There's an entire scene where Blake explains how he knows Bruce is Batman.

It's one of a great many Deus ex Machnia that Nolan uses in the film, but I don't really have a problem with it. I'm chalking it up to the kind of insight about people that will help make Robin Blake a good Batman.

You dont just use mainstay characters and disregard the source material and expect a great response from people familiar with it. Talia wasnt born in that pit, and she certainly wouldnt have tried to murder Bruce and destroy Gotham. What is his next act? Lois Lane jams a hunk of kryptonite up Superman's ass and attempts to kill him in his upcoming film? It would make about as much sense.

No he didn't. It's his most significant flaw as a filmmaker that he feels the need to add Twists! to every film.

I didn't mean WE thought he needed a twist. HE wanted a twist. It is, after all, his film. And for almost everyone (i.e. people who don't know who Talia is in the comics), it was an effective twist. Why did he do it? Why did he change Bane's origin and character specifics? Why did he have some cop named John Blake be named Robin? Who knows. It's his film, his version of the Batman story, and his conclusion to it. No one is ever going to make the perfect movie that makes everyone happy. Find any movie on Rotten Tomatoes and even if it has 99% rating there's someone who thought it sucked. Most people liked "Avengers", some loved it, and some hated it. I think most people will like "TDKR", some will love it, and some will hate it. Que sera sera.

Question since I didn't really watch Batman Begins...why is Liam Neeson credited as Henri Ducard and another guy is as al Ghul? I thought Neeson was al Ghul in both.
Sorry to ask a dumb question.

Heh, it appears the biggest critics of this film and all the Nolan Batman films are the true hardcore comic book nerds.
A lot of guys have a hard time accepting changes or a Different interpretation of something they love. Understandable I guess......

That's the beauty of it to me though, that's what makes him a great filmmaker. It's hard to surprise people. That's why you go to his movies, to be surprised, awed, and taken away by film. I certainly wouldn't want every filmmaker to do that, obviously. But he does it well. And he's great at keeping his foot on your throat. Instead of one major conflict/resolution he just beats you down and adds problem after problem to overcome, and then when you think the hero has made it over the hump, he'll push it farther.
