Hi Charles, first of all, could you tell us a bit
about yourself.
I
am the son of a
coal-miner's son, who escaped a life in the dark Appalachian mines by
joining
the U.S. military. Like most military-families, we moved around a bit. Eventually we settled in a small Virginia town called Hopewell, noted
for its myriad chemical factories. After high
school, having no desire to work in those factories, I choose to join
the Air Force, which allowed me to see much of
the world and do things most men have only dreamed about doing.
Thirty-two years later, after retiring from active duty, they paid me
handsomely to be a contractor helping the
Air Force reorganize their strategic forces for maximum effectiveness. Eventually I chose to leave those comfortable paychecks lest my life
pass me by before I could write my books.
This year comes the conclusion the Nolan-Saga that the fans have long awaited. Who expects a better film than the brilliant predecessor, will be disappointed. The last part of this series can not reach its heights. Why this is the case, you can read in this review. The story begins eight years after the second part. The peace returned to Gotham City and Batman retired, but a villain again begins to threaten the city. Now is more the time then ever that Batman is needed, to rescue Gotham of the hands of the ruthless mercenary called Bane. In difference to Joker, who symbolized Chaos, tries bane to archive anarchy through calculation. He give the people of Gotham many possibilities to hope for the better so he can crush them even more. His characterization is a double edged sword. For once, he is different than the joker and attacks Batman in different ways than him. On the other hand, were joker does all kind of crazy things all of a sudden, banes calculated everything, which makes all of his moves expected.
