You should approach a film with no preconceptions, yes. Form your opinion afterwards. You know after you actually watch it.

TDK goes below BB for me for one reason. Bale kind of sucked as Batman in the film. That terrible voice. Just brought it down a peg for me.
This scene just reminds me how poorly the film set up any Bruce/Selena relationship. It was totally non-existent, and having a romantic relationship with Talia just makes it come off even cheaper. The relationship is based on nothing in the films, and only by Batman fan's knowledge of the characters.
I also still can't shake the feeling that those two shot were filmed at totally different locations.

"You are in for a show tonight, son" was a nod to Dark Knight Returns, right?
:lol Loved that moment.

I hated hated hated this. This is what I was referring to in my impressions when I said it was like a Funny or Die Batman parody. Nolan went for the cheap laughs.
Rewatching scenes like that is going to be painful.
Yeah, that made me fucking laugh too. I had been hoping since day one that Scarecrow would cameo again, and I was lucky enough to never have it spoiled for me one way or the other, so when I saw him in this, I was so happy.

I was really surprised when she did that. Just as I was at the Joker magic trick.

Not gonna lie, when I saw the post banner, I legit thought .GqueB. was Korey. Same tone and everything.

I really need a gif of the EMP gun scene.

Lol, I forgot about "escalation"
You seem like a man who takes himself too seriously. You want my opinion? You need to lighten up!
Batman's first appearance was a moment, though. The failure of the lights in the tunnel, the brief shadowy emergence of what appears to be the batpod, and the veteran cop saying "You're in for a show tonight son!", all then leading up to a full on shot of Batman.
Just because a chase ensues right after that reveal, doesn't mean he didn't have his moment. Thought that was done rather well, actually.

The whole trilogy is full of cheap laughs. It is a Batman movie at the end of the day.

This is getting weirder all the time
Still can't believe they allowed misspelling of word "heist" in film, unless I'm crazy
Gordon talked to himself all the time when Batman left.

But they're not self-conscious laughs. I've said it many times, but that was the T800 putting on the Elton John glasses all over again.

I didn't like it, just because I got it and I think most people would have gotten it without the line. However, I was the only one who laughed before he delivered the line, so maybe I was wrong.
It wasn't terrible, and there were fewer cheap laughs here than Begins. Maybe not TDK, but I can't remember for sure.

That part was so great for the very reason you stated.

So, one thing I liked finding in BB and TDK were nods to the old batman films. Were there any in this film I missed?
BB had the line about not having time to obey traffic laws, nodding to moment in 60's Batman where Batman made a point to always obey traffic laws. TDK had Batman running down the Joker and missing, ala 1989 Batman.
I miss any references in this one?

Yep said it 400 times. He's taken what is possibly my favourite fictional character across any medium and made three wonderful movies about him.
There was a reference to Killer Croc, but that's not what you're looking for.
These feel like some pretty far reaches. You could say they are nods, but you could easily just chalk them up to coincidences as well.
When I think of nods, I think of like how Joker's mask is the same exact mask Joker wears in his first episode of the 1960s show.

What did they use Wayne's finger prints for? Did it have something to do with setting him up on those stock losses?
Also, was that air card thing that Batman took out of the laptop the same "clean slate" tech that Selina was after? That, by the way, was the only part I'd remove from the film. It was glossed over and hokey and just didn't work as a subplot for Selina. Then in the last act Bruce presents the hypothesis that Selina actually wanted it to clear her own record, as if that would be some kind of revelation.

What did he do this time? Too much hyperbole?

Oh so warner are perfectly fine with leaving the ending up but they take down the fight between batman and bane? fuck

Huh. I didn't connect that line to Killer Croc, but more so just the urban legends of giant alligators in sewers. Nice touch, though, now that I'm thinking about it in retrospect.
tl;dr : ITS NOT THE BATMAN I HAD IN MY HEAD! NOLAN HAS RUINED MY CHILDHOOD!
Oh god, it has to be read to be believed

That joke has been done before in a previous Batman story, but I can't put my finger on it. Maybe the Under the Hood animated flick, or some comic.

For example, he complained about some of the movie being unrealistic and then at the same time suggests clayface and manbat as better villains.

My top 5 moments in the series (in descending order):
5) Scarecrow lighting batman on fire.
4) The pencil trick scene
3) The interrogation scene
2) Alfred's soliloquy to Thomas/Martha Wayne's graves.
1) Batman and Bane's first encounter!

They used Waynes prints to bankrupt him by dumping money into risky stocks that failed, and I guess the fingerprints are what authorized the transaction.

Bruce/Selina dance at the party was kinda similar to the one in Returns.

This as well. Because Chris Nolan didn't make the shitty batman that Knowles would have made, the movie sucked.

I think it was Under The Red Hood. When Jason disappears on him.
Yeah, something similar was in Red Hood.
It also calls back to TDK when Batman does it when talking to Gordon and Dent and Gordon says "he does that".
Yeah, that was a pretty good nod.
Eh. Figured someone would bring that up but my reasons are pretty valid. It's not like I said "I HATE THIS FOR SOME REASON". Movie had some serious problems that I almost overlooked because of the great ending.

It's been done more than once, notably in Kingdom Come.
Yeah, Superman does that to him in Kingdom Come

And just what part of a walking Molossus comes off as "realistic" to Harry? But then again, maybe it's got something to do with:
Ick. So, it doesn't fit his personal headcanon, so it sucks?

Wow, the Knowles reviews is hilarious.
I will agree with him on one point though. Alfred would never ditch Bruce.
Also agree with the Bane fight (notably the second) not being up to the first one, but it didn't kill the film for me. The 2nd fight did come off as Batman beating bane with brawn, and not brains.

5. Bruce parents scenes
4. Training with Ra's
3. Batman first shows up TDKR
2. Bruce climbing out of the prison
1. TDKR ending
The Technomancer

People seem to love the prison climb but that scene didn't do anything for me. It wasn't bad by any means but I wouldn't list it as a highlight of the trilogy, or even the movie.

Clayface?? If you're going for a supernatural villain, it's Mr. Freeze or nothing for fuck's sake.

In fairness, he didn't really ditch him. They had a major disagreement. Alfred would have left Gotham with the intention of coming back, but obviously the city was in lock down after he left.
