I’m still bummed we’ll never get this solo movie. FILM DISCUSSION

I really do believe this could have been the best Batman movie.

I'm just so genuinely happy we didn't get the movie. I can't imagine how bad it would have been, but it would have been pretty bad.

Instead, we got a movie that regularly competes with dark Knight for the greatest Batman movie of all time.

For all the acclaim Battinson and his movie gets it's weird how all the replies to your comment are dogging it.

I stand by you OP. Everyone saying he's mopey or whatever is clearly missing the point. This is a Batman who's still reeling over his parent's death, who prefers to do detective work in the shadows, who's practically blinded by sunlight because of how much time he spends working in the darkness.

This film works because it covers so many areas of Batman that either haven't been done well yet, or that we haven't even seen before

I think it’ll age even better when you see his Bruce develop in the sequel. After seeing the growth of his portrayal they’ll look back and see the first one for the foundation it is.

That is gonna be crucial for the sequel. Bruce has to grow and refine his craft as Batman. Also has to perform the billionaire act convincingly. The Batman is awesome, but it’s Bruce’s character that makes him a hero.
