"Some days, you just can't get rid of a bomb!" Classic.Honestly at this point I'm so sick of gloomy, dour Batmans that are all fundamentally retellings of oh-so-serious Frank Miller Batman that, all considerations of objective quality aside, Batman '66 is the only one I'd want to watch again anytime soon. Just give me grey tights, a blue cowl, no time spent on an origin story, and a movie that takes things as seriously as as a billionaire who dresses up as a bat to fight gimmicky villains should be taken.
For me, I'm glad to have a different genre of movie than the 40 quadrillion Marvel films. Those films are fine, but not every film has to be like them. There's plenty of room for other genres of movie too. My taste in movies is fairly wide -- I enjoy gangster movies, comedies, hard-sci fi, space opera, quippy superheroes, noir detective stories, some horror, thrillers, all sorts.Honestly at this point I'm so sick of gloomy, dour Batmans that are all fundamentally retellings of oh-so-serious Frank Miller Batman that, all considerations of objective quality aside, Batman '66 is the only one I'd want to watch again anytime soon.

about the only good thing from that movie imo"Some days, you just can't get rid of a bomb!" Classic.
Even with my doubts regarding Pattinson I'll need to see this, based on your description. Batman's origins are as "The World's Greatest Detective." He slowly became all about gadgets and punching, over the years. It would be nice to get back to the early comics Batman. Maybe even a little of the radio and movie serials Batman.For me, I'm glad to have a different genre of movie than the 40 quadrillion Marvel films.

This is a noir detective story. It happens to also be a Batman film. It's Seven crossed with Bladerunner crossed with Taxi Driver, complete with voiceovers by the protagonist. Sure, that's not for everybody, but it's 100% valid, and it makes for a very good movie.
If I want quips and bright colours, I have a thousand awesome Marvel movies to watch. I'm glad that this can exist, too.
There's some punching, of course. No gadgets really (except one notable exception) -- it's all stuff he cobbled together himself. Even the Batmobile is a souped up regular car, not a sci-fi thing.Even with my doubts regarding Pattinson I'll need to see this, based on your description.
