huh? I don't understand, are you say that in Dark Knight, Batman didn't want the public to be buddy-buddy with the police? I never got that idea from watching the movie.
I've only seen the movie once, but from what I understood in the ending Bats told Gordon he needed to be viewed as a menace and not a hero so that Harvey Dent could be remembered not as two-face but as the DA. So, Gordon was going to tread him as a vigilante in press statements etc. and not publicly support him; rather, the opposite. I thought Gordon was supposed to treat Batman like a criminal from then on out.
