We pick up the story at a time when virtually everyone on the police force considers Batman to be an outlaw with a gimmick, the only exception being the earnest and capable Lt. (In true film noir fashion, it’s almost always raining in “The Batman” and there’s almost always something troubling lurking in the steam and the mist and the dark of night.) In this iteration the dark knight (Robert Pattinson) is only two years into his career and is just beginning to calibrate his moral compass while battling the scum of Gotham City in the shadows and the rain. We’ve seen Batman when he was starting out (“Batman Begins”), Batman in the midst of his crime-fighting prime (“Batman Returns”) and Batman as a world-weary, battle-scarred, 45ish caped crusader (“Justice League”). A gritty and grounded and relatively dark exploration into the troubled psyche of the young Bruce Wayne/Batman, who is early into his crime-fighting career when a mysterious, violent, devious and quite insane sociopath starts knocking off some of Gotham City’s most elite power brokers, all the while making a sick game out of it. When the character of Batman made his debut in 1939, he was the cover subject of “Detective Comics,” as it was then known, and that’s what we’re getting here: a detective story. Rated PG-13 (for strong violent and disturbing content, drug content, strong language, and some suggestive material). presents a film directed by Matt Reeves and written by Reeves and Peter Craig.
