Ep 75: The Batman Spoiler Review

<p><b> Episode: Show Notes.</b></p><p>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 <em>more</em> gloomy and hopeless noir about the world of Gotham City and the Dark Knight, it can be argued that <em>The Batman </em>does not even feel like a superhero film. Continuing the trajectory of the Christopher Nolan films and more recently <em>Joker,</em> the increased realism can definitely be seen as a drawcard for the film. In today&apos;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 &apos;Batman voice&apos;, the Batsuit, and Batman&apos;s rage! Please be warned, this episode does include some plot spoilers, so proceed with caution.</p><p><br/></p><p><b>Key Points From This Episode:</b></p><ul><li>Our initial thoughts going into the movie; hopes and reservations.</li><li>The casting of Robert Pattinson as Batman and what he brings to the role.</li><li>Past appearances of the Riddler, and how the villain is portrayed in the new film.  </li><li>The amazing music from the film, composed by Michael Giacchino.</li><li>Comparisons with the other prominent Batman films and the increased angst in the lead character. </li><li>Our thoughts on Batman&apos;s invincibility as a character.  </li><li>The amount of detail and exposition that is packed into the three-hour film.  </li><li>The conflation of the characters of Bruce Wayne and Batman in the latest film.  </li><li>Going over the critical response to the film and what people have said about it thus far.</li><li>Final thoughts and ratings from the panel</li></ul> <a rel="payment" href="https://www.facebook.com/TheOzCulturePodcast/">Support the show</a> (https://www.facebook.com/TheOzCulturePodcast/)
