I agree with Jorge, if they cut a lot of fat out of that movie, it would have been better.

BUT NO, LETS HAVE BATMAN AND GORDON TALK FOR HOURS AND BE WRONG ABOUT EVERYTHING.

Sorry, sorry.
it's all about taking its time to let you soak in the vibes.. it worked for me.. too many movies these days are made for people with ADHD

Agree.

Also, the whole moment with Batman fighting the Riddler´s fans was just too long too.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

A movie universe with these actual characters in them requires a little more suspension of disbelief from you, trag. It makes sense if you follow its own logic.
