That's still two more than Batman begins had, not to mention those films came out only a few years after the previous entries in the series. There was no reason to assume they weren't part of the series. And given Harvey Dent's Michael Jaskson-esque race change in Forever, it's pretty obvious...

Not to mention that at the beginning of Burton's Batman, Batman is still relatively unknown in the city and is largely just a rumour, having made relatively few appearances. Even Gordon didn't know for sure he existed based on his surprised reaction when he first sees him at Axis chemicals.

Even if not, it's plainly obvious just watching the films. Why would he assume that a film made decades later, with an eniterely different cast, crew, tone, feel etc, would have to be obligated to fit in with the continuity of the previous series. And even if he did initally think Batman...

I've only seen it once so far, but I took it as Batman consciously choosing to save Dent over Rachel and that he did so for the same reasons he took the fall for Two-Face's crimes at the very end. That he felt obligated to save Dent for the good of the city, even if personally, he'd rather save...

True. And yes the generational thing plays a big part in it. Childhood nostalgia definitely plays a big part in many people's opinions. Am I'm not going to say The Dark Knight is the best just yet even though it feels like it could be and even I had some problems with it like thinking the...

Yeah, that was funny. I remember watching his first explanation and saying to myself, "what a cliche, he's bad because his alcoholic dad abused him!" and being a bit jarred that the film would stoop to that. Then the second "explanation" came up and I thought, hmm, very clever: He just tells...

Ok, fair enough but I still the think the first half of Superman has yet to be topped. But I could agree at least Spiderman 2 (definitely not 3 though), Batman Returns and the two Nolan Batman films are better as a whole. But I could still rightly say that Superman was widely argued to be the...

Maybe Reed's just angry he can no longer say he's in the best movie inspired from a comic book!

Nolan has said that he's a big Bond fan and that the Bond films have influence his Batman films so I think it's a good bet that scene was a nod to Thunderball, or at least he had it on his mind.

Yeah, that was definitely a Thunderball homage! The Hong King scenes weren't necessarily there to plant the whole sonar thing (the one element of the film I can say I truly didn't like) but they were there to payoff what the Joker said about Batman. There was no way they'd be able to...
