Fans were always going to flock to theaters to watch Matt Reeves' The Batman. The Robert Pattinson-led film, which is set in its cinematic universe outside of the DCEU, has given all the right signals to be one for the ages. But, while audiences have typically been huge fans of the caped crusader in theaters, it appears that The Batman is focusing on making sure that it's not just a good film, but one of the best of all time.
According to AMC Theaters, "any movie with the AMC Artisan Films seal is an artist-driven film that advances the art of making movies." So far, only one comic book movie has gotten the honor of such a seal. Ironically, the said movie is 2019's Joker, which, you guessed it, stars Batman's arch-nemesis, Joker, in an origin story where he is portrayed by Joaquin Phoenix. Although there's no word yet if 2019's Joker and Matt Reeves' The Batman are connected, the two will forever be intertwined like their titular characters because of the AMC Artisan Films seal.
As explained by the film's official page on AMC Theaters, The Batman has a "captivating film score" that helps set the mood for a "very suspenseful cinematic experience." The recommendation adds that the film features a "delicious cast of character performances", including "Paul Dano as the haunting yet captivating serial killer."
