'The Dark Knight Rises' Review: Batman Battles Bane, Nolan Nukes Occupy Wall Street

The conservative themes coursing through "The Dark Knight" were no accident.

"The Dark Knight Rises," the third and final installment in director Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy, pushes the ideological envelope even further than before. It's impossible not to feel Nolan's disgust at Occupy Wall Street, a movement the film paints as both incoherent and violent courtesy of a class warfare villain armed with nuclear weaponry.

But Nolan isn't simply sending out barely coded messages to conservatives. He's brought the trilogy to a close in rousing fashion, leveraging bravura set pieces meant to convey the scope of the best comic book series ever committed to film.

Unfortunately,stigma from the Aurora incident will steal the proverbial thunder,turning what would hace been a major motion picture event into a major incident.The additional security may or may not ease peoples feelings about going to the movies,but locally expect to see more Deputies and private security.
