Disagree all you like, but you're partly mistaken.
Goyer's style was pretty good for batman, however, he failed to have batman live up to what he needed to be.
In short, his style captured the SETTING of Batman, but missed the ESSENCE of the character.
Batman Begins : Good origin story PERFECT place to build from
Dark Knight: No real development for batman, no evolution of the character. Was more a joker movie than a batman film. Still pretty good, however.
But then we get to TDKR, and things just don't hold up. it wasn't a good batman or bane film. he missed the mark on what makes Batman work by a WIDE margin, squandering a great opportunity.
He missed the mark EVEN FURTHER in MOS. MOS was just as big a mess as Green lantern.
Affleck, on the other hand, has a GREAT grasp of the essence of what makes Batman work as a character. He's the one that needs to be trusted.
I agree the Nolan Trilogy had the Right tone. But the characters themselves is what missed the mark. I don't know that I'd go so far as to call the Marvel films Shallow. They're a little simple in plot at some points, but then, they're doing what NEEDS to be done.
EMBRACING the fact that they're comic book films, not hiding from it.
