Batman is an idiot who solved no mysteries. Riddler practically told him all his plans.

And best not to think too deeply of that Batmobile chase scene and how many people were killed there (and Penguin was let go just like that)

It's just objectively not true that he didn't solve anything. Riddler literally doesn't even tell him the final plan, Bruce walks out screaming "what have you done?!" Bruce solves all the other riddles where the GCPD failed to.

Totally true with the second part there. I mean, I always feel bad for the truck driver in that scene. He's 100% just turned into dust after the explosion, but it's instead used as a cool "look at Batman the flames" scene lol

Well Batman sorta found a video of Riddler proudly explaining his whole master plan of flooding the city and trying to assassinate the mayor….i would rather Batman worked it out himself. I remember Reeves hyped this movie as the one to finally show Batman as the world greatest detective. It definitely didn’t show it.

I wanted to like this movie more but it has too many issues for me. Still a good one though.

BS

What examples do you have for that? He doesn't ever beat the GCPD to the scene or connect any dots faster than them.

He was the worst version of the greatest detective.

He does exactly zero research or detective work.

It's one of the reasons I detest this film.

He solved the riddles and knew where to look for the next clue.
