In fact, there was so much that could be considered padding that I don't really recall because it was so damn busy. The film has enough material to be covered in 2-3 films. Harvey Dent, for example, could almost have one film with Batman to himself, and the Joker many.

Nolan really bit off - not more than he can chew - but more than what the film needed. By the time we get to the end of the film, the Hong Kong sojourn is long forgotten and virtually irrelevant. This whole part of the film seemed to be designed to splice a James Bond sequence into the action and didn't really serve the overall narrative.
