1) No, I think you'll find that there's a great blend of the realistic and the fantastic there. And the fantastic doesn't necessarily mean unrealistic. There's a lot of comicbook essence in the movies. And a lot of people have had their chance to put their stamp on comicbook characters, and a lot of times, its been for the benefit of the character. This, although not being in the comics is one of those times. Are you saying that TDK was bad?

4) "everything is about [Batman's] crossing to erradicate crime"

''I still feel like TDKR doesn't have enough Batman. And it couldn't be about fighting crime (until half the movie) because there wasn't crime'' --ADour, 2013

Okay, yes, the civil identity of a character being shown doesn't mean we're looking at is humanity, correct. That's not what I'm saying, though. What I said was, "we already know the mask, he doesn't have to be wearing the mask for us to look at the emotions behind it", so I'm already assuming that you can show the humanity of Bruce Wayne when he is Batman. But you can also see it very clearly in the first chunk of TDKR. As you said, we saw him "broken and 'no one needs me'". These are very human feelings. He was questioning the need of Batman, and his efforts to be a symbol and a here, as "he's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now." What's more, he was broken-hearted. These are all very human things, and further demonstrate his humanity.

5) Well, I thought we saw him rise. Even if he died, he rose. Even if he died, he overcame. You're focusing too much on the physical, rather than the symbolic, which is so heavily what the entire trilogy is about. And yeah, I love the those story arcs that you described and the "Hell yeah!" feeling you get at the end. And there is a "Hell yeah!" feeling at the end of this trilogy, but it's a little more complex and intellectual (which in a way, kinda makes it even more "Hell yeah!").

8) Well, I just disagree that there's a reason to be disappointed. I think the film is amazing. 1) That he died is definitely debateable. 2) Teamwork. What's wrong with that? 3) It's not about payback. As a an (ex?) Spider-Man fan, I thought you'd understand that. 4) Which made his victory that much more glorious, the story that much more tense and epic, and the plot that much more brilliant.

11) Sorry, I started writing my response before you posted the second bit. Well, I just didn't feel that they were rushed. I felt like they were given the right importance. And like I said in my last post, I don't think the twist made Bane any less intelligent or evil. He certainly was not just a thug.
