Honestly the best superhero film I have ever seen, the common background of Bane and Bruce, Selina's redemption arc, Bruce's final act/sacrifice, the direction and fights are nothing short of excellent

Marion's performance in TDKR was great! She was great villain, and her revelation to Batman/Bruce Wayne in the end of the film is one of the best moments of the entire Trilogy. For me, Marion's character - Talia - is much more interestingMarion's performance in TDKR was great! She was great villain, and her revelation to Batman/Bruce Wayne in the end of the film is one of the best moments of the entire Trilogy. For me, Marion's character - Talia - is much more interesting that Hathaway's. Because she has strong belief, strong faith in The League of Shadows. Her plan was smashing. Understanding that it all comes out of the shadows, out of her, all that things Bane makes, gives me incredible pleasure when I watch the movie and highlights this film from others comic-book movies. And gives incredibly catcy connection between the first and third films of the Trilogy.

I really, really love Marion in The Dark Knight Rises, as well as in Inception. She is perfect actress for Nolan.

In addition, she was able to play so great after just nothing after birth of her son, and this is really feat

This movie, yet another state-of-the-at work by Christopher Nolan, with a beautiful story and delightful acting provides an epitome of a conclusion to the protagonist's journey spread over three movie.

Nolan goes big here, focusing less on gritty realism and more on crafting something wide in scope and ambition. The threat this time isn’t just to the sanity or the soul of Gotham, but to its very life. Bane is out to destroy the city inNolan goes big here, focusing less on gritty realism and more on crafting something wide in scope and ambition. The threat this time isn’t just to the sanity or the soul of Gotham, but to its very life. Bane is out to destroy the city in every way possible. To break its spirit and then raze it to the ground, fulfilling Ra’s Al Ghul’s legacy and avenging his death.

Bane’s plan has a kind of Bond villain level of genius to it. I’m not going to bother summarizing the movie science behind it, because I’m not a movie scientist, but it involves destroying all but one of the bridges leading into Gotham and forcing the American military to prevent citizens from leaving the city. Forcing them, of course, by using a nuclear bomb to hold the city hostage. If one person makes it across the bridge, Gotham will be destroyed. Although the bomb is set to go off in six months anyway. Why give the citizens of Gotham hope if they’re going to die anyway? So that Bruce can see them suffer while he languishes in the hellish prison where Bane grew up.

With Batman out of commission–and as far as anyone in Gotham knows, dead–it’s up to people like Commissioner Gordon (Gary Oldman) to fight back against Bane and his mercenary army. Oldman, as always, gives a solid performance. Jim Gordon is worn out, burdened by the lie he’s had to uphold for eight years–that Harvey Dent, the man who tried to kill Gordon’s child, was a hero, and that Batman was a villain. Joining him is an idealistic young cop, John Blake (Joseph Gordon-Levitt). JGL is extremely likeable, but beneath his handsome charm is the same anger that drives Bruce Wayne. Blake and Gordon play well off each other, a grounded take on the age-old rookie/veteran pairing.


Warner Bros.
And yet Gordon never says that he’s “too old for this ****

In fact, the whole cast is pretty damn excellent. Nolan has not one, but two (!) strong, engaging female characters here. Two! Anne Hathaway is fantastic here, crafting a fascinating character. Selina Kyle is engaging and seductive, dangerous and cunning. But also damaged by a hard life, and yearning for something better. Selina is well used in the film, but ultimately it’s Hathaway’s performance that makes the character work.


Warner Bros.
And maybe also the outfit.

Marion Cotillard’s Miranda Tate is equally alluring, but a match for Bruce’s willpower. Her character, even before an important third act revelation, is defined by her convictions. You don’t have to stop there, we’re in spoiler country. Ah, right. The revelation that she is, in fact, Talia Al Ghul is handled perfectly. It doesn’t feel forced at all. Not so much a twist as an interesting layer to her character. Talia Al Ghul, for the uninitiated, is Ra’s Al Ghul’s daughter. I could go on about her in the comics, but this review is getting long enough. I’ll just say that Nolan’s interpretation treats her as a worthy heir to Ra’s.

The rest of the cast is just as solid. Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine return to their respective roles of Lucius Fox and Alfred, both acting as Bruce’s moral compass. Alfred, especially, plays a significant role in Bruce’s emotional journey. Many of the film’s key emotional scenes focus on the relationship between the butler-turned-father-figure and his stubborn Master Wayne.

And I guess that brings me to the ending. I thought that it was perfect. I’ve read reviews complaining that it’s too happy, and that it feels like “fan service.” I’m gonna have to politely disagree there. The end of the film, with Batman faking his death and retiring with Selina to live a normal life spent making, as a friend said, “ass-kicking babies,” is the emotional payoff that the series deserved. And the one it needed.

Ultimately, that’s what this movie is about—Bruce Wayne learning to be a real person. Because he hasn’t been yet. He’s invested so much time in Batman that he’s driven himself too far inside. And now he gets to rise out of the shadows of the past and into a brighter future. Get it?

This is Gotham city at its finest, it looks great it looks big and honestly so beautiful it really gives the plot some depth with all the different places that look and sound so different. Needless to say the cinematography is my favourite part of this movie and it does the comics justice. The choreography for the fight scenes peaked in this series from the fight with bane in the dark and the well that batman has to escape. The emotional depth in this movie is surprising considering it's a superhero movie, the scene in the well where Bruce is imprisoned is amazingly well shot and acted it is brilliant and needs to have more recognition. The cast is amazing especially when it comes to the fights, Micheal Cain was amazing as usual but definitely the best performance in this trilogy especially when it came to that ending scene when he starts crying at the foot of Bruce's grave and says that he could have done better and the reveal of Robin finding the bat cave is an amazing ending that sadly wont be expanded on Expand

I think Marion Cotillard did an excellent job portraying Miranda as a true idealist in the movie. I feel she is Katie Holmes’s Rachel Dawes with a personality. During Bruce’s seclusion, Miranda constantly asks to speak with him. Moreover, Alfred and Fox try to convince Bruce that she is “quite lovely” to no avail. Of course, Bruce also talks to Miranda at the charity ball. He proceeds to insult the person who is holding the ball since he believes that the “Proceeds go to the big fat spread. It’s not about charity, it’s about feeding the ego of whichever society hag laid this on.” However, Miranda forces Bruce to eat his words as she notes that it is her party and that she paid for the spread herself so that all the proceeds will go to charity. She also states to Bruce that she continues to support the idea of the clean energy project, which secretly produced the fusion reactor. Despite the money it has lost her, she believes in investing in and trying to better the world no matter the cost. I also like the notion that Miranda sees right through Bruce’s playboy disguise as she tells him “You have a practiced apathy, Mr. Wayne. But a man who doesn’t care about the world doesn’t spend half his fortune on a plan to save it and isn’t so wounded when it fails that he goes into hiding.” I really bought Miranda as an idealist when I first saw the movie. While I originally felt disappointed that Bruce would not end up with Selina as they had great chemistry on screen, I came to accept that Miranda is just as moral as Bruce and an acceptable match. Of course, Miranda also gains Bruce’s trust as he entrusts her to take over as CEO and take possession of the fusion reactor after Daggett’s hostile corporate takeover attempt.

