and
fans
worldwide.
Filmibeat
review
describes
the
film
as
a
bridge
between
"the
golden
age
of
Batman
movies
and
what
DCEU
is
about
to
become.
The
Batman
heavily
relies
on
Gotham's
looming
dark
legacy
and
uses
it
to
bring
out
the
finest
details
in
the
story."
The
review
also
praised
Robert
Pattinson's
performance
alongside
Paul
Dano's
performance.
"The
Riddler
makes
up
for
the
long
run
time.
Just
as
the
plot
turns
repetitive
and
the
thriller
begins
to
slow
down,
Paul
Dano
keeps
the
clock
running.
The
Batman
and
The
Riddler
have
an
equal
contribution
to
the
film,
even
the
infamous
Joker
makes
an
appearance.
However,
it
is
the
growth
that
Batman
shows
that
sets
the
film
apart
from
its
predecessor."
The
Batman
stars
Robert
Pattinson,
Zoe
Kravitz,
Paul
Dano,
Jeffrey
Wright
and
others
in
pivotal
roles.
