If this movie just could eliminate the fantasy comic book, unrealistic type of parts, it would have been near perfect. But the unrealistic comic book stuff brought it down two pegs. It was really unnecessary except to cater to the fans' expectations and desires.

If it wasn't for that stuff being included, I'd give it an 8, but because that stuff kept reminding me this was unreal fantasy comic book stuff, I have to reduce it because I just can't take it seriously. That's ultimately what made The Dark Knight so great; every fantasy-comic book unrealistic thing was explained and made to be real and believed.

6.5/10, and that little girl deserves an Oscar nomination.
