However, we have not seen The Riddler since Jim Carrey’s portrayal in “Batman Forever,” and what we see out of Paul Dano is a much different character. We have seen more than enough of the Joker, whether through the “Dark Knight” trilogy, The “Arkham” games, “Suicide Squad” or even the stand-alone “Joker” movie. Now with a hero comes and villain, and the choice made to have The Riddler serve as the main villain for the film is one that at first confused me, but also interested me. That was always a critique of mine when it comes to the “Dark Knight” trilogy, I wanted to see Batman, I didn’t care about the runnings of Wayne Industries, I wanted to see the world’s greatest detective being the world’s greatest detective. I continue to applaud Reeves in the decision to limit the time we see Bruce Wayne. This connected with me as a fan because I felt it really did encapsulate the famous idea that Bruce Wayne is the mask that Batman hides under, that Bruce Wayne died in that alley with his parents and Batman was born. He has a perfect combination of confidence alongside extreme unease in being Bruce Wayne. While the majority of actors take a similar approach to the character of the Dark Knight, it seems they take the billionaire differently, and that is no different when it comes to Pattinson. Now with every Batman actor comes two sides of the role, The Bat and the man. My favorite of the minor additions they gave to the new Batman is the eye black that he wears when in the suit just to add to the intimidation factor. He carries his voice well into the role and most importantly, looks the part. His movements are all purposeful, which makes you really understand and connect with his portrayal of Bruce Wayne. One thing I have not seen mentioned nearly enough is the movement patterns that he shows throughout the film while he is in the suit he walks almost like a predator does when stalking their prey. But from the start I had a gut feeling that he was going to succeed in the role despite his previous work, and I can say proudly I feel that Pattinson did an amazing job at understanding the character and the mannerisms that accompany Batman.
Robert Pattinson, known for his work in “Twilight,” was announced as the next to don the cowl in mid-2019 according to Variety, and to say the reaction to the decision was mixed would be an understatement, according to screenrant. It takes pieces from the many different authors of the “Batman” comics and lumps them all together that feels eerily like what Batman is: he’s not funny, he’s not cracking jokes like in the “Dark Knight” trilogy, he’s a man that’s been broken by a city’s corruption and is doing whatever he can to make sure nobody experiences what he did.

The movie sets itself in an era of Batman we have seen and also not seen enough it’s a young, Robin-less Batman, fighting crime and trying to keep Gothman from the brink of tearing itself apart.

The second being The Riddler’s serial killings of major police and political figures among Gotham. The central plot of the movie surrounds two points: The immense corruption of Gotham at its heart, which all divulges from the history of the Waynes. Now even with their deaths not being shown, the movie doesn’t shy away from showing the impact the Waynes had on Gotham. The film takes that step even further by restraining itself from showing the brutal murder of Thomas and Martha Wayne, which is something I have seen multiple times throughout the “Batman” films. Matt Reeves, who serves as director and writer, made a daring and incredibly smart decision by forgoing the backstory that a majority of “Batman” films introduce.
The plot, acting and cinematography are all qualities that make this the quintessential “Batman” film with only minor issues. “The Batman,” which hit theaters on March 4, is the first DC movie I have watched in a long time that I can firmly say the director and the writers all understood who and what the Dark Knight is. Films like “Spiderman: Homecoming” taking some of the most iconic scenes from the comics and putting them right on the big screen is what comes to mind. You could tell that every director for the Marvel films really analyzed and cared about the source material, knowing when to stray away from it, and when to stick right to it. For years there has been one thing separating the Marvel Cinematic Universe from the DC Cinematic Universe, and that was a love for the source material.
