What is the one thing that Bane or Darkseid or Deathstroke failed and Robert Pattinson succeeded in doing? 'KILL THE BATMAN' Even with the storyline of the film and the super noir theme coming closest to the actual comic books, Pattinson fails to create the Cape Crusader aura big time. The story depicts year two of Batman's crime fighting in Gotham, with the dark knight portrayed more of a detective than a superhero, deep diving into his early years.. still the appearance, physique, voice, too much talking and ponderous dialogues, showing bollywood like emotions and a hell lot of public appearances (in bat costume) defies the whole identity of Batman. Apart from that the movie is a 3 hour marathon, things moving soooooo slow around Batman, (maybe the first superhero movie ever when I yawned), Riddler (who by the way was very good) was scarcely used, Penguin was more of a filler, Catwoman got so much screentime but they didn't venture into her character.. tbh the only character that stood out would be Carmine Falcone.. and that is just sad.. There were some welcome action sequences, but again the Batmobil was a biggggggg disappointment. P.S. After watching this movie it is far inferior than Nolan's rendition of The Dark Knight in creating the Batman aura. I had been reading the reviews about the movie before writing and am still wondering whether we are talking about the same movie or not. Rating: 3/5 just because of the storyline, cinematography, the general theme and the music. To sum it up: Robert Pattinson as the Batman can be the Vengeance.. but.. WHY SO DEPRESSED????
