Martin (John Amplas), a young man who looks around 20-years-old, boards a train in Indianapolis, Indiana for New York. At night, he breaks into a sleeping car and sedates a woman with a syringe full of narcotics. She struggles, but he tells her not to struggle or be upset because she wont feel pain. After a few minutes, the woman falls asleep, and Martin has sex with the unconscious woman. Afterwards, he slices her wrists with a razor blade so he can drink her blood. The woman bleeds to death in her sleep.
In the morning, the train stops in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where Martin disembarks. He is met by Tata Cuda (Lincoln Maazel) an elderly and hostile old man who claims to be his cousin from the Old World. Together, they travel by another train to the town of Braddock, a dying industrial suburb. They walk to Cuda's large house where he shows Martin his living quarters. Cuda then accuses Martin of being an 84-year-old vampire from his old country. He has taken in Martin because he is family, but tells him, "First I will save your soul. Then I shall destroy you." Martin denies being a vampire and implies that Cuda is merely his uncle rather than his cousin. Cuda then puts up strings of garlic on the doors to his and his granddaughter's room, and then holds up a small cross when Martin approaches him. Martin takes away the cross, and even takes a bite of the garlic mocking these attempts by saying bitterly, "There's no real magic... ever". Cuda tells Martin that he can come and go as he pleases. But he also warns Martin that he will kill him if he kills anyone in Braddock. He also tells Martin to stay away from his granddaughter Christine (Christine Forrest), whom arrives home from her job that evening.
Cuda introduces Christine to Martin, but also warns her to stay away from him. But Christine instead strikes up a friendship with Martin who confides in her about his vampire heritage. When Cuda later confirms Martin's claims to be a vampire, Christine, not surprisingly, refuses to believe either one. She thinks that Cuda and the other members of her family have driven Martin to insanity by making him think that he is a vampire. It is never revealed if Martin really is a vampire, or just a shy and lonely youth with troubled issues. Christine is the only person that Martin gets the courage to talk to. When Christine's boyfriend Arthur (Tom Savini) arrives at the house for dinner, Martin stops talking and backs away despite Arthur's attempt at a conversation. Christine later confides in Martin that she hopes to leave Braddock someday with Arthur, even though Martin points out that Arthur treats her badly and is both verbally and physically abusive towards her.
When Christine sees that Martin won't talk to anyone else, she buys him a phone which he installs in his room. Martin begins to repeatingly call a radio talk show where he describes what it's like to be a vampire. He becomes known on the radio as "the Count" to all the listeners. But the patronizing host (Michael Gornick) thinks he's just crazy.
Martin gets a job at Cuda's grocery store of stocking shelves, hauling boxes around, and even gets to be a delivery boy for some of the customers. One of his customers is a certain Abby Santini (Elyane Nadeau), who becomes taken in with Martin. She is a very friendly young woman who is depressed when she tells Martin that her husband is unfaithful. But Martin still does not have the nerve to talk with her, so she is happy to have someone to confide in with her life problems. Martin phones the radio show host to describe his infatuation with the housewife and senses that she wants to have sex with him. When the radio show host asks Martin if it is a sexual problem that he has involving women criticizing him during sex, Martin replies that he has never had sex with a woman who was awake.
One day, Martin travels by train to outside Braddock to look for victims. At a supermarket, he follows a young woman (Sarah Venable) home to her posh suburban house. He sees the woman's husband (Richard Rubenstein) leave for a long business trip, and Martin decides this would be the right time for more feeding. Martin returns to the house after dark and breaks in through the garage door. But it is Martin who gets the surprise when he bursts into her bedroom to find her in bed with her adulterous lover Lewis (Al Levitsky). After a vicious struggle, Martin jabs both of them with hyprodermic needles with narcotics, and waits for the drugs to take affect. He drags the unconscious body of Lewis from the house to a clump of trees across the street where he kills him by shoving a broken tree branch into his neck and drinks his blood. Martin returns to the house where he has sex with the unconscious woman. But out of compassion and pity, he decides to let her live.
Martin begins to have romantic monochrome visions of his vampire past (real or imagined), where he drained blood from a young woman and was chased through the streets of a nameless European town by a torch-lit mob.
