Another question...
Who the hell is Christopher Nolan?! Bad guy, good guy, or simply a useful psy-ops tool? There is absolutely no way that this is a coincidence.

Now what about this:
When the movie DKR came out there was a lot of talk about the plot. I for one have studed batman for years and have the black and whites from the 30's on DVD.
People speculated that NOLAN was in the know about what was to come and the debate was, either he was going to expose the eilites plan in the movie or he was promoting it.
That is still the argument.
It really depends how you look at it.
A key scene for me is when "Blake" (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) has to deal with the police & military on the bridge at the end. That scene speaks VOLUMES about the stand off we are dealing with and will face.
That scene ends with him losing complete faith in the system and what his badge supposedly stood for.
Now that scene and a few others, make me think NOLAN was trying to expose the system. Who knows.
SIDENOTE -- There is left over footage that did NOT make it to the DVD. The movie was exactly 2:45 (Or whatever the IMAX Time allows) As it was exact, that means they cut scenes in order for it to fit the alotted time.
There are a few scenes you can tell were cut, including Bane and Batmans first Fight Scene. Some Diehard fans were very pissed about this and now with the DVD out, we will not see or know about those left over scenes, which may have been cut for a reason IE: Stanley Kubrick
