I could tell you the issues I had with this and what kept me from full on loving it- it's inability to pick an ending, the somewhat messy narrative... but why complain when something is this inventive, this magical, this silly, this visually captivating.

Still, if this is what I'm getting in the meantime I'm more than happy with that.

The Batman 2022
I... didn't love this. Thought Paul Dano was awesome, Barry Keoghan as well in his brief second of screen time. I enjoyed some of the action set pieces and the Riddler's plot, but other than that the film was so on-the-nose, at times laughably, and it looked pretty ugly as well. and it was only 8 hours long!
