Paul Dano's gas mask Riddler is an embarrassing attempt to recapture Heath Ledger's maniacal Joker. Matt Reeves is without a vision. It's time for Batman to take a new direction.

But it's not the canon we're worried about, it's the scenarios themselves modeled after various scenes from each of the three movies, with sometimes the only punchline being how well they recreated it just to make…
