I genuinely want to know your beef with the film.
My beef with all the Nolan films is the fact that Batman is a comic book superhero, but they tried desperately to make it overly-realistic and overly-modern, and that makes them fail as Batman films, and they also failed at the realism they were apparently trying to achieve. The films don’t capture Batman. They capture Dude uses existing military equipment to become a vigilante.
Yeah, you make a fair point, but I don’t read comics, and I judge them as films, and in that regard, The Dark Knight is great, at least in my opinion.
