Not to mention a downright wretched predecessor, IMHO, in Batman Begins.

Hear, hear. I always point to pro sports, especially American football. I don't give a damn about the NFL, and mentally rolled my eyes whenever my former office would start dissecting the latest games, but I didn't wish, on the Internet or otherwise, that the institution would dramatically shrink, or even vanish. (Even though I think I could make solid arguments for why pro sports culture is bad for society in a way that dwarfs any potential downsides of comic book flicks.) I don't use this analogy to attack you, Canon Editor; rather, to promote a carefree, live-and-let live Zen attitude.
Wait, wait, wait… what do I have to do with all of this?
Anyways… no attack taken.
