The Batman [Movie Review] | Yes. Finally The Batman hits the cinema and it is by default that I should watch this one too, as I am a superhero-freak. 

How did Rob Pattinson fair, a former vampire, as the night vigilante?

On Hallowen night, Gotham City mayor, Don Mitchell Jr. is murdered by a serial killer who called himself/ herself The Riddler - as he loves leaving riddles for the Batman. 

Bruce Wayne, who has lurked the streets of Gotham for almost two years as the Batman, roped in for the investigation of the murdered mayor by Lieutenant James Gordon. The invitation is not welcomed by Commissioner Pete Savage. Not long after, The Riddler kill Pete and leave another riddle for the Batman. 

Along the investigation, the Batman and Lt. James found so many disturbing findings and proofs of misconduct by the very people that were supposed to keep Gotham safe. And some of the findings make its way to the press, making the investigation harder as the public berates the police force as 'corrupted'. 

During one of the investigation, the Batman befriends Selina Kyle, a waitress at one of the clubs where Mayor Mitchell was seen with Annika, who is now disappear. And later, they found Annika's body which drive Selina mad. 

Their investigation leads to an orphanage that Bruce's parents operated and they learned that The Riddled was once the resident there. 

The deeper they are into the investigation, the more truths prevailed, and some are not for the faint heart, or beliefs. 

What will become of the Batman, who known for the cold heart, when he learns the truth about his bloodline? Or is that the real truth?

MY REVIEW

Plot: 4.6/ 5.0 The plot was 'real' I would say - not some fantasy superhero like what I have expected in the first place. 

Real as in you'll see there are times when Batman feels defeated, mentally tired and physically abused. And the costumes are not so fancy as I had expected.  

Is there a post-credit? The answer is Yes and No

This is also the first time ever I see the Batman walk publicly among the police force while investigating a case. Previous ones, he always vanishes once Lt Gordon exhales or wink. 

Cast: 4.7/ 5.0 Bow down to the Batman and Catwoman of this version. Both were amazing and real.

Will I Watch It Again: I would, with a select group of friends as a movie of 3-hours might make or break a friendship. Haha. 

The pictures are taken from multiple sources on the Internet. Thank you.
