Critics Consensus

A grim, gritty, and gripping super-noir, The Batman ranks among the Dark Knight's bleakest -- and most thrillingly ambitious -- live-action outings.

Audience Says

It's long, but The Batman looks and sounds great, and its grounded take on Gotham is a solid fit for this Caped Crusader.

The Batman | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Christina Newland iNews.co.uk The film creates an alluring combination of the familiar and the fresh. Rated: 4/5 Sep 19, 2024 Full Review The Batman | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Candice Frederick Huffington Post “The Batman” reaches for an ingenious and compelling new way to tell a story about the thin lines between corruption, greed and nobility — but ever so limply and always just out of its grasp. Dec 6, 2022 Full Review The Batman | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Keith Uhlich (All (Parentheses)) The film I imagine Ricky Fitts would grow up to make after the events of 'American Beauty.' Mar 24, 2022 Full Review The Batman | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Denise Pieniazek Puesta en Escena (AR) "The Batman" has a somber tone different from previous versions that, due to its enunciation, bring it closer to the style of the Film-Noir film genre, returning to the original style of the comic strip and its proximity to pulp literature. Rated: 7/10 Aug 18, 2024 Full Review The Batman | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Brittany Patrice Witherspoon Pop Culture Reviews When it’s all said and done, The Batman is good—not great. From technical and narrative standpoints, there are both gaps and achievements. Rated: 3/5 Jul 22, 2024 Full Review The Batman | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Connor Lightbody Live & Breathe Media (Substack) For a film set deep in the depths of Gotham’s gritty underbelly, the script slowly descends into the chaotic silliness of the characters that it feels so desperate to shed Rated: 2.5/5 Jul 18, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Glumpy I love this movie. A true Batman detective film. Watching Bruce mature into be the Batman. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/06/24 Full Review Audience Member Batman is a detective again and thats a good thing. The atmosphere was great in this movie. Paul Dano does a great job as the Riddler and Pattinson feels the most like a young Batman compared to previous iterations. Reeves did an amazing job making this more of a thriller/mystery instead of an action movie. The only parts of the movie that I didn't think were great was Selina Kyle's storyline. They felt like an afterthought and it seemed forced into an otherwise already interesting plot. This movie almost lost a star from me for a throwaway line from her at the end, which felt completely unnecessary. I hope Reeves and Pattinson make a trilogy set in this world. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/20/24 Full Review Bigken23 One of the best comic book movies ever. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/29/24 Full Review Matt q Loved the movie, sad there wasn’t enough bat signal popcorn buckets. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/29/24 Full Review marcus i’ll pay whatever amc wants to watch this in dolby every other friday night until the batman part two is released Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/29/24 Full Review Brody 94/100 great film with dazzling imagery. It occasionally stumbles with its writing and pacing, but overall it’s a very good film. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/29/24 Full Review Read all reviews
