The Batman Movie Directed by Matt Reeves Gets Positive Reaction

The Batman, directed by Matt Reeves, received positive reactions from the audience. This makes fans impatiently waiting for the continuation of Robert Pattinson's version of Bruce Wayne

The film follows Bruce Wayne's second year as a Gotham City crime hunter. His presence is so feared by criminals in every corner of the city because Batman is known as a mysterious and brutal figure.

The main antagonist in The Batman this time is the Riddler. He is a serial killer who always leaves a message containing a riddle for Batman. As the figure the Riddler is after, Batman must solve the Riddler's riddle to find out his evil intentions. On the other hand, Riddler victims continue to fall and most of them come from the elite of Gotham City.

The hunt then leads Wayne to a clue that reveals the big secrets of Gotham City. Not only that, the secrets of the Wayne family in the past were also revealed. As the first film in Robert Pattinson's version of the Batverse universe, The Batman presents an ending that serves as a bridge for the next Batman universe project.

In the final part of the film, the Riddler, already imprisoned, finally meets Batman. He then uncovers the reasons behind the murders of Gotham's corrupt elite. Riddler aka Edward Nashton was an orphan who grew up in poverty. He became an accountant as an adult so he knew the ins and outs of finance in Gotham, including the Renewal Program, which was funded by Thomas Wayne, Bruce's father.

The Renewal Fund, which was supposed to be used to support poor people like Edward, turned out to be misused by the Gotham elite. One of them was Carmine Falcone, who took over the management of the money after Thomas Wayne's death.

Carmine Falcone is one of the Riddler's most important assassination targets. Because, he is considered to be the most corrupt and greedy person in Gotham for trapping the drug business Salvatore Maroni so that he can become the most powerful mafia. Riddler also reveals that the last victim in his assassination plan is Bruce Wayne. That's because people forgot about the Renewal program and only paid attention to Bruce Wayne, the poor rich kid who lost his parents. Meanwhile, other orphans continue to suffer.

The culmination of the Riddler's plan was to bomb the canals in Gotham to drown the city in a flood. Thus, the government was "forced" to make changes and make real updates. The Batman ending also provides a number of clues regarding the future of Gotham's villains. One of them, the scene of the Riddler imprisoned at Arkham Asylum. He was in a cell next to another criminal. "Friends" next to Riddler's cell spoke to him and gave him a riddle that read: "The less you have, the more it means." Riddler who is a puzzle expert then replied, "friends" and ended with the two of them laughing together.
