Alright. I just watched this in DC. I think it warrants a few words.
Everyone thinks of a super badass dressed in black from head to toe with an equally awesome cape when they hear the word "Batman". And usually Robin alongside him.
That is portrayed, true-to-stereotype in this movie (minus the Robin part, of course).
Batman also usually has an array of cool tools he has strapped to his belt that he liberally uses to make his great escape, or to kill/disable his opponents.
That is shown. Not excessively, but it's there.
And, from the different Batman movies over the years, fans will also get to know the trademark "Batman rasp" to determine the difference from Batman and Bruce Wayne.
That is also there. Something that I have always found extremely annoying, but I guess that's something that has been in the comics, or Christopher Nolan wanted that there.
So, it seems like this movie has all the great things that your typical Batman movie has, and it also seems like there is your typical Christopher Nolan Batman Trilogy fare all over the place.
Then why is it that I felt like there was nothing special about this movie, other than the uber-sick Tom Hardy playing quite possibly one of the most badass, ruthless and awesome villains I have seen in a movie?
This was an extremely downplayed Batman, and the conclusion was left with many plotholes for the audience to wonder: What the hell? That doesn't make any sense. Although I did very much enjoy seeing Anne Hathaway in a skintight, Catwoman suit (who doesn't?), this movie did not fill in the blanks nor did it provide a bombproof story that would keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time. Unless you're desperate for something to see, there are better options out there.
Although, I might be bashing it a little too hard here. It's still an action-packed movie, and super entertaining to watch. But it didn't feel like enough.
Just like Mass Effect 3. Screw you, Bioware!
