Every day, AlloCiné suggests a movie to watch or revisit on TV. Tonight’s pick features Robert Pattinson as one of the greatest masked vigilantes.
To this day, it’s tough to compete with one of the most remarkable superhero films of the 21st century: Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight. Yet, the movie we’re about to discuss ranks among the finest: The Batman. Five years after captivating audiences with War for the Planet of the Apes, Matt Reeves delves into a completely different world: the superhero universe. He takes on the formidable task of directing yet another feature film about Bruce Wayne, the latest to date.
Released in theaters in 2022, The Batman closely follows the new adventures of our superhero in the dark depths of Gotham City. Here, Bruce Wayne is on a mission to stop a serial killer targeting the city’s elite. Throughout his grim investigation in the underworld, Batman encounters legendary characters: from Catwoman to The Penguin, and from Carmine Falcone to The Riddler.
Looking for another TV movie recommendation for tonight? We suggest this film following in the footsteps of Braveheart, telling the tale of another Scottish legend.
To portray the iconic Dark Knight, Matt Reeves chose British actor Robert Pattinson, resulting in a tormented hero who brings a dark and captivating dimension to the character. Meanwhile, Paul Dano is chilling as a psychopathic criminal, Zoë Kravitz portrays a feline heroine, and Colin Farrell is unrecognizable as The Penguin (much like in the new series by Lauren LeFranc).
Global Box Office Triumph
With seven nominations, including three at the Oscars in 2023, it’s safe to say that The Batman has succeeded in entering the ranks of the best superhero films in recent years. This is evident from the ratings it has received from viewers.
The three-hour feature film scores an impressive average of 4.1/5. While it doesn’t surpass The Dark Knight’s rating of 4.5/5, it matches it in terms of box office performance. In France alone, it garnered over three million admissions!
According to the latest figures, The Batman has amassed a modest sum of $750 million in profits worldwide. Quite the achievement! Will Joker: Madness for Two achieve as much? Tune in tonight on TF1 at 9:10 PM.