The rest of the movie is the reason TDKR is my favorite ending for any movie. As Batman is in the Bat hauling the nuclear bomb to sea, I come to the realization that Nolan may actually do it: it is the end of his trilogy and he is going to kill off Batman to end it. As the timer on the bomb ticks to 5 seconds, I start to concede that my worst fears have been realized and I begin getting depressed as I am convinced that not even Batman can escape from the blast radius of a nuclear bomb. Next, they cut to the scene of Bruce’s funeral at Wayne Manor. As only a few people know he is Batman, only Gordon, Blake, Fox, an Alfred attend the funeral. Gordon gives the perfect eulogy: “I see a beautiful city and a brilliant people, rising from this abyss. I see the lives, for which I lay down my life: peaceful, useful, prosperous and happy. I see that I hold a sanctuary in their hearts, and in the hearts of their descendants, generations hence. It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to, than I have ever known”. The poetic eulogy is straight from the last two pages of A Tale of Two Cities. In that book, Sydney Carton is sacrificing his life in order to save the life of his doppelganger and husband to the woman he loves. After a life wasted in depravity, these final thoughts before he is killed by guillotine symbolize Carton’s redemption and the rise of Paris from the reign of terror caused by the French Revolution. Similarly in TDKR, it represents the redemption of Batman’s legacy as the people of Gotham finally know about his good deeds and the rise of Gotham after Bane’s reign of terror. As a result, the eulogy is the perfect parallel that connects both stories

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Your first problem is thinking of the twist in terms of Talia, but let's start there anyway. Talia's represents a more personalized form of blowback. The Dark Knight Rises explores Bruce primarily under that context to begin with, the physical, and mental consequences of every choice he's made in the city. Instead of writing a perfect protagonist as an altar for petty wish fulfillment-- the typical use of the 'hero' in these big summer stories -- Bruce's path was one with grave mistakes, and they've consumed him. One mistake was being naive enough to become indoctrinated by the league, another was murdering Ra's. That's important, because while Talia herself is an underperformed and underwritten role, by exploiting Bruce's rarely seen intimate side, her turn as Talia carries vital importance in bringing full circle the damage Bruce has left in his wake back to his forefront. It's why the reveal only makes thematic sense that late in the film: the final dramatic core of the film only functions if we have a poignant reminder of his actions. If you can't empathize with her as a character, you can certainly find satisfaction in her role within the internal logic of the movie, its significance to the main character, and the broader aspirations of The Dark Knight Rises as a whole. That alone makes it a flippin' fantastic twist, since in the span of a few minutes Nolan's given a neat thematic bow to some of the most important moments of the trilogy, bringing everything full circle. If only my posts had that level of economy. But, that's looking at it strictly in terms of Talia. This is almost a technical point, but it is an important one. Nolan used the reveal around the 'child' to provide a one-two punch twist, and he used the expectations all of us fans had against us to do it. Let me explain. Fans familiar with the comics would identify Tate as Talia pretty simply. Not only has the League returned, but Bruce has a love interest, which Talia was in the comics. That'd be a big coincidence. Bane's reshaped backstory as 'the child' would seem like Nolan's typical dance of adapting comic elements to his own ends, so nobody would think twice and suspect the second 'twist', that Talia is in fact the child, not Bane. So, there was 'two' twists for the general audience, but there would be another, and more significant, twist for the core fans. Finally, and most simply to explain, the twist deepens the most important relationship in the film-- that between Bruce and Bane. Continuing the motif of Bane as a tragic mirror of what Bruce could have been, both characters wield an innate self-sacrificing thirst to do justice and protect the innocent, and both are forced to wear a mask because of that attribute. They are both offered a path, and, initially, they took it. Without the twist, Bane's role as representing everything Bruce almost was, everything he's dangerously close to being, is rendered impotent Expand

Where the Joker tested and called out the rules of both BatmanThe Dark Knight Rises provides a suitable story to raise the level of isolated chaos and anarchy presented in the second film to bigger stage of takeover and societal control. Where the Joker tested and called out the rules of both Batman and the public he serves, Bane battles the system above the rules and beyond the city's social boundaries.

Those raised stakes fit the grounded-yet-still-grim fantasy world Christopher Nolan has created and operated within throughout this trilogy. Remember, you're still watching a comic book movie. You're going to get villainous monologues and over-the-top circumstances requiring the necessary suspension of disbelief for the genre. If one critic calls these factors flaws, I'm going to call them par for the course. Tom Hardy's speechifying here is no different than Liam Neeson's ominous doctrines from Batman Begins or Heath Ledger's warped psychological hubris from The Dark Knight. What Bane does bigger than those two previous enemies is back it up with brute force and a true physical challenge for Batman. The mood is as dark as the title and there is plenty of symbolism, theology, and morality to discuss in a spoiler-friendly setting afterwards. Those calculated strengths, shared by its predecessors, elevates The Dark Knight Rises's story and meaning atmospheres higher than any other comic book franchise, The Avengers and Spider-Man included.

I mean to paint with a broad brush when I say this next statement. Every technical element of The Dark Knight Rises's filmmaking is as close to perfect as possible, with an emphasis on "film." The epic scope of quality matches the hype. Nolan and his trusty cinematographer Wally Pfister made it a point to shoot entirely on film (some IMAX and no digital photography or 3D) and use as few digital effects as possible. The result is some of the year's best imagery, lighting, camera movement, and stunt work. Composer Hans Zimmer also returns for another arduous score of infused chanted voices and familiar booming themes. All of those elements together ratchet up the realism and scale of one eye-popping set piece after another. The "wow" moments here might outnumber those of The Avengers. It might have to go to the judge's scorecard for a decision.

Even with all of that backing of technical prowess and perfection, none of those moments would be possible without this coup of a cast assembled for the finale. Christian Bale, in this writer's opinion, has put to bed the petty British and method acting doubts of how good or bad his Bruce Wayne/Batman would be. I'll say it now. He's the truest and best Batman we've ever had. Michael Caine's masterful emotional anchor and continued devotion to Bruce as Alfred may have you wiping tears away during some moments. While the deep masked voice of Bane is occasionally difficult to interpret (as was feared), Tom Hardy conveys a physical performance with his eyes and presence that's better than some actors' entire arsenals. No one can match the raw sizzle of Michelle Pfieffer's iconic take on Catwoman from Batman Returns, but, to my surprise, Anne Hathaway more than matches the character's moral flexibility, ambiguity to good and evil, and inner torment between right and wrong. Out of everyone, Joseph Gordon-Levitt might just steal the show in The Dark Knight Rises. He's the closest this movie has to a moral narrator and emotional lens and his character's growth matches ours as an audience.

In talking about the performances from the cast, I'll end with what I think has always been the strongest element to this trilogy, the thing that separates it from the rest of its genre: CHARACTERIZATION. In so many comic book films, our heroes and villains end up one-dimensional and single-minded. That's never been the case here with Christopher Nolan's new and challenging interpretations on 70+ year old characters of American literary fiction. Those who know the comic roots of Batman, know that Nolan and his team have added so much positive characterization to each role. Every character is beyond three-dimensional and fleshed out with dynamic emotions, origins, strengths, flaws, victories, losses, goals, and fates. All of our original core characters and our new entries each have their culminating moments for their characterization that makes The Dark Knight Rises a fitting and deserving conclusion to this now-historic and classic trilogy. As Richard Roeper will tell you (and I concur with), the last five minutes of The Dark Knight Rises are best five minutes you will see in a movie all year. We are truly privileged for getting to see this vision of an American legend played out in three extremely excellent and rewarding films. Finally, please, Warner Brothers, what ever you do, do not reboot this character in again in our lifetimes. Let this trilogy be the iconic vision for generations to come. Come back in fifty years, not five

Batman Begins‘ Scarecrow focused on fear while The Joker in The Dark Knight was all about wreaking chaos out of order. Bane is neither of those things, he is just a seemingly unstoppable juggernaut. Nolan has said for the character of Bane, he imagined a classic movie monster with an impressive brain, and that is what he and Hardy deliver. Improving on his 1-dimensional comic book counterpart, Bane is a man whose intellect defies his massive size. In previous films Batman may have met his physical match in R’as al Ghul or had his intelligence challenged by The Joker’s insanity, but Bane matches Batman intellectually AND overpowers him physically, making him perhaps his greatest challenge in the series. Tom Hardy gained 30 pounds of muscle mass to play the role and adopted a posh, cultured accent that adds to the menace.

Ah yes, I was wondering what would break first. Your spirit… or your body.


The most memorable scene in the film is the breaking of Batman by Bane. What makes this all the more memorable is the fact that while Hans Zimmer composes a magnificent score that resonates throughout the entire film, this scene is completely without music. All you hear is the awesome sound effects of Bane’s steps (they practically thunder when he walks), the wet smacking punches of Batman’s futile strikes, the devastating blows by Bane, the screams of Batman in agony and Bane’s constant running commentary. Never has there been a hero/villain fight with SO many quotable moments. Even more chilling is the fact that Bane’s henchman are just standing around without interfering. They know their leader has this well in hand, and he does. Batman’s fall is inevitable. Much has been made by critics that the reveal of Miranda Tate being both R’as Al Ghul’s daughter and the ultimate mastermind of the villainous plot reduces Bane to a henchman role. To that I say: then doesn’t that make Darth Vader a “henchman”? Yet he remains probably the most recognizable screen villain of all time. This reveal doesn’t diminish Bane’s effectiveness, yet adds a layer of complexity (the fact that he did it all for the love of Talia) to the monster. This is an empty criticism. Bane has cemented himself as one of the greatest villains of all time.

I once (famously, I might add) described The Dark Knight trilogy as being akin to a perfect three-course meal. Batman Begins is the starter, a nice little warm-up which gets you excited for bigger things to come. The Dark Knight is the main course, arguably the best part of the meal. It’s the meatiest and tastiest part which leaves you completely satisfied. The Dark Knight Rises is the dessert. It’s just as good as the main course, but in a completely different way. Depending on your taste, it could even surpass it as it rounds everything off to perfection. Expand

Exponentially more so when we realized that his efforts to incite the commoners sounded eerily similar to those espoused by Occupy Wall Street around the same time. But despite director Christopher Nolan’s denial of a Dark Knight Rises political agenda, it’s not necessarily even the mirrored reflection of the real world’s socio-political climate that makes it so enthralling. It was the taut narrative focus of the story that makes it the best of three. The problem with The Dark Knight, and one that’s rarely discussed, is that we’re introduced to a new villain with twenty minutes remaining, and the film problematically overstays its welcome. Never mind the fact that Harvey Dent’s transition into Two-Face feels rushed and somewhat underdeveloped. Rises, on the other hand, expertly delivers on a fully realized ensemble, each participant with clear motivations, no one actor stealing the spotlight and inadvertently appropriating the movie as their own acting showcase. Which made this less a movie about Batman or Bane or Jim Gordon, and more a movie about Gotham, the brutally unforgiving urban landscape that made them all what they are. Expand

Indeed, his third film in the trilogy, The Dark Knight Rises, was not only the best of the three but is arguably one of the finest movies ever made, a true achievement of the cinematic arts, certainly worthy of an Alfred Hitchcock or a John Ford. It also may be the single most important defense of Western civilization ever to reach a Hollywood screen. That the severe cultural liberals of the West Coast didn’t rip it to shreds indicates they probably didn’t watch it—or perhaps didn’t understand it Expand

So now, in the midst of a national nightmare of violence, disease, and ill will, we might look back at a presciently creepy film from 2012, Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises.

In fact, Nolan’s TDKR—part of a Batman trilogy, released from 2005 to 2012—is regarded as both a commercial triumph and a classic of contemporary cinema.

We might also add that Nolan is at least some kind of conservative; TDKR is unabashedly pro-police and anti-radical, even as it takes the dramatic license of making the bad guy, Bane, as vivid and interesting as the good guy, Batman. (In 2017, Nolan released Dunkirk, an overtly patriotic and admiring recollection of Britain’s miracle in World War Two

Despite these unconventional influences, The Dark Knight Rises isNolan has spoken openly about the fact that Rises was strongly influenced by French revolutionary literature, because that’s what audiences wanted from their superhero movies. Despite these unconventional influences, The Dark Knight Rises is a masterpiece—a compelling portrait of a decadent society in a time of crisis. The film was released in 2012, against the backdrop of the Great Recession and the subsequent Occupy Wall Street movement. However, Rises is not bound by its French Revolutionary influences nor its Obama-era release date. The most prescient film of the trilogy, Rises plays like a foreboding warning of things to come Expand

The sheer discipline that went into The Dark Knight Rises got me off more than anything else. It’s made of high-quality fibre and is densely and expertly threaded like a world-class T-shirt or carpet. And it is eighteen or nineteen times better than either of the Joel Schumacher or Tim Burton Batman films. When they say “stop your **** and just kick back and enjoy it for the movie-movie wows and adrenaline highs,” this is the kind of film they’re referring to — this is the gold and silver and bronze standard rolled into one.

TDKR is tight, tight, tight, tight. It breathes and moves and doesn’t feel turgid but God, it’s like it began as a four-hour movie and somehow Nolan whittled it down to 165 minutes. I can’t imagine how Nolan could tell the story he’s chosen and cram it all into a two-hour running time. It flew right the hell by, I can tell you that. (I was furious that I was forced to hit the head at the 75-minute mark.) And when something is flying by (as opposed to plodding or jogging by), you just stop caring about the problems and the speed-bumps, which TDKR certainly has if you really wanna go there.

Bruce is stripped ofMuch like Batman Begins, this for me reads like a Bruce Wayne story. Bruce has never been as fleshed out and complex as in the Nolan trilogy, and this is an even bigger journey for him than his origin story in Begins. Bruce is stripped of everything here, his money, equipment and even his body; he begins the film as a shut-in, a burnt-out husk; a hunched over cripple who never moved on after he hung up his cape and pissed away his business. We see him bested consistently by Selina Kyle, helpless without Alfred (about his keys to get in his house: "never needed them") totally suckered in by Talia, conquered by Bane; he literally loses everything to get back in touch with reality, which is a fantastic statement in itself. It's the most emotional of the Nolan trilogy and largely to Bruce's journey.

It's shot stunningly (looks superb in 4K), with insane cinematography, choreography and practical FX. While the runtime may be epic, so so much is covered and the film never drags its feet. Ann Hathaway is a welcome addition to the cast, at once sexy and strong and every bit as complex and contradictory as Bruce; Joseph Gordon Levitt is reliably likeable and entertaining and Gary Oldman and Michael Caine are captivating as ever and, for me the definitive takes on the iconic characters Commissioner Gordon and Alfred Pennyworth respectively.

It takes a great approach in really upping the scale, from the opening plane heist to the final city square battle and quest to save Gotham from an atom bomb. It rounds off the three stories very well with great tie-ins to The League of Shadows (as well as a great twist with the child in the prison I didn't call on first viewing), it recognised the chaos of the iconic Joker in TDK couldn't be replicated in this and went with a far different approach with Bane; with his limited screen time every scene counts where he oozes presence - built up fantastically with his hooded reveal and planned capture in the opening - with his unique voice and cold, calm approach (the complete opposite of Joker's chaos) to Gotham and Batman's destruction (both literally). What I like is, for all of the planned foils, how Bane literally beats Batman is, frankly, by battering **** out of him. Not something we're used to seeing.

The usual Nolan faults are evident in places; for example, while it's admirable that the exposition isn't insulting and the audience is never thought of as morons (unlike most films of this scale and budget) some really big things are literally set-up in one very fast dialogue exchange that if you stopped paying 100% attention for five seconds to pick your nose you'd potentially be F'd. It's coming from a good place though, and at least this was before he got too caught up with proving what a smartarse he is that the story got lost in the smart-arsery.

I could also have done without the Robin angle. However, the exchange between Alfred and Bruce on the stairs when Alfred leaves him after telling him the truth about Rachel's letter is heartbreaking; great writing and brilliant performances by both that moves me to tears. The scenes where broken Bruce is in Bane's prison are captivating (even if I'm fairly sure one of the "rise" chanting crowd is an old man who was naked on Celebrity Juice once with Ant & Dec). And the fight with Bane and Batman is possibly my favourite fight in all of cinema. I know there are more cinematic or better choreographed fights, but it's so powerful; Bruce knows very quickly he's no match for Bane but carries on anyway, the desperation in his voice and body language is heartbreaking to watch. It's made all the more powerful by the absence of score, it's really brutal for something light on visual violence, and Hardy's delivery of monologues throughout is endlessly quotable and, to be honest, ****ing awesome.

I love the capture of Gotham by Bane's army: trapping the cops underground, blowing the bridges and the destruction of the football stadium - oh, and Bane taking the time to stop and comment on the singing kid's "lovely, lovely voice" is genius! Marion Cottilard brings out my inner pervert (I agree that she's "quite lovely") and I've all the time in the world for Cillian Murphy, so I loved his cameo. It's a brilliantly crafted story and a marvel (excuse the pun, DC fans) to watch. Powerful is the operative word, and the ending gets me every time. Superior to The Dark Knight in my opinion, an amazing film, Batman's finest outing.

It had huge shoes to fill after the last installment, and it didn’t disappoint. I remeScreen Shot 2015-12-14 at 9.05.05 AMmber seeing this movie in theaters when I was 12 years old, and I was completely blown away. This was the film that made me the Batman fan I am today. It takes place 8 years after the events of The Dark Knight, and Gotham is peaceful until Bane takes over the city. I love the character of Bane in this movie. Tom Hardy did an amazing job portraying him. He has this presence about him that is very intimidating. Even his voice was menacing, almost like Darth Vader’s. I also really like how we get to see the most of the real side of Bruce Wayne. In the past movies we see a lot of the billionaire playboy persona that Bruce must use to hide his identity. In this movie we see a broken and emotional part of him that I don’t think we saw before. Christian Bale is spectacular as Bruce Wayne, and so is the rest of the cast in their roles that returned from the first two films. The Dark Knight Rises doesn’t even feel like a Batman movie, it feels like an epic war film. I really enjoyed the whole Batman and the police, versus Bane and his army of criminals aspect of the film. Anne Hathaway came on board to play Catwoman, and I really liked her as this character. She was kind of flirty and seductive, but she was also smart and could fight. The Dark Knight Rises also has my favorite fight scene of all-time. It’s the fight between Batman and Bane that takes place in a sewer, and it is choreographed to perfection. Every hit just felt so real and brutal, and the decision to not include any background music added to the raw beating our hero received. The score composed by Hans Zimmer is once again epic, and if you’re working out, I recommend you listen to this soundtrack. It will make you 35% stronger (I’m just kidding), but seriously it is really powerful and motivating. Some people complain about plot holes while watching this movie, and to them I say that when a film has as great acting, visuals, music, and story as The Dark Knight Rises has, then it doesn’t take anything away from the movie.

Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) goes from palace-dwelling hermit to warrior to crippled jailbird to super-warrior and yes, it’s all very exciting, butBane (Tom Hardy)’s arc in TDKR is probably the most interesting of the principal characters. Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) goes from palace-dwelling hermit to warrior to crippled jailbird to super-warrior and yes, it’s all very exciting, but nothing completely unexpected. Everybody in the auditorium knew that Bane broke Batman’s back, and that Batman escaped the prison regardless, so there were no real surprises in his story.

Catwoman (Anne Hathaway) did some sexy jumping around and allowed Batman to occasionally receive a taste of his own medicine, but her narrative was similarly predictable – will she help or hinder Batman? Will she do both? Oh, she sort of does both, and they end up in a café in France.

Bane, on the other hand, has a much more interesting story. In the beginning he seems like a completely 2D character – we know nothing of his background, or why he wears his mask, or how he got so big, or where he got his rather snazzy coat from. All we know is that he is big, and mean, and pissed off about something.

When Miranda Tate (Marion Cotillard) reveals herself to be Talia al-Ghul, daughter of Ra’s al Ghul and the true architect of Bane’s occupation of Gotham City, the audience’s perceptions of Bane switch completely. It’s a truly shocking moment that turns a good film into a great film – the twist changes Bane from psychotic dictator, a man with a personal army of insane freaks willing to do anything or go anywhere for him, into a protector; a misguided hero (relatively speaking) who, with total devotion, takes over an entire city and holds it in the palm of his giant hand, ready to be crushed at her say-so.

