Ok so The Batman has one of my favourite opening half hours in a comic book movie ever.
That's some high praise and you only have to look at some of the opening scenes in The Dark Knight trilogy to know that Reeves had very some steep competition.
Christopher Nolan was an expert at introducing the villains and though Reeves does that brilliantly with the Riddler too, the scene in which he brings in his version of Batman is a whole nother level.
But why is it so captivating and what does the director do to give us the best introduction to Batman that we've ever had?
Well that's what we're gonna be breaking down in this video so hold onto your batts, hit that thumbs up batton and make sure you subscribe for videos like this every day.
With that out the way, I'm your host Paul aka the guy who's bat to the bone, now let's get into the breakdown.
Ok so after we watch the horrifying scene in which The Riddler murders the Mayor in his own home we cut to the cityscape of Gotham to see the cesspool that it's devolved into. Criminals occupy every corner and we very much get the impression that they've used the night as a weapon for decades in order to terrorise the good people of the city.
Darkness clouds the entire landscape but this is cracked open by the bat signal which pearces the skyline. After Gordon activates it we see it cuts through the clouds and hovers over the landscape, standing as a beacon in the darkness. This is where we hear Bruce's voice come over the top of the scene and here he introduces us to the city.
Narration is something that's often used in films to set the tone and it's a staple that's appeared in several detective noir stories. Through it we very much get Bruce's inner thoughts and how he sees not only Gotham but also The Batman.
It's a very effective technique and it was used expertly in Frank Millers Dark Knight Returns before he brought it over to Batman Year One. We even get a shot in the introduction where we catch Bruce in civilian clothes walking through a crowd of people and this is very much taken from Year One when he went out on his first night downtown.
