#TheBatman is a long hard boiled noir rather than smart popcorn action thriller. Opinion may depend on what you want a Batman movie to be. Loved the character psychology, textured world building, supporting performances, & Giacchino’s score. Still digesting other elements. 8.7/10
I need to do a rewatch, but my way too rapid solo Bat flick ranking for now:
1. TDK
2. Batman Begins
3. #TheBatman
4. Batman Returns
5. Batman 89
6. Mask of Phantasm
7. TDKR
8. The Lego Batman
9. Batman Forever
10. Batman & Robin
1. TDK
2. Batman Begins
3. #TheBatman
4. Batman Returns
5. Batman 89
6. Mask of Phantasm
7. TDKR
8. The Lego Batman
9. Batman Forever
10. Batman & Robin
Honestly wild that The Lego Batman, a movie I love, is so low. But speaks to the franchise's overall impressive hit rate.
I think there are times when #TheBatman’s overly self serious nature and deeeeep commitment to noir elements hurt it.
But it does a good job arguing that wealth is corrosive and that the unintended consequences of Batman are worse than the evil he’s fighting.

Bruce and Alfred’s dynamic is a good emotional core with room to grow over a trilogy and the chemistry between Pattinson and Kravitz is palpable 🥵
