But he’s doing some genuinely inventive things with his camera (both in terms of framing and focus), and he’s willing to engage with the character specifically as a vigilante particularly in his early scenes, we have a real sense of how he’s using violence (brutal violence, often) to work out his issues. Robert Pattinson’s emo take is surprisingly effective, Paul Dano’s Riddler is properly creepy, and Zoe Kravitz hits all the right notes as Catwoman – it’s a (gasp) sexy superhero movie, if you can imagine such a thing.
