I like Pattinson's Batman the best. Although the movie itself went bad in the second half by resorting to cliche Hollywood spectacle.
This is the first time I've read someone dislike the second half of the Batman. Kinda shocked to hear it reduced to "Hollywood spectacle" given the clear ties to the movies main themes and character arcs. It also was a nearly-perfect final act for a Batman movie imho with it not revolving around one villain Batman needs to physically beat up like most of the previous films.
The problem I had was the entire movie had the Riddler fighting corruption for "the little man" and being a counterpoint to Batman's work. Then at the end The Riddler, without warning, turns into a Marvel Villain (tm) where he floods an entire city killing many "little men" he spent his life protecting.
Because the Riddler actually had a valid point regarding the corruption infecting the city's elites. If the scriptwriter had followed this chain of thought, Batman would have ended up fully siding with the Riddler and potentially giving all his money away to fund social progress and equity.
Obviously instead the Riddler went mental and Batman gets to keep his wee belt.
