in the first batman there's this cool razor's edge vibe in that whole pilgrimage to the himalayas or whatever but then valar morghulis and he fights some cartoonish gangsters. in the last one too the man with the weird mouth i couldn't understand, etc., batman "goes away" or maybe he's dead and it's good (ambiguity) but it's cartoons about occupy wallstreet.

the second one was indeed great not only because it was a great villain-- but because the scene in the boat, and the "good people" turning into assholes and the prisoners being the more honorable ones. that sort of ambiguity and poking at human nature and the edges of morality is what made it more than just entertainment-- the look at the "human condition" that you usually find in "serious" movies. didn't care for the ripped from the headlines pandering about surveillance though.

also, it looked great, but i don't think i saw the imax version, just the widescreen. that's always unfair to cinematography--compose in one frame and show in another. you get completely different movies.
