Where was Batman in this movie?

Rating: 1/10 (7 August 2012)

I'll start by saying I loved "The Dark Knight" and have watched it 3 times. But this was the worst Batman movie I've seen. Worse than Batman & Robin.
This movie was 3 hours long. At an estimate, there is probably about 20 minutes of Batman in costume. Of that time, he spends about 15 minutes being emotional, 3 minutes getting his ass kicked and 2 minutes kicking ass. The last part was what I wanted in a Batman movie - at least some of it.
The characters are cheesy, the plot predictable and the bad guys are just annoying. There is so much monologue from Bane (the antagonist) in the movie that I stopped listening to him.
Every time you think the movie is about to pick up and get exciting, it's almost like the director will instantly let you back down in a "just teasing" kind of way, and the movie goes back to being dull, Bruce Wayne goes back to being an emotional wuss.
Save your money and 3 hours of your life.
