I really enjoyed #TheBatman!

– Great unpacking of the Batman mythos.
– Worldbuilding was done super well, Gotham and The Batman's universe is fully realized.
– Score was phenomenal, you can literally feel it in IMAX.
– Wonderfully directed movie, Matt Reeves is one of the GOATs. pic.twitter.com/q2RRbR7hPa
Holy shit. The Batman exceeded all my expectations. Robert Pattinson just might be my favorite Batman. Gotham is just as dark as I wanted it to be & the villains are INSANE (& I love it). Didn't feel like 3 hrs — I could have watched more. VISUALLY STUNNING! #TheBatman pic.twitter.com/QR7nNrLpHl

Imagine one of the best graphic novels ever written brought to life in a 3-hour crime epic of the highest order, produced with a genius director, pitch-perfect cast and the most dazzling technical elements you’ve ever seen in a comic book movie.

That’s Matt Reeves’ #TheBatman pic.twitter.com/4KsKOXkHRn
The Batman is pure, ambitious bliss.

Robert Pattinson nails it, Colin Farrell is unrecognizable and Matt Reeves has crafted one of the finest detective stories ever put on screen.
Despite it's hefty 3-hour run time, this is yet another thunderous winner for DC.
Grade: 9/10 pic.twitter.com/MXNtZVlTaQ
THE BATMAN finds stride outside of typical comic boom action, instead going full detective mystery mode and it’s FANTASTIC.

Finding a new take on an old hero is tough, but @mattreevesLA manages to create an all-new Bruce and Gotham that will sweep you away. pic.twitter.com/Kq6pnoBttm
One of the most magnificent films I’ve ever experienced. Reeves and Fraser continue to prove they’re some of the best at their positions. Thats all I have to say on the matter now.

#TheBatman is one of the most effective Batman stories ever put to screen.

Matt Reeves plunges you into the filth that is Gotham and lets you bathe in for 3 hours while balancing a captivating mystery and crime story.
This is *THE* Batman people have been waiting for. pic.twitter.com/eH136LVJt8
#TheBatman is unapologetically awesome. Somehow blends old school noir w/ modern elements of Prisoners, Zodiac, etc. Far & away the best detective story I’ve seen in years. Pattinson x Kravitz crush, but Paul Dano is my rockstar. Slow burn, but maximizes every minute. @DCU_Direct

#TheBatman is a knock out in all areas of what a CBM should be. A phenomenal Batman story with a living Gotham that feels like it's own character. Greig Fraser shows why he's one of the best cinematographers in the industry.

I am in awe. It absolutely shattered my expectations. Cinema. #TheBatman pic.twitter.com/Je68p5Zzeq

THE BATMAN is undeniably a film. Brimming with a score, cinematography, and performances, it’s a motion picture made by a team of filmmakers that can irrefutably be described as existent. Truly one of the films 2022 has to offer. #TheBatman

Just got out of #TheBatman and it was absolutely stunning. One of the best comic book movies of all time and a proper rival to the dark knight. pic.twitter.com/s2exLOr1Ho

#TheBatman was one of the best cinematic experiences I have had in years. High Torque story telling where u really feel the traction. Loved all the performances. They could have shorten the runtime a little. Defo Oscar noms on Tech & Music side. Score killed it! 9.7/10

#TheBatman is an epic film.

Pattinson is amazing. Kravitz is fantastic. Dano is a menacing villain. Gotham looks beautiful. Go see it. #TheBatman is the best Batman film. Pattinson is #Batman pic.twitter.com/dJiupVB3Mp
So #TheBatman is really good, but feels very similar to Nolan's trilogy. The filmmaking and acting is solid across the board but little felt new, and at times got so bogged down in trying to make it believable. I just wanted it to embrace the fact it was a comic book movie more.

You've nothing to worry about 😳 #TheBatman is gripping! A haunting, detective thriller that'll have you on the edge of your seat enthralling in the tension, characters & action sequences. It's one of Comic Book Movies best & shows why Matt Reeves is one of the best working today pic.twitter.com/7Q72YLziDQ
