Batman trailer casting runtime story

Initial reactions to the trailer are overwhelmingly positive, with viewers expressing excitement about the film's tone and style. The cast, particularly Robert Pattinson and Colin Farrell, has generated a mix of intrigue and praise among fans.12

As discussions progress, some viewers express concerns about the film's length and potential comparisons to Nolan's trilogy, while others champion its distinct approach. The Batman's gothic atmosphere and emphasis on detective work have resonated with many.34

Post-viewing discussions highlight strong performances and the film's noir elements, but opinions on its runtime vary, with some suggesting it could be trimmed. Overall, it seems to stand as a noteworthy entry in the Batman saga.56

"Robert Pattinson is a pretty great actor... makes a far better bat."

"To me, The Batman looks like a return to actual Batman."

Verdict

While varied opinions on the film's length and comparisons to previous Batman adaptations persist, it appears to successfully re-establish Batman's essence. Many are eager for potential future stories.

I was unsure about Pattinson when he was announced for the role but this does look particularly good.

There's a breakdown of the trailer on Polygon for those interested. Must admit, I missed a couple of things.

If it plays out like other Batman stories then Gordon will be giving Batman shit for any use of excessive force.

Looks great I have to say and a return to a gothic type atmosphere that we haven't seen since Batman Returns.

Colin Farrell really is unrecognisable

The trailer looks good, quite dark which I think Batman so really be anyway.

Fair play to Farrell, that's even beating Oldman in Darkest Hour in the prosthetics stakes. Totally unrecognizable. Still finding it hard to believe it's him hopefully the performance lives up to the risk.

I grew really tired of Jeffrey Wright and his style of whisper-slow-drawn out delivery he does, he seems to be doing likewise in the trailer. A small, but inconvenient issue.

Ah I loved it, didn't think Oldman could be matched in his performance but Wright is an inspired choice.
