I don't think it's a flaw as much as a symptom of genre. Nolan likes film noir. He likes crime flicks. That's what he gravitates toward. Those tend to have twists.

That being said, however, I don't recall any major twists in either of the other Batman movies. Or Inception, really. That things more of a giant puzzle, a mind****, more than it is a twister.

Actually, yeah. It does.

Yeah hate to burst your bubble but you're acting like this is the worst screw job a comic has ever gotten going to the big screen. If you're a big fan you'll understand that misplacing a character is nothing compared to what Brett Ratner and writers did to X3. Trust me, Nolan could've done much worse. Honestly what films have had great comic to film adaptations anyways? Not many come to mind.

The comics themselves have been rewritten and reinvented so many times by different authors/artists. It's not like this is some kind of precious art form that Nolan, and only NOLAN, is violently debasing.

He's telling one version of a story using characters that have evolved and changed over time. Just like when a new writer/artist takes over a character.

It's just one possible adaptation. And I think it works.

Viewing #12, I think.

I'm at the football stadium part, where Ben Rapistberger and Hines "The Cryer" Ward get sucked into a giant hole.

It's my favorite part.

Son of a bitch...going to watch all 3 this week, again.

Love this series!

Did you know that Nolan tried to cast Dicaprio as The Riddler for this movie?

Pretty sure that was just a rumor. I believe WB wanted to go with The Riddler and Nolan absolutely refused to go that route.

Glad he didn't go that way.

This may have been mentioned before, but in my opinion JGL wouldn't be Robin.
He would be Nightwing.

And didn't Nolan say he wouldn't do another "Batman" movie? He never said he wouldn't do a "Nightwing" movie...

I've read through about 150 or so posts and haven't seen it mentioned yet, but I also found it interesting that the title of the film didn't roll until (Robin) John Drake was lifted upward by the black pedestal in the bat cave.

He was literally rising.

JGL > Bale.

Nightwing is Robin

I just saw it tonight for the first time. Good movie but I think I enjoyed TDK more.

Or when bruce got out of the prison...
