On the 'bits it could've done without' tip - Gordon faking his own death for no particular reason.
this did seem sorta pointless (why was concealing his identity as the driver important...?) but otoh I loved the scene where Gordon shows up at his house and his wife slaps him

re: protecting his family, uh why wouldn't his family already be under super high-security protection...?

He could've at least got someone he trusted (like, say, Batman) to tell his folks what the score was.

Actually I was trying to figure out who he did tell, if anyone. (I presume that the van detail that day didn't involve them going "Yeah, get that driver in the fetish outfit.")

I would also like to say that I appreciate that Nolan does not put any shitty rock music in his superhero movies

The score was alright too, not too schmaltzy or manipulative - it just got you pumped for the action.

Talking of the thugs, what became of Mafia Maroni's little visit to the hospital, where he said "This is too much, I'll tell you where the Joker is this afternoon". I can't recall that leading to anything.
― Alba, Thursday, 31 July 2008 18:39 (fifteen years ago) link
Gordon was marshalling the police to raid the boat he was on with all the money but then the hospital bombing threat took a little precedence.
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 31 July 2008 18:40 (fifteen years ago) link
the cops were all on their way to where Joker was burning the money, then the hospital threat thing went down...? But yeah that transition didn't make a lot of sense
