People coming in expecting a Nolan type movie set themselves up for disappointment well before seeing the movie.

see this right here, there's like 1% of the viewing audience that give a shite who the director is. Most people have no idea who directs any movie.

very few people go into a movie thinking it'll be a certain way b/c of a director b/c no one gives a shite about a director, or follows who directs what. Very small percent of people pay attention to that.

BUT, many people go into a Batman movie expecting certain BATMAN things.
First thing the majority of movie goers want to see is the batmobile. Considering it rained the whole fricking movie and every scene was at night, we barely even know what that batmobile looked like.
What kind of cool batman tech and weaponry did we see? the contact lens camera was cool. and if i remember correctly, this vagina batman was scared to jump off the building in his little flying squirrel suit.
The one cool fight scene was more interested in showing off the "different" cinematography than being a cool fight scene, as we barely saw anything with the lights going on and off the whole time. the lighting bothered me the entire scene and took away from it. Maybe they should watch Daredevil and get an idea of how to do a hallway fight scene.
The score was overbearing most of the time and made me feel like batman was considering suicide most of the time.
Batman barely ever talked, and when he did, he sounded no different than Bruce Wayne. There was nothing intimidating about this Batman that he actually did. Just b/c a few criminals acted scared of him doesn't make him intimidating. I mean a piece of shite cop put his hands on him to stop him from entering a crime scene and told him to get the frick out of here, all while batman just stared at him and let Gordon do the talking to let him in. His silence and stare for most of the movie was just dumb.
The Riddler was a terrible villain that basically tried to be the Heath Ledger Joker, and failed miserably, and his acting in the jail cell at the end was hilariously bad, as was batman's banging on the glass.
For all the talk about this Batman being a detective, well he was a shitty detective and we didn't see anything cool tech wise to help him with his detective work.
and the rat with wings riddle was so stupidly played out.

this movie cared more about dark cinematography and it's ridiculous score to try to show who Batman was, instead of actually letting Batman show who Batman is. Since i have great surround sound, which i was about to turn off b/c i couldn't take the stupid arse T-REX stomping every time Batman took a step. WHy they frick is Batman's boots making that much noise? Why is that important for the audience to hear as it was singled out several times?
