Oh! Sniper!

Seriously, I just came back to delete the whole Post. Aye. ::)

I'm going back to bed. Some days it just doesn't pay...

Crime doesn't pay. Just ask the Batman.

The film was great. Not quite the impact that The Dark Knight offered, seriously though how easy was that going to be anyway, but equally impressive on most accounts and a completely satisfying conclusion. Acting was top notch, but Anne Hathaway stole the show. TDKR suffered slightly in the second act but picked up steam for a finale that featured the best and most intense 25 minutes of the trilogy and a final shot that will send chills down your spine. Bane is a force, Hardy did Batman villains justice, but it's more about what he accomplishes, the destruction he afflicts that is the true character. And lookout, Morgan Freeman even gets in to a little action.

I believe the appropriate term is comic book "geek." Ahem.

Trust me, not much of a spoiler, and I'm very anti-spoiler so nothing more from me I promise!

Very much so, Karl, these three films are all very connected in plot.

The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils.
The motions of his spirit are dull as night,
And his affections dark as Erebus.
Let no such man be trusted.

I like the line "questions are being raised."  By whom?  (Other than the author of this article, of course.)
