The Dark Knight Rises is the third and much anticipated and final Batman film. The trilogy directed by Christopher Nolan, The follow up to Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. In a summer filled with super heroes this is not only Nola’s signature fin but DC’s comic’s response to an up to now Marvel filled summer. Though no film could have been par to its, The Dark Knight certainly did not fail to meet the hype. The Dark Knight Rises like its flawed protagonist was never expected to be meet demands of audiences set by its predecessor.
The storyline is set eight years post Bruce Wayne’s (Christian Bale) self sacrificing induced retirement, and now a broken man haunted by the ghosts of yesterday.Christian embraces once again his conflicted hero role, appearing aged, withered physically and mentally. A familiar tone sets in as an opportunity “rises” Gotham falls in crisis. The city grasped by the clutches of a new protagonist, Bane and his band of anti-heroes. Bane (Tom Hardy), not the masterful psychological and unforgettable performance left to us by (Heath Ledger) but a most formidable adversary with screen presence and sheer brute strength.
The film mixes it up with new main characters played by an impressive star studded cast. Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle [essential Catwoman though never directly] and continually rising Joseph Gordon-Levitt as rookie policeman John Blake. Both actors bring something new to the table. Hathaway attributes feline qualities she is sassy, bold and feline like but yet expresses a vulnerability of emotional instability that adds substance. The rest of the returning cast (Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman,) do not fail to deliver,
At 2 hours 44 seconds, the film manages to keep the general public engaged with magnificent aerial views and a beautiful representation of the fictional city. A flurry of bat mobiles, action packed scenes and glamorous shots. There is a sense of citizenship of the city and empathy for flawed characters through and through. As for the fanatics there are hinted surprises and enough tangles to keep them gasping and pondering for more. Nolan leaves with his representation of Batman’s trilogy that has absolutely become cultural phenomenon and embedded in audience’s
