“Operatic, simmering, and replete with a smoky noir atmosphere, The Batman is an enthralling package of contradictions.”

– Eric Francisco, Inverse

“What this film does achieve, however, is telling a solid new Batman story, one with some pretty compelling twists and a strong point-of-view on who, exactly, the Caped Crusader is. By default, that makes it one of the better Batman movies ever made.”

– Liz Shannon Miller, Consequence
