Movie: The Dark Knight
Basic Plot: Batman battles the Joker and Two-Face (kind of) in order to save Gotham City.
I'm Okay With: The fact that a mere mortal with no superpowers is able to take down waves of bad guys with only a score of bat-themed gadgets, his fists, and no lethal weapons. The fact that no one in Gotham City can figure out Batman's real identity despite that the only person rich enough to afford to be Batman is Bruce Wayne. The fact that the police can't seem to find one crazy guy that wears makeup all the time. The ridiculousness of the Joker's plan where he purposely fails to kill Harvey Dent resulting in Dent becoming mentally and physically scarred, gets arrested, sends the police on a manhunt so that headquarters is undermanned, blows up police headquarters, escapes, blows up a hospital, takes two ferry boats hostage, attempts to get the boats to blow each other up, fails, and then has a backup plan where Harvey Dent starts killing people. The fact that no one seems to notice the Joker and his henchmen putting hundreds of very large barrels of explosives onto two ferries.
I'm Not Okay With: In the scene where Batman entrusts Lucius Fox with a city-wide sonar system that uses cell phones to help Batman find the Joker, Batman informs Lucius about about his plan and the whole time they are talking Batman still uses his Batman voice (you know what I'm talking about) even though Lucius knows Batman is Bruce Wayne. Seriously, why does he keep talking in that stupid voice when the guy you are talking to knows your real identity? It's not like Bruce has to hide his secret from the guy, in fact, this is the same man who has been supplying Batman with all of his cool gadgets from his utility belt to his armored Bat-tank. I am not okay with this.
