Oh and if you are waiting for an end credits (non spoiler below but I am tagging it just in case)
Don't bother waiting. There is one, but it's worthless.
 
Ok here goes..

It hurts much more when a quality narrative crashes and burns during the finale for instance my experiences with the MCU shows, BW, Squid games, Archive81 just to name a few.

Some of the best Batman elements ever to be realized in cinema completely deflated by a 3rd act that failed to stick its landing by very odd plot decisions grrrr :gah:

The longer the movie played the worst it got for me :crying it was like they zigged when they should’ve zagged lol

Most of it I did prefer over TDK it’s the Batman I have always wanted BUT…and this is important for me…TDK has a much more epic more fulfilling ending leading up to the credits.

Do I place it overall above TDK?

Some things like i mentioned the ending TDK does better and of course the Joker who is more memorable than Riddler just maybe not as ruthless and scary BUT more memorable and also some set pieces but otherwise The Batman is my favorite Batman movie enough so that I will go watch again with wife and son this time.

Man why did they go and abandon the direction it was leading into just to play it safe I don’t get why they deflated everything into a soft finale.

Now who wants the movie spoiled get over here Loki lol

Good to see some of you guys like it. Seeing it on Saturday. The fans seem to love it. I don’t think it’ll be better than tdk but it’ll come close .

Many elements BLOW AWAY TDK!

Many elements BB/TDK does better as in staying more focused on an end narrative that makes sense based on the build up and BB/TDK are also more action driven.

Hard to explain really I need a second viewing i’m in a fog of dislocated shoulder pain right now.

Affleck Batman from BvS doesn’t even compete sorry Snyder kids.

Well we all knew it’ll blow anything from Snyder away lol
 
It couldn't possibly be more different than TDK IMO. I think if you go into it thinking that it may not be wise. Sure, It is a Batman Film, but think of it as more of a "True Detective" (not S2) with Batman In it. It literally is a detective film. One of the best.

I still can't believe people keep saying Batfleck is their best Batman. One good, 3-minute fight scene does not take away from the other hours of crappy movies he was in. Not his fault, but come on.

Oh gosh yes it had a different flow and pace and the realistic vibe went deeper than TDK WHILE simultaneously going dreary fantastical but it was a balance that I wanted slightly more fantastical.
