This movie just didn't do anything for the series.

The writing was lazy and you needed to take great leaps of logic to allow the story line to become acceptable.

The characters really were treated poorly. No real depth was given, and they often seemed force into a certain role rather than look as if they naturally belonged to it.

The end is guaranteed to annoy you. Normally after a Batman movie the audience is buzzing when it leave the theater. There was quite a subdued feel after this one. Nobody seemed terribly excited about the event.

You will have to be a major Batman fan to get anything out of this one.

All in all a rather boring,predictable, and disappointing film.
