If you’re fed up with Gotham City and everything that surrounds it, you should still take a look at The Batman by Matt Reeves. Because this version of the Dark Avenger actually works a little differently than the many other film adaptations and unfolds a very special fascination for over three hours.
Today for the first time on free TV: What happens in The Batman?
In The Batman, a new serial killer is up to mischief in a whole series Kills the city’s celebrities and always leaves a mystery behind. This not only poses difficulties for the local police, but also for the more or less newly appointed deputy sheriff Batman.
Accordingly, he doesn’t just have to use all his detective skillsto solve the case, but also to deal with his own past and that of his family – but not necessarily in the way we are used to in most other Batman films.
That’s what makes this new Batman film so worth seeing and different from its predecessors
Anyone who thinks that Batman has been told since Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy at the latest has not taken into account Matt Reeves and Robert Pattinson. What is conjured up here on the screen or TV screens can be seen by the dark avenger actually gain something new again.
This Batman is even more broken, an even lonelier hero and even more vulnerable, which makes the character all the more tragic. The complete self-sacrifice for a gloomy city that doesn’t really deserve itcomes into its own here like no other Batman flick.
This works surprisingly well over the running time of three hours Despite the slow, stoic settings, there’s not a moment of boredom arise. If you want more of it, you’re in luck: The Penguin series takes place in the same Gotham and also comes from Matt Reeves, but without Batman at all.
