The Dark Knight Rises

Some insignificant doodles after I saw the new Batman film.

Unlike most people, I think the purest form that Batman has appeared in is the Warner Brothers animated series in the 90s. I think they covered everything that makes Batman great, all the elements were there, visually, in terms of character and writing. I think the people who have seen it agree. It has Batman, using actual detective skill, Nolan touched upon it in places, but I think it's one of the stronger elements of the character. Seeing as he is just an ordinary guy, in a powers sense.


I like the comics and have really rated the Morrison and Snyder runs recently.
I think Nolan has done a decent job. I still think that as individual films they are flawed. I'm not convinced 'The Dark Knight' is a great film, after Rachel is killed it loses it's way for me. Though as a trilogy, a journey of emotion it makes more sense and feels complete.

Plus, it is a vast improvement over the film that includes the line "It's Ice to see you".
