I think, with the lack of good movies so far this year, TDK has a lot of people excited because it is one of the very few quality movies to have been released in 2008. I really enjoyed it and while I wouldn't call it the greatest movie ever, I was thinking after I saw it "finally, a good movie," after seeing so many shitty ones this year.Add to that the death of Heath Ledger/his hyped up portrayal of the Joker, the intense viral marketing, and the fact that Batman Begins had a decently large following and I'd say it's pretty easy to see why there are so many fans of the movie right now.
So to answer your question, "Are The Dark Knight fans becoming really really annoying?" I would have to say "no." I mean seriously, the way people are responding to this movie is nothing compared to the fanboys of so many other things out there who've been annoying as hell for a much longer period of time.
I think this movie deserves the recognition and response it has recieved. Of course there will be annoying fans, but overall, I just say let it be.
I can see where you are coming from and I can only disagree on you with a few points such as there being so many shitty movies this Summer. I think this Summer has been a great one, especially compared to last Summer with crap like Spider-Man 3, Pirates 3, and a mediocre Harry Potter 5. This Summer, Iron Man was great, HULK was very good, Hancock was surprisingly good, I've heard good things about Wanted, and you already know I loved Hellboy 2. And yes, The Dark Knight was great as well, and I do want to see it again before it leaves theaters. As far as letting it be, all the fan hype, how can I? What else do I have to do right now? I'm at work, I got some down time, why not get in some discussion about The Dark Knight and how the fans are annoying me? It's okay, it's not like I hate them, I just find them annoying and wanted to make a thread about it. I can do that. I have every right. I am an American. Go Joe! And SnakeEyes, you and I have always gotten along well, and I don't want this to ruin that, so take my banter with a grain of salt. I do like The Dark Knight.

Well, then why not put it in the off topic forum? Putting it here just seems kind of trollish.

You're right, there've been some good summer movies (for me notably Wall-E and Iron Man), but I was more referencing they year as a whole. I can't think of anything memorable until Iron Man came out.
And I wasn't trying to question/challenge your right to start this thread, I think it's a fine topic, but I guess I was just attempting to justify the annoying Batfan behavior to help you understand so that possibly your annoyance-level could decrease. So really, I was just looking out for your best interest!
Don't worry, there are no hard feelings on my end, we're still pals.

I liked The Dark Knight, I thought it was a very good movie, I mean it was no Big LeBowski or anything . . . but damn, it's just a movie. Sure it beat a bunch of box office records and whatnot, but it's a film. Yeah, I get excited about other movies, but damn, some people are acting as if The Dark Knight is a better action film than the first Die Hard.Discuss. hmm
Not as annoying as Star Wars fans.
