A little something I wrote out of boredom that is not in anyway finished but I liked the character's POV... And it's for a short story, so I really don't mind.

This is it. What we've waited for, for four years. The final movie of The Dark Knight trilogy. Does it end on a high note making it the greatest superhero trilogy of all time? Or does it disappoint like Spiderman 3? Find out here: Batman's Back B*tches! (Oh and so am I)
