Loosely inspired by storylines such as "KnightFall", "Dark Knight Returns", "Cataclysm", "Legacy" and "No Man's Land", the conclusion of Nolan's film trilogy pits a retired Bruce Wayne against a new breed of terrorist, who threatens to shatter the very fabric of Gotham City and bring the world to it's knees. Allied with a rookie cop and the sly Catwoman, Batman must break free of the shackles of his past and give his all to stop Bane, a beefed up criminal mastermind with sinister connections to old enemies, and someone close to Bruce Wayne himself.

But when you leave the movie theatre clutching a mostly-empty bag of popcorn and a waxed paper cup, you should have a huge smile. Because it’s a goddamn feat of cinematic achievement. Sure, it strays from the Bane story, twists things and changes details, but it’s evident that all of these changes were made with the...

Hard to Articulate 0

The Dark Knight Rises by adrianopivy on July 20, 2012

A few hours after seeing this movie, it's still difficult to come to a comprehensive verdict. I know it was amazing, but to articulate all the ways it was would lead to an excessively long review. I'll keep it spoiler free and try to summarise as best as possible.I'll start with the cast.
