Here are 5 reasons why fans are loving The Batman: 

spoiler alert

1. ZOE KRAVITZ AS CATWOMAN 

Zoe Kravitz's potrayal of Selina Kyle, also known as Catwoman is being praised far and wide.  Zoe's Selina held her own ground during the movie and was able to re-create the orginal Batman and Catwoman tension in the comic books, on screen.

One fan on Twitter said, "Batman better than me. Gotham city fighting its own crimes if she staring at me like this.' 

While another said, "if i was batman i would’ve followed her at the end". 

2. THE POTRAYAL OF GOTHAM CITY 

Fans of the DCEU were glad to see Gotham city in The Batman being potrayed exactly as it is described in the comic books, instead of being a rip-off cities like Chicago. The Wayne Tower and the diner in one of the final scenes of the movie are being widely appreciated on Twitter.

A fan perfectly summed up what the internet was feeling and wrote, "still can't believe THE BATMAN really had the best looking Gotham City, literally the exact I've envisioned it."

If you've watched the movie, you know what ending scene we are talking about. If you haven't, let's just say you may have a major Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice flashback. The scene was able to really highlight Batman's effect on the people of Gotham, even though he has constantly been criticised for being a masked vigilante in the movie. 

One user on Twitter described the scene as, "no other batman film has had a scene this impactful."

Meanwhile, another added, "One of the best and most inspiring moments in any #Batman film - and it’s pure, comic book Batman. It was perfect."

5. AND LASTLY, ROBERT PATTINSON 

Robert's Bruce Wayne, also known as Batman was the perfect mix of goth attitude, detective skills and danger. The internet cannot seem to find a fault in his potrayal of the iconic character. Fans are calling Robert as their favourite Batman of all time:

Many have been praising Robert's acting skills. One fan wrote on Twitter, "God the way This Batman show so much emotion with his eyes is so menacing I love it."

And some of have said that based on how accurate Robert's potrayal was, it would be nearly impossible to reboot the franchise anytime soon. 

Ultimately, this is exactly how all viewers have felt after watching Robert as Batman on screen:

and we don't blame them!
