TheBatman brings horniness back to Gotham City. roxana_hadadi writes
Photo: Warner Bros. Pictures We live in a curiously sexless cinematic time, which is probably tied to the fact that we live in a dominated-by-superheroes cinematic time. When nearly every American blockbuster needs to be rated PG-13 for maximum four-quadrant potential, it’s hard to work in any horniness.
Within the MCU, the Avengers are defined either by romantic longing , established relationships , or one guy being an asshole .
All of that brings us to Reeves’s The Batman, which positions Pattinson’s Wayne as a man who can only process the world around him from a certain distance. The defensive armor of his Batsuit and the recording contacts that he slips onto his eyes as a form of surveillance keep the self-described “nocturnal animal” at a remove from both his prey and his allies.
Kyle tells Batman he assumes “the worst in people.” But both Kravitz’s and Pattinson’s performances — hers brazen and unapologetic, his constrained and repressed — make clear that their characters are tempted by cynicism, not defined by it. This shared understanding drives the film’s climactic finale, when each saves the other during an army of Riddler copycats’ infiltration of Gotham Square Garden.
