The Nolan movies had a good combination of real life day and night

the last Batmans went full gothic dark gloomy vibes

makes the movie feel less grounded in real world like Nolans movies

We've already had an entire high-quality trilogy dedicated to the notion of 'Batman in the real world,' and it's time for a change of tone. There's a lot of different (and perfectly valid) ways to portray the character and the world around him, and it's no good getting stuck in a rut.

The last trailer for The Batman definitely piqued my interests, and I'm welcoming the dark, gritty, edgy tone. I'd like to see them make a genuine effort to portray Bats like he was in The Dark Knight Returns: a self-important, overly poetic, borderline psychotic crusader waging a brutal holy war on crime. Batman 1989 / Batman Returns and BvS made various attempts at this, but the former movies still had a little too much camp in them, and apart from one standout fight scene, the latter only referenced TDKR superficially. I don't know if that's what they're going for in this movie, and I don't know how well it would succeed even if they tried it, but I'm eager to give the movie a chance and see how it turns out.
