I have yet to see the new Batman movie, because my policy is always wait at least a week after opening. Also, I usually go to the earliest showing possible. Anywhoo, there is all this talk about how it parallels modern times with political themes, but I can’t comment on that – yet. However, I read a great quote in the latest EW:

“Superman is how America views itself. Batman is how the rest of the world views America.” – Michael Caine
