The choice entry locked and loaded is EP 104: "THE BATMAN" (2022) - A BRUTAL REVIEW!
Did writer/director MATT REEVES believe in his project, or did he just see a rerun of SAW while listening to somebody's sad-girl cover of Smells Like Teen Spirit? Nate thinks the latter! Why did Nate choose to revisit this movie that, as is tattooed above his navel, he really did not like?
BECAUSE IT’S THE FILM THAT UNHINGED HIM!

A Garbage Positive Review of THE BATMAN (2022) as Presented to Us by AI:
In 2022, director Matt Reeves presented audiences with a fresh and dark take on the iconic superhero in "The Batman." This film dives deep into the complex psyche of Bruce Wayne, portrayed by Robert Pattinson, as he navigates both his identity as Batman and his personal demons. Set in Gotham City, which is plagued by corruption and criminality, Batman finds himself facing off against a mysterious serial killer known as the Riddler, played brilliantly by Paul Dano. The Riddler's cryptic messages challenge Batman both intellectually and emotionally, pushing him to his limits as he races against time to unravel the criminal's twisted motives.
The gritty and atmospheric tone of "The Batman" sets it apart from previous interpretations of the caped crusader, offering a noir-inspired visual aesthetic that immerses the audience in a bleak and dangerous world. The stellar performances by the cast, including Zoe Kravitz as Selina Kyle/Catwoman and Jeffrey Wright as Commissioner Jim Gordon, further elevate the film and add layers of depth to the narrative. As Batman delves deeper into the Riddler's plot, he uncovers long-buried secrets that force him to confront the blurred lines between justice and vengeance, ultimately challenging his moral code and pushing him to redefine his role as the Dark Knight.
Overall, "The Batman" captivates viewers with its gripping storytelling, stunning cinematography, and intense action sequences. Through its exploration of Batman's internal struggles and external battles, the film offers a nuanced and compelling portrayal of one of the most beloved superheroes in pop culture. With its blend of psychological depth, thrilling suspense, and dynamic character dynamics, "The Batman" stands out as a modern classic that redefines the superhero genre and leaves a lasting impact on audiences long after the credits roll.
