#TheBatman somehow gave me everything I wanted in Robert Pattinson¡¯s young, emo Bruce Wayne and his early years donning the cape and cowl. A moody, atmospheric detective noir thriller, with darkness and humor effortlessly entwined. The BatCat scenes are pure electricity. pic.twitter.com/En7hBLt1ws

Pattinson is the greatest live-action Batman, Zoe Kravitz the greatest live-action #Catwoman, the entire cast is amazing
It¡¯s gritty and dark but heroic. It¡¯s the best we¡¯ve ever seen Batman on film pic.twitter.com/owwS9nK5tm
#TheBatman The fact that people are still comparing comic book movies that are coming out today to Christopher Nolan¡¯s THE DARK KNIGHT is a testament to what a classic that movie is. Not just one of the best comic book movies of all time, it¡¯s arguably the greatest film ever made pic.twitter.com/9DLvDuzxfK

#TheBatman IS EVERYTHING YOU DREAMED A BATMAN FILM WOULD BE! Matt Reeves crafts a brilliant & immersive Gotham I didn¡¯t want to leave.Pattinson as Batman sets a new standard for the caped crusader. Dano¡¯s Riddler is TERRIFYING! Music,Visuals, Cast all just create a 10/10 BAT-FILM pic.twitter.com/ju0FNKjo4I

Matt Reeves knocks it out of the park with #TheBatman. Not only does he bring a fresh take to Gotham but he delves deeper into the ethos of what it takes to become Batman. Robert Pattinson's portrayal is nothing but stellar and shows why he is one of the best actors in the world. pic.twitter.com/eLLqd1zS1f

#TheBatman is the greatest CBM ever made with the greatest Batman performance ever by Robert Pattinson
¡ª Omer K. Farooqi (@OmerKFarooqi) February 28, 2022
Great performances all around. Especially Riddler & the Cat. Scored & written to perfection with elite cinematography & world building
An absolute masterpiece by @mattreevesLA pic.twitter.com/V61P7I468E
#TheBatman is an absolutely gripping, gritty & bleak crime thriller for 3 intense hrs. Pattinson is a truly intimidating force of brutal vengeance as Batman. And finally - an adaptation that embraces Batman as the world's greatest detective. pic.twitter.com/KfAa3tZIY9

Had the honor of watching #TheBatman today. DC was never as thrilling and fun and deep as this film, that has one of the action scenes of the entire franchise. Zo? Kravitz might be the MVP. Her performance would give her an Oscar, if the Academy was less conservative.? pic.twitter.com/09itSS9yBt

#TheBatman will go down as one of the best comicbook films in a long time. The script, performances, set pieces, & visual storytelling was phenomenal. Robert Pattinson shines as an emotional brooding Batman next to Paul Dano's terrifying Riddler. Matt Reeves' modern masterpiece. pic.twitter.com/FBoQmjLzJs

Robert Pattinson will no longer be called twilight boy after #TheBatman. He will forever be known as The Batman once everyone sees how brilliant he is pic.twitter.com/PDKnffYomi
