just saying there are sequels where you need to see the first one, Dark Knight just isn't one of them.

And I'm just saying that those sequels are few and far between. I'd say over 90% of sequels are stand a lone stories that don't rely on the first film much at all.

so then i guess "downplaying" the connection isn't all that big a deal. ;)

No, down playing the connection is as retarded as saying T1 and T2 aren't connected. You need to watch the first film to fully grasp the second. And that goes for both Batman and Terminator. But watching the first films aren't essential to following the story of the second film.
Another aspect you seem to miss and take for granted is you already know Batman, I'm assuming, and know him pretty well. You understand who he is, what he does. It makes sense to you to see a man dressed as a giant bat fighting crime. I know the target audience isn't so young but I know for a fact that if I was 6 years old right now I'd want to see Dark Knight, probably borrowed from a friends older brother's collection, and at 6 years old Begins would have come out when I was 2. I'd have no real frame of reference with regards to Batman and it would be essential for me at 6 to watch Begins in order to understand Dark Knight. And much more so than with most sequels.
So what I'm saying is to those that know not of Batman or Superheros Batman Begins is essential viewing.

LOL at the discussion. If I was to watch Dark Knight without watching Batman Begins, I will catch on and it will be a great movie for me. Now my wife, I love her, but she could care less about Batman. She watches Dark Knight, she's asking me all movie long why is this dude in a bat suit fighting the Joker. She watches Batman Begins, then watches Dark Knight, she understood and I watched Dark Knight in peace.
