***POSSIBLE MINOR SPOILERS BELOW***
I got invited to a screening of The Batman last Friday.
This is a movie I have been waiting to see for a long time.
And it's a long one...three hours!

This is Batman in his second year of existence.
While Batman's not the polished fighter we all know him to be, he's still pretty intimidating.
The Gotham Police Department don't really trust him and some criminals fear him, while others think he's a joke.
Someone known as The Riddler has begun terrorizing Gotham and it's up to Batman and Jim Gordon to stop him.
Let's get to my review.
How are the actors?
Robert Pattinson plays Bruce Wayne/Batman and Zoe Kravitz plays Selina Kyle/Catwoman.
They are both really good.
The fights look great and they have natural chemistry together.
Is this movie worth the wait?
YES!
If you're unsure how Pattinson is going to do, don't be. He's an awesome Batman.
My favorite thing about this movie is that Batman gets to be a detective more than a superhero.
Is it really three hours long?
Yep.
I kept waiting for a slow scene so I could go visit the bathroom, but there isn't one minute that's wasted.
Is there a scene after the credits?
Yes, at the very end.
Is it worth sitting through the whole end credits?
Maybe.
At one point in the film, Batman uses a computer. The end-credit scene has a similar computer prompt pop-up followed by a quick glimpse of a URL.
That URL leads to THIS.
Go see this movie!
I loved it...and the Batmobile is cool!
The Batman is in theaters this Friday.
