This week on the Triple FFF we’re busting out of the 50’s and landing squarely in the present day to discuss 2022’s The Batman directed by Matt Reeves and starring Robert Pattinson, Zoe Kravitz, Jeffrey Wright, Paul Dano, Jon Tuturro and an unrecognizable and surprisingly good Colin Farrell.
My guests this week are Roseanne Caputi and David Johnson and the crown prince of criminally underutilized talent, Gordon Alex Robertson!
And now the Bat-synopsis
The Batman is the 8th cinematic incarnation of the Batman comic book universe and the 11th overall motion picture featuring the character of Bruce Wayne and his alter ego The Batman. This version depicts a young caped crusader, two years into his one man war against crime, assisting his friend Lt. James Gordon in a hunt to find the Riddler, a psychopathic murderer who teases clues to his identity with each corrupt government official he kills, often with a greeting card directed at Batman containing a riddle.
Along the way, Batman crosses paths with Selina Kyla aka The Catwoman who is embroiled with the shady underworld of Gotham City led by mobster Carmine Falcone and his right hand man, Oz Cobblepott, also known as The Penguin. All of these colorful characters are tied to The Riddler’s grand scheme to exact revenge on the corrupt and deceitful city officials who have let him down since he was a small boy.
Does the Riddler succeed in his scheme? Can Batman stop him in time?
Is this movie any good?
