If there was a whole city being besieged by a psychotic terrorist or an evil ninja cult, a mere ten-second flight away from Metropolis, then why the hell would Clark not do anything about it? If Superman existed in the Nolan-verse, then TDK would have ended about two minutes into the opening bank robbery scene.
All this you can apply to the general concept of crossovers, though. How do you feel about crime running rampant in Gotham with a whole universe of heroes existing in the comics? If we got passed that in the books we could accept it on screen. I have no answer for what you're pointing out, it makes sense, but it's something me and many others got over already.
