To start, I loved this film. It wasn't perfect, but it was a top tier superhero film that leaned heavily into the detective aspect of Batman's lore. The mood was oppressive in how dark it was, the characters all flawed in their own ways, and world felt real & lived in. Pattinson was surprisingly a great Batman and Kravitz was an inspired Catwoman. The rest of the cast was also top notch, with Dano a terrifying villain. The few things I didn't like we're the obvious setups for sequels or TV shows or whatnot. Is it just not possible to have a self-contained movie any more? Barring those details, the hype is warranted. This is a hell of a film. Easily worth the 3 hour investment.
