No offense, but that would be a pretty lame follow-up.What? JGL vs Scarecrow in a sequel? Is that what I read there?
Pencil through the eye socket
Shotgun to a cop's face
Those simple instances state otherwise.

Making henchman stab each other to death with sharpened pool sticks in order for a roster spot on his squad.
He collapsed the football field. Not the stadium. Yes, he strangled and snapped other thug's necks. Joker did similar things to his own henchman and rivals, but in a much more sadistic way. Bane did it because the ends justified the means. Joker did it BECAUSE IT WAS FUN !!!
A dirty bomb absolutely feels like a real life potential scenario, IMO ... as does a terrorist attack on a nationally televised pro football game.
Those were some real and legit post 9/11 fears. If you were around post 9/11 you would know that.
Joker wasn't about destroying Gotham ala Bane, he was totally about making it his chaotic fun land in an epic duel with the one man who gave his life purpose ... the Batman.
Joker was about turning the mirror on society and trying to tell us its face is just as disfigured and corrupt as his ... he proved that through Dent. And failed through trying to corrupt our DARK KNIGHT.
I do too ...
But that isn't to say a dirty bomb in a city, or a terrorist attack on a pro sporting event weren't too un realistic to take serious in comparison to Joker's attacks.
Joker isn't insane, he's in control of his actions ... he knows what he does.
He isn't HIGH on bath salts.
Either way you cut it ... Joker tortured people slowly, Bane did not.
Thus Joker is more disturbed and brutal.
This part I can TOTALLY agree with.
It was heavy handed stuff meant to create relevancy that didn't do it subtley and hit as close to home as the zeitgeist fears in TDK did. I totally agree with what you're saying.
Not that it was bad, but in comparison to the tight script and motivations of TDK and it's character, namely the Joker ... it was very sloppy in comparison.
In the source material Bane is a mexican wrestler ... Nolan's Gotham is different.
It's left open to interpretation.
Is Joker insane? Or is he the ULTIMATE realist?
Hell his predictions came true from 8 years prior. "When the chips are down ... these civilized people ... they'll eat each other"
And under Bane's revoultionary rule ... they did just that, didn't they?
Insane? Or scary, like he was in TDK, because ultimately ... the villain has a point, doesn't he?!
No ... did you watch the movie?
Ra's Al Ghul wanted to exterminate a whole city. He died, Batman defeated him and his daughter Talia Al Ghul wanted to finish her father's destiny
And her brawn pet Bane, did her bidding because he was foolishly in love with a woman who had no ultimate interest in him as a lover.
Bane got PLAYED like a fiddle. Why? Because he cared.
That was my biggest disappointment in the movie... Crane didn't have his mask. It would've been so much more effective if he had.
