Yes I would say not understanding one of your lead characters is "shoddy" scriptwriting. Honestly it gets a lot wrong about Superman too. This isn't the first "dark" version of Batman, lol, Hollywood has been doing dark Batman since 1989 and profiting handsomely off it. This is the first psychotic mass murdering, gun totting Batman though. I don't see that as neccessarily true to the character at all though. In this movie if Clark's mother was named anything but Martha, he wouldn't been blugdeoned to death with a freaking dirty bathroom sink by Batman, lol. Even in the Dark Knight Returns comic, Batman is never that much of a murdering nut job (he fights Superman but uses a low does of Kyrptonite to teach Superman a lesson to stay out of his way, but never intends to murder him). If this is the "best" Batman, then IMO a lot of people don't understand this character at all. |
Seems to me like someone has never read The Dark Knight Returns, or watched the animated version, which is what this movie draws from HEAVILY in their portrayal of Batman.
Also, The Dark Knight Returns is credited as the reason why Batman got to be so dark in the last 30 years.
They were very true to the Batman they wanted Affleck to be. He also played it very well.
