I liked this one way better than Batman Begins.
For one thing, I liked that it just took place in the real world. There were no signs of the fantasy Gotham from the last film. Just real city streets and locations. There were no MegaManiac plots by the villians or villains with quasi-super-powers.
It may have been implied that the Joker represented some kind of supernatural force of evil, but he was presented as a criminal psychopath operating in the real world.
I really liked the shift towards reality. Batman Begins took place in a world much more real than Burton's Gotham, but The Dark Knight took that four more steps closer to real reality and I liked it!

Um, I'm pretty sure everyone on the LoT who wanted to see this has now done so. I'm done using spoiler tags. If there are "stragglers" who don't want to be spoiled, why would they be reading this thread? No more tags.
