And last, but not ALL (been awhile since I seen it) my favorite, where Joker bust outta MCU with a bomb, in a guys stomach, from 35 feet, that kills, or incapacitates, every one on screen, except the Joker.  I'll give it another watch and come back with more...

The flight to get Loas from China, like the Chineses wouldn't see the commercial liner trying to fly under radar, or Norad not seeing it!  The transport convoy of Dent (who said he was Batman) see a FIRETRUCK on FIRE and think it's okay to go onto lower fifth where they would be sitting ducks ( according to a lowely cop) and not expect an ambush.  After Joker starts attacking the convoy, Nolan makes several mistakes of using incoherent camera angles that are deemed by cinematographers as a sin; (i.e.) showing the convoy going from left to right and right to left, and as such Dents position in the truck keeps switching from his back being behind the drivers, to the passangers side.     More issues, the boats and hospitals explosives not being seen by anyone!?  Sorry, hospitals are open 24/7, and ferries have preliminary check, above and below everytime they dis-embark.

Well, were to start!?  The bank scene where Joker is introduced; the 'henchmen' all sound like idiots.  They (in broad daylight) pickup Joker without his mask on (no one notices).  The banker gets a smoke bomb (un-benounced to him) in his mouth, never thinks to throw it!?!?  No one sees the YELLOW school bus hanging out of the bank!?!?  The bus then proceeds to exit the bank with a nice conveiniant gap between the other school busses, and the other drivers think of calling it in?  We are now roughly 10 minutes into the movie.  An almost full cast of sub-par actors; the bank clowns, pretty much all mob guys, Michael Jai White, a new Rachel played by a worse and uglier actress, Harvey's actor was pretty sub-par.   The scene where Bruce holds a benefit for Dent, after Joker tosses Rachel out the window....nothing happens to the party goers.

There are plenty of things wrong with TDK, none of which i would say take away from the fact its a classic and one of the best super hero movies of all time.
It set the trend of making comic movies more real, darker and grittier, Examples. X-men 1st Class, Amazing Spider-man and the upcoming Man Of Steel
Plenty of Things wrong with the movie, like the bank robbery in the beginning, it looked cool and was a great intro for the joker and the movie itself, but if u think about it, its pretty dumb. 
Still a 10/10 tho

A LOT of reasons actually, I don't have two hours to type, or I would!
i cant figure out a reason why ANYthing was wrong with this movie except the title. in the comics with the "Dark knight" batman crossed that line where he started Killing people left and right because robin had gotten killed but in here he doesnt kill anyone because he wont cross that line.
 
please tell me just a few things wrong with tdk. it was a 10/9 imo.

The first being d*** Grayson who most people are familiar with. He was Robin I believe until the early early 80's. And was fired when he was shot by the Joker and soon let go by Bats because he felt he could not put a child's life in danger any longer. Now at this point he had also been a member of the Teen Titans were he then became the leader and eventually became Night Wing. Then he eventually moved to his own City BludHaven and even became a cop...Thats were the movie got the idea to make their version a Police officer. The second was Jason Todd a orphan growing up on the streets of Gotham in the area of crime alley. One of his origin stories even had Batman find him lifting tires off the Batmobile. Bats takes a liking to him after a few run ins as Batman and Bruce Wayne. After learning the boy's parents were murdered similar to his own. Bruce Wayne takes him as his ward and makes him Robin after he discovers he's Batman. Now I'm not sure how long this character was around but I know he was murdered by the Joker in the late 80's because he was reckless. And his death was actually decided by the fans in the series " Death in the family" And I believe the results were lop sided. Now the third Robin is very close to the character in the movie because he too figured out who Batman was. Tm Drake was a young rich kid who was a huge fan of Batman and Robin and actually witnessed  the event were d***'s Parents were killed at the circus. So after years and years of doing his own detective work he confronts Bruce Wayne with his discovery and actually saves his life. At first Batman did not want a new sidekick especially after Jayson's death who he eventually adopted before he died. But after Tim's parents are in a plane crash the death of his mother at the hands of some Voodoo villian. Batman decides to send him off to train with a group similar to the League of Shadows. As far as the fourth goes I just know some how he is the son of Bruce Wayne and Talia Algule..Thius must have been after I stopped reading...Sorry for the Fanboy geek session...Just wanted to point out the amalgamation of three of the comic characters made up the movie version Blake. Who I thought made sense because of Nolan's way of making the series believable.
dawg i know we ain't cool at ALL, but from this post, from one geek to another on the 8th of August every year, for just ONE day every year, we are cool. nice post dawg you explained the robin history GREAT. im glad SOMEONE knows hist history rather than me :(

When the USA was testing nukes in the ocean, you never heard of tsunamis killing people lol.
And lunchy, Are you not entertained? That scene is one of the most epic scenes ever.
I love Gladiator.

And still Bane's voice>

@trin... Technically batman beat Bane 1v1 after raping his mask. He would have finished him or let him go until his part time lover stabbed him.

THAT WAS THE THING I FORGOT!!!
I really was upset with the whole nuke not destroying the city even tho it could not have gone further then like 2, 3 miles tops, pretty upsetting!
Still an amazing film considering, following TDK is no easy task.
TDKR>The Avengers>The Amazing Spiderman    all really good movies tho

i was going to say EVERYTHING what you just said but a little more.

Where is the big tsunami that should have hit the city after the nuke exploded? And how in 15 sec did the bat wing fly away from the city? Come on? And I just HATE how they say “Robin” I was like really? They could have said d*** or his other names instead of his hero name. and how and the world did it take 7-8 years until his leg healed up but only took a few days so his back can be recovered ? but other than that it was a 8/10 I loved the movie Bane voice was off da chain.

Ive finally seen the film and id give it 9/10 for sheer entertainment. The action is superb - i really want a bat mobile lol - Bane is a great nemesis but Catwoman steals it for me she has the best lines. Is it better than TDK? For me no, the riddler was always my fave villian and Heath Ledger's performance > all. Anyway its pretty close, you dont get many sequels that deliver the quality of TDKR but its been a few years since i watched BB and I found myself trying to piece things together for a while.
I didnt like the jump scene to a prison in Asia and the escape to GC, it didnt make sense how he got there and back and in 23 days or whatever! The police force being trapped was lame but the charge against the anarchists (running with batans drawn against amoured vehicles and automatic weapons) were worse. Also not beating Bane on a 1 to 1 and him dying like that was poor too. Natasha's exit was weak she should have fought catwoman in a catfight perhaps.
In all its the best superhero franchise going imo and the themes of heroes vs villians, priviliged v underpriveliged of being fearless <  fearful of death is a better motivator for living was nicely played. Well worth seeing!
Cos I'm Wonderman...I'll take that knife and shove it up your a$$!

It was played perfectly, the suspense and intensity was so damn high there.     I'll give it a 9.4/10
Downsides where mainly what Lunchy said, I agree with the lack of closure to Banes death and the "99.98%" of all police force being sent into the tunnels
They say 68.35% of all percentages are made up.     ;)
That's so made up

The point being that basically the entire police force was down there still stays the same, exaggerating percentages put aside.

Yeah, one Year between Wayne in the hole in the movie, and in actual time.  So shortly after TDKF comes out on DVD, TDKR comes out in theaters.  Actually, I'm kinda bummed this isn't how it happened.
