is a conservative who believes in elite rule. The Dark Knight series was written by foaming, batshit (pun) wingnut, Frank Miller. Here's an old WSJ piece celebrating Nolan for his veiled tribute to Bush:

the Nolan Bat films were not based on Miller's The Dark Knight Returns". (the new Superman movie is though).
The sources were everything from the Adams/O'Neil first Ras al Ghul stories to the "No Man's Land" story in the 90s.
Nolan is quiet about his politics, but he did support Obama.

As for crap, Inception is one of the most brilliant films of the last 20 years.

So you a basically wrong on every point.

On the other hand, I love Rundgren.
