I love how batman’s first fight scene isn’t romanticized, no flashy cuts, no overpowering score. Just him beating up the thugs and you can see everything happening

The cinematography is just incredible in this movie. So many shots where I was like “wow, that’s beautiful”. Not to mention, the symbolism behind certain shots. Just a fantastic Batman movie. Top 2 imo.

The opening scene captures Batman’s effect on Gotham and criminals more than any other Batman film ever in my opinion

The interrogation scene where Batman is convinced Riddler knows his secret identity and Riddler is convinced that they're both working together is masterful writing. It's such great reasoning that someone so intelligent like the Riddler wouldn't figure out Batman's secret identity because he hates Bruce Wayne so much he'd never compared them to each other. My absolute favorite scene in the whole movie. Absolutely loved this Batman series! I hope Totally Not Mark visits non-anime things more often!

My favorite little detail was after Gordon and batman interrogate the penguin they leave him there, cuffed, waddling. Like a penguin!

It's one of the few films I've decided to see in theaters in the past few years and it was worth it, Pattinson's performance was outstanding, he's arguably in my top 2 Batmans of all time now, only below Bale's Batman.

Nolan's movies touched on Bruce's wealth as an issue. Rachel tells him to look past his own suffering, Falcone even calls him out for his privilege in spite of his parents being killed. He actively becomes a criminal to better understand crime and poverty. He tells Ra's "The first time I stole so that I wouldn't starve, yes. I lost many assumptions about the simple nature of right and wrong." He eventually realized that he can use him money to better fight crime.

You hit the nail. None of my friends or coworkers wanted to talk about the fact that even though it wasnt the message he wanted but the riddler won, everything went according to plan except the acceptance from batman.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ampuvFFttVM&t=790">13:10</a> i think the city being flooded is a fantastic callback to the opening dialogue by bruce's narration, about how he feels he is the city suffering under its own weight. having both the city and bruce be baptized in the water and rebirth with new found hope is perfect.

I just really like that when he finally reaches the top of the building during the police chase, he stops, and hyperventilates. That is such a good detail SHOWING the audience he's a young inexperienced Batman. I love it.

As much as the third act quite literally explodes to a much larger proportion, I’m glad it still keeps the themes of Bruce’s character arc at the forefront. We see him fully understand that his actions have in part created this mess then make a conscious choice to become more than vengeance. We also get hints with the presumptive venom injection that he will still have personal demons to face in future films.  It’s honestly one of the best superhero film third acts since it actually has character growth happening versus being just a pure slugfest.
