The thing with The Dark Knight was they managed to craft an action drama with reasonable relationships to current events and did it in a way that didn't overtly criticize current American policy. Essentially, they praised it. The bad guys were bad. There wasn't any effort to explain why they were bad. In fact they mocked that by showing the Joker giving different explanations for his scars. Batman tortured, crossed international boundaries, spied on people and you don't come out of it thinking he's the villain. Now, of course these concepts are consistent with the most popular comic depictions of the Bat but rarely would we see that type of depiction make it to the big screen and then the obvious allusions to current events dismissed, ignored, or overlooked.
Disagreeing with my points above is acceptable but to outright dismiss them is retarted. Just a little self-depricating humor there. Typos and mis-edits from me are quite regular as I am usually beating back my two and a half year old while typing. Should have spell checked but it's funner the way it is!
