My interpretation of the socio-political themes.
Regarding the politics of TDKR, I interpret it as Classically Liberal, or Libertarian film. Bane seems to be a Marxist-esque Revolutionary, similar to Che Guevara, seducing the people of Gotham (particularly the lower/middle classes) with collectivist rhetoric, to revolt against the higher classes,...

Did you guys think Bane and Talia were good villains?
BUT this movie depicted Bane as working to satisfy TWO PEOPLE. I could care less if Dent makes decisions based on a coin flip or if Catwoman steals because of circumstance or whatever. They were still acting for themselves and not for someone else's flesh and blood. But Bane was serving the ideals ...

Changes I would have made to TDKR
How was this Bane not the anti-batman? Both have a strange voice, Bruce's face is covered whereas bane's mouth is covered, both are strong and intelligent, both do what they do for the love of a woman (rachel, talia) but whereas Bruce wanted to be good and just because rachel was a good and just pe...

Did you guys think Bane and Talia were good villains?
I believe they were great villains following Joker and Two-Face. There's no one else in the gallery that could have provided a story of this scale, which was instrumental in creating a film that is on par with, if not better than, The Dark Knight. Here are my thoughts on Bane and Talia: Joker demon...

Changes I would have made to TDKR
Stupid thought. :facepalm: Intelligent response? I don't agree with the guys premise or much of the points, but I think he has some interesting ideas about Bane, the movies themes and the ending. I'd like to see what people thoughts are about that. I get that Nolan wanted to raise the stakes and sc...

Changes I would have made to TDKR
1.) Not have Bruce be crippled. Have him have been training intensely for 8 years, eager to return as Batman (which is similar to what's in the actual movie, in that he eagerly wanted to return as Batman). This way, it'll make Bane look better in that he crushed a Batman all trained up, also I thin...

TDKR did not realize its true potential (Possible Spoilers)
I read it but this shouldn't have happened in the first place. You had to REALIZE and accept. They distracted from your enjoyment of the film. Yes for stealing and probably being dangerous but that doesn't answer the question of how she was so skilled (you can do something all your life an never be...

Did you not read what I wrote immediately after that? I said "after some thought I realized that most of those reasons(complaints) were irrational" I read it but this shouldn't have happened in the first place. You had to REALIZE and accept. They distracted from your enjoyment of the film. Genius w...

TDKR did not realize its true potential (Possible Spoilers)
If there's one thing I agree with in Breck's post, is how Blake knew Bruce was Batman just because of a "look on his face". Seriously, this is not consistent at all. Then again, it's more symbolic than anything else. But if we take it from a logical perspective, it's not tangible at all. The rest o...

TDKR did not realize its true potential (Possible Spoilers)
I was disappointed after the first viewing for a few reasons and didn't walk out with a better reaction than to when I first saw Inception but after some thought I realized that most of those reasons were irrational. One being the Robin thing but I quickly realized that he wouldn't be wearing green...
