THE BATMAN Explained: The Biggest Questions Answered

[CortexVideos]

Here's my continuation to my breakdown video for THE BATMAN that I posted the other day. I aim to address the biggest questions and easter eggs that I didn't cover in that video, but there still may be ones that you may have picked out. So let me know down below.

[kman]

If Reeves and Pattinson can stick together on this thing and see it through, they can most likely create the most successful, interesting and best Batman series of all time. That's my prediction. Between Reeves story-telling and director talents combined with Pattisons acting abilities, I could see these movies winning awards, critical acclaim and fan bases. The first movie was amazing and I am beyond excited about the potential of the next few movies. This could be really special guys! So excited!

I really hope that a future movie has Bruce hunting down answers to the mystery of his parents’ murder upon discovery of more potential clues, leading him to investigate the Court of Owls (hopefully enlisting the help of the Riddler) and ultimately confront the real personal motive for his crusade, his trauma, giving us the real psychological deep-dive I felt was lacking here.

I have always felt like the reason Bruce keeps fighting is that he is hunting for some closure to his parents’ death that he can never find because it really was a random event, and I think sending him on a futile hunt for a final answer and forcing him to accept that he doesn’t need it would be a great final arc.

[timbeckley]

I think I'm obsessed with this movie, I've watch a min of 40 vids about it since I watched it lol, love ya batman content brother, take care...

[gagaloverk]

I really hope that Joker isn’t going to be the main villain in the sequel, it’s still too soon to have ANOTHER Batman vs Joker movie, I’m pretty much over that. Maybe keep him as a background character for the sequel, then bring him more into focus in the third installment.

[jasoncoladonato]

I think introducing the Court of Owls as the main villains for the sequel makes the most sense imo. It was alluded to by Colson when he said something like, “No they’ll never let me live.” Remember that part? It just makes too much sense. I think it could play out like MI 5: Rogue Nation meets Eyes Wide Shut. Like stil that noir detective thriller with a cult story element intertwined in there. Could be really great.


I also think Two Face would be a great character to introduce. I think Reeves could model this after the Telltale Series, as there are a lot of things in The Batman he takes from that game. One thing Reeves could do is introduce Harvey Dent as he maybe is campaigning to be major or the DA; then you have Bruce be his benefactor or sponsor, like in the Telltale Series. This would also be a way to “rewrite” Bruce Wayne in the sequel. I believe a great arc for Bruce in the second film could be him realizing that even though he hates the public spotlight and sees his true self as Batman, Bruce Wayne is more than capable of truly helping Gotham City and combating corruption and crime.

I am glad this film focused more on his DETECTIVE side....because we all know he can fight and whupp aizz. This time...he has to SOLVE A RIDDLE/PUZZLE/MYSTERY....and that takes some SERIOUS thinkng....especially when dealing with somebody like the Riddler.

I'm also glad Reeves didn't put 8 or 9 super villians in the film. I'm just SO TIRED of seeing that. In my humble opinion, THIS is the Batman we have needed since 1989. This film is a strong sign of REALLY GOOD things to come....and I intend to be FRONT ROW for all of it. EXCELLENT work, Matt Reeves....just EXCELLENT.

The man who spoke to Bruce in the funeral. The man who sort of recognized him when Bella Real called out Bruce’s name. I’m guessing that’s Joe Chill the guy who killed Thomas and Martha Wayne.

[jayantraghuvanshi]

Some are saying that he depended too much on his bulletproof suit, Understand that criminals have guns they are gonna use them, its the thing that made batman fights more practical and raw in this movie.

[Jack-bor]

I’m ready for the entire trilogy …. Best Batman ever

[steveshelby]

The flood could also bring out the killer croc

[harsyakiarraathallah]

Both Penguin and Catwoman deserve there Own Shows.

[nickkirastoulis]

I have one question that no one has answered yet. when bruce waine enters the funeral, after talking to falcone, he stands next to a man sitting down. The man says "hey don't I know you?" and after hearing that it's bruce waine standing next to him, he sinks down in his seat and has a scared look on his face. who was that man?

[arcenal_studios]

great video! In fact, your channel inspired me to post my own videos about movies (for ESL students) Keep up the good work!

[justthinkingoutloud]

Personally, this story drew upon Hush enough that I think this is pretty much the closest thing to an adaptation of that storyline that we’ll get, and that bit was just a nod to it. But we’ll see.

[AyyDeJayZone]

The dark navy edited version of the suit in the thumbnail looks really good it would be nice to see it in the film it works well with the design

[edwardnring]

Give Oscar to this Film. It's not just a request, it's a warning.

[theidiotphilosopher]

I keep hearing the comparisons to Hush, but where's the love for Dark Victory? I personally see a lot of similarities.

[abcdefghi]

I agree with the Joker info and breakdown you gave, I think Hush is most likely a nod and an easter egg since the Riddler had elements of Hush to him from the comic books in the first film and being that Falcone is a liar and murderer it's simply he lied to Bruce in that scene and was responsible for put a criminal in his employ to kill the Waynes. He didn't pull the trigger since Thomas saved his life and was a friend but could've hired someone to kill Bruce's parents after learnin g Thomas was going to the cops after the murder of the reporter.

I love this movie so much! I think it’s a perfect Batman movie. Everything about it just makes me so excited for more battison! Saw it on opening night then I saw it again tonight.
