Look, I can’t believe it but here we are talking about a DC Comics production two weeks in a row.
"Peacemaker" wasn’t just good, it was perfect and I can’t wait to rewatch the series, but "Peacemaker" is not the only DC character making headlines as "The Batman" begins to astonish critics and fans alike.
With a current score of 85% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, it is clear that this pulp noir film is not only fresh in the eyes of fans and critics, but it is also a new direction that the superhero genre of film has not been exposed to in quite a long time, yes the genre has seen three hour long epics, but when is the last time you’ve seen a superhero film packaged as a detective mystery?
That's where the appeal of "The Batman" comes in. Despite the three hour run time seeming like a major commitment, people that I’ve talked to, Batman fans and casual film goers all say how fast it goes by, how beautiful the visuals are, and how the plot grips you up until the last second before exploding into a third act that is as stressful for the viewers to watch as it is for Batman to fight through.
With the release of "Spider-Man: No Way Home" in December, "Peacemaker", "The Batman" and future films such as "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness", "Black Adam", and "The Flash", it is so exciting to see where the genre of superhero films will go.
This lineup of movies seems so diverse and fresh and "The Batman" definitely feels fresh with its detective crime solving feel.

I had no idea this Batman was leaning so hard into detective noir—three hours feels way less daunting when it's actually doing something fresh with the genre instead of just another origin story. If you're ever looking for something completely different to kill time between these long superhero flicks, my friend sent me Scritchy Scratchy the other day, which is this weirdly addictive browser scratch-card game with all these layers of automation and prestige systems. Not exactly cape-and-cowl material, but it's surprisingly deep for what it is.

Okay, I’ll admit I was skeptical about a three-hour Batman, but you’re totally right—it flew by. The detective angle was such a refreshing change of pace from the usual "world-ending threat" plot, and that third act was genuinely tense. On a related note, the way this film rewards you for paying attention to small details reminds me of how I approach "krillion io" every day; it’s all about catching those subtle clues to get a perfect score. It’s cool to see different media challenging audiences to be more observant these days.
