The Batman
What to Know
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.

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 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 Liz Shannon Miller Consequence What this film does achieve, however, is telling a solid new Batman story, one with some pretty compelling twists and a strong point-of-view on who, exactly, the Caped Crusader is. By default, that makes it one of the better Batman movies ever made. Mar 19, 2022 Full Review Benjamín Harguindey EscribiendoCine It starts with an original vision of the hero, has an inspired cast, creates a self-sufficient story and elevates it with a stylized direction that's in line with the film's substance. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 9/10 Nov 20, 2023 Full Review Daniel Baptista The Movie Podcast The Batman is an ALL TIME BEST FILM. Matt Reeves has crafted the DEFINITIVE take on The Caped Crusader that Pattinson will define for generations to come. Brooding and brutal, I didn’t want it to end. Sep 27, 2023 Full Review Christian Eulinberg InSession Film The Batman isn’t just another entry in a trilogy or a multi-directed Batman starring three Bruce Wayne’s. It’s a love letter to fans who have waited decades for a faithful adaptation of Batman. Sep 25, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
Joaquin C It’s dark, gritty, down to earth, and feels just like as if it was pulled out of a comic book. The opening monologue has to be one of the best openings to any superhero movie. The tone is very depressing and really legitimately shows Gotham as a turned over, crime filled town that NEEDS Batman. The 3 hour runtime doesn’t hurt it in the slightest either. Every scene here is necessary, and there’s pretty much nothing that NEEDS to be cut from the film. Rated 5/5 Stars •Rated 5 out of 5 stars05/14/24 Full Review First name L The Dark Knight casts a long shadow; Pattinson capably rises to the occasion. It returns to Batman's detective roots, scales back on spectacle for a truly solid Gotham noir. I'd rate it much higher, but it runs a little long and the third act commentary is heavy handed. Rated 3/5 Stars •Rated 3 out of 5 stars05/10/24 Full Review Thomas G They gave us a detective batman who is still learning and is still flawed. The character development really showed from beginning to end. Can't wait for number 2 Rated 5/5 Stars •Rated 5 out of 5 stars03/31/24 Full Review John Too Long And Uneventful Rated 2/5 Stars •Rated 2 out of 5 stars03/05/24 Full Review Jay Matt Reeves knocks it out the park. Rated 5/5 Stars •Rated 5 out of 5 stars01/25/24 Full Review TomE Started out strong but much like the villain it lost the plot and went fully insane.
