I think the movie was really tightly directed. The plot needed you to follow carefully and you had to fill some of the blanks in your head, but they really weren't that hard to fill at all.
That being said, Bane is no Joker, that's for sure. I like the story of TDKR a little more than TDK, but TDK had such a compelling villain (and an outstanding portrayal by Ledger) that it pretty much even things up for me.
