Even the X-men movies in the early 2000s and the Nolan Trilogy and Gotham tried to me more accurate than this.

I get recent stuff turned Riddler into this hardcore murderer but that's just made him feel more and more like modern Joker.

Amazing how Gotham did such a great take on Penguin and Riddler as being more "realistic" and yet this movie is just Guys in Random Outfits They Got From The Thrift Store.

This is a bit of a hot take but I feel like the super gaudy old school Riddler is way more Joker-y than the terrorist we're getting here.

It's funny that people call Gotham realistic when it's probably the most out-there piece of live-action Batman media we've had aside from the DCEU stuff and he never even got anything to himself there.

And yet the "guys in thrift store outfits" IS more realistic than everyone dressing like Bond villains.

I'd suggest reading more on the production of this movie. Reeves is pulling stuff from Ego. Pattinson read a bunch of Batman comics even as they were still filming. Kravitz read Year One. Dano researched puzzles.
