He was like Gordon’s special consultant
In a ridiculous outfit. While cops snicker and leer. Batman seems sad. Like a little lost boy, too scared to show up in normal clothes, needs to hide in a costume.

From that, it sounds like your issue is more with Batman- or masked heroes for that matter- as a concept.In a ridiculous outfit. While cops snicker and leer. Batman seems sad. Like a little lost boy, too scared to show up in normal clothes, needs to hide in a costume.
Exactly!A chase through oncoming traffic on a freeway, multicar pile up and a tanker truck exploding as the final exclamation point.
No doubt a lot of injury and death.
All forgotten about by the next scene.
BAD
ASS

Anyways, a more socially anxious, jittery Batman when in calmer or ambiguous situations that don’t simply require him to be brutally violent or relentless in his pursuit tracks perfectly in my mind for a newbie Batman who is yet to truly ‘find himself’ and develop who and what Batman can be.
This Batman is a loner through and through with a singular, obsessive focus and an inner rage that drives him to actively seek out scenarios in which he feels justified to satisfy his craving to deliver his own personal brand of ‘justice.’
He ain’t a people person, and he’s far from developing the swarve, composed, confident Bruce Wayne billionaire playboy, philanthropist character.
If he isn’t beating up a person or interrogating them for information, he’s going to be uneasy and unsure of how to act around them because he hasn’t developed socially.
One of many things I love about Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth is the exploration of Batman’s psychology and how it shows he’s as damaged as the inmates of Arkham. There’s a degree of attested development with Batman and part of him is forever stuck in the night his parent’s died so, if you know the right buttons to push, you can bring out the terrified, powerless ten year old at the very core of his being.

The movie has an identity crisis! Sometimes it wants to be more grounded then nolans batman but other times it wants to be a big spectacle. If you cut everything away after the riddler jail scene the movie is better for itIt was. Wasn't that all the reshoot that the studio demanded? A big, loud climax for Bats?
It definitely felt tacked on, and made the movie feel way too long. I enjoyed it up to Riddler-in-jail scene... then I was like, There's more still? And the ensuing action really wasn't all that great or harrowing. Felt very much like beats on paper to hit certain notes -- like "Batman needs to rescue The People" and "Catwoman needs to save Batman, and then he saves her right back" -- and the director reluctantly obliged with little care and/or with little time.
Theres nothing dumber then the scene where he walks slow and cool into the machine gun fire in the club. And matt reeves wants you to think this batman is more grounded then nolansTo be fair, the ending was worth it for the beautiful shots of him walking out with the flare and the symbology of that whole scene. At the same time, the second film best be damned concise.
Can anyone help me what the hell the car chase scene was about, though? Why did it happen? I still can't figure it out. Also the flow of that scene is completely broken, there's a great build up and then the huge rev of the engine and then he just sort of sits and waits there until he gets in the car and drives off, it's very anti-climactic. And seems far-fetched, here we have the best detective, and he willingly and seemingly wants to have a chase and put people on the road in danger.
We already have that in batman beginsSo they could have one bad a** car chasing scene
The movie has an identity crisis!
I dont know how up close nobody can tell its bruce wayne under the maskIn a ridiculous outfit. While cops snicker and leer. Batman seems sad. Like a little lost boy, too scared to show up in normal clothes, needs to hide in a costume.
These movies make a such a big point about the heroes not killing even when they always do.A chase through oncoming traffic on a freeway, multicar pile up and a tanker truck exploding as the final exclamation point.
No doubt a lot of injury and death.

Very well said and its something I love about this batman that most people seem to have an issue withThis Batman is a loner through and through with a singular, obsessive focus and an inner rage that drives him to actively seek out scenarios in which he feels justified to satisfy his craving to deliver his own personal brand of ‘justice.’

One of the reasons why i can get behind almost every iteration of the character (except you Schumacher/Clooney, sit back down)
Yes. That. That’s Batman.I'm not a psychologist so forgive me, but from the small dip I took in college, that all seems very logical and plotted out, almost as if a writer put it all together for kids to understand in simple concepts. True psychology is a lot more complicated and surprisingly counter-intuitive in many ways.
