it was good.

pano dano's performance and overall role was kinda whatever, but the trailers didn't excite me anyway. his actual motivation was good though, totally made sense and progressed batman's character arc. his final act of flooding the city and planning to kill hundreds, maybe thousands of random civilians didn't make sense but they needed something HUGE i guess.

i think people are bothered that there's not much bruce wayne in this movie but that's one of it's strengths. bruce wayne's non-batman life isn't interesting.

selina/cat was one of the best parts of the movie and i like that they made it a love story between her and batman.

i was never fully loving it but i liked it pretty much all the way through. people saying the third act is unnecessary are just wrong. if you're gonna cut something out of this to make it shorter, you can cut some of the detective stuff on what riddler's up to because none of it is that clever apart from the first one. el rata whatever was actually kind of stupid, now that i think about it.

but mostly the slow pace and (for a comic movie) sparse action was good. this is about the right level of realistic reimagining for batman world, i think. joker was just boring until the last 20 minutes.
