EDITORIAL: I think Nolan missed the point, don't you?

Admittedly, there are already too many articles on here on the subject of why we loved/hated (delete as applicable) TDKR but in the few I've read no one seems to have brought up an issue that for me is the most fundemental in Batman's character. Read on if you're not utterly sick of these articles...

OK like I said up there, there are too many of these things so I promise to keep it short.

When I saw Bane and everyone bitched about the costume I said "No worries, as long as they represent the character respectfully I can live without the mask."
They did OK. Not great but at least he had some brains.

When I saw Cat woman and everyone bitched about the costume I said "No worries, as lond as she's sexy as [frick] and the tension between her and Batman is tangible I can live without the whip."
On that count I think Hataway deserves the credit.

I didn't think I had to worry about the Batman character. i thought, having seen the first two, that Nolan understood his motivation and his deep psychological issues. I thought he understood that here was a man that by day had to pretend to live in the real world but underneath IS Batman.

It's my opinion that he would sooner fake his own death as Bruce Wayne so that he could rid himself of the burden of playing the playboy by day and truly devote himself to his one man war on crime. It was only characters such as Alfred who are concerned for his humanity that encourage him to remain a part of the real world. So to see him fake Batman's death so that he can live happily ever after (and with Selina Kyle no less?! Wasn't the whole point of that relationship that they could never actually be together? Wasn't that what made it interesting?!) as a normal, trouble free individual just goes against everything I ever thought Batman was.

There, rant over.

But one last thing.

"You should use your full name...ROBIN"

Give me a [frick]ing break.
