. The use of color and lighting in this film is deserving of acclaim, but so is costume and set design. I have watched the film three times now, and cannot wait for more! I can only hope that Matt Reeves chooses to explore new villains such as Mr. Freeze.
