I do remember a lot of Dark Knight discussion in these forums. I'm pretty sure its box office figures were also used to put down Skull. I wouldn't say the hate for Skull was due to Dark Knight?s supporters at all, but there certainly seemed to be a correlation.
This is an absurd statement.
It could be as simple as just enjoying the character of Indiana Jones more than Batman. To me, The Dark Knight fails to live up to its own rules. If you want to be taken seriously, then don't pack your movie with a zillion plot holes. The entire second half of the movie is littered with characters making one dumb or illogical decision after another.
1) Two-Face NOT shooting the murderer of his love. Instead, he goes after Gordon (?!)
2) Batman going out of his way to avoid killing the Joker.
3) The Joker escaping from jail. Because you need a cop to guard someone who is inside a locked room?
4) Batman taking the fall for Two-Face?s death when it could have just as easily been blamed on the mob boss or it could have just as easily been left as an unsolved murder.
The problem with those decisions is they exist solely to set up a potential sequel. The so called moral questions in the film fall flat for me as well. I don?t know what?s wrong with killing evil people. Sorry, but the character of Batman in this film is not the type of hero that I wish to spend time with. I mean, how horrible of an ending would it have been if in TOD Indy tried to save Mola Ram from falling? Or warned all the Nazi to cover their eyes in Raiders?
