Interesting that they're not teasing any of the monsters.

If this is the best footage that they have so far to put in a preview, that is a really really bad sign

if he wrote and produced The Odyssey - it will not be all that good.

The mistake critics make is assuming the screenplay is intended as a literary object. It isn’t imo. It’s instrumental writing. Nolan’s scripts are not meant to persuade through prose; they are meant to survive translation into image, duration, and montage. What looks like bad writing on the page is in fact intentional austerity, a stripping away of anything that would interfere with structural clarity once the Film enters motion. The characters are thin because thickness would be catastrophic. This film does not want psychology; it wants operability. Batman is not underwritten imo. He is deliberately depersonalized into a civic symbol. The Joker is not shallow fwiw. He is a destabilizing variable, closer to a theorem than a man. Demanding depth from him misunderstands his function entirely. Yes, Dent turns too fast. But that speed is not incompetence; it’s refusal. The film rejects the bourgeois fantasy that moral collapse must be slow, intimate, and cathartic. It asserts instead that legitimacy is fragile, that institutions fail abruptly, and that chaos does not wait for character development. IOW, the screenplay is “bad” in precisely the ways required for the film to exist. A more elegant, humane, psychologically persuasive script would have softened the argument. It would have reintroduced comfort. It would have lied. Nolan sacrifices the page to preserve the structure. That tradeoff produces a script that reads crude, even amateurish, to people trained to equate polish with intelligence. But the ugliness is load-bearing. Remove it, and the film collapses into just another well-written nothing imo.
