6. An Investigation
Im not going to go into my feelings about Nolan abandoning the Worlds Greatest Detective trait, Im starting to move past it now, but suffice to say Batman did very little investigating in the current franchise. Even Tim Burtons movies brushed over Bats keen eye for detection, and we think its about time the movie property finally accepted this as part of the character. In a reboot, wed love to see, quite simply, an investigation. In the comics, some of Batmans coolest moments are during the hunt. Yeah, the ensuing face-off is always a huge pay off, but the anticipation of getting there is what makes the overall Batman experience so textured and satisfying. And what a great way to insert some much needed noir into the franchise (everything could use more noir). Were not talking about turning the whole thing into CSI: Gotham, lets just see Batman using his genius level intellect a little bit. Thats supposed to be his main superpower after all.
