1) I'm with you there. As much as I love TDK, it's ultimately a big city/crime drama; I prefer the mythic sweep of Begins.
2) That's understandable. Luke has similar reservations about the new scores. But I don't think something big and bombastic like Burton's scores would've been appropriate for Nolan's world, so I love the approach Zimmer/Howard took. Some of the cues are just beautiful - I even own sheet music for one of them. Again, though, I think I prefer Begins' score to TDK's, which really didn't introduce anything new (other than a lovely, subtle theme for Harv).
3) So much of my desire for the third film died when Harvey did. WASTED POTENTIAL. I think his transformation was done about as well as it could be, given how much was going on in that film, but I agree that it should've been waited on. Because Two-Face is more than capable of carrying a whole narrative on his shoulders if you set him up right. Sad, sad.
