I didn’t find ‘The Batman’ anything special and rolled my eyes so hard at the “Bruuuuuuuce Wayyyyyyyne” scene that just remembering it hurts. Colin Farrell’s Penguin is an impressive enough technical feat but, man, he seems made for Harvey Dent. While I’ll almost certainly at minimum sample ‘The Penguin’, I fail to understand the creation of such a series without even fleeting appearances of Batman in the background; also, it seems weird to premiere it on a Thursday night and then repeat that first episode in its Sunday time-slot debut while holding off the second episode for the next Sunday, although I definitely prefer that extreme to the one where three episodes drop at once to start.

Glad I'm not the only one to find The Batman underwhelming. I was promised Batman as a detective, but his biggest deductive leap in that film was....look under the rug.

Pattinson's performance didn't really feel to me like he was really playing Batman. It was more like he was playing a guy who dresses up as Batman.
