Absolutely destroyed my faith in Nolan, who always previously seemed "Centrist Dad", politics-wise (i.e. largely inoffensive). As I said, the most bizarre thing about Gordon's speech is that Batman absolutely wasn't acting like that - he wasn't sticking his hands in filth - if anything, he was acting more like a holy martyr.Of course his most recent film's main crime was nothing at all like that, just absolutely dire sound mixing combined with a plot that was both barely coherent and needlessly complex in way that had essentially nothing interesting or clever to say. I remember he claimed the dire sound mixing was to try and keep audiences watching, but I don't buy it - and as some with ADHD (which in many people causes it to be harder to pick out voices from background noise) it was incredibly awful.There's a really funny Pitch Meeting about it:[MEDIA=youtube]t23ZEKqGHzs[/MEDIA]</blockquote>
