Real Talk
The Batman is a more grounded Batman not a realistic take like Nolans. I hope people are not confusing the two. Reeves take is more fantastical.

Only year 2. Remember he said he thought he had mastered certain shyt
I think that was the point.
Recall the first time Alfred showed up talking to Bruce about some Wayne Enterprises business and Bruce hitting him with the"I don't give a fukk about anything but Bat business" look.
I know it was the point. Doesn't change the fact that a dark Batman and a dark Bruce didn't work out that great for me

If it’s intended then I’m fairly sure they’ll be trying to evolve him into the playboy if they a planning a trilogyI know it was the point. Doesn't change the fact that a dark Batman and a dark Bruce didn't work out that great for me
how was the dark knight more realistic?
The Batmobile scene, the lit-by-gunfire fight, and one other scene I can’t remember off the top of my head gave me literally goosebumps 
I love the direction they went with it. Love how dark it was, literally and figuratively.

Loved it but I can appreciate why some might be lukewarm. It's quite long and if you've been conditioned to expect all "super hero" movies to follow the Marvel template, it lacked a lot of action.
The most David Fincher movie I've ever seen that he didn't actually direct.
9/10

Bruce is still in year 2 basically his sophmore year in his career he hasn't learned to balance like an experienced Batman has learned
He spends all his time being Batman and the nights blend to together so much for him that he has to record and keep a journal to remember everything
Once he begins to crack the darkness away and begin to live his life a little his alter ego will become a greater part of his life
That being said this worked to great effect every other Batman movie just skipped over this aspect of his character and had him transition back to being Bruce Wayne with no problems

This had more appeal from a Batman fan POV than a CBM fan. This shyt was like reading a graphic novel
More so than most adaptations. Gotham felt otherworldly gothic in this whereas in TDK, they may have called it Gotham, but you could tell it was set in Chicago.
shyt, even Nolan had to withhold the usage of a few villains because it would’ve been hard to adapt them on a realistic level.
Fight scenes weren't memorable....struggle punches, getting slumped, being afraid to jump off a building....

Fights weren't that good. Point out one you thought was great.
They set it up for him to be different in the next movie but I'm judging this one. It was just too one note.

Yea. My friend and I are big Bat Stans and we had the same thoughts about the movie. It felt like a true Bat film. Really grimy and dark.

Where?Was surprised the script was so hammy and overblown. The lines were rough in some scenes, "were not so different you and I", just has no place in any movie. The plot itself wasn't handled well, the corruption, the nightclub, the plan at the end. I was surprised, maybe I shouldn't have been, to the degree which Reeves embraced the very comic elements of the story and character.
*The cliched big drug deal and car chase
*The don't kill the villain speech
*The big save at the end
*the hidden past aspects
The serial killer on some type of hidden chat screen, is something I have seen in many C list serial killer thrillers, right?
Felt lazy and tired to me.
Alot of the riddles and mysteries were solved in like 30 seconds. And seemed pretty dismal. I wasn't at all expecting Fincher imitation, I have seen all that done in better movies, not including masterful stuff like Seven or Zodiac, but even mostly forgotten movies like The Bone Collector (1999)
I didn't hate it, but the trailer probably oversold me a very different movie. I really didn't think there would be all that fantastical stuff, which is probably mostly on me. I really thought it going to be some stripped down and down to earth Batman, with none of that Nolan/Shumacher/Burton shyt. It was mostly just a genre pic with good/competent direction, and stylistically had some moments.
