Until, in the third act, it turns out that the Riddler’s big finale is to flood the entire city of Gotham, basically creating a New York City sized Hurricane Katrina disaster for his hometown.

At the very least, the character the Riddler is a heightened version of the very real anger that people feel.
BATMAN ENEMIES POLITICANS MOVIE
I’m not condoning murder, but the Riddler seems pretty right to be upset about these people and the movie shows that he’s a clever villain with a clear message. To show the people of Gotham the crimes of these corrupt politicians, Dano begins elaborately murdering them, or worse, forcing them to publicly confess on social media. In The Batman, the main villain of the movie is the Riddler, played by Paul Dano as a sort of “what if Jigsaw watched too much breadtube?” The Riddler’s main complaint about Gotham is that the rich and powerful don’t care about poor people, who are left to suffer, and that funding meant to help people has instead been lining the pockets of corrupt police and politicians for twenty years. Superhero movies love to have villains who are absolutely correct in their convictions until the movie remembers that they have to be the villain, so they randomly do something that makes no sense. But there’s one thing I found frustrating about the movie, and it’s something I’ve been noticing a lot in superhero movies and TV shows. One of the better superhero movies in recent years, if you ask me.

I watched The Batman this weekend and enjoyed it it’s too long, but it has cool visuals, a fun detectivey Batman, emo Bruce Wayne, and a lot of talk about posting online. Instead, press ctrl-A, and then ctrl-C, and then open up chats with all of your friends who have seen the movie (and enemies who haven’t) and press ctrl-V and then Enter. If you don’t want to read spoilers for The Batman, don’t read this article. Heads up, this is going to majorly spoil the very recent movie The Batman.
