For the record, I personally love the Automotion etc. stuff, when it's done right on a good TV. In fact, you mentioned the Dark Knight, and that's one of my favorite movies to use it on. IMO, it really brings out the details in relatively slow-moving camera scenes with people in it. To the point where it looks like the actors are standing right there in front of me. I know that's cliche, but it's true.

It however doesn't work well with steady cam, at least for this one movie I watched recently that I can't remember the name of, and nature shows -- at least, for Planet Earth with fast moving bird scenes.
