  The end is actually awesome how the Riddler technically wins but Batman stays and leads the people to safety, finally embracing the hero he truly is instead of just a masked bad ass vigilante and the embodiment of vengeance.

  Bruce’s line “the city is eating itself” made me think of Ouroboros the symbol of the serpent that is eternally eating its own tail. The city’s evil has no beginning or end. Gotham was doomed from its conception and birthed a vigilante that is doomed to never ultimately save it

  this movie deconstructs the whole batman is a mean careless emotionless badass to even his friends and family stigma that&apos;s gone on for so long so beautifully. the people who think or write batman that way fundamentally do not understand him whatsoever.

  I think the animated series Batman understood this lesson. He always tried to reach the humanity in his villains

  lol you made me realize how disrespectful we’ve been to uncle Alfred this whole time. Bruce technically wasn’t an orphan

  I always loved the scene of him implying that Selena was selling herself out, it felt so visceral, uncomfortable and rude af. But he also sounded so hurt and upset at the idea, he was obviously lashing out in an attempt to gain some control of the situation… I’ve felt that way before at a similar thought. That’s how I know the acting was very good. Robert really killed it in this film.

  This is the best video essay on The Batman that I’ve seen. You highlighted the film’s incredible attention to detail beautifully, and your analysis of Bruce’s character arc and the themes of the film were spot on. Incredible work—you should be really proud.

  What&apos;s amazing to me is how so much about Riddler has double meanings. It becomes apparent with his riddles, but I love how the initial viewing of the interrogation makes it seem like Riddler&apos;s biting at Batman, giving him the &quot;education&quot; he needs... and then you realize what he&apos;s doing is passionately confiding in his idol, getting his supposed teammate up to speed on his background. The dual nature of that exposition works so well from either side.

  This is another reason why I desperately want the next movie to introduce Robin, because robins are almost always the light that Batman otherwise can’t be for Gotham and himself and I think that is incredibly fitting for this movie’s theme

  To quote Garrus Vakarian of Mass Effect fame: Sometimes, you need good people around you to remind you to be good.

  I don&apos;t know what it is with me but this video made me realize I missed 90% of the film&apos;s story. I seriously did not realize this film was this deep with themes this fleshed out. I understood the story at a basic level which I always accepted the film was. I did not realize the intricacies and the excellence of how this film tackles its themes. It opened my eyes and had me dumbfounded about how the heck could I have missed so much despite watching it habitually. I&apos;m seriously thankful for this video. This is, the best video essay on this movie and will for sure change the way I watch this movie from now on.
