Directed by Matt Reeves

Genre: action, crime drama

So, in this movie we follow a young woman at a difficult time in her life. She’s struggling with money, her friend is sick, and she’s surrounded by creeps all day.

But then everything changes when she meets an eccentric billionaire with a dark secret. A man that she has an awkward first meeting with, which then leads to that man stalking her, but eventually then end up working together.

The young woman starts to notice some odd things about this billionaire. He seems very controlling. Telling her exactly what to say and do, being very blunt and forceful, and using his wealth and privilege to get out of any dangerous situations.

We learns some things about this billionaire. He only seems to have one friend. This older man that plays the role of a father figure. But more importantly, we learn about this man’s dark secret. You see, he has a secret room in his house. In this room, he dresses in black leather and likes to inflect pain on others. We also learn that he carries a lot of trauma inside him, and he refuses to get any help with his issues.

Now, this young woman is a little hesitant to keep working with this billionaire. She has her own goals and plans. But soon enough, she learns that she has no control over her life. She has no choice, but to follow the plans of this billionaire. And they get into many dangerous situations together, several of which involve two people lying on top of each other, breathing heavily.

But, after the climax of the film, this young woman finally makes a decision for herself. She decides to leave this city, and leave the billionaire. After a painful goodbye, the young woman and the billionaire part ways, sharing one final meaningful glance.

Alright! So, that was my review of The Batman. I did find it strange how so much of this movie was familiar… What was the last movie I reviewed?

…Wait a minute…

This is just 50 Shades of Gray again!

I was tricked! The entire movie industry tricked me into watching 50 Shades of Gray again! Damn it!

Hang on. 50 Shades of Gray was based on Twilight fan fiction. And who plays Edward in Twilight? Robert Pattinson! This was a bit elaborate trick! Someone in Hollywood was playing the long game.

In all seriousness, this movie was okay. But I was really disappointed with the quality of the riddles from the Riddler. They were all super obvious and not very clever.
