"The last half-hour just didn't work for me."

Yeah, it felt like the studio notes came down and said "this is a great film, but could we make it more like the Nolan films instead?

"Pattison was a great Batman but a meh Bruce Wayne."

Agreed. He would have been a kick ass version of The Crow, though.

"Catwoman in general was great, and I'm bummed she disappeared for a good chunk of the 2nd act."

I'm actually glad she did. That was a big helping hand in not making the whole endeavor feel like a juggling act and it felt natural for the flow of the narrative.

"That's a long damn movie. When are we bringing back the intermission?"

Hopefully for The Batman 2. I could have watched another hour of this if we had an intermission in the middle. Make the intermission long enough and most people will go round 2 on buying snacks and drinks as well, which is where the real money is for the theaters.

"Do we really need a 3 hour Batman movie?"

We've needed this Batman movie for a long time. This is the Batman I really hoped Affleck would become. This movie was 3 hours so, yeah, we needed a 3 hour Batman movie. Maybe it could have been shorter, but it also could have been longer and still delivered.

"I did like the passport scene where they held each other silently/motionlessly while the cop searched the building. Sexual tension suited this movie better than on-the-nose romance."

Although I've seen it in countless other movies, I still absolutely loved this scene. It felt right, not forced, and would have been a great prelude in the event they saved the "something more" for a sequel.
