6. His Fighting Style Is Much More Vicious And Savage
As evidenced by the final trailer before the movie's general release, we see a snippet of Batman taking down a group of thugs in a warehouse, and he is VICIOUS while he does it. You can almost feel the cracking of the broken bones as he picks off the heavily armed thugs one by one. This harks back to the idea that this is a war-beaten veteran of the crimefighting schtick; he is a vigilante who has had to adapt his fighting style into something so savage that A) He hammers his point home to the criminals of Gotham that they won't walk away after an encounter with him, and B) He has encountered that many different forms of combat in his years of crimefighting, that he has developed a style completely unto his own, and near-impossible to fight back against. In Nolan's movies we saw a new style of fighting called the Keysi Fighting Method employed by Christian Bale. Whilst it was very practical in that it used every part of the body to combat an assailant, it felt all too safe and choreographed to be a true representation of the way Batman would really fight. Keaton was never really afforded a true fight against someone of his match in Burton's movies; he either just got beaten up, or was in hilariously mismatched bouts against people he could swat away like a fly. With Affleck, you feel that if you were to get on the wrong side of his Bat, you may as well have an ambulance ready to pick up what's left of your broken body.
