The three hour runtime chewed through all my time surplus, so all you get is this TLDR list:
- Ninety minutes of story was stretched over twice that.
- There are no good guys here; people range from a shady inheritance to psycho-bad.
- Most of the actors were spot-on for their respective parts.
- Gotham seemingly has no real economy. Can a city exist on drug money alone? Nah.
- Some of the "world's greatest detective" part is OK.
- The "60's badass muscle car" Batmobile was pretty cool. Less tech, more wreck.
- Just from the look of it, this movie just smelled bad. Batcave is a junked-up monster car garage? Sure, it's gonna stink like a truckstop in August. Catwoman's apartment is packed with strays? Yeah, we know what that's gonna smell like too.
- There's a flooded city theme toward the end, so add New Orleans to the Chicago/New York mix.
- Gritty.
- Too damn long for too little chewy nougat center.
- Two Stars out of Five.
