My major complaint about The Dark Knight (and possibly TDKR)

Gotham City. In Batman Begins, it was Gotham City. It was gritty. It was dirty. There seemed to be an abundance of dark, creepy places. In TDK, however, it seems like your typical generic city. Its like they got lazy and said, **** it, Gotham IS Chicago." In Batman Begins, it was its own city. It was advanced, but dirty to the core. You had the Wayne Towers, and you had the monorail system which played a MAJOR part in the story, but it didn't even exist in TDK. Like...I do think Batman Begins is overall a better movie than The Dark Knight, but this is just my major gripe with it. Gotham isn't Gotham in TDK. Its just another city that any random superhero could come into and do the same thing. Its not Gotham.

[QUOTE="biggest_loser"] This but also I think the aesthetic change was to show how Batman had really cleaned up the city, hence why the criminals were running scared of him. Notice how the films visuals grow bleaker as things get worse - the whole darkest before the dawn thing I guess. biggest_loser

BTW, thanks for taking this somewhat seriously lol. I love arguing about these goddamn movies.

[QUOTE="biggest_loser"][QUOTE="MysticMikeMan"] Hippie ****** can go **** himself. And considering TDK, in the movie universe, is set just 9 months after Batman Begins, I highly doubt thats the case.
