It does its very best to make you forget this is a comic book/superhero movie and I think by bumping itself out of that class it's likely judged against different merits. That level of achievement should not be underestimated. Nothing can really be likened to it before or after in terms of the grounded, gritty nature of everything in this ilk.
That said some spectacle is missing for modern audiences and the batmobile is particularly naff in hindsight but it remains a great film with rich complex characters.