It’s not that Bane has no say in his own actions, or that Tate has tricked him; more that she is manipulating him into acting in a way that he thinks will make her interested in him. It’s a twisted love story, and one with disturbing undertones (as a young adult, Bane rescued the then-pre-pubescent Tate from the inmates of the Pit, beginning their relationship), and a storyline that a lesser film-maker than Christopher Nolan would have had difficulty adding to an already packed film. In Nolan’s hands, it works perfectly.

If only poor Bane had grown up on the right side of the tracks, it wouldn’t be difficult to see him as a hero equal with Batman. It’s the same devotion that Bane shows to Miranda Tate/Talia al Ghul as that which Batman shows to the city of Gotham, and it is ultimately his undoing.

Nolan closes his trilogy with one more memorable work. The film adopts a narrative to the molds of the hero's journey to trace Batman back in the midst of a dystopian Gotham that was once again a reminder of crime.

This time, the Knight of the Night enlists the help of the charismatic and enveloping cat woman - who even appears as the center of the narrative in the film episode - to face the well-arched villain Bane, in addition to unpredictable forces to save Gotham from a hostile revolution.

The direction is impeccable and features everything that Nolan has already consecrated: electrifying action scenes with memorable photography and scenery. And, of course, all this together in a script full of twists and turns, points of tension and that requires decision-making of the characters in the face of issues of morality, ethics and honor in the midst of a boiling popular uprising driven by hatred.

At the end of the film, after a great plot twist that put Bruce's trusted people to face him, we see the consecration of the long with the exciting final dinner with the dramatic overcoming of the bat man in the face of all adverse circumstances.

Batman resurfaced, overcame and saved all of Gotham, just as Nolan bet, placated and touched us with his wonderful adaptation

It blow my mind it was my favourite movie of all time back then. I rewatched it several times when it was released on DVD. It's a significant film in my journey through cinema. I rewatching it now that I'm older. The nostalgia comes running back to me. The opening scene brings back memories.

The plot takes place 8 years after The Dark Knight. It explores the long term aftermath of the events from that movie. Bruce Wayne has been living in self imposed exile for almost a decade. Batman took the blame for Harvey Dent's crimes and death. Gotham used Harvey Dent's death to pass an act. That gives law enforcement and the legal system. More power to fight organised crime. Christopher Nolan does a brilliant job at expanding the ending of the Dark Knight. The plot also connects back to Batman Begins. Bane's plan is to for fill Ra's Al Ghul's mission to destroy Gotham.

Bane was a great villain to choose after the Joker. Because the Joker is the opposite of Batman. He used mayhem to control Gotham. Bane on the other hand uses brute force. He was trained by the League of Shadows. The similarities between Bane and Batman. Make him Batman's greatest challenge in the entire trilogy. The first fight between Batman and Bane is perfect. It's set in the shadows at night. That's when Batman fights at his best. But Bane knows Batman's advantages and use them against them. Batman is out match and Bane wins. The 2nd act of the movie is amazing. Batman has been imprisoned in the Lazarus pit by Bane. He is trying to rebuild his strength to escape and save gotham. During this time Bane has taken control of Gotham and trapped them in the city. He is using a nuclear weapon to destory Gotham. He give tham a couple of months and filled them with false hope.

In the 3rd act of the movie. When Batman returns to Gotham to the save the city and defeat Bane. He fights Bane in broad daylight. Batman usually operates in the shadows at night time. But Bane used Batman advantages against him in the first fight. Since then he has changed his view on life. He had been reborn this final fight between him and Bane symbolises that prefectly. Hans Zimmer's score is phenomenal. It's my one my favourite movie scores of all time. The cinematography is a step up from The Dark Knight. There are some really good shots in this movie. All the performances are great. Tom Hardy is perfect as Christopher Nolan's reimagining of Bane. Anne Hathaway performance as Catwoman is impressive and underrated. Christian Bale is phenomenal as Batman for his last time. Michael Caine, Gary Oldman and Morgan Freeman are great as always. The rest of the cast did a good job as well.

The Dark Knight Rises is a perfect ending to The Dark Knight Trilogy. Thank you Christopher Nolan for give us. A 2h 40m Batman movie and a whole trilogy about Batman. You are a legend and one of the best directors of all time

Anybody who tries to top "The Dark Knight Rises" will have a lot to prove both artistically and financially. Christopher Nolan is to the "Batman" movies what James Cameron was to the "Terminator" movies. Stepping into Nolan's shoes will poseAnybody who tries to top "The Dark Knight Rises" will have a lot to prove both artistically and financially. Christopher Nolan is to the "Batman" movies what James Cameron was to the "Terminator" movies. Stepping into Nolan's shoes will pose a supreme challenge for whoever dares. Nolan approached the "Batman" franchise with reverence, played the plots as close to straight as possible, and shunned clever one-liners. "The Dark Knight Rises" surpasses both the "Batman Begins" origin movie and "The Dark Knight." "The Dark Knight Rises" takes the franchise to the brink of annihilation with what amounts to a Gotham City Armageddon. Batman contends with two worthy opponents that played a part in his origins. The most obvious villain is Bane. A hulking brute of a man, he looks like a cross between of a wrestler and equivalent of a human pit bulldog. Bane wears a contraption over his face that enables him to handle the pain of life. Basically, we never see British actor Tom Hardy's face because he conceals it with a mask. Interestingly, this imbues Bane with a mystery. Furthermore, Bane speaks through this contraption and he sounds quite avuncular. In other words, he doesn't sound as menacing as Darth Vader, but he doesn't mince words. Finally, former Disney princess Anne Hathaway makes a willowy Cat Woman. Just as the Marvel people had trouble getting Hulk right, the DC people have experienced similar trouble getting Catwoman right. Anne Hathaway makes the perfect Catwoman.

The sheer spectacle of "The Dark Knight Rises" dwarfs "The Dark Knight." Eight years has elapsed since the murder of Harvey Dent and the disappearance of the Caped Crusader. Guests at Wayne Manor make remarks about the tragic figure skulking about on the balcony in the distance. Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale of "Terminator Salvation") has turned into a contemporary Howard Hughes. He is amazed when he catches a burglar in his side of the mansion. Moreover, she is a delectable burglar. She has cracked Wayne's safe and stolen his mother's pearls. Since Gotham City is largely safe now, the authorities are not prepared when a gang assaults Wall Street and tries to plunge the economy in chaos. Batman makes a triumphant return in top form with a new gadget that resembles a mini-helicopter. Initially, Batman has no trouble licking his adversaries. Against the Catwoman, he seems vulnerable. She likes to let him down. When he confronts Bane, Batman's gauntleted fists exert no more effect on him than they would on a bag of cement. Indeed, Commissioner Gordon (Gary Oldman of "The Fifth Element") is back on the case. He knows the truth about Harvey Dent, even if he doesn't know the identity of the Batman. If you missed either or both "Batman Begins" and "The Dark Knight," you may find yourself in an expositional purgatory. Nolan's "Batman" trilogy fits snugly together, aside from the change of casting between "Batman Begins" and "The Dark Knight" when Maggie Gyllenhaal replaced Katie Holmes as Rachel Dawes in the District Attorney's Office. "The Dark Knight Rises" packs the Caped Crusader into exile. Bane batters him into submission. Nolan takes not only Gotham City to the limit, but also he takes audiences to the limit with an actioneer that clocks in at 164 minutes. Nevertheless, "The Dark Knight Rises" qualifies as the best "Batman" movie ever

