But I'd argue that The Dark Knight Rises is more of a Zeitgeist film than you are giving it credit for. Maybe even more than The Dark Knight? The film foresaw the Occupy Wall Street movement (and Tea Party?) in its analysis of the financial crisis in America, disguised as a Batman storyline. It still blows my mind that Nolan made such a politically relevant film and I'm hoping Neill Blomkamp's Elysium will be just as thoughtful.
