Chris Nolan needs to acquaint himself with Occam's razer. His plotting is so ridiculously overcomplicated as to be nonsensical. Nolon also seems to have forgotten the basic rule of visual storyteliing: show, don't tell. DKR is filled with characters delivering awkward expositionary dialog, perhaps because Nolan realizes on some level that the story can't stand on its own as self-explanatory. This may be the most overrated franchise of all time.
