The Dark Knight Rises

Yeah, but he got that gig for being the guy that wrote the Batman movies.

Also, I assume he keeps getting work because he's willing to be paid in gum.

This entire movie was just one big setup for Nolan to make the most underhanded "Somedays you just can't get rid of a bomb" joke ever.

i don't know what kind of crack you people are on, but i just watched it and i loved it.

It's not so much a self-contained trilogy as it is a Self-Contained Universe. Nolan created his own Batman Mythology and i had fun with it from beginning to end...

And this is the first Batman movie where they kinda made me give a shit about Batman, which is a really big deal for me, even thought not that much... Bane was awesome. Way above anything i was expecting, The twists were good for me, the passing of the torch felt pitch perfect for the narrative they were telling.

And "Do you feel in charge?" is one of the most Crowning moments of awesome I've seen in the last few years.

All the bad guys were presented as sniveling cowards with no redeeming qualities, out of control of their own designs which ended up overwhelming them, and they all end up dead by the end, killed by either Bane or Ichabod.

Overall, I liked it.

Bane's voice was silly. Even disregarding that Bane is typically Hispanic (or thereabouts) the voice just didn't work, especially with the mask muffling it. I had to stop myself from bursting into giggles when he said "I wondered what would break first; Your spirit, or YER BODY!"

Regarding the scene about Blake being all "Oh your hands are plenty filthy, Gordon!" and being all disgusted: Is it just me or was this issue just not addressed or acknowledged to happen at all through the entire rest of the movie?

Other than that I liked it.

On a side note, why, in the Superman trailer, did Supes have two contrails coming out behind him when he flew up?

Apparently his feet are jet engines.

Everything that happens to Blake beyond that point is painting the world that shows Blake why Gordon think the way he thinks now. Up to that point he was overly idealistic, after that he gets much more grounded and realistic as he goes walking towards the "Batman ideals"... it's acknowledge via his arc in the story, but they don't rub it in your face.

Yes, but this is Nolan Superman and we have to make this shit REALISTIC. Otherwise nobody's going to be able to believe this story about Space Alien Jesus from Kansas who gets a wide array of superpowers from sunlight. Anything other than jet engine feet would be silly.

To build on what Bells said, remember the bit where Blake is trying to free the police men that are trapped underground and the military surround him and pull out guns on him. The bit where he puts up his hands and closes his eyes that you see in the trailer? Yeah, that's a visual representation of what Gordon had said to Blake before Blake got all self-righteous.

It's one of the few points where the film doesn't just use a speech to convey what's happening.
