A demonstration of how tricky it is to balance between comic book and film. Of all the Batman adaptations this one is by the far the most Batman, but as a film it comes of as an overlong, po-faced, self important mixture of The Crow and Seven. The running time issue could easily be fixed if slow, sad Batman could just figure out how to walk across a room with a bit of pace, but comic book Batman loves a leisurely amble whilst he growls about vengeance and justice. It is a tricky balance.
