Weren't we told this before The Dark Knight Rises was even announced properly?

I'm not surprised you didn't like it if you went in expecting it to just tell you vigilantes are "cool". That's essentially the complete opposite of the film's intention.
I love how you simplify a part of my message and say "you went in expecting it to just tell you vigilantes are "cool"." I never once said that was my purpose of going to see this movie, I was simply stating that Nolans Batman neither brought out the cool or "Dark Knight" factor as the Burtons Batman did. If you had read the last part of my comment you should have been able to put two and two together and figure out I'm one of those guys who watches Batman movies for the villians story. I honestly hate Batman as a character all around (Superman is better =P ), just stating my opinion that Burtons Batman is far superior.
Batman to me was always the line of good and bad, he had dark traits that he used against other bad guys...Bale couldn't pull that vibe off to save his life where as Keaton just came natural to the role (perhaps it was his beetlejuice experience) If you can't keep interest in the main character the rest of the story falls apart around it. Heath Ledger destroyed Bales performance, and the best parts of the movie (for me) were scenes without Batman in it. When we finally got to the epic conclusion the fight scenes were lackluster (and shite) and my favorite villian died a rather odd death.
Please halt from putting words in other peoples mouths as I would come to expect you to be some sort of internet lawyer. Respect others opinions as they would respect yours.
"Respect others opinions as they would respect yours."
Calm down granddad, I hardly insulted your opinion, I'm sure you'll live. My opinions are my opinions, people shouldn't respect them unless they share the same opinion.
From your post I got: "Batman does matter to me, as I've just said it destroyed Nolan's films and made me like Burton's. Also, there are no interesting villains now they've killed off my favourite. Burton made vigilantes look cool, this is what I really liked, Nolan didn't do this."
"Nolans batman offends both my eyes and ears when he's on screen, where as Burtons batman makes me actually think about how cool it would be to be a costumed vigilante."
I.e. Burton's films showed me the message I wanted it to be given, Nolan's did it poorly. The first bit is fine, but deriding Nolan's films for doing something poorly (again, this is what I got from what you said) when that wasn't the point in the first place, is stupid.
Now, if that's not what you meant, fine, but if you expect someone to extract a meaning from your post ("I only care about villains!") don't include something contradictory ("Nolan's Batman destroyed his film, Keaton's Batman was able to show me what I wanted and helped make the film's great!").
