I think it's worse than B&R in several ways, and much, much better in several others.
It has some great sequences and performances. B&R does not have those.
However, B&R was at least semi-coherent and wasn't an absolute snooze-fest.
My sentiments exactly. As annoying and infuriating as B&R was, it was NOT pretentiously insisting it was the definitive version of the characters, the only one that made sense, or erroneously comparing how close it is to a fan-favourite seminal work. And then proving itself itself completely wrong on all counts.
Where B&R went wrong was in assuming people wanted Batman '66 on the big screen.
We need a talented screenwriter who understands the basis for the popularity of these characters.
We need a talented director who is a fan of these characters, preferably one that can not only look at pictures in a comic book, but comprehend the words, so he doesn't embarrass himself and WB every time he opens mouth to explain the history of the character and his own delusion of what happened in seminal works
And Zack can be the set dresser and direct the action sequences, under tight supervision of course.
