PicturesPopular YouTuber Ludwig hit back at critics who roasted his The Batman review. The streamer responded to the viral backlash with more criticism of Robert Pattinson\u2019s take on the caped crusader. The former Twitch star kicked off a firestorm on March 6 when he criticized the 2022 film The Batman as not being \u201cfun\u201d like Marvel movies. Following the wave of backlash from viewers, Ludwig Ahgren opened up further about his problems with the movie and defended his review. Ludwig doubles down on The Batman criticism In a video uploaded to his YouTube channel, the 26-year-old streamer further opened up about his criticisms of Matt Reeves\u2019 The Batman. \u201cCan I just speak my s**t? The Batman movie WAS mid,\u201d he said. \u201cAll superhero movies ARE mid. Hollywood already solved Batman over a decade ago. The Dark Knight is already the greatest Batman movie of all time.\u201d Ahgren then claimed that Batman films in general have become recycled. \u201cBecause it sells tickets if they have the man who\u2019s afraid of bats under the suit, they just keep remaking them! That\u2019s all it is. I feel like people think we have solved all cinema. We have solved all characters as a humanity. We\u2019re done. We\u2019ve peaked. Batman is the greatest. But I feel like that s**t was written 80 years ago and we should probably move on and come up with some new s**t.\u201d While Ludwig called The Batman a \u201cfine\u201d film, he doubled down on his now-viral take. \u201cLook, it\u2019s fine. It\u2019s even a top 5 Batman movie. But it was just not amazing,\u201d he said. \u201cI don\u2019t think we\u2019ve had any superhero film be groundbreaking. The Batman was basically just the movie Seven with Brad Pitt with a worst mystery and a worse payoff. It was just setting up what is probably going to be another goddamn trilogy of goddamn Batman movies.\u201d Ludwig continued his critique by slamming Batman\u2019s storyline as being underwhelming. \u201cThe mystery plot BLEW. I\u2019m just like this is the most mid-ass mystery of all time. The Dark Knight had more mystery. The Riddler\u2019s riddles SUCKED!\u201d Read More: How to watch The Streamer Awards on Twitch &#8211; The YouTuber addressed Robert Pattinson\u2019s take on the iconic comic hero. \u201cRobert Pattinson was wasted. He\u2019s a great actor. But he was wasted because most of the scenes he was in were just as Batman. Critics would say but you can see the emotions in his eyes. He has such emotion. And I\u2019m like, b**ch no way, he\u2019s just looking!\u201d Ahgren ended his rant by explaining his review was misunderstood. \u201cMy take got whittled down that I just wanted it to be like MCU one-liners, jokey jokey. When I more so thought it would be fun to unravel the mystery. But the villain just SUCKED. All of the villains were just dogs**t and were boring,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ludwig doubles down on controversial The Batman take: \u201cAll superhero movies are mid\u201d YouTube: Mogul Mail \/ DC \/ Warner Bros.
