@Billy Batson: I found the Dark Knight Rises to be a real disappointment. I thought it was good...better than Batman Begins, but nowhere near as good as the Dark Knight. I have a lot of reasons for this view, but here are a few:
1. If Talia wanted to blow up Gotham, she could have done it at any time. Drawing it out for five months to torture Bruce is convoluted at best. Seeing Gotham go up in flames would have been plenty torturous to Batman.
2. Batman quit in this movie...for eight years he sat at home and felt sorry for himself. Batman is Not a quitter.
3. No action scenes, except for the plane scene at the beginning, impressed me. Honestly, I can't think of a standout Batman action scene. Batman, Bane, and Catwoman all hit people at some point...(yawn)
The Dark Knight rises had no plot holes...except perhaps for the police pulling back from the Joker raid because of the hospital crisis. Still, that is understandable.
Batman was better represented in terms of his determination and detective skills.
The final fight with Joker and Two-Face are permanently ingrained in my mind. The beginning fight with Scarecrow was also great. Batman taking out the cops non lethally is one of the best action scenes of all time. Batman swooping in on the Asian money man was great. Way, way better.
