I tried to give Dark Knight another look a few months ago. My original opinion still holds;

I gave my opinion at the start of this same thread, and its clones as well ;) I too didn't think it was the masterpiece others had hyped it to be. But sitting down and watching it without over-analyzing it, I simply do enjoy it. And I do prefer the whole nature of Nola's series to Burton's/Schumacher's. I used to really love '89, but the most recent time I watched it, I realized how much I didn't enjoy anymore (not that I don't enjoy it at all, but it feels far weaker than it used to). Returns has never appealed to me, as I find it too cartoonish and Penguin way over the top and the whole mayoral election to be completely ridiculous. But I am interested as to why folks like it so much.
