Hope, inspiration, and aspiration. Superheroes are not just fictional characters, they are symbols of hope, inspiration, and aspiration. They represent the very best of humanity and embody the qualities that we all strive for bravery, selflessness, determination, and justice.
Matt Reeves’ The Batman is symbolically dense, exploring themes of vengeance, class, and violence while helming a noir detective story. This is, of course, not the first time that a Batmanlive-action or comic storyline has delved into these threads, but The Batman etches a much grimmer, realistic portrait of Gotham, which is as socio-politically divided as ever. As Batman/Bruce (Robert Pattinson) is only a fledgling vigilante in the film, the true nature of the impact of his actions is gradually unraveled to him over the course of the narrative.
