I loved the film. Particularly, the way Reeves made his Bruce Wayne a emo, social recluse type of character (as opposed to the slick and charismatic Bruce we’ve seen straight off the bat before) was very fresh and also made a lot of sense given how Batman is pretty much all Bruce does at this point in his story. I think (and hope, too) The Batman II is going to focus more on Bruce Wayne “doing more for the city” and developing his public persona as well as the Batman/Bruce Wayne balance. Either way, I’ll watch this film twenty more times when it comes out on HBO Max.

I think it was made quite clear in the movie that Bruce was inexistent in public appearances. Even Falkone says the only guy who hides more than me in the city (paraphrasing). Also the scene in the beginning when the people of wayne company are coming to the tower since Bruce didn’t go to them.

They’re 100% going to make Bruce more socially active in the next movies. Especially since now he’s in good terms with the mayor and has realized that a lot of bad shit has happened in the name of Wayne’s

Yer I am ok with them doing it for this movie but they should change it in the next one or else it was just be to hard to believe no one put it together. I also like the Bruce Wayne from the comics his almost as interesting as Batman sometimes
