re: The Batman is out now on HBO Max

What was he doing for the last 20 years as he grew up? That's my point. I have no idea why he became the Batman/Bruce Wayne he is in this movie. So he's been a hermit since his parents were killed and plotting his vengeance until he was grown up enough to become Batman? I don't need an origin story on Batman, but if you're going to be this different, then i kind of do need it. I have no idea why Batman even exists in this world. I get it, vengeance, but it makes no sense right now.

but why is he trying to fix things? If he's doing this for vengeance, then it doesn't seem like he cares about fixing anything, he just wants to hurt all bad guys as a way of getting back at the bad guy that killed his parents. If he wanted to fix things, then he would be doing so b/c he loves Gotham and wants to make it a better place, but how could he want that if he's never been out of his house to experience the city as Bruce Wayne?

Watch the rest of the movie. You still might think it sucks, but it answers this. I mean you're bitching and you've watched half the movie. At least finish it so you have a complaint that makes sense.
