I fully respect that you didn't like The Dark Knight, but the reasons you list are quite silly.

For me it has to be The Dark Knight. Why is that?
1) The Joker's plan is beyond human. He knows Batman is gonna save Harvey so he shoots a bazooka in the direction of Harvey's vehicle because he knows Batman is gonna jump out of nowhere to intercept the shot. He knows how quick Batman is and how a-little-less-quick the police is so that he can send Batman to save Harvey and send the police to fail to save Rachel. Joker is left in the interrogation room with a guard watching him from the inside, (the cop could watch him through the one way glass, you know the same way he watched him a couple of moments ago), he isn't handcuffed or transported to a cell because that would be too logical. He is left right to some pieces of glass which he will use to take a cop hostage.
3) At the bank:
Joker's man (the one he argued with) had no problem in shooting another clown (in just 2 seconds) but he waits like forever to shoot Joker.
Some people tried to defend that part saying:
"The Clown would want to see if he was right (if Joker wanted to shoot him), he wanted an answer, that?s why he waited."
But I say:
This is stupid, why would he want an answer; I mean at that point he realized that he couldn't trust anyone from his team, so an answer would be pointless.
Many people said that this is a nitpick, but actually it?s not, this scene is very important because Joker could die right at the beginning of the movie.
And for the possibility of Joker having a bulletproof vest, the movie never establish that, but if you want to assume that he had one any way, it would be only fair to assume that the others had bulletproof vests as well, so in order to kill each other they were using special bullets. In the end, saying that Joker had a bulletproof vest it?s not a good argument.
The point of Nolan's Joker is that he doesn't really have a plan. He just does stuff to see what happens, and he considers himself a winner however things turn out, even if he dies along the way. In some aspects, especially if he dies. It's fairly obvious that he's completely fearless and has quite a literal death wish.
In the bank, the clown was specifically instructed to kill one of the members of the heist, the guy who opened the vault. He was not instructed to kill the clown who turned out to be the Joker.
- So what if he hadn't gotten instructions? You might ask.
Well, for 1. Maybe that clown was supposed to fill a key function in the original plan. A function that he would not be able to perform himself in order to get away with the money.
And 2. If he had just shot all of the other clowns he could possibly face retribution from the Joker, a prospect he might not be willing to risk.
And as a final point, if the Joker was shot in the opening scene, there wouldn't have been a movie. So there's that.
Very nitpicky indeed.

2) Nolan wanted Dent's story to be more realistic (the comic book version was to crazy for Nolan) but he manage to make very unrealistic.
While a person could reasonably survive the burning, it is worth noting that it is not possible to leave the muscles and eyeballs exposed without the tissue becoming highly infected and necrotic (dying). Immediate surgery and skin would have been required. Harvey also makes facial expressions that are not possible, since his muscles are so badly damaged. It's also not possible for him to speak as clearly as he does, since half his lips and cheek are missing.
The big question is: Can Dent survive with his burnt face as much as he did in the movie?
The answer: His chances are very low (10%-2%) also even if he survives as log as he does, after 2 or 3 hours spent outside he will be so sick, he will not be able to walk.
I thought this was a comic book movie, not a documentary on the heroic struggles of a burn victim.
The visuals are designed, not to spark discussion among the medical community about possible treatments of horrific burn injuries, but to elicit a specific response from the audience with regards to the character. Harvey Dent has lost his humanity to a greater extent than he has lost his face, and the visuals of his injury reflect that beautifully.
Also, considering the kinds of technologies that exist in Batman's universe, it's quite possible that fictional treatments existed in that world which allowed Harveys face to be the way it was.
OT: No Country for Old Men had some brilliant scenes, but the movie was godawful. It was boring, it never developed any of the storylines it set out with and many characters are completely useless and add nothing to the story.
