Nolan's movies were great but honestly, Reeve's version completely takes the cake. I'm amazed anyone can even compare the two and even saw, "meh, it's up to par with Nolan's". No, this is superior to Nolan's. Reeves finally made a Batman movie that actually felt 100% like how Batman should be portrayed. He didn't pull any punches. The movie's climax was insane and not something you'd ever possibly expect from most superhero movies out there with their ever super predictable bulls*** happy endings (Disney MCU movies I'm looking at you and your corniness). Like I legit thought Reeves would plant some deus ex machina save-the-day BS, but he didn't. He just freaking went with it all out. Light spoiler: Also I see no one mentioning this, but can I just praise at how damn amazingly perfect the Batsuit and Patterson's casting is. He's the first actor to actually looks like Batman for once. Burton's Batman had a dumb cowl and overweight Batman. Schumacher's Batman had dumb bat nipples and again, the silly cowl neck issue. Nolan's Batman, while looking realistic, looked nothing like comic Batman. Bale was too stumpy and his oversized head makes his Batman appearance look kinda lame (maybe just my personal opinion but yea). Snyder's Batman was comic accurate too but in a different way. I think his JL Batman ruined the dark undertone though But meanwhile Patterson looks absolutely perfect in the role. He has the deep jawline. He has the broad shoulders. And Reeves made a perfect choice to fix the cowl issue by just detaching it completely from the cape (Nolan did the same thing but his batsuit still looked way too clunky). He looked almost like the Batman from Arkham video games EDIT: Forgot to add but the detective aspect is of course the main selling point. Can't believe we had to go through over 30 years before one director could step in and know what Batman's core aspect is really about. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Considering Bruce's whole arc is realizing he can do more inspiring hope than creating fear, I have to assume the moody persona was intentional for this movie and he'll be more charismatic in the future --- #FeelTheBern http://i.imgur.com/q5z4CUu.jpg http://i.imgur.com/6B9oFXh.jpg http://i.imgur.com/sy42Dlf.jpg ...

Why do people keep praising the detective aspect? They certainly made an effort to look like a detective story but Batman was being led by the nose the whole movie and an entire hour of it revolved around him being stumped by a bird pun. He just walked back and forth between the same people asking questions until the riddler killed someone else. He didn't stop a single murder and didn't find the riddler. He didn't solve shit and then he lost. Fuck awful detective. --- https://i.imgur.com/AUXKMK4.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

specialkid8 posted... So why did you like The Batman suit?
2. It balances the head-body ratio very nicely. Broad shoulders. Slim face. Very sharp jawline. All these facial and body features by Patterson accentuates the body suit to actually look and feel intimidating. Most importantly, Reeves focused on making only the cowl larger in size at the top part of the head. In comparison, past batsuits enveloped the entire actor's head to neck till they looked like some mushroom head. Just take a good look at how dumb oval-shaped Bale's batman looked like. The cowl looked so tight on everytime Bale spoke as Batman, he had to pout his lips all swollen like. It was disturbingly embarassing as heck. Nolan just got away with it by covering Bale's Batman in as much darkness as possible so you couldnt see how terrible he looks. 3. Again, Patterson has a good head-body ratio size and also sufficient muscles while still being lean. This meant he could wear the bulky batsuit while still making the whole thing look considerably slim because his own body wasnt taking up that much space. 4. The suit overall looked like how someone in real-life woud design it. Each part forms an actual common clothing. The cape is just a typical collared cloak. The body suit is just kevlar s*** all over. The cowl is completely detached from the rest of the suit and looked very cloth-like while still being bullet-proof. This meant Patterson could turn his head in all direcitons with ease. Meanwhile Nolan's and past Batsuits were all way too bulky and worst of all, extended to the cowl itself (and thus the stupid giant head issue all other actors faced. tho granted all the past Batman actors also had giant heads). Nolan's suit, while having a detached bat cowl too, suffered from the cowl itself being bulky. This meant Christian Bale was more like wearing some kind of stupid impractical helmet on his head than a cowl. ... Copied to Clipboard!

A lot of Batman's sloppiness in this is because it's only been 2 years for him as Batman. He only caught Joker a year ago. This is not the Batman that's the World's Greatest Detective just yet.
