) Some Audiences Could Be Disappointed By The Batman

#The batman trailer movie
What the movie shows me doesn’t seem to match with what I’m hearing it’s about. Certainly noir stories have a certain amount of darkness to them, both physical and emotional, but darkness alone does not make noir. There was perhaps some of it in last year's teaser for The Batman, with Batman being left a mysterious note. The problem is that I don’t really see this in the trailers beyond minor hints. As a fan of good old-fashioned detective fiction, seeing that, but with superheroes, seems like a lot of fun. Personally, I’ve been excited by this idea since Matt Reeves' first comments about it. But there's a significant jump to make between puzzles Batman needs to solve and a true mystery that needs to be unraveled. We've seen hints of this in the newest trailer with The Riddler's taunting clues being left behind, and Batman seemingly trying to figure out just what the man is up to. It seems, based on (admittedly unconfirmed) reports from test audiences, that The Batman will be something a bit different, in that the Dark Knight’s battle with the Riddler will set itself apart from other Batman movies by being ultimately a detective story. There is rarely a mystery to be solved, simply a villain to be stopped. But it has to be said that we’ve never really seen these aspects of the character focused on when it comes to the big screen.

It’s a noir detective story.īatman was born in DC’s Detective Comics, and he’s known as the World’s Greatest Detective.

The problem is that, based on comments that director Matt Reeves made early on in the development of The Batman, which have seemingly been born out by reports from some who have attended test screenings, this Batman movie isn’t just another superhero action movie with a grim aesthetic. ) We’re Told The Batman Is A Noir Detective Story
