You are all brain washed sheep

Rating: 3/10 (4 August 2015)

The only reason I give this movie a three is because the portrayal of the joker was interesting. Even then, it wasn't a faithful portrayal. A fresh take, yes. The other installments to the series, I gave a 1.
As a fan of the 80's cartoon, I am dismayed by the success of these movies. Batman's voice is stupid and laughable. It isn't cool. He isn't cool. This franchise tries way too hard and fails. The cell phone eyes? that was retarded. The fact that he has some other guy make most of his gadgets is insulting to the source material. He in no way comes across a great detective or even that smart. In fact, he's pretty stupid in these movies.
All the characters other than the joker are bland. This is terrible, as Batman is one of the most interesting super heroes.
I did not like their version of Alfred at all. It isn't Alfred. It's just Michael Caine playing himself. And in the later installment, they even managed to make Robin boring. He's suppose to be the lighthearted element!
There is little to no humor, which I think is one of the main factors contributing to the why these movies and it's characters seem so bland and contrived. The action...? Bland and forgettable as well.
If I wasn't familiar with the cartoon series, I would have already forgotten about this movie and who everyone is.
I think the only reason this rates higher than Thor the Dark World is because Batman is a better known, more popular character originally. They came so deceivingly close to making a suitable Batman, that they clearly fooled millions.
Well I am here to speak to those less desperate ones with clearer heads. These movies are an over-hyped disappointment. By trying to make Batman "more realistic" they took away the fantastic film noir theme that the world's greatest detective deserves. They turned an intelligent and intimidating character into a unintelligible dimwit with some lackluster fighting skills and a cowl. Any other super hero could outwit and overpower this interpretation of the caped crusader.
Dc should just stick to TV and stop messing up their own characters on the big screen.
The end.