During one Sunday at church, Cuda brings home Father Howard (George A. Romero) who asks him about the possibility of exorcism and demon possession. Father Howard calls upon the elderly Father Zulemans (Clifford Forrest, Jr.) over at Cuda's request. Together, Cuda and Zulemans confront Martin his bedroom and attempt to perform an exorcism on him. At this point, Martin remembers (another real or imaginary flashback), in the Old Country of people trying to perform an exorcism on him, and he flees them. Martin then flees from Cuda and Zuelmas as well. A little later that night, Martin terrorizes Cuda in a children's playground when he puts on a Dracula cape and puts false fangs into his mouth to pretend that he really is a vampire.
One day, Martin finally musters the courage to talk with Mrs. Santini during a routine delivery to her house where he tells her that he's aware of her attempts to seduce him and wants now to have sex with her. After having sex for the first time, Mrs. Santini becomes more depressed for she tells Martin that her husband just left her because she discovered that she cannot bear children, and that her desires towards him are based on sex and nothing else. But Martin wants to stay with her and help her move on with her life. Martin tells the radio show host about his affair with the housewife and that he no longer has the urge to attack other women.
Meanwhile, Arthur meets with Cuda and tells him that he wants Christine to leave town with him so they can get married and start a family. But Christine becomes angry at Cuda when he tells Arthur that insanity runs in their family and he shouldn't consider having children with her. Shortly afterwards, Christine packs up and leaves Braddock for New York with Arthur despite Martin telling her that Arthur is abusive towards her. But her mind is made up. Before leaving, Christine tells Martin that she really has no ill feelings towards him and just wants to make a fresh start with her life. She says goodbye to him and promises to write. But Martin knows that with an abusive and possessive man in Christine's life, she probably won't.
Depressed over losing his one true friend, Martin phones the radio show host and tells him that he's getting "shaky" and wants to go out looking for more victims. That night, Martin travels to a rough crime-ridden area of Pittsburgh and attacks two derelicts in a alley, injecting them with narcotics. He kills one of them by silting the bum's wrist and drinking his blood. Martin is about to kill the second one when a police car shows up and gives chase. Martin narrowly escapes during a long chase on foot which leads from the garbage strew streets and through a local store. Martin runs into an old warehouse where a drug deal is going down. A shootout between the two cops and the three thugs begins where all of them are killed, leaving Martin as the sole survivor who casually walks away from the carnage.
One day, Martin finds Mrs. Santini dead in her bathtub, after she had slit her writs with a razor blade. Martin anonymously calls the police to report the body and leaves. He phones the radio show host one final time to say that he really doesn't need friends or people to talk to for he is his own person. But when Cuda learns about Mrs. Santini's suicide, is mistakenly thinks Martin killed her and made it look like a suicide as he's done before. Cuda walks into Martin's room while he is asleep and kills him by hammering a wooden stake through Martin's heart.
Cuda buries Martin's body in his back garden, while over the closing credits various voices from people are heard talking to the radio show host asking the whereabouts of "the Count".
