Well my expectations start low right out of the gate with the title, proceeds to casting, comes to a simmer with costume design. As for the director, he makes great visual spectacle slow burn movies. Not really my pick for a Batman flick. Even the really good ones are slogs to get through after multiple rewatches. As for PG13, I never wanted an R rated Batman flick in the first place. Kids shouldn't need a chaperone to see a Batman movie. But they were sort of promising a mature one for years. Batman doesn't need boobs and F bombs and you can show plenty of extreme violence before you cross the gore barrier.

The title is fine. Wish it was a little more original so I can see your argument there but I can overlook it.
The cast I think is great. Robert Pattinson is a phenomenal actor. Same goes for Paul Dano, Jeffrey Wright and Colin Farrel. Zoe Kravitz can be a hit or miss.
As for the director, it's not a matter of pacing in which defines the directors vision. It's a matter of style and tone in what a director primarily aims for. This film can have a great pace to it and could flow differently than Reeves previous films and slow pace doesn't mean bad.
The PG13 rating also isn't a so called cash grab. It's just that an R rating isn't necessary for this film. The film can still be brutal and dark and can get away with a PG13 rating.
