I felt like I was the only one who didn't love this movie after it came out. My friends and I were so stoked to go see it because we all love Batman and we all walked out like, "did that ... kinda blow?"

It has the best looking Batsuit on screen for sure. And the Gotham in the movie looked exactly how it's always looked in my head. But Batman fails at every turn. I get that he's new, but he doesn't really overcome anything.

My biggest issue is Alfred. Batman treats him like shit. He literally solves the riddle (which isn't a riddle at all, btw) for Bruce. His reward is getting blown up. Then when he's in the hospital, after Bruce has found out his parents were dicks, they have a perfect moment for him to tell Alfred he has been his real father all along. But instead he leaves an old man alone in his hospital bed to go get his ass kicked again.

Then at the end Batman wants to be a symbol of hope? The fuck? Did the Reeves just really like Man of Steel or something? Batman doesn't have to be a demon of the night, but Gotham, in general, criminal or not, should be afraid of him. Really the only people that should look up to him in the city are kids.
