Ah. Well, then. Hehe, I guess it would take quite a bit then. I'm sure you've probably explained why before, but, if not, I am curious to know why you hate this series so much.

I don't hate the series so much as I'm left cold by it.

I'm not much of a fan of Nolan's films in general to begin with. I do like two of his films - The Prestige and even Batman Begins - and initially enjoyed The Dark Knight well enough. As I saw more and more of his films, though, I was turned off by the convoluted and pretentious storylines he tends to favour. In retrospect, I grew to dislike TDK for the same reasons.

And then there is Nolan's attempt to make Batman and his world realistic. I don't like that idea AT ALL. I like a gothic Gotham and a nightmarish Arkham Asylum, I like the impossible characters like Man-Bat and Mr. Freeze, I like the idea that Batman can team up with a superpowered alien from another world and fight supernatural threats like vampires and zombies. Nolan takes all that away in his films and, frankly, makes the Batman and his world as dull and boring as possible.

I also haven't been fond of most of the characterization in his films. Apart from Ledger's Joker, I'm indifferent to almost everyone in the films; Oldman's Gordon, Caine's Alfred, Eckhart's Harvey Dent/Two-Face, etc. - all blah as far as I'm concerned. And, frankly, I dislike Bale's Bruce/Batman. I hate the bulky Batsuit, the smoker's Batvoice, and the "Bruce Wayne is a selfish playboy dumbass" routine. Yeah, I know it comes from the comics, but I still hate it; it irks me as much as Christopher Reeve's Clark Kent.
