It’s his entire arc in the movie and it’s amazing how people don’t understand it was purposeful and makes sense given what they were going for.

I have to imagine that it’s less that they don’t understand it was the direction taken with this rendition and more that they just didn’t like it and have trouble articulating that.

Idk. That’s what I hope it is anyway, because there should not be this much gnashing of teeth over what was clearly the goal here: convey a younger, more brash Bat. He’s new to the job and obsessed. He thinks he can solve the city’s problems with his fists.

Don’t be surprised when we see a more polished Bat and involved Bruce Wayne in coming installments.
