Wait, didn’t Batman begin with just “Batman”? Yes, it was stylish, had some neat effects, etc… but I thought this movie took itself way too seriously – like it was so over-grandiose I was rolling my eyes. Something was odd about the Batman character as well – like I didn’t really believe he wanted to do good. Maybe that was intentional – to show the dark side of Bruce Wayne – but it left me kind of luke-warm trying to sympathize with him.
