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.
I don’t read comics very much either (not Batman comics at least), and I do judge them as films, but I know what comics are, I know what they’re like, and I like comic book movies when they are portrayed as comic books on the big screen. The Nolan films don’t do that for me, and when a film is no longer a comic book film, all of the “this doesn’t make sense” moments are no longer excused, because I lose my comic book standards for the the film.
Furthermore, the Burton films are literally all the good things that ever came out of the comics, paired together with some new stuff and some changes, that effectively become a better comic than the comic, and on the big screen.
