* VillainDecay: Scarecrow. He starts off as the BigBad of ''Film/BatmanBegins'', or so we think. Ra's Al Ghul returns, revealing that Scarecrow is just TheDragon. 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 ''Film/TheDarkKnight'' as a lowly drug dealer and is quickly apprehended by the end of the scene.
** Intentional to show the effect Batman is having and to show that the days of the Mob are over and replaced by men like The Joker. And to be fair, Scarecrow's challenge to Batman has always been a psychological one. Once Batman created an antidote to the toxin, Scarecrow is just a skinny guy in a burlap mask.
* VisualEffectsOfAwesome: Most of the effects were done in-camera, instead of with CGI. Yes, even the scene in which an eighteen-wheel semi flips over. [[http://www.cracked.com/article_19140_8-movie-special-effects-you-wont-believe-arent-cgi.html Because ''that's how Batman would do it.'']]
** And the destruction of the plane at the beginning of ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises''? Yeah that was a real plane.

** There's also a similar MisaimedFandom towards [[Film/BatmanBegins Ra's al Ghul]]. Consider, for example, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqHp9vLCYzM this video,]] where some users in the comments section were saying they prefer Ra's al Ghul's philosophy to Batman's, even going so far as to say that Ra's al Ghul had the right idea whereas Batman was just foolishly defending a city with no hope. For what it's worth, there's a difference between agreeing with a NietzscheWannabe and agreeing with a KnightTemplar WellIntentionedExtremist, but the overall issue is the same; people agreeing with the villain a little more than the director probably intended.
** Some fans seem to focus more on Bane's aims of helping the oppressed masses and overthrowing the corrupt rather than the fact Bane himself doesn't give two craps about them: they're stated to be false hope to poison the city's collective souls before Bane [[NukeEm blows the place sky-high.]]
* {{Misblamed}}: Nolan sometimes gets called out for replacing Katie Holmes with Maggie Gyllenhaal. In reality, Holmes chose to not return, so she could be in the film ''Mad Money''.
