I'm a major Batman fan.
I've watched movies, comics animated series, TV series, fanfiction, games...
A movie with a Batman in it can not be bad.
That being said, it can be not good.

I have a couple of head-canons for Batman. This meshed with all of them.
As the fitting end to Nolan's head-canon trilogy it works. It's actually a very good story he told.

I'm going to have to disagree with you on at least one point, that being that a film with Batman in it can't be bad. it can be bad when Batman isn't really Batman, and I'm sorry but Nolan and Bale haven't ever been able to convince me that I was watching a Batman film.

a good action film, yes. but not a Batman film of any sort. Christian Bale plays an interesting protagonist tortured by his past, but he's not been playing either Batman or Bruce Wayne.

it's the same throughout the series for every character incarnation. Ledger made a great sociopath. he still wasn't Joker. and you're absolutely right about Hathaway: the acting was good, her character was interesting. what she was not was Selina Kyle.

I don't go to a Batman movie to see a good action flick. I go to see Batman, and christ but I'm glad this trilogy is *over* because the painful disconnect was beginning to exceed even my level of masochism. I'm not sure I even want another live action Batman film, not for a good long while. wouldn't say no to a new animated ( ... )

We'll agree to disagree on that one point since I really managed to enjoy all the Batman movies, even when they had Schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze or Clooney as Batman ( ... )
