Pattinson's opening attack on gang members shows him casually emerging from the darkness, taking on multiple foes at once. Whereas Christian Bale’s version largely operated in the shadows, picking off one criminal at a time, The Batman's vigilante doesn’t hide. There is a strong reason to fear Pattinson’s Batman. Its jagged wings better resemble a creature stalking the city, working brilliantly alongside Robert Pattinson's Batsuit, with shots emphasizing his cape and Gothic collar as if he were Dracula. Although Nolan also used the bat symbol as an instrument of fear, The Batman's signal is more frightening than any previous version. The Dark Knight's mobsters met during the day to avoid Batman, but Pattinson's vigilante never stops the hunt. Nolan attempted a similar idea, albeit with far less visual impact. The montage of low-level criminals scrambling out of sight as the signal pierces the sky truly emphasizes how terrified people are of Batman. However, The Batman's opening flips this notion by showing its ominous effects from criminals' point of view, as they fear the vigilante could burst out of the shadows at any moment. The Batman simultaneously illustrates how its hero perfectly embodies fear, while also proving its ineffectiveness for deterring crime.īatman cannot be everywhere at once, but Reeves' film uses the signal to provide an illusion to the contrary. The bat signal is normally presented as a hopeful reminder that Batman is coming to save the day. It’s a warning.” Nolan tackled the same idea in The Dark Knight but never showed the depths of Batman's fear tactics or how he caused criminals to reconsider their actions. The bat signal is viewed as a terrifying symbol, as Pattinson’s Batman states, “ When that light hits the sky, it’s not just a call. The Batman’s opening is an excellent showcase for how the vigilante spreads fear throughout Gotham. Related: The Batman Fixed Nolan's Biggest Bruce Wayne Mistake
Although The Batman’s ending sees Bruce with renewed hope for Gotham’s future, he had to learn a crucial lesson about the value of fear – one which Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy never fully realized. His attempt to apprehend the Riddler (Paul Dano) and various clashes with Gotham’s criminal underground lead the masked vigilante to believe the city is broken. Robert Pattinson stars as Batman, still in the early days of crimefighting and uninterested in balancing a double life as Bruce Wayne.
