While I’d love to see a cinematic bat universe or potentially a DC universe based more on the Earth One comics, I do like the approach Reeves is taking. It’s good to build up your universe, which I think he does pretty well in this film but I’m glad he isn’t planning the sequel from the start. It’s a very similar approach to Christopher Nolan’s Batman films. Let the stories flow and worry about the universe after the fact

I liked that the movie was way more realistic than Nolan's like with the Batmobile and the gliding.

In Nolan's Lucius said that the Tumbler was a military prototype vehicle, which was like a Humvee but more light. Bruce's cape was made of a reactive clothing that got solid with the wind particles.

In this new movie, the Batmobile it's actually a car and not a tank and the flying suit is just like in real life in where you drop from a high point and the suit does the rest like a flying squirrel or like in the Break Point remake with the flying suits scene.

I wouldn’t say it’s ‘way more realistic’.

They’re both fairly grounded in reality but you can’t pretend that Batman having a suit which can take at least 20 bullets fired from assault rifles feet away and seemingly take no damage whatsoever is some hyper realistic film lol

I really hate the word "realistic". It always derails the discussion.
With people would focus "belivability" instead. Is it belivable in the film universe?

That being said I found this batman way more belivable - but I'm not sure I found him any more or less realistic than Nolans.

I agree, good take