重启的这部变成侦探片我是没想到的，另外没想到的还有这部片莫名其妙出现的感情戏。整个第三幕的设计让我有点不懂，围绕蝙蝠侠的危机铺陈没有到让观众觉得这是千钧一发的时刻。
值五星了。一次非常精彩的重启之作，马特·里夫斯将这部蝙蝠侠电影变成了一部侦探悬疑片，将哥谭市变成了一个具有原罪的城市，没有人是清白无辜的，哪怕是蝙蝠侠的家族。我觉得这部影片相比《小丑》更大胆的一个设定就是把韦恩家族也变成了一个资本原罪的象征，托马斯·韦恩也难免被哥谭市的黑暗吞噬。所以蝙蝠侠的正义并非为了父亲和家族，只是为了自己避免被黑暗吞噬，避免他被那个黑色的面具变成一个黑暗骑士。这是一次非常大胆的改编。事实证明一个蝙蝠侠就可以吊打一众超英。
视听风格突出到太文艺片，音响效果能把座椅震动成4D，蝙蝠侠不愧是年轻版，还拥有记日记的好习惯。 GOOD BYE〈 ？〉，无论是先出新《猫女》电影，或者出《蝙蝠侠与猫女》，我都可以！谜语人杀疯了，把谜语人塑造成了DC宇宙又一可敬的反派。
DC在暗黑化漫改的路上走的越来越远了，但无论换多少次演员和主创，一直在复刻诺兰和扎导奠定的苦大仇深神经病路线，这样是可以和漫威那种合家欢游乐园区分开，却陷入了另一个极端，一直努力告诉观众我可以多酷，但忘记了我也可以多无聊。
好看得要死！！才看了10分钟我就开始后悔，为什么当时自己不排除万难去电影院里看！呜呜呜新冠病毒你还我电影院啊！真没想到罗伯特演的百特曼可以这么迷人！高大却脆弱，强壮却疲惫，明明是那个唯一能拯救所有人的人，却又是那个最渴望被别人拯救的人。这该死的矛盾感，永远能戳中我。构图布局打光镜头配乐独白，everything我都爱。这也是我第一次觉得哥谭在如此肮脏黑暗的同时，也美得惊人。笼罩一切的雨夜，俯瞰城市的黄昏，行色匆匆的人们，灯火通明的高楼。别说布鲁斯，就连我都对这里有些念念不舍了。这一版的猫女和谜语人我也好喜欢，前者危险又果断，后者真实得有趣。一定要给爷拍第二部啊，我要去电影院里看！
这是一个资产阶级下的忧郁冷酷的硬汉侦探蝙蝠侠逐渐成长为一个舍己救人为哥谭人民服务的无产阶级雷锋的故事。导演表示，要拍黑色侦探电影，先得学《七宗罪》给它下雨，对，潮湿起来，阴郁起来。然后安排上《教父》里的意大利黑帮，bravo，意大利口音学起来，夜总会舞起来。然后小道具《电锯惊魂》里的口塞可以戴上。惊天大阴谋嘛《洛城机密》可以安排上，还不够?《搏击俱乐部》再补上。至于风格嘛，就得慢!人物慢慢动，镜头慢慢走，对话也得慢慢讲，按0.75倍速拍，看谁还敢1 .5倍刷视频，憋不死你们!最后别忘了ZZ正确，猫女，戈登警长，女市长，好人全得是少数族群，坏人嘛，肯定得清一色白人。坏了，蝙蝠侠还是白的，算了，让他涂黑脸吧，发扬下好莱坞的老传统。
太熟悉之前那两部猩球崛起电影，看前对本片可能存在的优缺点已有大致的预料。私心自然还是期望马特·里弗斯能带来一些说不上蜕变也能让人惊喜的东西，但依然还是没学会去扬长避短，持续依托直白的台词独白来渲染氛围和表达人物情感，无力施展影像本身的魅力，文本上也不做必要的减法。走出了上一代蝙蝠侠的阴影，可没能很深入地走进这一版主人公的内心世界，整体只能说功过相抵吧，的确让人愈发怀念诺兰时代的黑暗骑士。
AMC 13. 清晨八点场. 文艺片. 大家戴着口罩遮住下半张脸看屏幕里的蝙蝠侠遮着上半张脸。
整体气质还不错，连带着演技不咋地的男主演都瞬间变帅了好多。但175分钟大可不必，文戏出彩的地方几乎找不到，武戏倒是尚可一看。可能我真的吃不惯蝙蝠侠这种苦大仇深的超级英雄，男主一直压低嗓子说话的劲头听的我昏昏欲睡，反倒是正面亮相不多的反派保罗.达诺让我更为印象深刻。
