What the fuck is the difference between self-importance and pretentiousness, beyond mere subjectivity?
I don't see how this question relates to any of my own; nor how it may in any way be a defence of
The Dark Knight.
Self-importance and pretentious aren't very far away from one another; I think
The Dark Knight is pretentious in its self-promotion of "serious psychological drama". You can't make serious psychological drama out of the Batman character. You can't make socially relevant and politically sophisticated drama out of Gotham City, either, for that matter.
We've been through this.
