Tim Burton got so much crap for not staying true to the Batman mythos, when Nolan's Batman also takes liberties with the source material, and yet it is praised as being the truest incarnation of the character?
What I mean is in the comics the Joker was not an Anarchist in war-paint, and the origins of two-face was completely altered, and IMO Batman was the weakest part in The Dark Knight, meaning he was upstaged by the Joker. Maybe I'm weird, but whenever the scenes with Batman or Bruce Wayne show up, I kept wondering what the Joker was doing. Again, one of the complaints about Burton's Batman was that he was too focused on the villains, which by watching The Dark Knight it's understandable how that could happen.
Also, for being such a "realistic" take, I somehow can't imagine a 5 ton tank effortlessly traveling down narrow urban streets or landing on poorly supported rooves without crushing, or maiming a single pedestrian.
