I might be in the minority feeling that Dano's performance was essentially meth Joker. The prison interrogation scene was some powerful overacting and I couldn't wait for it to end. Just couldn't take him seriously throughout the film.

Otherwise I really enjoyed the layered, detective-style Batman story, and you could see the film pay homage to almost every Batman film before it.

My favorite was the score, but Something in the Way was always one of my favorite Nirvana songs and the guitar riffs at certain points really set that gothic, brooding mood.

EDIT: Also want to add that the Batmobile tease and reveal was brilliantly done.
Ya I don't understand the praise for Dano, he was alright when he was acting normally but when he tried to go full psychopath with Riddler it was just cheesy, he doesn't have the range to pull that off

Overall I found the movie pretty average. There were some good scenes (Batmobile reveal and chase, dark hallway fight), but the movie was a good 30 minutes too long and needed more work in the editing room. Also hated Pattinson's emo Bruce Wayne
