Honestly, all the D+ shows save Moon Knight are too high imo. The twist villain final episode they keep doing with almost all of them leads to atrocious badly paced finales. No one involved seems to understand how to actually use the medium of television properly.

what part are you questioning? If it’s the action, all 3 Nolan Batman films have terrible action in radically different ways. Begins has fight scenes with overediting and camera spins that are too close up, Dark Knight has incoherent cutting and nonsensical spatial geography issues and really slow lumbering movement, and Rises just sticks a camera in a big wide shot so you can see how bad all of the choreography is.
If it’s the second bit, the 3 Nolan films all have radically different Gotham aesthetics. It goes from slightly heightened and comic book-esque in Begins to slightly seedier Chicago in Dark Knight, to just wide shots of New York in Rises.

See, I felt like Finn already learned that lesson in the first movie
Where? Finn’s placement in 7 is largely squandered and incoherent. He doesn’t struggle with his placement in the conflict beyond the opening, doesn’t really have a strong sense of belonging in the beginning or the end, the only thing that’s really properly established is his friendship with Rey, which 8 builds off of. Like a lot of 8, Finn’s arc feels largely like Johnson trying to cut fat and build something coherent out of the big pile of thoughtless sequel hooks and wasted character beats.

I feel this piece kind of misunderstands the character that it itself is centering around. I didn’t see DJ as so much morally ambiguous but much as apathetically evil. It’s a showcase that the universe itself doesn’t simply reward good and punish evil (which has been a problem with the series in the past), but I took the character’s own philosophy as more of a springboard for Finn to realize that not actively doing good is, in fact, evil and not neutral.

Begins launches the visual style the Nolan movies would be known for
Atrocious editing, consistently awful extras, and terribly put together action sequences?
Although I’m not sure the statement is entirely true anyway. Every Nolan Batman movie looks totally different, right down to the location itself having no real tangible character.

The new Batman movie is the funniest one since the Adam West one. Well, intentionally funny. Dark Knight Rises is an unintentional comedic masterpiece.
