Is Robert Patterson THEE WORST Batman in History?
“The Batman” starring Robert Patterson as Bruce Wayne defends the city of Gotham against the Riddler’s gruesome and puzzling sequences of attacks while discovering new information about his family, city officials, and also himself. (Note: there are definite spoilers!)
Now I don’t think Robert Patterson was horrible, but Zoe Kravitz was definitely the star of the film. One thing I will say that made me scrunch my brows is the fact that she is Catwoman, gorgeous and acrobatically skilled. She’s this bad ass queen but is getting over powered by all of these older men. I’m not buying it, I blame the writers.
Robert Patterson wasn’t very menacing in my opinion. He was kinda quiet, borderline sheepish, and maintained an acrimonious and anxiety ridden energy. It’s only frightening because of what the bat suit is capable of. He stood right in front of the hostage with a bomb choker, survived an explosion, but somehow didn’t become twins with two faced? He took so long to discover he was the rat with wings. It was clear as day in his face. He wasted all of that time trying to solve the puzzle, he could’ve saved Alfred by then. Patterson just didn’t do it for me quite frankly.
