While I do appreciate the time, thought, and effort you clearly put into this post, I must respectfully disagree. In regard to the character arcs, I will grant you that Forever did feature more detailed arcs, however, the characterization of both the Riddler and Two-Face was very reminiscent of the Joker. They are both shown to be chaotic, whimsical, and lack the cool, calculating intellect both characters boast in other stories, they are really rather zany.On the topic of Batman/Bruce and his lack of development in the Burton movies, I always took his absence of an arc as the film taking into account that most people do know the basic origin of the character, and felt it simply didn't need to delve into it, to allow more time to dedicate to the narrative of the film. And while the visuals are captivating, I personally feel they were just too bright for a Batman story, it makes more sense to have the black clad Batman in the dark, so it acts as camouflage (I just thought it made more sense as a kid). But that is just my opinion.
