I'm not sure why everyone gets such a boner for these dark/mature revisions of comic book themes. They're pretty boring on the whole. Granted, I wouldn't say DK was a bad movie, but it takes itself way to seriously. I mean people were actually quoting the film to spark philisophical debates. You need to think a bit more in general if Batman is giving you life lessons.
Attempts to squeeze in Two Face and the Joker in a plot so dark and mildly confusing. I believe that with Heath Ledger's death, this movie did well for those who are easy entertained.
