" With respect Master Wayne, perhaps this is a man that *you* don't fully understand, either..... some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn."
-- Alfred Pennyworth to Bruce Wayne in "The Dark Knight"
Some of the most important art of this century, at least in my opinion, are the second and third installments of the Dark Knight Trilogy. Unfortunately important works of art have strange associations in our society. The 1968 Beatles album that is commonly referred to as "the White Album" is perhaps the most famous example.
The group the FBI arrested for planning to violently overthrow the government of Michigan based their approach for putting the governor on trial comes straight from "The Dark Knight Rises" (2012). It is possible to trace their fantasy life back to the 1984 non-classic movie "Red Dawn," which provided the name "Wolverines," which the Michigan militia took on.

We are at the edge. The Michigan group was clearly as influenced by that, as the Manson family by the White Album. And they were just the tip of the iceberg.
