Too long. If you cannot tell the story in under two hours and make it interesting, its not worth telling.

I had no real empathy for any of the characters, including "Batman." I think Levitt could have made quite a good "Joker", if brought back, never a "Robin" though.

Anne Hathaway, passable but not as engaging as say,Moretz from "Kick-Ass?"

Hardy was quite good as "Bane" but not a patch on Ledger. His Sean Connery speaking through a blender was most amusing.

I think Caine was wasted, and his crying old man act, we only need to see this once per film Michael.

The film has become almost a blur in my memory and at an estimated $25000000 dollars, that really shouldn't be the case.
