If your so obsessed with the flaw of Batman's moral code being violated, then why don't you have a meeting with Christopher Nolan and ask him why?
Huh?

And didn't he fail to save Joker, Penguin and Two-Face in the first 3 movies? If that isn't a contradiction, then i'm Alice Cooper's uncle.
Those movies didn't spend 30 minutes telling us again and again that Batman would never kill. EDIT: Wait, he did sort of kill Two-Face in Part 3 after telling Dick that he shouldn't, didn't he? Oh well, that movie blows anyway.

You do get to do that if your hero is not a hero , but a self-deceiving, psychotic phony.
No argument there.
Joker died by falling off a church via the sheer weight of a gargoyle attached to his leg, Penguin died by falling through a glass window of his old lair and suffering a combination of internal injuries and (i think) the AC malfunctioning. Tommy Lee Jones made a crap Two-Face, Aaron Eckhart pisses all over him.
And my first few words, it's sarcasm

So Michael Keaton's Batman had a valid motive for killing the Joker when he realises Mr J killed his parents? No offense, but the backstory Burton tried so hard to flesh out and make Bats look more angry is nothing but a big pile of w*k.
None taken. I don't care about that backstory one way or another.
I do, however, like that the movie didn't waste a bunch of time telling me that Bruce would never kill.
Fair enough, i just happen to be a person who likes BOTH the Burton and the Nolan films. Even though the former's first two entries are bona-fide classics, they feel empty and dated now when up against the realistic and gritty setting of Begins and TDK. Those who moan about Bale's voice are probably Adam West/George Clooney fans who want Bats to be a wooden and camp superhero, no offense!

I guess I'm one of the few people here who actually likes Bale's throaty Batman voice. It's not like he'd want to be identified by the sound of his voice, after all.

The tattoo on my right arm is the Knightfall logo.
How things have changed. Less than a decade ago, I thought it was a good idea to spend $75 to get a Batman tattoo. Today, I couldn't get excited over a Batman movie if I tried.

Once again, to each their own. I bet you'll get excited when the supposed "reboot" after TDKR's credits role next summer though.....

If they reboot, I'd like to see something that splits the difference between Nolan and Burton style wise...
Alternatively, the flying Batmobile might signal a transition to Batman Beyond... It's not likely, but could happen--especially if Bane cripples Bruce Wayne.
More Knightfall: There seems to be a massive prison break happening, and Bane seems to be talking to an unmasked, incapacitated Bruce Wayne.
