I’ve been very vocal about my mixed opinions on Christopher Nolan‘s, The Dark Knight Rises. The film is filled with football stadium-sized plot holes, and for all of the realism that Nolan was going for; this film has the most comic book-y qualities to it. Oh hey, we’ll just punch your spine back into place, no big deal.
