I will only applaud the amazing soundtrack and action scenes

Rating: 4/10 (19 October 2012)

With that said I must say as a life long fan of Batman and DC Comics this movie did nothing to make me like it. Bane was surprisingly flat in character, didn't live up to my expectations that I have from the comics and TV series and animated movies.
Catwoman was horrible. The cast for her was horrid as I had foreseen it would be. Anne Hathaway got nothing on Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman. Where was the sexual tension that has always been there between Batman and Catwoman I ask? It was all wasted on hidden identity Talia Al Ghul, who I might add was a horrible written character.
Sure Talia and Bruce had a short lived romance flick but it was over just like that. And what is the thing about Talia 'controlling' the whole action against Gotham and Batman? Moving on...
Alfred Pennyworth was ruined in this movie. The Alfred Pennyworth DC Comics has made and everyone loves as the most loyal butler and friend to Wayne ups and leaves because his feelings are hurt, because Bruce doesn't want to have a family and live on as if nothing ever happened in his life? What the hell? I love the cast of Alfred however but the script ruined the most likable character in Batman's universe.
Do not get me started on John Blake appearing to be the new Robin. That is so wrong on many levels. All DC fans knows it was Dick Grayson, Jason Todd and then Tim Drake who carried the mantle of Robin, Batman's sidekick. I know Bale didn't want to be in a movie with Robin in it but that was a lazy way to bring in a Robin and then not using one of the original Robins.
And last but not least... Bruce giving up the mantle as Batman to have a life with Selina??????! There's no words how wrong that is on so many levels. All DC fans knows that Bruce would never, ever give up being Batman until he was damned sure Gotham was free of lunatics and the harsh crime roaming there. The ending was half done and it seems like Nolan just wanted his Batman project to be over and done with because he absolutely failed on so many levels on showing what the Batman is all about.
With all the negative things said I loved the action scenes. The few scenes with Batman was lame, but otherwise okay. As always the soundtrack was a great hit. We get the tension building and chaos raging. The music itself told a better story than the movie itself.
