It seems like they prioritised the action of the film, but I very much enjoyed the action it felt very cohesive and well-planned. But even in the isolated fighting sequences; Bale's suit felt quite bulky and for a certain reason it doesn't feel like someone in such a suit could fight crime. Additionally, this impulsive prioritisation affected an integral part of the trilogy "the story". I am glad the story over arcs in each film consequences for the character. From the transition between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, Bruce must carry the mantle of Batman. It's now a responsibility for him to not dismiss his heroic duties. The transition between The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises shows the consequences of being Batman. Which is losing a loved one and self-inflicted pain as he used the identity of The Batman to release his frustration and anger. Bruce soon realises that this is a mistake that he's been making, The Batman. is an identity that inspires hope not fear into others' eyes.
But now I will speak about what I dislike in The Batman, Christian Bale's performance as Bruce Wayne. My first point is the fact that he "over-acted", Christian Bale is an amazing actor but he simply was not fit to play Bruce Wayne/The Batman. One part that he didn't quite understand is that they are separate identities from one another. For example, there's a link between Spider-Man and Peter Parker, both carry the same values and ideologies. They are charismatic and share very similar personality traits. But Batman and Bruce Wayne, are two completely different entities, Batman is a cold, self-kept, reliant figure. Bruce Wayne is an outgoing, cheery, egotistical individual. Both the words "figure and individual" are what distinguish these two identities among many other factors.
