I thought the mayor got hit in the upper arm/shoulder. She was wearing a sling at that next press conference.
Wasn't blown away the same way I was after Batman Begins, but overall I really liked it for many of the stated reasons. Loved the neo-noir tone and look, the influences Reeves drew upon (classic noir, 70's noir like Chinatown, Blade Runner, etc). I liked the grounded detective story approach, despite the plot getting pretty convoluted at times. Some of the overly explainy scenes got kind of comical. I wonder how much of that was Reeves needing to cram in setup for various spinoffs and TV shows and shit.
Reeves is very much into mythology, psychology, human nature, etc, so I get what he was going for with his take on Bruce in year two. Engulfed by his shadow and not even attempting to live a double life. He sleeps in, wears baggy clothes, blows off business meetings, etc. I imagine we saw the first third of Reeves' planned character arc. Maybe one of the reasons it's not landing is that Bruce is around 30(?) and going through going through what comes off as a teen angst/ identity crisis phase.
I have been thinking about the movie a lot and I'm looking forward to a rewatch which is a good sign.
