My only other minor complaint is the implication that Gotham is in the South (mentioned in a one-off comment). It's not.
I think you misunderstood. I took Alfred's remark to mean that Gotham was the northern end of the "Underground Railroad" that freed slaves were brought to by Bruce's ancestor.
I liked this movie very much, even though it wasn't all that I was counting on. There were too many pointless 'splosions, for example. Knowing Darren Aronofsky had been attached to this project, and then that Christopher Nolan had gotten the nod, I was expecting sort of a cross between Memento and Pi: a gritty, paranoid, small-on-effects thinker of a movie.
We got a lot of that, but we also got the aforementioned 'splosions and car chases and villains with ill-defined motives. And Christian Bale's face looks chubby in the cowl.
Still, the casting was perfect, and...hang on. I'm going to spin off this comment into the post in my own journal I was about to make anyway.
Someone passes around the weaponized hallucinogens...
