i understand the move to more danger, more thrill, more "cost" in achieving and ends. we have seen it in the harry potter series, spiderman, the hulk, and in the "batman returns" mivie compared to the first set of bat man movies.
it adds a better sence of danger and excietment to the movies making them appeal to an older market than the kids and teens they were first designed for. but for me, this one crossed the line. the ending wasnt only anti climatic, it was out right depressing. mabe its just me, but walking out of iron man i was excieted about the movie. walking out of dark knight i felt more like i just finnished a horror movie where even the heros lost than walking out of a super hero movie.
wouldnt see it again. i can watch the news if i want depressing. paying for depressing is just, well, like medding 3 or 4 minutes after each kill, or camping a rare spawn for days on end. what happened to EQ vs WoW applies to movies too.

No dwarves in Dark Knight too ofcourse, that doesn't help.

Standard trilogy arc. See The Empire Strikes Back.

1. You apparently don't really know much about Batman.
2. Any improvement on the Joel Schumacher abominations is welcome.
3. You don't want to "pay for depressing?" Does all art have to be happy? Shouldn't there be great art spanning the entire spectrum of human emotion? Should we rewrite Shakespeare's tragedies so that instead of dying, everyone gets a *******-giving puppy?
Disclaimer: not claiming that Batman is "great art."

I so want one of those!
female puppy, of course
If you get blown by a male puppy, does that make you gay?

a movie that didnt have any good guys
I think that was kind of the point of the movie. Batman is not a good guy, he's a Dark knight

Harvey Dent was a good guy. He just got boned.

Yes he was and the joker proved he could turn even the best of gotham into an evil vilain.
That's why Batman needs to take the blame so the illusion of good harvey stays intact.
He's the hero gotham deserve but not the one we need right now... so we'll hunt him down, cause he can take it. Because he's not a hero, he's a silent guardian, a watchfull protector...a dark knight
-Jim Gordon
...yea I saw the movie too many times

Jim Gordon was a good guy, too. And the love interest, the butler, the inventor. And the prisoner on the boat (aka Deebo).

I agree except for the prisoner. Yes he makes a good gesture but he's a prisoner for a reason.
I thought it was another part of the American Psycho saga.
