The BATMAN
Posted: Fri Mar 04, 2022 7:43 pm
...when I was in 2nd grade I discovered comic books.
Bob Kane's Batman to be precise and I have been a comic book geek ever since.
He's always been my very favorite comic hero, because he has no "super powers". He's a billionaire with a brain and a trained body.
I'd been looking forward to this new Batman film since I first heard about it.
Went today to see the Noon feature opening at AMC @ Penn Square and was thoroughly entertained.
Wasn't the typical comic book movie, more of a crime-noir type of flick. Very dark and very long, 3 hours & 10 minutes.
Robert Pattinson did an outstanding job portraying the tormented and somewhat twisted psyche of Bruce Wayne. (Wayne ain't right!)
Zoe Kravitz was excellent as Catwoman! (What a figure, whew!)
Andy Serkis was great as Alfred Pennyworth.
Colin Farell was all but unrecognizable as the Penguin. Incredible prosthetic makeup. I could recognize him by his eyes only.
My very favorite Batman movie (And I've seen them all, from the 1940's serials to this one today) had been The Dark Knight!
"The BATMAN" is now my favorite. More of a detective movie than anything else.
I'd be interested to hear anybody's take on this film, if you see it. Imagine some will agree with me & others might not like it at all.
A cultural icon, the Batman mythology is endlessly fascinating and this new take, I predict, will result in at least a trilogy of movies.
Worth the price of admission. Check it out!
