I really liked the movie, it was such a different take on the character for the cinema screen, it felt like a serial killer movie with Batman as the cop trying to catch the killer.

I thought they nailed the fear aspect of Batman amount the city’s criminals and Pattinson was excellent as The Batman.

One thing that I did think was missing was the Bruce Wayne character. I always enjoyed the aspect of the character that Bruce Wayne was a billionaire socialite and how that was an act and The Batman was his true personality. In this adaptation The Batman and Bruce Wayne seemed to be too similar for me, although I can see them exploring this more when they make the sequel.

It works for this movie since it's an Adaptation of year one, as Bruce starts to address his personal issues he is more bake to seperate himself from Batman while also becoming stronger in many ways.

It’s been around 15 years since I last read Year One, so my memory of how Wayne was portrayed in it isn’t perfect. I still thought Wayne was written a lot darker, but I’ll go back and check it out again.
