As a movie, yes, Matt Reeves knows what he's doing. It looks and feels impeccable. But I'm here as a long-time Batman fan, and I simply hate the fact that the recent movies distance themselves further from what Batman used to be all about. It's no longer colorful, there isn't the slightest bit of humour to be found.
Nolan first brought us a modernized version of Batman and it's world which was already a bleak turn from the classic caped crusader, I never thought it would get worse...enter Matt Reeves to rip away the comic book of old from the children's hands and replace it with a depressing and dark take.
Batman used to be fun, exciting, something for children as well as for adults, but in this day and age movie makers and comic book writers seem hellbent on ripping away a hero kids can look up to.
Zack Snyder's movies were far from perfect in it's exectution, but they at least had the classic charm.
"The Batman" has none of that...An emo Bruce, a softspoken and dumber than nails Batman, a Riddler who wears a garbage bag and can't come up with one clever or challenging riddle, a trash Batmobile, no Wayne Manor or thrilling Batcave and a horendous Batsuit...this will be the Batman legacy... Cheer for the movie making, sure, but for Batman?
