I just want to clarify that I don't personally find Nolan's style visually uninteresting, I merely find the TDK/TDKR Gotham really bland and visually uninteresting. In any other movie I'd be fine but this is Batman! I just want a less-generic Gotham - Nolan can keep his cinematography style and my jimmies will remain unrustled.
And - believe it or not - I totally agree that a Batman film ought to be darker and grittier than other movies. Trouble is, a darker, grittier Batman film that entertains me as much as Batman & Robin has yet to be released! Begins is close but its climax still bugs me.
