Wow, this is the first video I've seen that does not sing the praises of this film at all. One guy, in a snarky smart-ass manner, explains some of the movie's flaws while convincing his friend at the same time. WARNING: Contains some rude language.

Apart from a few absurd comments (Seriously, who the hell would watch a Batman movie and think there would be any sex in it? ???), I thought they made some great points, especially the poor action, expository and repetitive dialogue, and Batman's hypocritical moral stance.

QuoteJonathan Nolan: He [Batman] has this one rule, as the Joker says in The Dark Knight. But he does wind up breaking it. Does he break it in the third film?

Christopher Nolan: He breaks it in...

Jonathan Nolan: ...the first two.
