I can see the comparison between The Dark Knight and videogames as a whole though. The Dark Knight was incredibly popular and loved by the vast majority of people, but a small group of snooty elitist critics kept it from being fully recognized for its quality.

Huh? Are we talking about the same movie here? The Dark Knight has a ridiculously high rating on rottentomatoes, with an average rating of "A" out of a scale from A+ to F. It won two Academy Awards and got nominated for another six. It ended up on 34 critics' top ten lists, including 9 picks for best film of the year.

You must be thinking of that other Batman movie, the one with Liam Neeson.

I'm mainly talking about the academy awards. Notice I said "small group," and said that majority opinion was positive.

TheThunder: I didn't insult you at all, so don't take it that way. You're free to not like the movie, but you're also not a influential film critic (unless you really are, in which case, cool beans!).

Goddog: No. That's actually kind of insulting. Many of his henchmen were people with personality disorders (such as schizophrenia), but I doubt any of them were retarded.

And Batman Begins was awesome.
