direction for the franchise if you're sold on its strongest points. If you're not, it'll be a long ride. But even while there's clearly The Batman: Genesis (6:09) - Matt Reeves and Robert Pattinson return to share their personal insight about the lead The Batman's sound design is another notch in the win column, as the default Dolby Atmos mix likewise preserves a theater-grade experience As the film opens we hear two primary sounds: the sound of a person looking through a scope breathing heavily [under a mask] and the song “Ave Maria” performed by a boy’s choir — primarily coming from the front left & right channels but also getting a nice amount of height channel presence as well as used in the rear channels. Both the sound of the man breathing [via the center channel], as he’s spying on someone, and the choir performance come across as downright creepy. And I mean like really creepy and it only gets more intense with action and the subwoofer adding to that as things go along. I’ll say, without dishing out any direct “spoiler,” that it’s no secret that “The Riddler” is going to kill some people here throughout the film and you’re going to be witnessing that, which makes for one scary audio experience, especially in Dolby Atmos. The Dolby Atmos sound mix here is loud and unapologetically right in your face very early on after a bit of a prologue of sorts. Dialogue from “The Batman” during his opening narrative is spot-on being delivered from the center channel and the same goes for the dialogue throughout the course of the length of the film. The Batman does speak a bit rougher than “Bruce Wayne” does here, but not quite as raspy as Batman has in past films. So, you’ll have no problem understanding anything that he says in the middle of a fight or what an enemy is saying.

All and all, “The Batman” (2022) was unlike any of the other Batman films over the years since 1966 or 1989. It is something that goes beyond the level of realism that Christopher Nolan brought to the franchise and expands on that. Matt Reeves gives us a very unique detective story in a film noir sense that takes cutting-edge technology like LED stages and other things to the next level. The performances here are excellent and without that none of what Reeves had put together would have culminated as it does.an exhausted police force unofficially led by Lieutenant James Gordon (Jeffrey Wright), and most importantly Gotham City itself as a dense, character", but that observation clearly applies here... and to nearly the same degree as landmark films like Ridley Scott's Blade Runner or David Fincher's Se7en. It also takes more than a few storytelling cues from the latter: as The Riddler For more about The Batman 4K and the The Batman 4K Blu-ray release, see the The Batman 4K Blu-ray Review published by Randy Miller III on May 20, 2022 where this Blu-ray release scored 4.0 out of 5. it's not powered by vivid neon lights, dynamic cross-lighting, or of course candy-colored costumes. Rounding things out and really setting up the real dilemma here throughout the course of the film is a masked serial killer calling himself “The Riddler” ( Paul Dano) that wants to expose the corruption of Gotham City at its origins and doesn’t care who he has to kill to do so. Plus, he uses social media to get people to listen to him which can be a scary thing itself. I won’t go into much further detail about the full story and plot here in the film, as I feel I already have too much, but let’s just say this is one very intriguing detective story and one of the finer films based on “Batman” that I have ever seen. Matt Reeves has done a great job here and I cannot wait for a sequel.
