(caution, spoilers possible in this thread)

So I saw it today and I must say that having to stick to a PG-13 rating literally KILLED any chance of it being entertaining for me.

I expected the "darker" batman story we were promised, and instead got something closer to Sisterhood of the Traveling Superheros.
Not that it was flaky, but more so that it was too much character development, and not enough follow through.
A character would be embellished, but not take that extra step.

The exception obviously was the joker.
Heath was excellent. Not Oscar material, but decent enough.

And to kill-off the female lead? cmon, totally unnecessary.

Now, as far as the vfx was concerned, TOTALLY AWESOME!

Gorgeous color, mattes and extensions were seamless.

Framestore and many others did an excellent job.

Ok, your thoughts?
