The Dark Knight trilogy question

After you watch Dark Knight Rises does it bug you that Batman took eight years off after what happened in The Dark Knight?When you watch TDKR it seems like that Rachel's death was what drove him to retirement.I mean I am fine with it making Bruce Wayne depressed and making him never wanting to leave the house.I just don't know if I buy that it was enough to make him hang up the cape.The whole zero crime in Gotham was stupid.So a DA dies and it makes Gotham come together.Every decent size city is gonna have crime.I wish either they focused more on Batman killing Harvey Dent on TDKR or change up the ending of TDK and have Batman kill Joker.

He was Batman for pretty much less than a year.
That makes Bruce Wayne seem like a pussy.

Did they ever say there was zero crime im gotham? I dont remember that. I think they got rid of the mob problem, but i dont think they said there wasnt crime anymore

I once read a batman novel (can't remember the name for it was a long Time ago) but Batman had pretty much disappeared and Gotham city got cut off from the mainland and pretty much the city went to shite. Gangs took over and Nightwing was trying to straighten things up.
At one part Nightwing was in serious danger and they describe a batman like figure saving him.
I know kinda got off track. But my point was that I guess I'm okay with his break since I had read about one in a novel one time haha

I thought it was because they pinned Harvey's death on him...nothing to do with Rachel

Well, he retired because the Gotham Police Force was also on a full manhunt for him and would have almost certainly caught him if he kept it up. I really wish TDKR would have scene like this where Batman almost gets killed by the police instead of merely toying with them: LINK
On a sidenote, why didn't they just make that blond cop in TDKR Bullock? That's the position he's in in the series, will say "frick everything" for a shot at getting Batman, wants to one up Gordon, but in the end will stand up for what he believes is morally right. That pretty much sounds exactly like him, but instead they went with some original character no one gave a damn about in the end (even the fans). It would have been extra awesome to have him played by James Gandolfini.

I kind of figured part of why he wasn't around as Batman was because of what happened in the Dark Knight. But the idea was that the city no longer needed Batman. Even if it had petty crime, there was no need for Batman any longer. Up until the Dark Knight Rises, and the events in that movie. Which sort of forced him out of retirement.

I think this thread further illustrates the various plot deficiencies in TDKR. I enjoyed the movie, and thought Hardy's Bane was fantastic, but this was easily the worst movie of the trilogy.
