The Blandman

Gotham, the city where everybody is a lame shooter, and whose streets are prowled by The Blandman... the slothful superhero, who never scratches his ass, because the itch is gone before his hand reaches it.

You know, Nolan ruined not only Batman but many other superhero movies, because wanted to make them realistic and in the process made them absurd. The Dark Knight Rises likely will never be outcringed. The Batman (2022) only managed to be extremely boring generic crime thriller with miscast actors, and I'm saying this as somebody who in the past week had to endure "American Honey" and "Kind of Kindness" - at least they were trying to be different.

You are wrong.

I read a lot of comics when I was younger and they were intense dramas that stretched over many titles and were engrossing. That's why people love comics.

They are not fun and lighthearted but intense dramas with characters who have a lot of personality.

Batman is a tortured and intense person who is a genius.

If you watch Sherlock Holmes shows/movies the British tend to make them complex because they are a tribute to their culture. They don't make silly Holmes shows.

In the comics, Batman is a science fiction ninja, Holmes. Thus far, we have not had a good Batman film because one or more of those elements is always missing.

I found that my appreciation for this film increased dramatically when viewed as a detective movie, rather than a super-hero/action movie.

He doesn't solve any riddles until it's too late does he?

Only saw it twice so my recall is hardly 100%, but if he had, I'm not sure if that would have had any bearing on my appreciation of the film.
