no. please do not put words in my mouth, I loved BB and TDK and yes i enjoyed both burton movies but both have they're huge faults as well. personally the perfect balanced batman for me so far have been the DCAU
its only the TDKR that i have issues with. nolan took what he had built up and threw it out the window. the whole recluse thing would never have happened with the character, ohh they needed someone to blame so know one knew dent went off the deep end, so why not blame the maniac clown that had been terrorising the city, its a stupid twist that really served no purpose, they could have shown batmans depression and guilt but having him becoming more violent in his crime fighting and losing his conscience essentially showing that the joker was right.
and the ending yes i know the usual broken record was horrible, ok i have nothing against batman retiring i dont like it but i know its going to happen. but to have him simply fake his death and run away was poor story telling, it could have been saved by having bruce be waiting in the cave for "robin" he's still retired but is at least going to actually train his successor ala batman beyond.
the whole thing came off to me at least as nolan insisting that his trilogy ends in a way that was going to cause controversy.
look i'm sorry if you seem to have been offended by what i posted but the film was just a real disappointment to me. after 2 excellent films this third film just left me with a complete meh feeling.
It's always funny when someone says there are a lot of plotholes in those stories, and yet, when they want to give a best resolution, they make with it with a major plot hole. They couldn't blame the Joker, without every single policeman on the scene knowing it's a lie, as the Joker was arrested at least an hour ago, and wasn't even at the same place.
Their goal was to hide what happened, so that they would be the only people to know it's a lie. That's why one of them had to take the blame. Gordon couldn't, but Batman, being an anonymous could.
Also, Batman retiring, ending with Selina, and handing Gotham over to Robin is what he did on earth two pre crisis. That's totally faithful to the comics, and it's exactly what Bruce wanted to do since Batman Begins. Even in TDK, he wanted to find a successor.
there is no controverse in the ending. Only people who doesn't know Batman mythos that well would think it's not comic accurate.
And Batman being in action during the 8 years would make no sense storywise, as there isn't any mob left, or any major crime left. He shouldn't be Batman just for the sake of it, even if he's dying to, which was the point of TDKR. He was waiting to be Batman again, because he didn't find peace, but there was no reason for him to be Batman again, until Bane came to Gotham.
I'm not saying that you should like the movie or the ending. You have the right to be disappointed. But the flaws you're pointed are not flaws.
I agree with the flaws pointed by doomsdayapex though.
