The only Bruce line I can recall at the moment is, "accomplice? I'm telling them it was your idea", which was playing off Alfred so your point stands.

Those fight scenes looked like a fighting game character being controlled by a button masher.

Dent wasn't one of the villains anymore than Uncle Ben's mugger was in
the first Spider-Man.

That's some elitist shit right there. Not that it's unexpected.

That's like saying you should take Bruce out of Batman Begins. The Dark Knight was about the tragic fall of Harvey Dent. Take Harvey out of the picture and there is no story.

It was a dark movie without anyone pushes the button so I don't see how it would've been needed.

that would've proved

The point was that Joker's theory wasn't valid. Look at Deebo's character. They made sure they picked the biggest, meanest negro they could find in order to show that this convicted murderer, wasn't about to blow up a boat full of people just to save his own life.

They wouldn't have put that in the comic.
