The movie was just boring and stupid and *beep* 3/10.
If you ask, no i'm not a fan of Nolan's Batman films either.
With all due respect, people who don't like this movie should shut up their stupid fat faces and never share their opinions on any subject ever again.
(Did that come off as a bit harsh? Maybe I've been spending too much time around Christopher Nolan fans.)
Janet! Donkeys!
I will re-state what I said on another post.
The Batman comics started out with a dark tone in the very beginning. They featured a batman who carried a gun and didn't really care if the villains died. And yes, he DID actually kill on occasion. Batman was originally based on the gun-toting, ruthless anti-heroes of pulp novels, after all. Remember the early Batman comic (I think it was the very first issue) when he punched a criminal, and the criminal crashed through some railing and fell into a vat of acid? Batman simply stated, "A fitting end for his kind." Can you imagine Batman in today's comics ever reacting that way?? Modern Batman would retreat into a brooding crisis of conscience in the Batcave over accidentally allowing the criminal to die.
However, within a couple years, Batman had become much less ruthless. And the Batman comics got lighter in tone, including the introduction of the Robin character. And then, with the public moral panic and backlash against comics in the 50s, including the publication of the book "Seduction of the Innocent", superhero comics basically HAD to be reduced to campy, goofy, childish, meaningless fare just so they wouldn't be censored and completely shut down.
The Batman TV show arose from this comic book environment, as a self-aware satire influenced by the ridiculousness of comics of that time, as well as revival theater showings of the cheesy low-budget theatrical Batman serials from the 1940s (everybody seems to forget about those).
And you also have to account for the HUGE dose of pop-art sensibility. I mean, the whole thing looks like a Warhol or Lichtenstein painting came to life! I would argue that if someone doesn't like or understand that kind of art and the whole zeitgeist behind it, then they won't "get" this show, either.
