The Batman 2022

It's fine. It's not great, it's not bad.

It has the same problem that DC movies always have, it takes the natural ending point and then tacks on an additional 90 minutes for no good reason.

Pros:

Batman is a detective
Batman actually is a detective and a good one
Strong villain with believable motivations
Great actors

Cons:

Batman is a caricature of Batman - overly moody and dark
Bruce Wayne is also moody and dark - a pretty bad alternate identity
The tacked-on arc at the end feels out of place and goofy in addition to dragging the movie out (but had potential)
Redemption/development of Batman seems bland due to the lack of nature
Wayne subplot is uninteresting and distracting

I'd probably watch it again, but it's not a priority
