Bleeding hell, why can't I add your page to my LJ list. Anyway, as for your review...

Personally, I think Nolan did a great job at showing how Gotham needs a hero. Throughout the entire movie, you see Gothamites terrified by all the people dying around them, and during Dent's press conference, the attendees kept complaining about "No more dead cops!" and whatnot.

I also disagree that the sonar technology was a deus ex machina. The basic concept for the technology was established early on in the film when Batman and Lucius had to find a way to capture that Asian dude, and knowing Batman's genius, it wouldn't be much of a stretch for him to apply that technology to a bigger scale.

If you've been keeping up with my own posts, you'd know what my gripes about the film are. That all said, I think the good vastly outweighs the bad, so this movie easily made for one of my favorite films.

In almost every incarnation of Two-Face, Harvey Dent was seen by the public as some shining figure. His eventual transformation into Two-Face is a big deal because it contrasts so much with how good Dent used to be, so Dent's role as the 'White Knight' was appropriate in this movie.

Nah, you don't need to be a paid member to add feeds. I'm on a plus account and I was able to friend your previous account and the XKCD feed.

The faq says that you need to be a paid member to -set up- a new feed, but it doesn't say much about friending feeds. How did you make your previous feed friend-able on LJ?
