Line 129:
* [[The Scrappy]]: Rachel Dawes. The recasting arguably led to her being [[Rescued From the Scrappy Heap]]; unfortunately, it was just a prelude to being [[Stuffed Into the Fridge]].
* [[Straw Man Has a Point]]: At one point Lucius Fox bemoans that the government didn't consider a soldier's life worth $300,000 for a high-tech bodysuit. Actually the government would have to spend $437,058,600,000. That's just for the suits, and just one of each for each member of active duty military personnel, not counting replacements and spares (of the suits) and reservists (of the personnel). And that's for a suit that Bruce apparently ''couldn't turn his head very well in'' in its original iteration. Just to be clear, that's already approaching the budget for the '''entire US military'''. Add in the additional costs of suits for reservists and everyone having at least one spare in case theirs was destroyed in combat, and the suits would cost almost four times the entire military's budget, just for ground troop body armor.
** Two-Face's lambasting of Gordon as being responsible for Rachel's death and his disfigurement is actually pretty accurate. As noted above, Gordon was more likely to protect the corrupt cops on his force rather than rooting them out, and that fairly heavily contributed to most of the evil that happened in the second movie.
* [[True Art Is Angsty]]: ''The Dark Knight'' is easily the darkest film adaptation of Batman ever made. It's also the most critically-acclaimed. The Dark Knight Rises is about the same, maybe even moreso.
* [[Villain Decay]]: Scarecrow. He starts off as the [[Big Bad]] of [[Batman Begins]], or so we think. Ra's Al Ghul returns, revealing that Scarecrow is just [[The Dragon]]. It gets worse when he is taken down in the end by Rachel Dawes and a stun gun. He shows up at the beginning of the [[Dark Knight]] as a lowly drug dealer and is quickly apprehended by the end of the scene.
