Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale complete their Batman trilogy – following Batman Begins and The Dark Knight – with an ambitious, apocalyptic drama in which Tom Hardy's musclebound Bane is planning to wipe Gotham City off the map.

The odd thing is how little Batman has to do. He's a limping recluse for much of the film's first half, and he's rotting in jail for much of the second, so a vast supporting cast is left to do most of the work.
