Wouldn’t it be more accurate if you simply said that you personally didn’t like Nolan’s interpretation of Batman instead of saying that he “fucked up Batman”?

Because apparently on imdb, there are over 500,000 other fellow movie watchers that felt that Nolan’s Dark Knight was deserving of a 8.9/10.

So to be fair, in order for you to say that Nolan had “fucked up Batman”, it has to be the collective opinion of the people as well.

To be honest, I felt that Nolan did a terrific job at Batman. No one really wants any interpretation to be a direct translation from the canon*, especially from something like Batman, who has been done over and over again with multiple canons and origins. Thats why I bought the movie ticket. I didn’t want to see Bob Kane’s Batman. I didn’t want to see Frank Miller’s Batman. I didn’t want to see Tim Burton’s Batman. I wanted to see Christopher Nolan’s Batman.

Your first post didn’t make much sense to me. It was as if you had not seen Nolan’s Batman Begins. The average American already knows the Batman origin, but Nolan still made it the point of the entire movie. His motivations where blatantly clear in Batman Begins. The entire movie was based around Bruce Wayne wanting to exact revenge because of his parent’s death, his journey to become a skilled warrior, the defining moments that makes it clear to the audience on what lines Bruce is unwilling to cross, the conquering of a fear which becomes the incorruptible symbol of Batman.

So I don’t really understand why you said the characters “lacked any real motivation”. Motivation was the entire point of the movie.

*Unless of course being directly true to the source material is the main objective, where there is only one canon that is held deeply in high regard such as the Watchmen movie.
