<p>Batman's voice in Dark Knight just sounded retarded. I thought Gotham was better portrayed in Batman Begins, too. The city was pretty obviously Chicago in TDK, while in Batman Begins, it felt more like Gotham with its slums and crazy monorail.</p>
<p>Also: Katie Holmes > Maggie Gyllenhaal </p>
<p>TDK definitely has better villains, though.</p>
<p>Yes, Batman begins is better in that regard.</p>
<p>In fact, the scene where the police are marching through the streets during Commissioner Loeb's funeral is reminiscent of the St. Patrick's Day parade scene in The Fugitive (which was set in Chicago).</p>
<p>Can someone explain to me why this movie is so good (why is has betting getting such good reviews)? I watched the Dark Night myself and I feel that it is severely over hyped! It was an above average movie, but nothing "revolutionary." Hell, I thought Will Smith's Hancock was pure genius compared to the Dark Night!</p>
