I don't disagree with any of those explanations. I don't mind suspending reality or taking a few leaps of faith. I find that movies go too far though.
I think what happens is Nolan, and most other writers and directors, want the splash page type scenes and it doesn't always fit nicely into the plot.
The entire sequence with Dent in the police van was pointless. There are a million safer ways they could have transported him and even if they drove him they could have gone a different way that didn't trap them underground. But I totally understand that those scenes helped make that movie and the Joker character so awesome.
As I said in my original post I really loved The Dark Knight but I think I have yet to see a comic book movie that I loved. Sin City was great. Watchmen was great. Dark Knight was better than either of those.
I'm really excited to see what Darren Aronofsky can do with Wolverine. And I'm happy they kept Hugh Jackman. I just read an article he's bulking up. No more skinny Wolverine.
