I really enjoyed the movie, but I've come to the same conclusion as you. Sure there are some wild theories floating around that call into question the foundations of the movie, but I personally feel that everything except the ending was cut and dry. It wasn't like Memento where you leave the movie questioning every little thing.

I'd say that it's my second favourite Nolan directed movie after Memento.

Agreed. He makes great movies and if I'd have to rate them in order I'd say.

1.Momento

2. Inception

3. Prestige

4. Batman

5. Dark Knight

Until someone explains to me why Batman had to take the fall in the Gotham City's media for Harvey's death...instead of blaming the Joker which would pretty much be the truth...Dark Knight stays on the bottom.

Several possible answers to your question:

* The beginning of the The Dark Knight, you see a bunch of people dressing up as Batman and doing vigilantee work in his name.  They are out of control.  In short he was too much of a hero.

* The entire thing with the Joker taking down Dent needed to be kept secret, so that Dent remains as an hero figure who worked within the law.  They were able to spin it so that Batman is wanted for questioning (a character like Batman is always wanted for questioning).  By having things the way it is now, Batman is really outside the law.  Batman is free to do whatever he will do, and not have to answer questions by the authorities.  The Police can say they know nothing of his actions. 

Well, that is my take.  Batman ends up able to do his job and left alone, and the law turns a blind eye to his actions.
