#195. The Dark Knight Rises
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/83/Dark_knight_rises_poster.jpg
Dir: Christopher Nolan
Genre: Superhero
Year: 2013

Coincidentally, next on the list is another Nolan film that gets a bad rep! I've already stated that I am generally not a big fan of superhero movies, but The Dark Knight trilogy is an exception.

The Dark Knight Rises can be considered, in some ways, the best movie of the trilogy. The story is epic but not meandering. Tom Hardy turns what could have just been a lumbering monster into a well-established villain. They even manage to make me not hate Anne Hathaway as Catwoman!

I think what makes me adore this movie so much is one scene. The "rise" climax in which Batman has to climb his way out of the underground prison is just so perfectly paced that I might even rank it as one of the most iconic/best moments in movie history. I know a lot of people don't like this one as much as me, but I've yet to hear a compelling reason why. It's amazing.

FYI for those confused by my count earlier, there are now 2 superhero movies remaining on The List. What will they be?
