Eh, I wouldn't say fighters only ever use what they deem "practical" in fights. Cage or otherwise. Some guys just like to look cool, and in the case of UFC there are guys in there like Lyoto Machida and Anderson Silva that do completely orthodox and generally unrecommended techniques for fighting(such as spin kick, which are probably the most telegraphed a strike you can come up with and thus dangerous because they can be easily defended against if one is looking for it and you have to turn your back, you damn well better be fast or have your opponent stunned or distracted to set up for it... the Bat could do that, sure, but when he's in the middle of a goon dog pile it becomes a whole different ball game and quite frankly, in BB and TDK he's literally jumping into dog piles of goons and taking them out in the most energy efficient and effective manner for the situation), but so many of the rest of the UFC roster are training primarily BJJ or wrestling and striking becomes an addendum in their training they aren't expecting it. I mean, Silva knocked out Vitor Belfort with a front kick to the chin. That's not a normal application of that kick, it's usually a stunner. But for whatever reason he told people that Steven Seagal taught it to him despite it being a Muay Thai kick that Silva has surely been training since he was a kid. I've seen Cung Le use spinning back kicks for knockouts in Strikeforce, but again... no one in that arena is expecting that and it's a favorite of Cung's. It's not necessarily one of the most effective weapons in the martial artist's arsenal because it is so clearly telegraphed. And it's not particularly effective in close quarters either. The majority of knockouts in MMA come from fists or ground and pound. Even from experienced kickers. Why? Because that's the most effective means.
The entire point to this conversation, was that You and Saint originally said that spin kicks aren't ever used in real fights, and are for show only. Plus, I find it ridiculous to try and debate what kind of kick is more energy efficient/effective, when not only is this a fictional character, but a movie. Why would we be talking about energy efficiency, when the actor playing Batman, is wearing a 50 pound suit? I think you're missing the point.....
Why would Batman use batarangs to try and take out enemies who have guns? Because he's a fictional character, and it looks cool.
How could he use a compact grapple gun to lift himself up hundreds of feet onto buildings? Because he's a fictional character, and it looks cool.
Why would Batman spin kick an enemy? Because he's the goddamn Batman, and it looks cool.
The BB and TDK fights aren't perfect, but to argue that they are boring just because you can't see what's going on because you can't pick it apart with an eye for martial detail isn't the fault of the movie.
I never once said that, nor did I allude that at all. My point, is that I want to see more variety in the fight scenes, besides punch, punch, elbow, punch. Hell, I'm not even saying we need spin kicks(I would like that, though), I'm just saying I want some variety.
Also, I said I would like the choreography to be better as well, because in some scenes, we would see enemies fall over, before Batman even touched them. Or maybe he was so fast, and I have such an untrained eye, that maybe I missed it?

), but I never considered that one a featured fight. The fight part of it is so swift... it's barely a few seconds of fisticuffs, the rest is breaking glass, gunfire, explosions and a skyhook. The penthouse fight, the finale fight, and the opening fight all look great to me.
