Because before these movies, pretty much all the batman movies haven't been very good (Lie to yourself, go ahead I don't care) Nothing really took up the dark undertones of the stories as well as these have and if you're not a fan of the fandom (As lulzy as that sounds) This is going to be a very okayish not amazing but watchable film. It's the spectacle of seeing the story in a new light, and not just the almost comical, embaressingly written 80-90's films that were... okay they were fun but... Didn't capture things in such a way that it drew you in to believe this could actually be happening. It was like watching the comicbooks performed live on stage. Pretty cool, but... lacking.
My mother had the same reaction while me and my father had to put buckets under our feets to make sure the floor was not stained with drool.
I like the Batman Mythos. So it's hard for me not to like these films.
I wasn't one of the 'Joker-fanatics' I enjoyed the whole thing. I was sitting in anticipation to see Harvey Dent's unwraveling and It did NOT disappoint.
The inaccurices in the story do not bother me either. It's a story, stories need flaws to actually be interesting. The writers took liberties with some of the backgrounds of the characters yes, but not in a way I feel destroyed anything so substantially, fans should get out their torches and pitchforks. It's like a really really good fanfic if I had to compare it to anything (Jokes about there being no such thing can go dive off a high cliff and shuddup, heard em all)
