SO much expositional dialogue though. Jesus Christ. I rewatched both of the Nolan Batman movies a few days ago and while I enjoyed both, they didn't thrill me and oh my GOD does Nolan need to tone down on the amount of expositional dialogue he uses. It doesn't bother me the way it bothers some (my friend, a big film and Batman fan, despises the Nolan films for that, among other reasons) but it IS obnoxious at times.

Between the two films, I'd have to say I much preferred Begins, while The Dark Knight was merely okay. Really, that's about the best I could give it.

My biggest issue with the Dark Knight is purely aesthetic - namely, the neutered version of Gotham presented in the film. The Gotham in Begins is a pretty reasonable compromise between "realism" and the more fantastical Gothams that have been presented in various media. That's cool, I didn't mind it. But in The Dark Knight? It's Chicago. That's it. Even the fantastic, Art-Deco-style Wayne Tower is replaced with a superbland glass box highrise. Why? Maybe there was some justification the filmmakers made but honestly it almost smells of laziness to me.

On a side note, I was in a staged reading of a play last night called "Bat-Hamlet." It was as amazing and awesome as it sounds. :lol:
