I'm an unapologetic Chris Nolan fan (because, again, no one greenlights films about things I'm interested in NOT made by problematic Tories or whatever) but seriously that "hero Gotham needs/deserves speech is infinitely confusing and makes more sense

And this is Gotham's own fault, their own apathy and corruption created a system that can never be fixed from the inside, it can only have someone like Batman doing damage control from the outside, and that's what the grimdark world of a city that needs superheroes means

(This is mostly contradicted by what plays out in TDKR but whatever)

I always thought of it as saying that Gotham really ought to appreciate that they have Batman because he IS a force for good, but because Dent’s reputation has to remain untarnished, Batman’s heroism must be repudiated and disavowed, and that’s a tragedy.

boy does that point of view get undermined when in the next movie its led to a massive increase in police power and the cops form a fucking phalanx against occupy wallstreet
