REVIEW: Batman returns as a new actor steps up to do justice in the crime city Gotham. Robert Pattinson stars as the new Batman and we have a black Catwoman – Zoe Kravitz. The film is very different from Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight Series as the latest film focuses on the issues in Gotham rather than the issues of Bruce Wayne. The villain here is the Riddler and hence Batman becomes a detective.
The film is slow and Batman’s entry is ordinary. There is no adrenaline rush, no heavy BGM. Most stunts are ordinary and most fights are simple and do not employ gadgets or superpowers. He likes to keep things simple. It reminds us of Daniel Craig as 007 without fancy gadgets. Batman even rides a simple bike. But his car is slightly fancy. The good thing about this film is the case of Riddler. He is no match for the Joker but surely does justice as a villain. Other villains also get a share in the script and create an impact. Bruce’s multimillionaire image is missing.
It’s a reboot so we can expect a series of new villains and their tales. Pattinson needs to improve much more than just a muscular back.
Do not wait for the end credits scenes. There isn’t one.
Enjoy on big & dark screens!
