Read the original books. Bats didn’t look that big and bulky til the last book. In the beginning it was much more naturalistic.
I kind of miss Batman’s inner monologue, but I’m not sure it would work in the format anyway.
Gotta say, I’m really looking forward to this.
Re the inner monologue, I’m glad it isn’t in there. They had it in the Batman: Year One adaptation, and what seemed cool and gritty in the comic book just felt over the top and hokey in an animated feature. Granted, it may have been the actor’s delivery, or my quickly-vanishing regard for Miller’s work. I do think it’s fair to say that animation is a different enough art form that a mere reproduction of the comic book is a missed opportunity.
