amen, thanks to the artistic qualities of Burton...
IF nolan would work together with someone like Burton for the artistic sides of his (batman)movies, it would be..perfect?

I don't ever want to see a Gothic looking Gotham ever again.
It was well done in 89 and that should be the end of that.
I'll take my Batman with a realistic looking city any day of the week. Even the monorail didn't bother me. I'll admit that you tend to forget it's Gotham and keep thinking that it's Chicago. That's ok with me and makes it seem even more realistic.
Too bad Batman can't leave Gotham and pursue crime in other known cities.
What, the crime bosses are relegated to Gotham? I think not. He went to Kong Kong so why not San Fran, Manhattan or Tampa. Doesn't always have to be Gotham.
We already had our Burton influenced Nolan in BB, it was called the "Narrows".
No thanks, there was a reason why the "Narrows" was never even brought up in TDK. Actually, did anyone else think bizarre that not even the "League of Shadows, their scheme and their actions were never brought up?!? An entire train system was destroyed yet nothing was mentioned.
Anyways, while I agree with MaulFan that a little of his roof top mystique was absent in TDK (only eluded too in the beginning with the thugs running scared when the signal was lit), overall i'll still take a based on "reality" Batman vs any attempt at another Gothic, fantasy one.
In the beginning when he jumps his car into the garage, well done and powerful and that was also part of his mysterious darkness, I wish they would've had more of that.
Anyways, please, no old looking vehicles or studio looking city streets in a Batman movie ever again.
Nolan is good all by himself.....
