- it is based on the comic book from 86, so the now yellow bat is not a new thing, it would be stupid to have, if you dont want to get seen in the dark. The reason for the big fat bat, is because batman said he would rather be shot in the chest instead of the head.
- Badman used gadgets what are the hell are you getting at? The suit against supes, the smoke bombs, the rifle gadgets dude.
- Batman is getting older, therefor new voice. I think Weller did, good with the old and rough batman, while Conroy, does the more classy one.
- You clearly haven not read the comics. Batman does not have guns. He dissaproves of killing. Batman used guns in his early years, and he even killed. Batman did not use guns in this movie for killing purposes, he is actually quite skilled with guns, if you did not know.
- Remember everyone is getting older, so they will sound different. Although, i would rather have Mark Harmill as joker

I can't see that there has been a full explanation of the bat emblem, only that it was in the comic.
The key thing here is that he was wrecking costumes which, don't forget, were fabric, not the armoured costumes of the movies and modern comics. He started out with the yellow oval (which is what he was wearing in the regular comics at the time DKR originally came out, and which could therefor be taken as the costume he had been wearing when he retired 10 years before DKR): that costume got ruined when he was shot in the (armoured) emblem. So he switched to the round emblem, which was the previous costume in the comics. That one got all slashed up in the fight with the Mutant leader, so he switched to the plain black bat, his first costume. This was one of the little touches I loved in the comic. -

4.Gun's, Batman hates guns so why is there a scene with him and a rifle
He only used the rifle to fire a grappling line between buildings. He explains his disdain for firearms when talking to the Sons of Batman in Part 2, and breaks a rifle in half.
In the comic, he
does
use a gun he took off of a Mutant to shoot another Mutant, but that was a desperate hostage situation where a baby was being held with a gun to his head by the person Batman shoots. As this is an older, far more cynical and less forgiving Batman, it's conceivable that with an innocent baby's life at stake he decided to use a gun
just this once
. In the film, the shooting is changed to Batman just using the rifle butt to knock her out.
He uses guns and explosive rounds while driving the Batmobile, but it's revealed when he's downed all of the targets except the leader that they were rubber bullets ("All this metal, and you don't even use it to kill!"). So, by and large, Batman's disdain for firearms remains.
I mean, really, how many times will you look under Jabba's manboobs? -

Some people here seem to think that you can't have an opinion on this film if you haven't read the source material. I guess they should've packaged it with the novel, then, because as we know, films aren't supposed to work as stand-alone experiences
Anyway, some thoughts:
I did end up liking the new Robin AND the way Batman accepts her. Just that smile on Batman's face, seeing a young, bright and energetic person willing to fight crime with the "old" man. The decision felt like it was partly nostalgia, partly appreciation, and maybe Batman even felt that it was fate. Anyway, I haven't seen part 2 yet so it remains to be seen if Batman will live to regret the decision (likely).
Peter Weller doing Batman's voice was fine. I love Weller's voice, and it did fit this version of Batman.
Harvey Dent was handled well, considering how little time was used on him. Really liked the symbolism of the face surgery.
Batman handling the bolt action rifle grappling hook looked really fitting. An old gun model just goes together with this Batman, and sometimes I don't mind if things are done just for cosmetics.
The Joker and his voice I think I'll just watch part 2 before an opinion
The ending was to be expected, but that's just what makes it good. For someone like me, who hasn't read the novel, it felt like the film left on the notion of "Fanservice ahead!"
