The title of the thread is a joke, to poke fun at the fact that here we have a priest, giving us detailed analysis of a batman movie and how its writers took things from religion/mythology to make the plot deep on so many levels. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect a priest to analyze a batman movie and do it so well.

The point he made about how violence just feeds on violence was dead on. This is clearly stated in the scene where batman beats up the joker, and the joker just feeds off of that instead of fighting back. Thats just brilliant in how that scene was written with that idea in mind.

Or how he mentions that neo has to surrender himself by choosing to take the pill without knowing what might happen. Thats also taken from religion and how people are told that they must blindly believe. Brilliant script writing. They could have had him just put on a space ship or something to get "saved", but they used things from religion/mythology to make it deeper.
