To anyone who has never seen this film…

No. If anything it deserves to be higher than a 7.0.

What is with this weird anti-Batman Returns crusade?

WTH are you talking this movie is awesome dark funny with a great aesthetic not totally serious but is not cheesy either so find a perfect balance.

Nolan's Batman is great but feels too close to reality and I think sometimes kinda hurts the character a little bit those movies took themselves too seriously after all this is a dude dressed as a bat fighting a clown.

This and the original Batman are really comic book movies the aesthetic is dark and gothic they even took inspiration from dr Caligari and german expressionism the Batmobile is the most badass of all Batman movies (Nolan Batmovil is just a tank is cool but is not original) Keaton is a great Batman no one can play the penguin as Danny Devito and Michelle Pfeiffer is the ultimate Catwoman, now that I think of it, this very well could be the comic book movie with the best main cast ever made, everybody was beyond perfect on his role.

I would love to have the opportunity to watch this in theater but at least I watched it on HD I just loved every second of it really cool movie
