The movie is not going to suck. This is a very realistic Batman. He's not even Batman until it gets deeper into hte movie. He's just an average guy. I'm going to do a small bit of spoiling.
It starts out with Bruce in prison. You find out why he's in prison through flashbacks he has. While in prison he's attacked and then promptly kicks a guy's ass and they put him in solitary confinement. This guy, Ra's Al Ghul's goon, talks to him and tells him exactly what he needs to hear (pretty much, I'll train you to be better than you already are). Bruce is let out of prison and the first thing he does is go to Tibet to train with Ra's Al Ghul (played by Ken Watanabe, he speaks no English in the film, Ducard, his assistant, does the speaking for him).
They train and this is when the flashbacks come in. It shows Bruce at 8 years old playing with the maid's daughter, Rachel, she's 10. They're playing hide-and-seek I beileve it is and Bruce runs into the kitchen and falls through the floor and breaks his arm. All the bats come out of the cave and it scares him.
Another flashback, he's still young and his parents are at the theatre (stage theatre) and he gets fidgety asks to leave. Bruce's father opts to take him outside for a breather and his mother follows too. This is when some goon comes up and asks for money. Bruce's father being the rich guy he is says it'll be ok and takes out his wallet. He drops the wallet and the goon gets a bit figety. He picks it up and then he asks for the mother's pearls. (They were brand new pearls just bought for her.) The goon ends up killing the mother and father and running off.)
Another flashback, Bruce has been kicked out of numerous Ivy League colleges and decides to return to Wayne Manor. He's fed up with his life and all that and decides he's gonna sell the mansion and whatnot, Alfred yells at him saying it's been in the family for many generations.
His parents killer is (either going to trial or getting out of jail, not sure) and he's walkign from the courthouse and people are surrounding him when this woman comes up to him and shoots him. That was supposed to be his vengeance and the woman took it from him. He talks to Rachel in the car and pulls out the gun and says "I was going to kill myself." She slaps him a few times and starts crying. No reaction from him.
That's as far as I've gotten 30 pages into. Still plenty of more to go. I love it so far.
And yes the Batmobile can jump apparently later in the movie Rachel has been gassed with Scarecrow's gas and he's trying to get her back to the Batcave as fast as possible and so he's jumping on rooftops and such trying to get his enemies off.
