Bale is unintentionally funny as Batman doing his, now infamous Bat-Voice. More silly than intimidating.

The dialogue has all the subtlety of a sledgehammer and is delivered in the most melodramatic way possible.

Take a shot every time the word "fear" or variation of it is said. You'll be drunk 30 minutes in.

Direction is average at best, shoddy at worst.

But, at least Batman fanboys got what they wanted.
