"By difficult, we are talking about a series where an unimpressive movie about a villain from the same universe grossed over a billion dollars."
It is one thing to make a wrong call but it is quite another to double down on it. From what I remember, fullhyd movie ratings are based on the potential business at the box office and not on critical parameters. If that is still true, then you got the rating of 5 wrong for "Joker". That is okay. But then to reference that review in this review... well...
The Batman is a movie that expects more from its average moviegoing audience - and that can be a good or bad thing depending upon how you view it. It is also a difficult movie to ponder upon.
By difficult, we are talking about a series where an unimpressive movie about a villain from the same universe grossed over a billion dollars. Director Matt Reeves' vision for the iconic comic hero is laid out for all to see - Pattinson's Batman is grittier, more dark, and has more shades of grey than either those of Bale or Affleck.
