Though I adore Christopher Nolan’s vision for the caped
crusader (sans the incomprehensible fight scenes, of course), I realize that it
isn’t for everyone. The Dark Knight was essentially a crime film featuring a
superhero. It made Batman a supporting
player in a story that made allusions to 911 and the USA PATRIOT Act. Perhaps that is why many fans found it just a
tad pretentious. Not to mention that
while Nolan can be heavy handed, his intent is sometimes murky. For that reason, an in-depth analysis of the
new trailer (or at least an attempt at one) might be in order.
