We are in agreement.
A blockbuster movie with conservative themes made here in Pittsburgh? Our local Democrat hacks will never live it down.
Was TDKR made in Pittsburgh? Who woulda thunk? I thought Gotham was a metaphor for NYC....
I especially liked:
But it was not just a shortage of financial capital that ruined Gotham: moral capital was deficient too. Gotham’s social order was based on a lie: that Batman was evil and that the crusading District Attorney Harvey Dent died as a righteous martyr. As I pointed out in my review of the other two films in the series, the Platonic (and Machiavellian) useful lie is a major theme of the trilogy, and as I expected the lie would be found to be an inadequate foundation for long-term civil order. Alfred Pennyweather, the moral voice of the story, argues that it’s time to stop suppressing the truth, that truth must in the end have its day and be allowed to speak, whatever the consequences. Commissioner Gordon, the promulgator of the lie, is wracked with guilt and indecision about the lie and longs to correct it. Eventually, Bane uses the lie against the city, depriving it of legitimacy.
It’s entertaining, believe me! It’s a long movie but it really grabs you.

Great. My son and oldest daughter are coming to the house and then going to see it with us. Mama’s treat, of course. So she’ll have a great time, which means I’ll have a good time
When Mama’s happy...
It is one of those rare movies that I can probably watch over and over. The number of lessons in life are in the dozens. The last twenty minutes of the movie....probably make it a five-star movie.