For the most part, superhero comics are the nadir of male power fantasies, both superhero and supervillain alike. Us male fans read these comics and sometimes wish we could be these characters? I’ve wanted to be Batman, Spider-Man, Magneto, Ra’s al Ghul, Norman Osborn, and others at various times in my life. Bane, on the surface, represents this beautifully. He’s incredibly big, he’s incredibly strong, he has a commanding presence. He is always the toughest man in the room, and he’s tearing down the pillars of society around him. For many an outcast nerd, this is the ultimate power fantasy.

When Miranda Tate reveals herself as Talia, our perception of Bane changes. We find out that everything he did, he did out of loyalty and devotion to this girl he’s been protecting and loving since the day she was born. Like her, he was born in the Pit. Born in Hell. He protected her so she could escape and was scarred for it, and her father, Ra’s al Ghul later rescued him from the Pit only to excommunicate this monster for embodying too many painful memories and loving Talia. His whole life centered on and around this woman. He tears up and cries as she tells this story. And when that happened, the male power fantasy crashed for many audience members, because many of them have probably cried too when being beaten up by bullies or picked on and are ashamed of it.

Bane wasn’t robbed of a damn thing. He broke the Bat, while Talia broke Bruce Wayne. Nothing changed except we learned about what motivated him. I’ve seen more than several people say the crying robbed him of the inhumane coldness that the Joker had. Well, here’s the thing, Bane is not the Joker. He is his own character. Every villain in this series had their own distinct personalities, and traits. This is a good thing. The revelation of Bane made him a much more three dimensional character. Yes, he was driven by hate of society, but he was also driven by love for this girl. In a sense, he was both her Alfred and her Batman rolled into one. It fit the themes of the movie perfectly. Alfred watches over Bruce Wayne. Gordon watches over John Blake who watches over the orphans. Batman, no matter who wears the cowl, watches over Gotham. And while I’m at it, Talia loses both of her parents violently and decides to finish her father’s work to purify the world by destroying Gotham just as Bruce tries to finish his father’s work to save Gotham and both are watched over by their own protectors.

Then he got killed by Catwoman, on one of the Bat-cycles who fired a cannon at him killing, when he tried to finally murder Batman. And the same people who were angry about him working for Talia got angry at this also. I’ve actually seen a few people talk about how ridiculous they thought it was that Bane fell at the hands of a woman, and that it robbed him of his power. I of course call poppycock on this, the way I saw it, it took heavy artillery to stop him because he was such a physically powerful foe. Selina’s gender had nothing to do with this.

This is the 21st century guys. Catwoman is an awesome character. Talia al Ghul is an awesome character. Black Widow is an awesome character (yes, I’ve seen similar complaints there). Get out of your parents’ basement, open your eyes and see that women can be and are just as strong as men, and even the strongest woman can be stronger than the strongest of men. Yes, Talia was Bane’s superior, but that didn’t cheapen or diminish Bane at all, he still did everything he did even if Talia “was the League of Shadows” and not him. Comic books can be and should be female power fantasies too

Despite theChristopher Nolan's stunning conclusion to his Batman trilogy is a welcome return to form after the slightly overrated THE DARK KNIGHT, which was so obsessed with being all dark and brooding that it forgot to tell much of a story. Despite the presence of a much-hyped (and lamented) Heath Ledger in the cast, I found that film to be less entertaining than BATMAN BEGINS although it still remains an engaging and watchable film. THE DARK KNIGHT RISES though, blows it out of the water, offering a piece of sheer spectacle that's as involving and as tightly-plotted as you could wish for.

It's eight years since the last film, and Christian Bale's Bruce Wayne is nowadays retired and definitely feeling his age. Before long, though, a hulking brute of a bad guy (Tom Hardy, whose sheer physicality in the role will surprise nobody who's seen Bronson) decides to do some very unpleasant things in the city, so it's time to dust off the bat suit and get back into the action. Good news for the viewer.

As usual, Nolan surpasses the conventions of his genre, making this a superhero film that looks nothing like a superhero film, instead more like a modern-day epic of dramatic cinema. Yes, at the end of the day it's still about suited guys beating the hell out of each other, and Nolan once again relies on old conventions/clichés (such as the 'ticking bomb' trope, which he's repeated in his last three films now) to see him through, but everyone runs so well and so smoothly that you end up not minding.

The cast is thorough and involved as ever, Bale as usual going the extra mile to portray the tortured hero and Caine lending emotional support as Alfred. Hardy's villain is a sheer powerhouse who dominates every scene he's in, and Nolan brings back a couple of his favourites from INCEPTION (Marion Cotillard and Joseph Gordon-Levitt) for good measure. There's not quite as much action as you might expect from a film of this type, but the storyline is so involved that you don't care. Throw plenty of stunning special effects into the mix and you have a real crowd-pleaser of a film with real brain as well as brawn

It is subtle, it is nuanced, it is a real film, not just an action-flick. It’s for adults, not teenagers with a fetish for cool cars. It is a human story, not just spectacle, and even the spectacle is beautiful. It is clever, tight and stylish, driven by a typical Nolan-style plot – tightly wound and rapidly unfurling, twisting and unpredictable to the end – and character, never letting you down, never sentimental without good cause, never preachy but constantly championing the fundamental ideas of what it means to be good and that ‘good’ doesn’t mean you are flawless.

There are so many unsung heroes of this trilogy: Nolan’s long-time collaborating cinematographer Wally Pfister, Nolan’s brother and writer on the Dark Knight and the Dark Knight Rises, Jonathan Nolan. But I have always felt that the unsung hero of these creations is Nolan himself. It’s like we’ve been reeling with shock at how incredible it’s all been, we forgot to slap the Director on the back. Nolan constructed infallible plots, drew the absolute best out of all his actors, and he created a story, a place and people that were ultimately contributing to a superbly complex and devastating vision of Gotham that he shared with us: a Gotham that was very uncannily like our own world; on the verge of apocalypse, disaster, destruction, lines between good and bad blurred, where heroes fall from grace and outlaws save the day.

Thank you, Christopher Nolan.

