The mere thought of penning a piece on a film with the amount of buzz and hype that The Dark Knight has garnered has proven to be an overwhelming prospect, to say the least. But for a film that had earned an iconic status in the realm of comic book adaptations and big budget blockbusters months before it even began filming, a project that requested so much of its A-list stars that the chilling prospect exists that it drove a young, now immortalized actor to his premature grave; and a movie that broke every box office record imaginable, the idea that the essence of such a tour de force would be difficult to articulate seems all too appropriate.

Batman Begins is about fear, while The Dark Knight is about the escalation from fear to anarchy.

Sarah Krusleski: What is the origin of this painting here (on the first floor of the library)?
Keeli Robinson: I don't know. I read the little caption when I sat down. I'm sure it was a local artist from the Ship Channel or something like that.
Krusleski: How do you feel about sitting next to old people like this?

Out of all the conservative states in the nation, ours bleeds the deepest shade of red. Texas Republicans have long enjoyed swimming in the conservative lagoon that these fair lands have offered them, and the majority of Texans have supported their pool party for decades, as progressive dissidents around the state could do little but bite their tongues or move to Austin.
