Movie Mole Review of Dark Knight Rises as an anti-occupy rationalization of the police state
The Dark Knight Ruses: Joe Clement and Iven Hale discuss the failure of Christopher Nolan's latest Batman film to live up to the rumors about its representation of the Occupy Movement, and how the film instead rationalizes a police state, and bears closer comparison to the French Revolution or the Occupation of Iraq. Although Anne Hathaway's Selina Kyle at first seems a kind of individualist libertarian, the possibility of class analysis is undermined by the end of the film, reinforcing its testosterone-fueled misogyny.
