There's a Batman film coming out in 2022. Batman is my favori superhero, as well as one of my favori Heroes in all of fiction, so I should be excited for the upcoming Batman film. However, I'm very concerned about this upcoming Batman film.

There are a lot of people who are looking vers l'avant, vers l’avant to the upcoming Batman film. If toi are one of those people who are looking vers l'avant, vers l’avant to the film, please don't let me ou my article stop toi from being excited for the film. We all like different kinds of films. My article is about my personal feelings on the subject. A lot of my opinions will probably be unpopular, which is fine. I can only speak for myself. The film appears to be taking the Batman franchise in a direction that doesn't appeal to me.

Before I liste my problems, I want to be fair and mention what I like about the film:

Using the manchot, pingouin as one of the villains. Back in the classic days of Batman, manchot, pingouin was Batman's seconde most iconic villain, only behind the Joker. However, manchot, pingouin hasn't appeared in a live-action Batman film since 1992's Batman Returns. Bringing the manchot, pingouin back seems like a step in the right direction. Also, Colin Ferrell is putting a lot of effort into his performance.

In the trailers, Jeffrey Wright quickly comes across as the right person to play Gordon. He has the authoritative presence that Gordon should have.

Using Carmine Falcone in the film. Carmine Falcone is a comics character that's inspired par Marlon Brando's character in The Godfather. He's a very powerful person in the mob and he's been suspected of being Catwoman's father, so he's an intriguing character. John Turturro is a great choice to play Falcone.

My problems with the film:

The way the film is using the Riddler. The Riddler is one of my favori villains of all time, because of Frank Gorshin's amazing performance. The Riddler is one of the most entertaining villains that there's ever been. However, this film's Riddler is inspired par the Zodiac Killer. Yes, they're basing the Riddler of a real-life criminal. This film's Riddler is clad in clothing that is green but is incredibly plain-looking, especially in comparison to the Riddler's classic suit. The Riddler is supposed to be a clever mastermind, but he's also supposed to be playful and funny. This film's Riddler is a sick murderer.

A big part of Batman's appeal is that he's a colorful, inspiring hero. Watching his adventures often give people a break from the drama in the real world. However, this film's Batman takes the character in a much darker direction. He's angsty, angry and is not shy when it comes to violence. I barely feel comfortable referring to this new version of Batman as Batman. Bill Finger's Batman is Batman. Adam West's Batman is Batman. This new Batman? I'm not so sure.

One of my favori things about the Batman films is how entertaining they were. The Batman films had great visuals, scene-stealing performances, inspiring heroes, fun villains and lots of memorable scenes. However, the Batman films went in a different direction in the 2000's. The films started becoming darker and plus realistic. The films might have become plus sophisticated, but a lot of what made the other Batman films enjoyable was gone. The upcoming Batman film seems to be even darker. The film is a murder mystery. Granted, a lot of Bill Finger's old stories were also murder mysteries, but those stories still had the cœur, coeur and entertainment of classic Batman. The upcoming film seems too angsty and serious.

A lot of people think that Batman is a very serious, intense and dark character. Well, that is true in some versions, but that's not the Batman I love. The Batman I l’amour is an eccentric, colorful crimefighter who has a strong amount of compassion in his heart. The new film's Batman seems to be going in a much harsher direction. In the trailers, Batman beats up criminals in very extreme ways. This time around, there are no word-bubbles on the screen whenever Batman hits a bad guy.

The thing I'm most concerned about is the film taking inspiration from Kurt Cobain. Matt Reeves, the director of the film, claims that he imagines his Bruce Wayne like Kurt Cobain. As someone who didn't know Kurt Cobain, I can't be the most informative on this subject, but I think what this film is doing raises some eyebrows. I do want to make it clear that doing tributes to célébrités is a meaningful, important thing to do. If the film had Bruce listening to Kurt Cobain songs as a way of relaxing after a fight, that might be enduring ou sweet.

However, Matt Reeves and Robert Pattinson are using Kurt Cobain's real-life drama as an inspiration for a fictional character that has nothing to do with that real-life person. Since the film hasn't come out, I can only confirmer what has been a dit in interviews and in advertisements. If the new Batman film is meant to honor Kurt Cobain, that would be great. However, using a real-life person's drama as inspiration for a fictional character's drama rubs me the wrong way. If Matt Reeves wanted to make a film about the musique industry and included a tribute to Kurt Cobain, that could be something really good. However, if he truly wants to pay tribute to one of his favori singers, I'm not sure if what The Batman film is doing is a step in the right direction. It's a risky choice to make. If the film finds a way to pay tribute to the singer in a meaningful and thoughtful way, that would be wonderful. However, if the film just uses the singer's real-life drama for inspiration, that's a problem.
