There is a Difference between Cynical and Depressing. There is a Difference between Dark and Dull. There is a Difference between Gotham City and New York City.

What has Happened to Batman in this Film? That Cool, Stylish, Mysterious, Haunted, Brooding, Anti-Hero that, at its Best, is an Art-Deco meets Noir meets Pulp Creation.

What has Happened to Batman in this Film? That Cool, Stylish, Mysterious, Haunted, Brooding, Anti-Hero that, at its Best, is an Art-Deco meets Noir meets Pulp Creation.

All of that is Siphoned away to Make way for this Unstylish, Long and Boring Gab-Fest about Modern Angst like Terrorism and Financial Fat Cats.

This is a Meandering, Muddled Mess of a Movie that Under Utilizes Batman and brings forth a Mumbling Hulk of a Villain that is Void of anything but Brute Force. This is a Lifeless Movie.

Catwoman is the only Character that seems to have a Heartbeat and is Not Mentally Scarred and has a Biting, Satirical Sense of Humor. When She Barbs is the only time the Movie Rises above the Glum and Gloom in this Disappointing End to the Director's Trilogy.

The Fight Scenes between Batman and Bane are Boring and Lame. You would think that Batman, suffering from a Back Break and a Blown Knee, would Resort to some Bat-Gadgets.

No, its just a WWE Slug-Fest. The Clunky Bat-Plane is another Step Down from the Clunky Batmobile in its Lack of Cool and is a Square, Flight-Unfriendly, Ugly looking Thing.

Overall, this is a Dud. The Bat-Suit is the only thing on Screen that is Worthy of the Batman. The rest is a Laborious Misuse of the Dark Knight, The Caped Crusader, the Super-Hero that is Super-Powerless. This Comic Book Character that is Deserving of so Much More.
