From Matt Reeves’ razor-sharp direction to the cast’s performances to Michael Giacchino’s astounding musical score, The Batman has been praised for many things. There’s also been one major criticism – that the three-hour runtime is excessive – but the movie is so immersive and atmospheric that it’s easy to get swept up and let those three hours fly by. This atmosphere was achieved with a combination of Reeves’ distinctive vision of the Bat mythos and cinematographer Greig Fraser’s ability to realize that vision on film.
