I love the Nolan Batman movies, even with all their flaws. His Bruce/Batman and his manpain I am less enamored with as I get older, but I love his Gotham, which is both heightened and strange, but I also love how grounded and vivid it feels to me. In some Gothams, I don't feel like there are actual people going about their lives in it, but I I always get the sense, when I watch his Batman movies, is that Gotham is a much bigger city than just Batman and the few people he interacts with, and I love that about it.

I tried rewatching Inception and got bored, but The Dark Knight? I could watch that city's drama unfold over and over again. (Even the shitty prisoner's dilemma scene. EVEN THAT.)

Damn, now I need to reread Gotham Central too.
