The Batman. Publicité France. 2022. Var Matin.
Today I went to see the film The Batman. Again. This is my second viewing, and it allowed me time to focus more on some of the many details I loved in the headrush-mind-blown-euphoria of my first viewing… like… just how awesome is every nuance of the soundtrack (Michael Giacchino for an upcoming Oscar anyone?); how hypnotic is the cinematography in its scale and lighting; how much creepier (and excellent acting kudos once again to Paul Dano) is The Riddler? The Batmobile car chase scene… Selina Kyle… The Nightclub scenes…
Bah. I could be a fanboy all day about this movie and bore you to bat tears (fair warning: I’m hoping to see it a third time before it exits the cinemas here). Instead, I’ll leave you with a couple of French publicity items I found – which have been a bit thin on the ground here since the pandemic in terms of the free goodies I usually pick up. As a bonus, I’ll make a quick rummage through my Batman archives to present some wonderful toy and advert images you may have missed last time around.
If you haven’t seen The Batman yet, what are you waiting for? Hurry.

I’m the biggest sucker for anything Batman related! I do prefer the ’66 character best, an especially the toys as that’s what I grew up with. Really looking forward to catching the film. 🙂

The original Batman will always be a fave for me too as he’s the one I grew up with… plus, as you mention the toys back then by Corgi were the best. I have a few of the 2000s-era Corgi Batmobiles, and while they’re cool they’re nothing like the originals.
Yep, do catch the film when you can, it’s just so good! Can’t wait for the home release!

That sounds brilliant. I want to get round to seeing the Batman again as well! Love those Bat adverts as well, especially for the old corgi toys, those were my favourites as a kid!
