this kind of batman is not the cup of tea for those who loves batman in noir and Gothic atmosphere, and with more wit in it as well.. its no Gothic nor "dark" as in Burton's style, OK.. Nolan's version was going to be different of course, but is more shallow and feels more plastic.. its like a G.I.Joe film with all those machines..Nolan took Batman to a new direction, yes.. for those who enjoyed other Nolan batman versions, will enjoy this,too.. but to me, its lacking of something.. something missing in visuals, story, characters and talks.. and it is still predictable for some extend. Thanksfully a trilogy has been completed now so we might get to see another versions of Batman. like happened with spider-man and the amazing spider man
