Is Robert Pattinson the worst Batman?! - Batman Spoiler Review
Show Notes

 Episode: Show Notes.

The new Batman film directed by Matt Reeves and starring Robert Pattinson and Zoë Kravitz has received a lot of attention and acclaim from critics and audiences since its release. An even more gloomy and hopeless noir about the world of Gotham City and the Dark Knight, it can be argued that The Batman does not even feel like a superhero film. Continuing the trajectory of the Christopher Nolan films and more recently Joker, the increased realism can definitely be seen as a drawcard for the film. In today's episode, we do an in-depth review of the film, critiquing all the notable features including the cast, styling, atmosphere, and the relationships between the characters. We also get into some fun territory about the 'Batman voice', the Batsuit, and Batman's rage! Please be warned, this episode does include some plot spoilers, so proceed with caution.
