Summary
Reviewers say 'The Batman' features intense violence, mature themes, and complex moral dilemmas, making it potentially sensitive for teenagers. The film explores dark Gotham City, delving into vengeance, justice, and trauma's psychological impact. Some find its pacing and length tedious, possibly losing younger audiences' attention. It incorporates contemporary politics and social commentary, which may be challenging for teens. Batman's portrayal as a flawed, human character rather than an infallible hero might also be a sensitive point for some viewers.
Featured reviews
Robert Pattinson is great, I loved this film but if you're reading reviews don't listen to metacritic they are awful. The Batman lives up to the hype for sure.

3 Hours run time is totally worth it.
This one feels like a proper Film not a movie.
A well mature dark movie which Batman character deserves.
Robert Pattinson as Batman and Bruce Wayne is the best casting choice after Christian Bale.
It's so dark, gritty, visceral and god damn great.
Colin Farrell as Penguin was Fantastic. Couldn't recognise him.
Zoe Kravitz as Selina Kyle and Cat woman was great. She was fantastic.
Paul Dano, Jeffrey Wright, Andy Serkis were great too.
Casting was done greatly.
Batmobile was so f*ing great. When the engine revs, you will get the goosebumps.
Action scenes were absolutely f*ing great. Its loud, bombastic and visceral which will give goosebumps.
Fight sequence were absolutely gritty.
Cinematography done by Greig Fraser is another masterpiece from him.
Michael Giacchino music composition really great. It has that dark gritty grandeur theme music.
The dirty, criminality and madness in Gotham City, you will feel it. It's so dark and grey which Batman character needs.
Production Design is just brilliant.
Story wise this movie felt more to Detective Batman comic book and done outstandingly.
Detective Batman which is the original DC stands for.
I couldn't not find any error in the whole movie.
This is a well made brilliant movie by Matt Reeves.
Totally worth waiting for. Can't wait to see it again.

This movie deserves 10/10.
For a hero movie, three hours is a bold attempt; At the same time, with a serious tone of narrative, it is extremely brave challenge. Like 'The Joker', this novel tries its best to create a three-dimensional character; At the same time with a ups and downs of the story, the success of the character image more rich and full. At the expense of course, the other characters are somewhat weak compared to the main characters. And this also leads to some of the emotional depiction is a bit abrupt, which is regrettable. However, whether it is dazzling brilliance, or shocking sound effects, or excellent screenplay, a number of advantages all make this is a high-quality work that cannot be overshadowed by flaws. And as the new Batman Pattinson, also with mature acting presented a qualified answer.
I just got out of The Batman
This movie really won't be for everyone!! Easily the darkest Batman movie yet. It is gritty, depressing and not a fun movie at all.
This isn't your usual comic book movie, it's a detective movie, with more in common with Se7en, than previous Batman movies. The first two thirds of the movie are amazing, at one point I turned to my son and said "This is a masterpiece" everything works and is brilliant, I was 100% enthralled, but boy does it drop the ball in the final act.
Of the cast Pattinson is great, Collin Farrell is ok, Zoe Kravitz was fine too, but she has zero chemistry with Pattinson (Keaton and Pfeiffer they are not), Paul Dano though, was incredible, especially in the scene in Arkham, whilst Geoffrey Wright is as great as he always is.
On the downside, It does have some pacing issues, and is really too long (though I'm not sure what I'd cut), and I really wasn't keen on the ending (I don't know if it is a comic book storyline they did), as I think the final act really lets the movie down!! It's here, in the final act, that you feel the movies run time!!
I was surprised there were only 36 other people in my screening.

Detective Batman at its peak! Great storyline. Just as dark a universe as we've come to expect from DC. The gloomy, gritty, dark tone of this film is exactly what I wanted. When you think the movie is over, there's more. Beautiful cinematography. Great score.
