					<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s my second favorite of The Dark Knight Trilogy, still without liking it very much, but I&#039;m one of the few who kind of despise Batman Begins.  DKR has more &lt;i&gt;to&lt;/i&gt; like, I think: any scene with Hardy&#039;s Bane, the overall concept of Gotham fallen into anarchy if not how it got there (honestly, it feels political but it can&#039;t be given that it&#039;s a James Bond plot stretched out to a year--there are simply no analogies to make except to, like, Lord of the Flies or something), the bits openly riffing on Knightfall, and, oh, Cillian Murphy&#039;s Scarecrow is always a pleasure, kinda wish he&#039;d gotten a real movie of his own, but maybe that would&#039;ve ruined it.

But it&#039;s also too long, too up its own butt, and too slapdash in the themes it has (feels like there were a lot of movies around this time, though I&#039;m only remembering Skyfall, where the first act had an idea to render its icon as aging and physically diminished that neither the second nor third acts bothered to remember, and it was annoying as hell in both, more a simulation of a theme than a theme itself).  I also find it hard to be super stoked about Batman movies about nuclear bombs (or whatever it was).  It&#039;s not nearly as dumb as the final season of Gotham, however, which doesn&#039;t even have a nuke. Man, that show got bad.]]></description>
