The Batman (2022)
Not as good as Nolan's
The Batman, in the contemporary cinematic landscape to which it belongs, represents not only a light and a precious gem, but also a small masterpiece.
This film manages to be at the same time one of the most successful cincecomics (it is to all intents and purposes) and at the same time transcend from this genre to represent an excellent product in general. Because if the figure of Batman returns to be central beyond any doubt compared to, for example, the second chapter of the Nolan trilogy, in which the Joker was the main actor of the events and the fuse that exploded the potential evil and murderer in each character, there are still many insights that the film offers and the emotions that it intends and is able to convey.
And they are reflections on society, on corruption, on redemption, on the difficult identification of an incorruptible element. Uncommon reflections in a production, especially of genre, aimed at a wide mass and that winks at the fanbase.
Starting with the assumption that this is a film that we needed and that the superhero genre needed in my opinion to make and expose, it also seems close to the inevitable to come to a qualitative analysis of The Batman and The Dark Knight, then proceeding to a comparison between the works.
First of all, I feel I can say that they are both films that take themselves seriously, ambitious and dark. Dark from the settings to the thin thread that animates and marks the relationships and the balances between the characters, and their mysteries and secrets.
They are films of not indifferent duration but enjoyable and smooth, able to keep glued to the screen and to take the audience's breath away. In the latest film by Matt Reeves, Batman is perhaps too easily and superficially assumed to be good, as the hero who investigates to protect Gotham and its ideals, but clashing with the scars of the past and with the skeletons in the closet of the Wayne house. In the 2008 product, Batman is a Dark Knight, almost an outlaw to be hunted down but who is bait for the criminals who come to Gotham to eliminate him. No one is upright, nor are any of the characters devoid of distortions in their souls that need to be activated and stimulated with "a (sufficient) little push".
Therefore, if plot and message, although different, can be equivalent (in terms of script, sensory and emotional impact and depth), some particular scenes and sequences here and there in the second film by date of production and distribution have not convinced me for the winking at certain clichés, which consequently have not fully convinced me. In "The Dark Knight" reigns the unpredictability, and to withstand the comparison you "challenger" must be perfect from that point of view.
Even the pauses, the timing of the dialogues, the shots and the close-ups I found sometimes a bit predictable and banal.
Another aspect in favor of Nolan is in my opinion the ability to entertain without real fisticuffs, crazy and chaotic car chases, fire here and there, and especially without a real battle or final action. In my opinion Reeves went too far with the destruction of the city and the psychopathic plan of the Riddler, he wanted to overdo it and the movie came out too long. The result is a reduction in realism and credibility of the context of Gotham in which the viewer is immersed, and which were also a strong point in the second chapter of the previous trilogy on the masked hero.
The Riddler is too superficial, branded as a psychopath, and does not have the cunning and wit of the Joker. He's just another madman but can't be seen any other way, as the chaos and illogic that creeps into a society and dismantles its certainties by corrupting its cornerstones. In The Batman, the corruptions and scandals are only revealed and brought to light, the knots come to the comb in a real investigation of Batman, while in The Dark Knight you can see how everything can be reversed and how scandals happen and take place IN HISTORY, and not only included in this one.
