I thought that was a good fight actually, even if Batman is getting a bit on by that time. Then again, I am used to fights in classic Star Trek where the main characters were usually above 50. :lol

By those standards, it was fine, but such a static, sluggish fight scene had no place in today's superhero cinema.

I felt it did fit in the context of Nolan's brawl-like realism, but I too was not a huge fan of this style. There's a place for realism but even for Batman I'd like to see some fancy stuff.

It could have worked fine, if they had shot it in an interesting fashion or given any sense of intensity or brutality, but the camera just slowly bobbed around two static figures wailing on each other with impactless and sluggish hits.

Gotta agree with you, the fights with Bane were rather boring to watch, they simply felt badly done.

Bane sucked period. His design looked stupid. That voice was stupid. He was taken down in a really shit fashion. None of the fights with him were interesting. He basically was Bane only in name, Bane is a shit character in the comics as well, and the fact that I missed comics Bane while watching this says everything.

Worst of all is I'm a huge Hardy fan, love the man and his acting, but he was completely wasted here. Nolan is such an overrated director it's unreal.

Bane is actually a lot better in the comics, being of genius intellect as well as having the physique of a super human.
Honestly, Bane is the better nemesis to Batman, but people just latched onto the Joker.

I never cared for him, too 90s for me, but like I say I adore him compared to whatever the fuck Nolan aborted.

I think one thing most of can agree on is that the 1989 Burton Batmobile is amazing.

Designs may be good and all but in terms of story, characters and plot pacing I think Burton's "Batman" films are just as awful as Schumacher's.
