I agree, whilst you can watch The Dark Knight on many different levels i.e. Seeing the whole theme of Duality or completely ignoring it and seeing it as an action movie. There was nothing particularly innovative (for lack of a better word) about the theme and symbolism. For me, i was watching it as an action movie and i loved it. The symbolism is nice but it isn't what makes the movie great.
