I Wanted it to be Joker. There was no emotional connection at all with this movie.

I felt there was a lot of grief, angst and anger, maybe even a suicidal tendency in Bruce Wayne and Riddler felt indignation about corruption in Gotham

Riddler became a serial killer and Wayne became a vigilante, both were stoked by their emotions and there’s a lesson herein… Neither man talked about their frustrations, they bottled up their feelings until they both exploded and dozens of people were hurt or killed and the city was wrecked

This really was the biggest let down, I thought this would be Joker.

No way. Joker is too good.

I didn't think it was bad but I didn't enjoy it. I was genuinely disappointed when he caught the Riddler, which I assumed was the end, but it kept going for another (I think) 40 minutes.

Yep. The film did not drag at all. Really entertaining film.

The story and scene transitions are choppy. It is also really dark, not just mood-wise but visually dark. It was hard to see what all was happening half the time.

I hate visually dark movie, but not in The Batman. At first I don't get why it was so. But after awhile I think I understand.

Most movies use dark scenes because they wanted to hide stuffs. Say, fighting scenes done by actors that don't know any martial arts (to hide the stunt doubles' faces) or too old (any Liam Neeson recent action movies), etc. Sub-par CGI (Pacific Rim movies). Or just to obscure the terrible set / low budget (every horror and old noir movie.)

But here, in The Batman, the use of darkness is not to hide or obscure deficiencies. It's deliberate and woven into the concept and story. It reminds me of the only other visually dark movie I liked, Sin City the first one. I could see everything clearly despite the darkness.
