Dark Knight smoked this one. It was still pretty good, but an hour too long.

More than one person, in this very thread, a week or so ago.
Yes
I would still give TDK an A+ and this movie an A-.
The story and villain are still superior in TDK.
This movie has more exciting/epic Batman moments and fight scenes.

That's a great way to put it. Agreed.

Dark Knight is my favorite movie of all time. Agreed but this was still bad***. Pattinson did a good job

I thought he did great as Batman, and okay as Bruce. I like Bale's version of Bruce better.
Upped to $128.5M. Wouldn't be surprised to see it overperform a bit today to hit 130.
$249M global and yet to open in China.

Man I simply don't find Zoe Kravitz attractive at all
I have to strongly disagree
Agree with OP. Not attracted.
There have been some fine actresses in the Batman franchise, although that was a department that Nolan's series was a little light on beyond Anne Hathaway for me. Would put ZK in my top 3 with Pfeiffer and straight hair Kidman.
How many man hours do you think goes in to a movie like this?
$134 million opening weekend (domestic)

How long do you want to ignore this user?

Hathaway will be my #1 CW for the foreseeable future.
Kravitz is hot as ****

$57M Friday, looking at $120M+ opening. (I think it finishes closer to $140M.)
Bam. Not 140, but much closer to that.
The GCPD spin-off show is now an Arkham Asylum show on HBO Max
Lots of great insight and comments here.
Also looks like I'm in a minute (possibly singular) minority that continues to be disappointed that we never get as big a human to play Bruce/Bat as I remember from the comics. Pattinson is 6'1" so close on that front, but he seems distractingly skinny. I've always thought of someone more JJ Watt size or Ray Childress proportion. Oh well.
Great story.
Favorite part is the musical score.
More jump scares than I expected.
I like that riddler turned out to be more baby faced than expected. Adds to the creepy factor.
Catwoman's face gouge was the most gruesome moment for me.

Batman is 6'2" in the comics. Pattinson is 6'1".
Funnily enough, the most Batman-like actor in height and weight has been Adam West.
The gouge was an awesome Long Halloween moment.

If I were to venture a guess, Pattinson will be both bigger / more jacked, and more clean cut in the sequel.
Pattinson says he lurks/posts on "the forums."
So, Pattinson on TexAgs confirmed.

Seriously, though, this entire cast seems cool as sh*t.
Pretty funny that Pattinson reads fan forums.
Well now I can't be satisfied until I see a movie with Ray Childress as Batman.jackie childs said:obviously not JJ or childress, but batfleck was pretty damn bigAggie Joe 93 said:

"HELLO GOTHAM CITY, C'MON OUT TO LAWRENCE MARSHALL!"
"Alfred, prepare my suit…"
"Is it the bat-signal sir?"
"No… the clobber line"
"Is it the bat-signal sir?"
"No… the clobber line"
I haven't heard or thought of the clobber line in, like, 17 years. Holy sh*t.
Clearly you need take a little trip ON THE BYPASS.TCTTS said:

Amazing.
Never seen Paul Dano out his bat**** roles and dude seems chill as hell
Fighting Texas Aggie Class of 2012
so i'm not really up on actual DC Comics, but all the pods that i listen to keep referring to Hush, Year One and The Long Halloween as key batman comics.
anybody actually read those? are they worth the read?

I've read everything from 1987 to present, and yes they are.
My favorites in reading order:
Year One, The Long Halloween, Dark Victory, Ego, Hush, and Court of Owls (probably want to read City of Owls for the conclusion). These are pure classics.
Others (not in order) include Batman Universe, The Imposter, The Man Who Laughs, Under the Red Hood, No Man's Land, the Knightfall trilogy, The Killing Joke, Murderer and Fugitive, The Dark Knight Returns, anything by Paul Dini, anything by Grant Morrison, anything by Scott Snyder, anything by Tom King.
You really can't go wrong with any modern Batman stories
Whatever you do, just stay far, far, far, far away from All Star Batman & Robin the Boy Wonder. Just don't even. Stay away. Also stay away from The Dark Knight Returns sequels. 9/11 really ****ed up Frank Miller's mind.
This box set has Year One, Long Halloween, and Ego

A good essential reading order is
Year One, The Man Who Laughs, The Long Halloween, Dark Victory, Ego, A Death in the Family (or just know that Jason Todd Robin dies), Hush, Under the Red Hood, and Court of Owls.
