Writing a review for a film of this magnitude can be difficult.  Being the third film in a trilogy, the final piece of the ongoing story and having two fantastic films before it makes it hard to NOT have expectations going in.  With all of the clips, TV spots, photos, trailers, teasers and anything else the media has thrown around, we’ve been on Bat-overload for months now.  I’ve done my best to stay away from all of it, opting instead, for the self-imposed blackout.  I’m so glad I did because in doing so, it allowed the film to unfold for me in ways that it couldn’t have otherwise.
