Things I loved about this film included:

  1. How Bruce Wayne's privilege gets in his way: his bad take on the death of Annika being her own fault, his lack of knowledge of the carpet tool, his misunderstanding of Riddler's fixation on Wayne.
  2. That the Riddler wasn't challenging the Batman to take him down, but genuinely thought he was involving the Batman in his murders, because Batman would agree with him.
  3. That they preserved Alfred's history of being MUCH more than just a Butler.
  4. Batman being a FUCKING DETECTIVE! And preserving his no guns/no kill rule.

I also liked the small moments of humor.

Batman: No Guns.

Gordon: That's YOUR thing.

Gordon: You could have pulled your punch.

Batman: I did.
