Going from "Man I can't wait for this" to "Enough already, I get it." I'm still looking forward to the film but I have somewhat lowered expectations (I liked but didn't love Batman Begins. In terms of series reboot, I liked Casino Royale better) and I've been actively avoiding all of the clips and hype for the film since I don't want it to be ruined anymore.

I think the stumbling block with Batman is trying to mix the dark mood with the theatricality of it all. Moments like "Who are you?!" "I'm Batman!" from the original or Pfieffer's flipping from an explosion and "Meow" were great IMO and what Batman Begins kind of lacked to me. The movie should be dark but it still needs to be fun.
