Although the movie was long, a suspenseful aura was always present, and the movie never stalled. Surely the darkest of all the DC comic movies, the PG-13 rating spared us from unnecessary gore. The imagination is always more powerful and lasting than the eyes anyway. The 3-4 consectuive stories within the movie, could have been trimmed to shorten the movie length, but when they are this good- why would you?
