I watched the first half hour of this last night; it wasn't too bad (at this rate, guess I'll finish it in around a week?)

I like how this Batman sort of goes everywhere on foot... like he just keeps walking up to groups of people – "Hey."

Even the Batmobile has issues with gas prices.

How many times did the Batmobile catch a flat?

liked this a lot more than i was expecting to. i enjoyed the detective story, even though it was dopey, and it was a beautiful-looking film, the palette a lot more vibrant than i expected. it also wasn't as grimdark as it thought it was, which is a plus.

The contact lens thing is cool – I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before.

Watched it last night - much better than I was expecting but the second half was a lot less interesting. Zoe Kravitz was fun as "Catwoman" but as soon she got bogged down in the boring John Turturro subplot, I lost interest. Too much backstory-in-convesation, like an early episode of Game of Thrones or something. And some of the interrogation scenes with Jeffrey Wright were silly and - it wasn't a complicated plot but the script made it more complicated than it needed to be.

I really liked Pattinson and his odd mask. Not exactly better than Bale, but much more enjoyable.

SO GLAD this wasnt grimdark - like, at all. Felt like a 12-year-old could've watched it (and maybe even gotten bored).

like an early episode of Game of Thrones or something.

You mean when it was good?

He’s such an asshole to Alfred for some reason, it’s funny.

The pacing of the final stretch was unusual – it didn’t really have a big action climax like most of these movies? It kind of slowly wound down instead.

Overall it was a little plot-heavy, but I enjoyed it. Pattinson was strangely compelling, with his emo charisma.

I finally sat down and watched this late last night, which was a bit of a mistake as it was rolling on 4am when it finally got done. It was a beautiful looking movie. I thought all the scenes inside the Iceburg Lounge looked really cool. I had no idea that was Colin Ferrell as the Penguin until the end credits.

While it was not as over the top grimacing as some of the other DC movies, good lord Gotham was totally f'ed up in the end. Kinda hard to think Batman came out as a winner in this one at all (which was kind of the case of the N52 Riddler story this is based upon).

Curious to see where they go with this one in the sequel as they already used the Harvey Dent/Two Face and Ra's Al Ghul in the previous trilogy. I'd figure they do something more about Arkham.

I thought it was funny how Gordon and Batman blithely caused or contributed to like 30 civilian car wrecks while pursuing a minor thug or something.

I watched this again… despite its imperfections (the Riddler expects Bruce Wayne to open his own mail?), I think it’s quite well made, and it has a certain “Batman-ness” that none of the other movies have (note: I’ve never seen the Batfleck ones). It’s hard to put into words, but Reeves manages to capture the feel of the comics without leaning too hard into a “stylized” approach… and I think Pattinson may be my favorite of the actors (not counting Keaton, who’s kind of in his own league, but I don’t like his movies much).

(the Burton movies, that is)

From my memory of the film it's the only of these that feels like a real, living city, and not just sets or set pieces. But I may not be remembering accurately.

I guess the second Nolan film did too (although without necessarily feeling like “Gotham City” as we think of it).

For all that movie’s virtues, I feel like Nolan got so hung up on a certain type of “realism,” that it became tiring… all that Wayne Industries military tech, etc. This Batman is more modestly equipped—he has a bulletproof suit and a muscle car, and a simple Batcave—and feels more “believable,” while also seeming more like Batman in the comics.

Even the costume really looks the part, while splitting the difference and coming off almost as something that might work in real life (without looking ridiculous). The action scenes are great; it feels like “Batman fighting,” not just an Iron Man–type figure using fancy weapons.

Well, while we wait (if we are) on a new film:

Weirdly like Rockstar Games does The Sopranos
