The Dark Knight Rises: 20 Blunders in Chris Nolan’s Trilogy

15. The Gracelessness

Batman is a graceful character. He€™s epitomized throughout his near decade long existence as a character that flows across the panels. Sometimes all we€™ll see is the swirling cape but that€™s enough, we know he€™s there, watching, waiting, planning. Do you ever remember Batman showing the remotest iota of grace even once during the entire franchise? Throughout Batman Begins, we barely saw him in action. Nolan did a semi-decent job of making him seem everywhere at once and even the takedowns felt Batmanesque - although it was through the use of clever editing trickery (a quick flash of black and a few sound effects here and there). But alas, the more and more I saw of Batman, the less and less graceful he seemed €“ the suit being just too difficult for Bale to move in - culminating in The Dark Knight Rises, where I honest god felt like I could€™ve outmanoeuvred him if I really had to. This really isn€™t the type of thought that a representation of Batman should conjure in the minds of his fans, am I wrong?
