HBO's 8-Part Gangster Crime Drama Completely Changes How You Watch 'The Batman'

Comments

1. Milabrar: penguin was definitely the best part of that movie anyway so i'm not mad about this
2. Wraith Beacon: actually changes nothing about my viewing experience, just shows how desperate fans are for more bat-verse content
3. Noraokafor: first episode's subtle tweak on the penguin's role is actually pretty genius
4. Neon Talon: totally getting why a single episode changes everything for you, but 8 episodes worth of gangster drama? that's some serious narrative muscle to overcome
5. Lunar Corvid: I've rewatched The Batman and all I can say is, what a drastic departure from my memory of the Penguin's character. Now it makes total sense how Pattinson's
6. Ashen Sable: kinda gets my attention for an HBO spinoff but not enough to revisit batman after this rewatch
7. Nina: first I thought Reeves was trying to pack too much into this story, but the Penguin's reveal really redeems everything
8. Echo Mantis: I was thinking the whole penguin subplot felt like a stretch the first time around, but actually really adds to it now that i rewatched
9. Zoewexxo: finally a reason to rewatch this mess – did it actually work or no?
10. Sofia: Matt Reeves' take on Gotham is always going to be subjective but adding a Penguin-centric narrative from the start completely throws off the tone
11. Solar Specter: it completely flips the script on Batman's Gotham City doesn't it?
12. Solar Warden: i'm so invested in the characters now that The Penguin's storyline is making me reevaluate everything
13. Static Nova: rewatching batman after what he did to penguin in one episode is a whole other story now
14. Falkmilan: how does one episode fundamentally alter the entire movie's viewing experience?
15. Milan: haven't rewatched Batman that closely to see how one character can shift everything like that. How did the Penguin's introduction change your perspective on the whole story?
