The Batman (2022)
5/10
I Miss Christian Bale & Christopher Nolan

Warning: Spoilers
This was absolutely flat and boring, and not only that, massive holes in the story.

Few issues: 1. Batman never even attempted to dodge getting shot a few times, and decided it was easier to take a 12-gauge to the chest.

2. The Mayor got shot and a few minutes later she was swimming through the water without an issue.

3. Someone's neck got blown up and Batman was 2 feet away and didn't have blood, scratches, or dirt on his chin despite getting thrown away 20 feet from the blast.

4. All of the costumes looked like... costumes. Nothing felt real.

5. Bruce Wayne was an emo, not an angry billionaire with high intellect. Pattinson, sadly, did not fit the roll.

6. All of the action scenes felt like I was watching the new Matrix all over again, slow and boring.

7. There was no climax.

8. The only person who asked Batman for help (cat woman) was denied because "actions have consequences." OK, then don't help anyone, Batman.

9. Let's not forget that he had no one making his equipment. Where was his tech guy making the fancy suit? Everything looked like he stitched it together himself poorly, and remember when he activated his Michelin Man suit to jump off of the building? He nearly died on the road. What was that? It was actually hilarious how garbage that looked.

10. Oh, and even though we have a car let's ride a motorcycle in the rain to hide our emo tears.

11. Let's also walk tortoise speed for no reason at all.

All in all, the movie was a large amount of fragmented pieces that never got put together because you couldn't put them together in a coherent way. This whole series needs to be cancelled and started again with a new cast, writers, and directors. What a shameful way to come back from Nolan's epic trilogy and incredible actors who fit the roll in all senses, like Christian Bale who was an excellent and convincing Batman and the billionaire Bruce Wayne.
