A fair number of absurd situations and moments, the result of nonsensical writing, bring this movie down a notch or two. It's passibly entertaining if you don't examine it too closely. For the record, Batman does not have superhuman powers, so showing him literally breaking a sizable tree in half with one kick, and punching through a 2-ft cubic block of bricks with one swoop of a bare hand, is just dumb. Other moments that are even more absurd I can't give away because they would be spoilers. Suffice it to say, again, the movie is entertaining enough; it's just not a particularly good script.
