you really think the studio execs were cool with Nolan dropping "Batman" altogether and just going with "The Dark Knight" for the sequel's title?
Ummm, yeah. Obviously they did that, didn't they? Not to mention, The Dark Knight was an original title (a comic? I don't know.. thats just heresay, but whocares, its cool)
but uh. Is this an argument? I don't see where your going with this.
I agree with this...

the third film is where Gotham as a whole comes to realize that Batman is not only the hero it needed, but also the one it desereved. this is when he TRULY rises.

.....by the end of the second film, The Dark Knight Falls.
Yeah, okay. He does TRULY rise. He is finally the hero and gets recognition. Let's throw a party.
...and I disagree with this:

in TDK, that prescence is challenged, tested to the limit, and essentially, broken by what the Joker had done.
Now, see, I don't understand your logic with this statement. He is BROKEN and tested. Tested, and he does survive, but doesn't that mean he ROSE to a challenge, doesn't that mean he ROSE above the joker breaking him? You seem to contradict what you're saying, but whatever.
Let me rephrase. Batman three SHOULD BE CALLED
BATMAN: CHAMPION OF GOTHAM
BECAUSE
A: He finally realizes and embraces his full potential (or lets hope so) and
B: He isn't RISING but has already RISEN and is therefore a hero, or, CHAMPION,
DURING FILM THREE of the city he is protecting.
