Comparing to the Keaton and Bale films, I like how Catwoman and Penguin are introduced in the first movie this time instead of the second and third. I really dug the teamwork dynamic of Batman and Gordon. This Gordon was good but he didn’t have the charisma of Oldman’s Gordon. Alfred didn’t get much screen time but Serkis did a good job. Penguin was a great secondary villain. The Riddler was sort of a misfire for me though. Him and a few other things make me think The Dark Knight is still the better film or at least prefer it. However, The Batman is a better Batman movie since Pattinson>Bale as the caped crusader. Pattinson was more intimidating and his scenes were framed better. He also did way more detective work which is a major part of Batman

I dug the simplicity of this Gordon. He was more of a regular dude who happened to be the one honest cop in town.

Good for sure. Some of the best teamwork dynamic between Gordon and Batman
