I mean, there were a lot of enjoyable things in it, many of which you listed. I just didn't feel there was much cohesion to it. I don't know what I'm supposed to think at the end. What was that whole pasted-on class struggle theme about? (either way, taking arguments for economic justice and putting them in the sociopathic villain's mouth is icky - but I'd like to know what the hell Nolan thought he was saying, so I can know how offended I should be) Was the way Batman basically acquired any technology he thought could possibly maybe somehow be put to harmful use and locking it up in his basement supposed to be neurotic and paranoid, or was he justified in thinking that the world is just that dangerous and people are stupid and evil and can't be trusted with anything more advanced than a can opener? (if it's the latter, then again I must be offended. Really, I just want enough information to know whether I have a moral duty to hate something, is that so much to ask? :P ) What story, in essence, did I just watch, if you take away all the booming music and explosions?
And while Bane was definitely a badass, that high-pitched voice and posh accent really didn't work for me.
Now, I'll grant you, without reservation, the awesomeness of Catwoman... ;)
