"Now that it’s over, Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy seems likely to be remembered as the definitive populist statement of our time."
Those films with blatant fascistic undertones, the most muddled politics, and ill-motivated anti-authoritarian villains you've ever seen? This is the definitive populist…

I'm surprised everyone has overlooked my favorite joke of the night, and maybe great running joke of the series: Dennis' failed before they get off the ground entrepreneurial efforts - suicide insurance.