I say that in the sense in which politics often becomes a false idol. It often canPolitics are utterly retarded. I don’t mean that in the sense that our current political system is whack or that I don’t like our aviator-adoring president. I say that in the sense in which politics often becomes a false idol. It often can feel more real to us than the spiritual realm, and so we often engage with it with much more vigor and ferocity than we would ever dedicate towards prayer. But they both deal in a similar currency - with truths and ideas that transcend physical qualities. It is a crafty false idol, since it deals with things that seem so utterly important and transcendent. Of course, there is a deep hollowness at their core. Hence, the retardation.

Last year was a time of great retardation. I found myself obsessed with politics. I was “just checking the news” and being an “informed citizen” but within me I allowed an oily snake of resentment and moral superiority to grow. In that more foolish and isolated time, I prided myself in my ability to speak through things rationally and have good conversations about “things that matter.” Why couldn’t people see that I was right?

This film is a treasure of mine. It is so rich with ideas and nakedly spiritual and political ideas. I found myself drawn to the false world preached by Bane: one that often would echo the discontentment of 2020. A place ruled by “true justice” and one that eschewed “myths of opportunity.” I gleefully quoted Bane’s speech as a way of revealing the evils of socialism. It seemed like Christopher Nolan was speaking to our time. I allowed that the corruption of Gotham required a reckoning of some sort, but confidently decided that clearly this was not the right answer. The vicious snake of politics rattled with glee, turning this rich artistic work into an ideological bludgeon to use against my numerous foes.

When I watch this movie now, I see the spiritual realm. The political issues are simply lame puppets that the forces of good and evil push around the chess board. Bane’s demented revolution was a taunt to Gotham’s champion: a way of showing that all his work to instill Gotham with a sense of morality and justice was for nothing. His socialistic promises were nothing more than a lame cover for a raw power grab. Bane promised, at his speech at Blackgate Prison, that “Gotham would endure,” but we see a shot of the decaying fusion bomb telling us the truth. The destiny of Ra’s al Ghul and the League of Shadows is to destroy Gotham. Not rebuild it, not reform it, not make it better - but to annihilate it. Pure evil.

The lie of Harvey Dent, the deal with the devil that Gordon and Batman made, was not the source of the evil that plagued Gotham. In Nolan’s telling, evil is an ever present force in the city. When Bane and Talia are defeated and Bruce enjoys his wonderful holiday pranking Alfred, he leaves behind instructions for a new Batman and gives Gordon a new beacon. Evil will return in some new form. You can see that in Gordon’s face at the Batman statue. The Batman must come back. He must remain. We will always be tempted by darkness. By evil. We need a savior.

The naked spirituality of this movie is crystalized by Bane’s torment of Batman in the Pit. They are battling for the very soul of Gotham. Where the Joker spoke of Gotham’s soul in a present moral sense, Bane wants to utterly destroy the spiritual. Bane and Talia are the ultimate accusers of our world - they look at our corrupt capitalism, our broken economy, and deliver their justified verdict: Death. I will refrain from making the obvious Christian allusion here, but it seems like Batman took that on himself in this film to some degree.

One last point on the political commentary. The institutions of government, economy, and authority are all gifts from God that must be received with Thanksgiving. There is corruption in Gotham that subverts that, and there is clearly deep moral failure in the system that Bane “proposes.” But we must seek justice, we must seek the good to the extent we are able. Truth must be pursued, lies must be destroyed.

This is an awesome film

For all the reasons in this post I believe Bane to be an amazing movie villain. The twist in the end pushes this to its height because we finally see a humane, compassionate side to Bane. This revealed compassion is both an indication of his tremendous strength as well as yet another example of a major theme throughout the trilogy- that of True Identity and the Capacity to Change

Some believe on heresay that he didn't care due to Heath Ledger'sContrary to what certain people will want to believe, Nolan himself has stated over the years that he's proud of what he's accomplished with TDKR and the series as a whole. Some believe on heresay that he didn't care due to Heath Ledger's death, which is highly doubtable. There were always plans for a potential third movie after The Dark Knight. Christopher Nolan and Jonathan Nolan figured out the story while he was making Inception, which is reasonable since WB gave him creative space, not just tying him down to one franchise. Given the freedom that Nolan and his co-writers (Jonathan and David S. Goyer) received after Batman Begins, it's completely understandable that he returned to complete the story of Batman and Gotham. It was a definitive conclusion, rare in Hollywood franchises nowadays despite the legend of Batman often being never-ending in the comics. Simply phoning it in probably would've resulted in a film less than what we got. The story of TDKR was inspired by some of the most acclaimed Batman graphic novels, and notably the classic novel A Tale of Two Cities. If he really wanted to phone this film in, would he have given us the sheer scope of the action sequences in the film; including one as grand as the opening plane crash sequence? There's been no confirmation of studio interference either. He's even stated that the opening scene of TDKR was a favorite scene of his that he's filmed (Christopher Nolan’s Favorite Sequence From His Movies Is The Airplane Kidnapping Scene From ‘The Dark Knight Rises’). Given the grand scope of the film, the ambition to build upon the first two movies and to give a definitive conclusion to Bruce Wayne's story- it's as much of a passion project as it gets Expand

Once again, just when I thought the movie was threatened, it exceeded all of my expectations once again, in terms of action, entertainment, edition, sound, score, visuals, direction and action, everything is top notch!
The film brings some of the names that already kept this story at a good level but it also brings some new that also fitted perfectly in it. Christian Bale, doesn’t let’s to be the great Batman he was before. Michael Cain is fantastic as always and he gives a powerful an emotional performance. Tom Hardy was one of the addictions and he does Bane utterly terrifying and ominous. Anne Hathaway as Catwoman/Selina Kyle is a massive character, a scene stealer and a great addiction too, which ends up fitting amazingly and responding to a lot of fans that were asking for her since the first movie of Nolan’s trilogy.
Everyone is really amazing, the dynamic scenes between the actors are greatly done, well written, and well directed.
At a running time of almost 3 hours, the film never becomes boring, which is pretty impressive. “The Dark Knight” is both emotionally and amazing! The movie's action sequences were spectacularly well created and purely intense. The dialogue between the character's are intelligent, highly believable and they correspond very well to the saga. Its soundtrack is terrific and it transmits the vibe some of the scenes transmits to us. It was very well edited the sound use helped to develop some of the movie's action scenes, without making only an empty movie with explosions and visuals.
In conclusion, the film is a gorgeous reminder! With a great writing and direction it enhance any movie, even one about a superhero - usually seen as mindless entertainment. I’ve always loved Christopher Nolan's approach to Batman and it’s really admirable how he was always worried to make the character being consensual to the plot, he always added some layers or background episodes to make this story even more epic! It is one of the best works I’ve seen

sends chills down your spine but you can't help but love him at the same time. Bane as a character is calculated, like Joker Bane is a real threat to the city, maybe even more so of a threat. You never know what he's thinking, he's unpredictable and is ruthless when he's allowed to go full out. The character growth for everyone moves smoothly to this film all the way back to the first. Everyone feels familiar and "reset" as some trilogies do. Even the new characters feel familiar. Especially Anne Hathaway's Cat Woman
and Tom Hardy's Bane Hans Zimmer does another amazing job with the score. It's swelling and menacing, just what this movie, calls for. This movie, whole trilogy in fact, is so good that
I'm so surprised I haven't seen them before. Anyways that's all for now, cya next time

Also speaking about action and emotion, Batman’s first appearance in the film is simply poetic, giving you goose bumps thanks to superb soundtrack by music genius Hans Zimmer, who’s back on Nolan’s team to work his magic and creating an iconic score for every Bane scene.

