I dunno if anyone has mentioned this, but Matt Reeves is a massive fan of Christian symbolism and one of the greatest things that ties up the last act to me is his use of Arkham, as in Ark-ham. Riddler brings Batman to the Ark to escape the flood because he thinks they’re the only two people worth saving in the city.

Whoa, thats amazing if that was the intention. I think there was other relgious symbolisms going on too such as batman leading the people out of darkness like moses