太好看了，完完全全戳中我的各种审美点，性感，文艺，黑暗，现代，酷…爱了，这样的电影是配得起蝙蝠侠作为DC一哥的身份的。导演说在写剧本的时候，是听着涅槃的something in the way来写的，并且在塑造这一版的老爷的时候，也从柯本身上得到了灵感，所以我们看到这版老爷，虽然只是出道第二年，但已经具有一种隐士风格，而非花花公子作风。电影也回归到了蝙蝠侠作为一名侦探的本位中（蝙蝠侠亮相的漫画就叫侦探漫画），电影中的侦探悬疑风格非常抓人，很有自己的特色，配上电影院的音响，真的迷人，片中谜语人和猫女的塑造也非常抢眼，这种电影一定要去电影院看，超视觉盛宴。
真是我看过的最搞不定的老爷。但怎么讲，又有点像身处这个战争疫情时代的我们，对着天灾人祸，时常愤怒经常困惑天天emo，但仍要咬着牙，举着火把于黑暗中跋涉。道阻且长，溯游从之。
人人都想摘掉蝙蝠侠的面具，面具下可能是满脸伤疤。他们呐喊着重振哥谭的口号，每句口号或许都是谎言。令你恐惧的从不是死亡，而是再次经历失去至亲的感受。令你胆寒的并不止谎言，而是竟与谜语人携手毁灭哥谭。你是住在别墅里的孤儿，陷在痛苦中的英雄，你与那个丧父的孩子对视，原来痛苦从不曾消失。
蝙蝠侠在剧情上起不到任何作用，有他谜语人照样炸堤坝，意义是啥？
好柔软……好青涩……有一百个同人文想法因为过于变态不能发出来。
4.老奶的裹脚布又臭又长
跟《猩球崛起》第三部风格很像，宗教救赎感很像，也跟动画《黑暗骑士归来》很像，看来导演是下定决心要回归漫画原著了。彩蛋是真的坑。
这是我第一次看到有导演意识到Bruce需要涂眼影来遮住眼部轮廓😂可既然都这么在乎不被人看穿面具底下的真面目了，为什么还要露下巴呢？敌人还真就一枪都打不着蝙蝠侠的钢铁下巴，当面炸都没事啊！话说回来，这个故事真的和蝙蝠侠有关系吗？热评里说这部拍出来伯顿的风格？伯顿的两部哥特风蝙蝠侠比这有意思多了好吧？我不明白为什么蝙蝠侠一定要走film noir苦大仇深的风格。我宁愿去看乔治克鲁尼的蝙蝠侠，都不想再听这种自我意识过剩的monologue了。让Bruce过得轻松一点吧，天天压着嗓子跟哮喘似的。
【B-】新在哪里?三小时的铺陈依旧讲了一个平淡、老套的木偶戏，从剧情、演出、设定到镜头，没有一处有着独特的调味，为何不敢大胆一些呢?看不出几分新意，只感受到了退让，把立体压缩成平面，把往返拉伸成笔直，把癫狂内敛为克制。全片似乎建立在之前人物已经深耕于观众心中的预设里，弧光的架设几乎不存在，片头的布鲁斯与片尾的布鲁斯又有何区别?哥谭真切堕落为了一块布景的草纸，新蝙蝠侠里的一切都不“新”，想往非英雄叙事的视角延伸的想法最终落地成为了白开水与过家家探案，去符号化的进程当中，各方意味也被不断消解。这是最贴近普通人也是观众最陌生的一位蝙蝠侠，请问此位布鲁斯韦恩与蝙蝠有何关系?与侠有何关系?与蝙蝠侠又有何关系?想讲的道理，前人已经说过了，想说的故事，我们已经厌倦了。
超喜欢这种暗黑风格的超级英雄电影呢！配乐简直是太棒啦！能给电影的悬疑感至少加一半的分！帕丁森演的还是很棒的，至少在表现自己从小而建立起的信念在一瞬间崩塌时的感情变化这方面，还是很棒的！还有电影票上说有彩蛋，然后我等了十几分钟！结果就只有一句话！再见！我差点吐血了！
好莱坞的超级英雄大片一直都在苦口婆心地告诉劳苦大众，老乡们，我们知道你们在受苦，请一定要耐心等着良心发现的富二代来拯救你们，千万不要想着自己翻身求解放，一旦自己来，你就会成为罪犯恐怖分子哦……虽然明知是这样的主题，还是要去看，无非是想看个视效看个热闹嘛，结果只是看了个乌漆麻黑的寂寞……
