SEMI-SPOILERY DARK KNIGHT RISES MUSING after cut. I’m admittedly a Gaiman mark so I tend to see his influence everywhere but. . .
The Pit with the “hope in hell” and the “fearing the fall”. . . just me?
hmmm now that you mention it...I was trying to point my finger on where that came from. I have a feeling that the 'hope in hell' motif, we
know from Gaiman, but it must be an archetypal motif and we just don't know the older source of it.
