but appeasing, kind of like ordering pizza when you're too lazy too cook. Killing off Bruce Wayne, or even leaving his fate undetermined, probably would have riled up Batman fans more than Arkham Asylum inmates on cell-cleaning day. And I think Nolan is done with this franchise, at least he should be. He has nothing more to accomplish with this story. He's given us big movies with big ideas and definitely brought an intelligence and gravitas back to summer action flicks. Dark Knight Rises certainly has its flaws, but it successfully wrapped the Batman trilogy, despite being saddled with the most over-the-top expectations we've seen since Obama's inauguration. As a fan, I'm tempted to shout "Four more films!" but like Bruce Wayne, it's time to pass the cape and cowl.
