As you said in text it is hard to obtain a persons intent, my reply is not meant to be hostile or up in arms although I can see how ones perception may see it as so.

You keep saying you dont like what is in this film and Batman Begins because it is not true to the comic books or what has already been seen in previous itterations..

Another thing that bothered me through the run of the picture was my constant questioning of Chris Nolan's inconsistency of following the comic blueprint
You didnt like it because it was not true to the comic book

There could have been a bit more "punch" in the opening theme/sequence as there was in the last film
You didnt like it because it was not like the first film

Quote:
The introduction of Harvey Dent becoming Two Face seemed unnecessary in this sequel and rushed to the point that his long comic run gets shortened to a half hour or so of screen time where some bad acting and horrible dialogue writing and delivery don't really expose Two Face for the psycho he was; like I said, I think Tommy Lee Jones nailed the performance in Batman Forever...
You didnt like this version of two face because it was different and shorter than the TLJ's version and different from Batman Forever.

Thats only a few but there are more comparisons you give for things that this film has done wrong because it strays from the norm..

This movie is for someone who wants a fresh new start to the franchise, not for someone who wants more of the same. I mean its why the first film was appropriately called Batman BEGINS, because this is a fresh take on the Batman universe which means we are most likely not going to see the exact same thing we have already seen dozens of times..


I agree on many of your points made but you can not fault a movie for being something different. Yes I wish Dent was in it longer as two face but that was just not the case, it almost seemed as if they wanted to wrap up this movie with no hopes for a third installment and leaving Two Face alive would not allow for such an ending..

IMO no Ledger = no more Batmans and add to that Bale is signed on for a couple Terminator movies and has 3 other movies either in pre production or filming and a 3rd Batman movie would likely be many years from now.. Who knows though, with how much money this movie will make I think the studios will find a way to squeeze out another film but I dont know if it can live up to what The Dark Knight has become.. Which is an instant classic
