The villians here are a little flat and sloppily executed compared to such memorable moments like the pencil scene or the overly creepy-casual of Cillian Murphy who makes a brief appearance in this as well - As the Executioner Judge of Gotham! It just seemed there wasn't enough time to add any new character depth with how heavily saturated the story is. Once the final act began to escalate it became apparent there was little room for anything but narrative.

There's once again a minor framing of recent political views but it's kept to a superficial level of detail and minimal screen time. Also, there is far more overlap in this with Batman Begins than with the Dark Knight, which seemed a little odd but I'm pressuming this was out of respect for Heath Ledger, there is almost no mention of the Joker other than the aftermath he left. Despite all that it seemed to squeek just ahead of the rest in terms of just getting it right and conclusion of the trilogy.

...After the Joel Schumacher atrocities I find Nolan's approach to be almost flawless in contrast. This is the closure and sincere apology from the film industry that many fans desperately needed since the summer of '95. - 4.9/5
