Watch the conversations as well as the action

Give Bruce’s exchanges with the other heroes as much attention as the large action sequences. How people approach him, what they ask of him, and how he responds provide a different view of his place in the team. It is a way into the character that does not depend on a spoiler-heavy biography.
