'The Batman' Review

The Batman movie is closer than ever, and fans are more and more impatient to finally go to theaters to watch the first Batman solo movie after 10 years. Considering that Ben Affleck never had the chance to star in a solo movie as Batman, The Batman with Robert Pattinson will now be the first solo Batman movie since 2012’s The Dark Knight Rises, which concluded Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy.

After Ben Affleck walked out on the solo Batman project, which was supposed to be set in the DCEU, Matt Reeves decided to reshape the movie and set it outside of DCEU. Robert Pattinson was chosen to play younger Bruce Wayne who isn’t a typical playboy billionaire, but more a street superhero who is fighting not only Gotham City’s villains, but also his inner demons.

Reeves and Pattinson revealed that they’re keeping the focus on the first movie, but it’s obvious that sequels are already planned if the movie smashes the box-office, and considering that this is one widely expected Batman movie, we see no reason for it to be a flop.

“I really believe in what we’ve done and I’d be excited to tell more stories. We are already telling other stories in the streaming space, we’re doing stuff on HBO Max, we’re doing a Penguin show with Colin [Farrell], which is gonna be super cool. And we’re working on some other stuff, too, but we have started talking about another movie.” — Matt Reeves for The Independent

He's also a web designer and holds a Master’s degree in general Computer Science from the Faculty of Informatics based in Pula, Croatia. Since 2018, Lukas has worked on several portals writing about movies, TV shows, and video games. He's currently writing articles for two of them: Fiction Horizon and Comic Basics. He also has a YouTube channel in his native language, and the content there is mostly reviewing popular movies and TV shows. Lukas also has an Instagram page where he once used to post fan-made posters he made, which is something he would like to continue working on, as photo and video editing are also some of his passions. Lukas is a big movie lover who is okay with watching any kind of movie. His favorite movie is Michael Curtiz's Casablanca, but he's a loyal follower of Marvel and DC movies, as well as several other blockbuster franchises he's been following for years; Star Wars, Fast & Furious, Mission: Impossible, and James Cameron's Avatar are only some of them. His favorite director is Christopher Nolan, with Quentin Tarantino and Denis Villeneuve as honorable mentions. Lukas is also a big fan of four fantasy multimedia franchises; The Wizarding World, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Witcher, and The Lord of the Rings. He calls them "the four rulers of the fantasy genre." He loves to write about anything spawned from those franchises (books, games, movies...), as well as anything branded with the Marvel or DC logo. Video games and their adaptations are also something he follows faithfully since he's a big fan of story-driven single-player games like Assassin's Creed, The Last of Us, Uncharted, etc. His favorite video game ever is Red Dead Redemption 2.
