    Nuanced character development of a main character superhero—hard to pull off. Thank god they made Bruce Wayne weird (he would be). Zoe Kravitz cat woman is for bisexual women and straight men who wear carpenter jackets to art museums (I dare you to try manual labor). Wish there had been a sex scene tbh. Mask can stay on.

    - Robert Pattinson voice is …. so high?? (Alarming having just watched the batman) 
    - humanity sucks blah blah
