Many interesting things are revealed in The Batman movie that are worth waiting for. These facts will later separate The Batman from the film
Rp_News88..The Batman is one of the highly anticipated films of the year. People can't wait to see the action of the batman in fighting crime in Gotham City. Moreover, all the actors in this film are new faces.
There's a lot to look forward to in The Batman. One of them is the action of Robert Pattinson as Batman in this film made by Matt Reeves. In addition, of course the costumes and sophisticated gadgets.
More than that, the story is also awaited. The Batman is promised to provide a fresh treat for superhero movie lovers.
This film will feature another side of Batman as a detective, not just a vigilante running after criminals before beating him up. So, what are some interesting facts from The Batman?
1. Not an origin story
Almost all live-action Batman on the big screen always raises the origin of Batman. The tragedy of little Bruce Wayne who witnessed his parents being killed while leaving the opera is recounted over and over in every Batman movie.
However, this is not the case in The Batman. The Batman immediately tells of Bruce Wayne who has grown up and has become Batman.
So, in this film, the audience will not be invited to go back to witness the tragedy that finally made Bruce as Batman. Similar to Spider-Man: Homecoming where Marvel decided not to tell about the death of Uncle Ben at the hands of robbers.
2. Batman has only been operating for 2 years
The Batman takes place in the early days of Bruce Wayne as Batman. As a new player, Batman still has a lot to learn to continue to hone his skills in fighting crime.
He will have a lot of contact with petty criminals and the police. However, in his early journey, Batman has earned a reputation that is quite feared by street criminals in Gotham.
Like a living legend that stalks criminals from the dark. His Bat-Signal is a fearsome symbol for the city's criminals.
3. Batman becomes a detective
Before being known as a superhero as it is now, Batman started everything as a detective. This is also the other side that was raised in The Batman.
4. Bruce Wayne suffers from mental disorders
Mental health has become a global issue in recent years. A number of platforms, including movies, are keen to raise this issue to raise awareness among audiences about mental health.
The Batman did not escape raising this issue. In the film, Bruce Wayne is told to suffer from mental problems due to childhood trauma after watching his parents die.
The PTSD made him avoid crowds and prefer to be alone. As a result, he was depressed.
Bruce is not interested in socializing and even manages the company left by his parents. Batman seems to be the character he uses to escape his depression.
5. Riddler is the main villain in this film
From the casting line, it is known that The Batman will have a series of villains, such as Penguin and also the Riddler.
6. Barry Keoghan's mysterious role
Barry Keoghan appeared on The Batman casting list without the name of the character he played.
This then gave rise to a lot of speculation among fans. Some guess if Barry will play one of Batman's enemies.
But who? One of the most prominent speculations is the Joker. What's Batman without the Joker, right? If this is confirmed, then Barry will be the umpteenth actor to play the iconic DC villain.
What makes it even more interesting is that there is a scene that presents Barry with his character cut from The Batman.
7. Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne/Batman
The Batman introduces a new character playing Bruce Wayne/Batman, namely Robert Pattinson.
This was a major role change for Robert. Previously, Robert's figure was too identical to a vampire named Edward Cullen from the Twilight series.
Robert is known to have been trying to erase his image as Edward for years. He was also involved in a number of serious films to hone his acting as well as change his image as a vampire.
Batman will be one of the beginnings for him to change his image. Batman is Robert's third major franchise after Harry Potter and Twilight.
8. Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman
Zoe Kravitz gives a new approach to the character Selina Kyle aka Catwoman.
In this film, he will not only become a thieving cat, but will also help Batman. The romance between the two is also inevitable here. In the movie trailer, Batman and Catwoman seem to already know each other.
They look close and flirt with each other. Catwoman hasn't always been in Batman's side. In the comics, he's been the enemy of Batman several times.
9. Almost 3 hours long
The Batman is the longest solo Batman film to date. In total, the film is 2 hours 56 minutes or 176 minutes long.
This also makes The Batman the third longest running superhero film in history. The Batman succeeded in shifting the position of The Dark Knight Rises which has been the longest Batman film with 165 minutes.
Now, The Batman only stands behind Zack Snyder's version of Justice League (4 hours 2 minutes) and Avengers: Endgame (3 hours 1 minute) in the list of the longest superhero films in history.
