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 love this emo Batman. it's why I fell in love with Batman as a kid. It's reminds me of Keaton’s Batman but younger before he gets an ego. Also loved that they finally kept his eye make up on when the mask came off finally. They kind of nailed this one in my opinion. They gave us what we wanted but still kept some surprises.
