The same thing in Indiana Jones and I would have been all over it. But since TDK fully grabbed me I didn't care at the time and my first instinct when thinking about it later is to find an excuse for it.
But if I sat down I could find lots of problems. As I mentioned above the level of omniscience evidenced by The Joker is something that otherwise generally pisses me off in movies.

Oh totally. I could spend hours nitpicking things in this movie, but none of those nitpicky things detracted from my enjoyment, so I haven't bothered. Same for
Begins, lots of stuff that could be picked apart (most glaring being the "I swear, I'm the DA" scene where Rachel gets across the bridge with no questions asked) but the whole package is good enough to not really care.
My only real complaints are Chicago-as-Gotham, batgrowl, and too much meandering back and forth between traps/misdirections. The good stuff in there more than makes up for any shortcomings in the little details but not those biggies.
