Seeing the parallels when
Batman saved Selina from getting chocked by Carmine and then Kyle saving Batman when he was about to get a shotgun to the face

Oh yeah it was the police station.
You’re right. It feels like as others said in this thread, he’s just coming into his own and is an early Batman.

How can I be inaccurate about how I felt about the film? It was long, boring, and stale. My wife just kept asking "how much longer". Before you enlighten a poor ignoramus like myself who can't understand the intricacies of this film with your brilliance just tell me if you thought films such as Mad Max Fury Road or BR 2049 were good films? If yes just save your words because I thought those were even worse films than The Batman and we will not come to a consensus about this movie or any points of agreement.
You didn't like Fury Road?

no. The part I specifically bold and underlined.
That’s the part I have issue with because the whole film is about him not being to crack the master plan.
He even got El vs La mixed up. So it wasn’t as straight forward as you said

Now that was a movie I thought was trash. Crazy because I was hyped to see it because I like the orignal Mad Max films.

Bond's gun spoke once....
One thing people have used to discredit it is that bale was doing this or that in year one. Or that he took on the joker in year 2 blah blah blah.Its s different take on the younger years of batman. If he was doing the same things as bale did in his films then what would be the point of watching? I like that he fails constantly in this film but is still willing to give his life for the city if need be.
and too me the way pattinson played the character, under the cowl with little facial expressions…like when hes confused you are too. When hes thinking about the answer to the riddle so is the viewer. I understand alot of gripes but for me this film just hits different.

i told people.. The streaming concept really has a movie stay in the public eye a while longer. What WB/DC may miss out on at the end of a box office run.. they will gain with HBO subs because people wanna sub to HBO for exclusive shows and movie premiers.
The 45-day window seems to be a better idea than a full 90-day theater run

Okay, finally got through this.
I didn't make it all the way through the first time, got bored.
Played it a second time, got interrupted and was kinda bored anyway so I just parked it about halfway.
Just finished the second half of the film and I must say, I went from being ready to trash it all togehter to more like
Colin Farrel did a damn good Deniro as the Penguin impression lol, best part of the movie hands down.
+ Better Catwoman than Nolan
+ Score is dope
+ "Year one/two" as an experience was more fleshed out than BB
- Fighting/Action scenes were pretty bad
- Paul Danno was a bit over the top
- Another "grounded" Batman movie, while simultatniously being a bit over the top in general.
- Way too fukking long
- The "Vengence" roundabout was frustrating and awkward
- The joker scene
I give it a 6/10 honestly. And it benefited from an intermission, I couldn't imagine starting that shyt from the begining tonight. Not really interested in another watch unless I'm trying to show it to someone who hasn't seen it yet. The villans put this slightly above BB as a whole.

So, I realized something rewatching the movie. I prefer almost omniscient/clairvoyant Batman (think DC animated films) over “detective Batman.” Like, I don’t want to see Batman thumbing through manila folders and typing in URL’s and shyt. That shyt is ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzz to me, which is why I probably didn’t love this movie. We all have different sensibilities.

Just downloaded and finished watching this movie. And this is no way in any shape or form better than Nolans Batman. Not even close. I thought this movie would never end.

This movie had some Se7en David Fincher vibe too it.
