I needed to take a break from working so I decided to watch "Dark Knight Rises," which I hadn't seen before. ... I should've worked. Cei-U! I summon the two-and-a-half hours I'll never get back! Posts like this make me happy I never went past DKR. And that was only at the egging of my wife that it was good. But it defiantly sealed the deal to not go past it.

Batman doesn't like that talk...

Yeah, IMO Nolan & co. really lost the plot with "The Dark Knight Rises." The plot was a mess, and there were way too many forced story conveniences. While I do think Batman Begins was great and that DKR, if imperfect, and some superb acting and moments, I find that that trilogy/interpretation fares worse in hindsight.

Dark Knight Rises is great if you play "count the plot-hole" while you watch. You can get to half a dozen or so in the first ten minutes.

I thought the best part of the whole series wasn't even in the movies. Around the time of TDK there was a fan made/altered video that had the Batman/Joker interrogation scene, with Batman doing his increasingly unintelligible growl and Joker going "What? I really can't understand you".

I thought Dark Knight Rises was the perfect summer blockbuster-the plot was terrible/non-existent, you couldn't understand a thing Bale said as Batman or anything Bane said at all, so you could just ignore all the dialogue, meaning all you had to do was sit back and watch all the pretty explosions and action sequences-i.e. the perfect summer blockbuster. -M

I'm so frustrated when they cancelled shows like Agent Carter because it is so darn good and it's has lots of good stuff in that show; great costumes, good script, very retro, and most of all it's has everything you want in that show that's makes it great. It's a bummer when I hear things like this.

I liked it better than The Dark Knight.It trades it pretension for stupidity so it's more fun to watch and laugh at.

Imagine Adam West and Neil Hamilton reading Bale and Oldman's lines in any of these movies and you realize how campy "dark" Batman can sound at times. And the characters all take themselves so-o-o-o seriously.

I honestly didn't find it any stupider than most superhero movies, which are almost all based on a ridiculous premise. Accepting the genre's signature plot holes, silly logic and strange conception of how the real world functions, I mostly appreciated that TDKR felt like a story and not like an extended commercial for toys, comics or more movies to come. Its main character went through doubt, crisis, failure, growth, triumph and acceptance... with a conclusion that really suggested this tale was done and over with. While Batman fans might say "what, is that all there is to Batman's career? Beat up a few thugs, stop the Joker, disappear for ten years and show up one final time to stop Bane?" I think that for a movie trilogy, such a short career framed by the actions of the league of shadows (responsible for creating this Batman in the first place) is quite suitable. Opinions may vary, of course.
