I'm sorry, but I'm still dwelling on the whole nuclear bomb subplot of TDKR, because it completely took me out of the movie. Is Nolan that stupid that he is ignorant of Hiroshima & Nagasaki, the fallout from nuclear tests in Nevada and the Pacific, Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, and Fukushima? Gotham was screwed no matter how far Batman could have driven out the bomb with his batwing; Talia and the League of Shadows had already won if the rules of reality took effect. But no, this whole subplot makes me think that Nolan is a fucking idiot and/or he hated the Batman franchise at this moment and wanted to sabotage the third film. And for a trilogy that focused on a realistic take on the comic book character, having it end where a human being can survive a nuclear explosion (KOTCS anyone?) and nuclear fallout does not exist (so Wayne enterprises made a perfect cold fusion reactor that would not produce any radiation? WTF), it breaks the spine of the whole fucking trilogy! This is bad writing that is not only offensive, but an insult to the audience and should be a capital crime. Because of Nolan, we have twice as many terrible Batman movies as we would have had they buried the franchise with Schumacher. I feel sorry for fans of the comic book character, who have seen their hero fail seven times in a row. This is Nolan's Phantom Menace, hands down.
