Well your donkey needs to watch the film again.
He did a couple weeks ago. He still considers it overrated, contrived, pretentious cinematic swill.
If…that’s how you feel but exactly how is a film that isn’t much complex than surface layer bullshit “pretentious”? I mean it’s a little deeper than Batman vs Joker like in Batman 89 but it’s not even as complex as the OT Star Wars films.
I’m not going to get into a big argument over this. All I need say is this: I prefer Batman to have elements of the gothic and/or fantastic in his world, the Nolan films have none of that, I don’t care for what they do have, end of story, end of discussion.