The Dark Knight Rises lasts for almost 3 hours and for the first time in many years, it feels like the length was perfect to close Nolan’s trilogy. The first forty five minutes has a lot of information to digest in order to take you on an emotional journey packed with action which makes this film an instant hit. It is a total masterpiece to us, possibly the best film of the year (so far), even making the impossible possible by defeating The Avengers in a very close competition (even though we don’t like to compare different superhero films)

The Dark Knight Rises is a must watch, especially if you have the chance see it in Imax as it’s a spectacular cinematic monster, worth every cent to see it again and again and again

I think Tom Hardy played Bane perfectly, and was an amazing villain for this trilogy! Bane as a character is a very brutal villain, and Tom Hardy showed that! Tom Hardy’s Bane is definitely one of the best movie villains we’ve had recently!

As for Bruce Wayne in this movie, he has to reborn as Batman, and Christian Bale did that very well. I’ve always thought it was really cool to see a hero being reborn, and this is probably my favorite example of that! The whole plot to this movie was thought through the amazing mind of Christopher Nolan, (Yes, I am fanboying.) Nolan really thought of amazing things for this movie. The story was fantastically written, and so was the entire trilogy! I don’t have any negatives for this movie. The two hour and forty minute length was needed, and I don’t think there was anything that should have been trimmed out. For my final thoughts, this is my second favorite out of the Dark Knight trilogy, and one of my favorite superhero movies

The Dark Knight Rises is everything I thought The Dark Knight was going to be. This movie was most perfect way to end this trilogy, as it mixed Begins and Dark Knight into one masterpiece.

Though the suicide of Ledger was, and still is heartbreaking, Nolan continues his great legacy of this franchise by recreating his character into a much more realistic one. Bane is a perfect character. He is realistic, he is brut tough, and unlike the Joker, he rigged the city realistically, placing his dirty fingers all over the town. His plans fit perfectly into the plot, his background was explained tremendously well, and his execution of his plan, until falling to Catwoman, was phenomenal and well thought out. Before watching this film, I stated the casting of Ledger was a luck of the draw by the movie crew, yet Nolan kicked me right in the teeth and redid his character built off unreal dialogue, proving me absolutely wrong.

This is the best batman we've ever gotten, and even though he stupidity threw himself at Bane to set up the most significant aspect of the movie (Bane knocking down Batman for weeks and taking over the city), it's just how it had to happen, and I'll happily excuse it. Bruce rose up with brut force, escaped the prison, and with the upmost passion defeated Bane (with the help of catwoman), and unselfishly almost killed in the effort of saving his city he was told over and over not to. The plot regarding Bruce this movie was a great refresher from the horrible 'The Dark Knight' plot, and it brought us back to Begins, which in underrated fashion stablized this all-time great trilogy.

Catwoman was everything Batman ever needed, and her character developmental over this movie was something we've never seen before from a writing aspect. Her presence uplifted this movie, and her boss girl ending was an amazing ending to her character, and the movie. Outside of being hot as **** Catwoman was truly a phenomenal character.

I understand why people hate on this movie more than they should, and it's because there's more dialogue in it than Dark Knight. On top of that, the Joker isn't in this movie. These two predicaments combined created a very large uphill battle for the crew of this movie to climb, yet they did, and they had the perfect mix of dialogue and action, along with recreating the Joker perfectly, into a more realistic character. I truly do love Ledger, and I do miss The Joker, yet this was all you could ask for outside of him.

What's stopping this movie from being a 5/5 is the normal plot inconsistencies of any superhero/action movie, and unfortunately I have to stay to my ranking system. There is nothing truly bad about this movie (besides maybe Bane turning off the sun), and nothing could've made it better than it was overall. This movie is everything the consensus believes The Dark Knight is, yet the Dark Knight is just a high budget action movie filled with ****ty writing, while The Dark Knight Rises is the perfect blend of high budget action movie, and a low budget writing masterpiece.

Another movie to the trilogy, another extremely badass, villain of the century introduced. Bane is intimidating, ruthless, badass, a myth; everything a great villain should be: pure evil. We immediately are hooked to the story that continues unraveling through the next parts of the movie. We get to see yet another deep and dark interpretation of Bruce Wayne/The Batman. Once again, Christopher Nolan flawlessly executes the complexity of the character and gives us so much more than just that. We see Wayne using his fears, his pain, his suffering to overcome those very things and rise above. We see our beloved Alfred giving his all to what can only be described as his father-son relationship with Bruce. We see new characters appear for the first time, such as the talented burglar, Catwoman, who also gets a very deep character and personality behind the mask. We get to see a mere cop, who gives his city his all, and risks his very life for the great good, representing a symbol of pure goodness. Not a single moment throughout this movie that makes you feel bored or not entertained. It’s filled with amazing CGI; next level story-telling; suspense to keep you at your toes; character development that makes you connect to them in a way you never have before. You can literally feel the pain Bruce is going through, you can literally feel his journey to overcoming it. With deep connections and conclusions to the other two movies, The Dark Knight Rises concludes the perfect trilogy in the most perfect way imaginable, with a deep and emotional ending that had me in tears Expand

The Batman is on everyone's lips, ensuring his place in American pop culture for generations to come. A few respectable commentators and a legion of hack writers have been swept up in Batmania, publishing their thoughts on the last film's political implications. Is The Dark Knight Rises a tool of the right-wing propaganda machine to quash the Occupy movement? Is Bane a stand-in for Bain Capital and Mitt Romney? Why even bother asking these questions about another dumb superhero flick? Those issues have assuredly been talked to death on countless Yahoo! comment boxes and juvenile flame wars by now. I'm more interested in examining what the character of Batman means as a cultural icon. Who is this man whose likeness or logo appears on every other kid's t-shirt or bedsheets, or on billboards and bus stop posters across America? The thought that prevailed in my mind above all others as I left the theater that opening night was this: that Batman is not quite an American icon at all Expand

The Dark Knight Rises concludes the Nolan trilogy as we watch the sun set on Bruce Wayne’s new life.

The (still alive) cast returns and their standards don’t slip for the final curve of The Dark Knight’s arc. Once again Gotham’s new faces steal the show, though not to discredit the usual cast for what they have given throughout the series. Tom Hardy as Bane is certainly the most physically frightening and menacing villain Batman has faced so far, featuring a notably chilling voice. Anne Hathaway gives us a sexy, cunning performance as Catwoman who has especially great chemistry with Bale and shines when given the screen. A great conclusion to the trilogy with a satisfying, emotional ending.
