"The Batman" is an unexpected masterpiece

I’ll get right to the point. “The Batman” is hands-down the best film about the character that has been made so far. Yes, as a die-hard fan of the Christopher Nolan films, it is difficult for me to write this. But director Matt Reeves knocked it out of the park, the city, and the entire state when he made this movie.

I grew up in 50s/60s and never got into comic books - just too boring.

I was a gifted athlete in many sports, a straight-A student and a Christian at 9.

Not a movie buff but “2001” is one of my all time favorites.

Conversely, the “star wars/star trek” junk is comic books for adults that never matured from childhood.

I have still never seen any Star Wars movie.

And while I did see the original Star Trek 1960s TV show as a kid (as well as the campy Batman series), I've not seen them since.

I think the "Trekkie" phenomenon is rather sad. Their conventions are mostly unmarried men who still live with their moms. I know this because I had some co-workers who were Trekkies and they fit the profile to a tee.

Here is a Classic SNL skit regarding Star Trek.

Would she have said the same thing about Robinson Crusoe?

Probably would have said the same for Beowulf or heck, the tale of Gilgamesh
