Just finished watching this, and really enjoyed it. Not as good at TDK, but better than Begins, I felt.
A few things that caught my attention:
-Anne Hathaway looks really good in long hair. Makes that butcher job done on her for her next role even harder to look at.
-Will he be Batman, Nightwing or Robin? And are we going to find out?
-A place the size of Gotham (Manhattan) only has 3000-ish cops? It was said that "all the cops" were down in the sewers, and that they had 3000 of them. You figure that some didn't go, and estimate that generously at 1000.
I had to do some math here. There are roughly 35,000 police in all of New York. There are 5 boroughs, and I can't find exact breakdowns, so split it evenly, and call it 7000. Ok, not too bad. But the current population of Manhattan is 1.6 million...and in the movie, they were talking about the bomb killing 12 million people. That's 7.5 times as many people, so you'd need 52500 cops to keep an eye on them all. Gotham either has an incredibly low crime rate to have 4000-ish cops watching over 12 million people, or is a retired Batman worth 48500 cops?
