Well Shredder in the comic this film adapts kicks Batman's ass in their first fight but ends up leaving due to getting his own fair share of injuries in the fight. I'm kind of disappointed Splinter was only referenced in one scene as Splinter in the comic was one of the best parts as he not only stalemates Batman, but also fights Ra's Al Ghul in a 1v1 fight. Seriously how cool would it have been to see those 2 awesome scenes from the comic in animated form, plus given how this film has it to where the Turtles and Batman exist in the same universe they could have easily wrote it to where Splinter encountered and fought Ra's back when he was Hamato Yoshi.

[@beauwalker9820]

It's inaccurate though, dc fans truly are blind ASF. True the movie is entertaining and second it has good comedy but extremely inaccurate.

Now, do these things make the movie bad no. I actually think it's a great movie but not the best. Does it work as a Batman movie, hell no. Too inaccurate.

As a fanfic writer myself, what generally separates the good from the bad is actually kind of mundane- keeping characters in-character, making the setting feel familiar, having a strong starting premise (absolutely vital in the case of AUs and crossovers), and most importantly, having some grasp on the nuts and bolts of fiction writing.
