The Batman: Ranking The Action Scenes From Worst To Best
6. The Batman Versus The Riddler's Henchmen
The movie has a simple answer on how supervillains get their henchmen. The answer is that crazy attracts crazy, and as long as the supervillain is a charismatic video streamer, he will have his followers. This fight is about Batman versus the modern evils of our times - internet conspiracy theorists with guns.
Despite Batman’s formidable fighting prowess, he is still human. So he can barely keep up with their numbers and with their guns. The appeal of this fight is seeing Batman trying to get back up, again and again, no matter how much abuse he gets, and no matter how many gunshots he receives. There is even a part where one goon hits him at point-blank range with a shotgun.
There is only so much Batman can withstand. When he thinks it is all over, he is lying on the ground ready for a well-earned rest. Only for Batman to inject himself with what looks like adrenaline or venom and goes into rage mode to the stupid person who tries to do something with Selina in front of him.
By the time the fight ends, we are just as exhausted as Batman.
