So... I had such high hopes for this movie. The trailer looked absolutely incredible. I was so excited I went to an early access screening in IMAX, just to see it 2 days early!
But... not to be a Nolan fanboy, but the Dark Knight movies absolutely nailed the perfect balance between making Batman a cool, mysterious superhero, while also convincingly existing in the real world. This movie works so hard to make Batman real that he is no longer interesting at all. The one time we see Batman try to fly in this film, he fails spectacularly and crashes HARD.
Want to see a realistic, gritty crime thriller like Zodiac? Watch Zodiac. Want to see Batman? I recommend sticking with the Dark Knight trilogy.
