Finally watched Dark Knight Rises
It is a good thing I only wanted to watch it for Catwoman, because she was awesome, but everything else was very mediocre.
Okay, I actually also like the twist with Talia and Bane, and their backstory (except, you know, the white washing and the exoticism), although I didn't actually like how little Talia did (and very little about Bane). I was mostly struck by how muddled, confused, half-assed and downright nastily most of the themes and especially the political themes were handled. But yeah, Catwoman kicked ass, and we even had a Holly Robinson who didn't have that name even if she was dropped like everything else latter in the movie. Also I could have appreciated the No Man's Land elements more if, well, it didn't remind me of how awesome characters like Babs, Helena, Cass and Renée were in No Man's Land *ahem*, and likewise, I spent a lot of time wanting to slap Robin (*groans*) Blake more because he was yet another whitestraightmale in this movie than due to anything about his characterization.
