The movie was way too long, at least 1/2 hour could have been cut. The director was trying to show family and character history, but dwelled too much on these concepts. When people go to a Batman flick, they want action, action and more action. I believe you did need some backround to set up certain characters. The special effects were great and the new bat flyer was cool. Anne Hathaway stole the show. She is a beauty and the Cat costume was very" fitting" indeed. The senior circuit members, Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine held their own with there usual classic acting skills in evidence.
Cons too complex, slow, some actors were very good others so so.
