No spoilers.

My boyfriend put this on from streaming site the other night.

Whoever the wise ass was he ramped up the brightness 575% and it was like watching Batman in Disneyland. It looked and was ridiculous. I laughed. I got it.
I didn’t catch a moment of the film it was just too funny.

This was boring except for the car chase in the middle.

This was ok. Way too long and overstuffed, but still felt too slow somehow.

I know it's not possible for everyone but IMAX really is the best way to have seen this. It's a tricky prospect for movies like this and Dune, especially, when the best possible viewing experience is so limited to the initial release window. I'd like to see an evolution of the theater experience that involves some type of on-demand option. Five years from now, let me order up the full IMAX experience for three hours. Maybe VR is the future here?

Ugh, the closest IMAX theater is 2 hours away.

This movie was awesome.. love to see a detective batman movie

I really liked all the characters (RP as Bruce kinda still remains to be seen).. esp penguin

2 problems.. minor.. was Falcone catwomans dad in the comics? Also I don't get the riddler figuring out bruce was bats n that kinda going absolutely nowhere

Am I an asshole for kinda seeing the riddler as an antihero as opposed to a villain? Well up until the ending fiasco anyways

There are some comics where it is heavily implied (if not stated outright) that Falcone is Selina's father, yes.

Maybe I got it wrong, but I thought the Riddler didn't actually figure out Bruce was Batman. Which I thought was a fantastic subversion of what appeared to be an obvious trope. The "twist" was that we thought he knew, but he didn't.

Most good villains have something in them that's relatable. So, no, you're not a asshole.

Between the stuff found at the crine scene n the interrogation part it seemed so

Was he shooting his name only because he's pissed at him for surviving the bomb meant for him?

yeah I think so; I feel like Riddler was confiding in Batman, about his biggest enemy, as Batman's biggest stan

which is strangely kind of cute

The Riddler doesn't seem like he's worried about being accidentally TMI, he just wants someone to listen, which might prove as his undoing

No meaning like if someone out there was killing off corrupt politicians the media would portray them as a terrorist yet it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world
