Poll of the Day > The more time I watch Dark Knight Rises, the more I like it.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I heavily disliked it the first time I saw it, but every time since its slowly grown on me. They clearly decided to stop giving a fuck and just went for 100% action, and thats actually not so bad. Its actually a pretty fun watch when you just get drunk and dont give a fuck. And Anne Hathaway actually steals the movie, shes one of the best performances in the whole film

I like how the movie title isnt even about Bruce Wayne and is in fact a reference to Robin becoming The Batman, with the movie even going so far as to literally have him rise out of the view of the audience at the end of the movie.

Might want to spoiler tag that face heel turn, right there. Just saying theres no spoilers mark in the thread title.

Its the worst of the trilogy, but it isnt a bad movie. It just followed some of the best superhero movies ever made.

Bane has some great 1-2 minute scenes. I enjoy just watching a few of those on YouTube from time to time rather than watching the entire movie.

Woops, completely unintentional. Guess I can't edit it after an hour, deletion it is.

Also shouldn't you spoil tag face heel turn? Wait, since we're talking about the identity needing spoilers, doesn't that kind of spoil it too?

Meh. I figured tagging the characters name was enough. You wouldnt know who we were talking about unless you read the spoiler.

Theres something about that movie that just doesnt do it for me. And Im not typically a movie snob either and generally like most things.

I dont even know why I dont like this one that much. Its a shame too because Batman Begins and The Dark Knight are both top-tier movies.

I dont think this is correct

At a very basic level the plot of the film is inspired by the Knightfall arc in the comics where Bane literally breaks batman, and the following plot of the comics and the film is Batman regaining strength and rising up to the challenge he failed against previously. They even have him literally ride up out of the prison he is trapped in.

Agreed. To add to the point, the Dark Knight ended with Batman being chased into exile, and the Dark Knight Rises begins with Batman having disappeared for the last 8 years.

So the title can both refer to both his rise after his fall from glory over the last 8 years, as well as his rise after facing defeat at the hands of Bane. Theres a lot of redemption throughout the story for Batman.

I don't think I'll ever bring myself to watch it again. I didn't like it much when I first saw it, and my opinion has only soured even further over time.

---

I like it but it has its flaws.
---

I recall being hyped for the movie not because i care about batman but because it was filmed in th city i live outside of.

Wasn't a great movie imo. Haven't seen it since the first time.

It was enjoyable.
---

It was decent, the cops running towards the terrorists was pretty cool, lame way for Bane to go tho.

Actually, youre both wrong. This is a cinematic universe and one thats restricted only to the three movies it consists of. You cant use outside sources to interpret themes of the universe even if those sources are another parallel universe of a sort.

The running theme obviously portrayed in this movie trilogy is that anyone could be The Batman. It doesnt matter who I am underneath is pretty literally spelled out multiple times. Although it is initially used by Rachel Dawes to refer to Bruce Wayne she is not using it to mean him specifically, but rather to mean that it could apply to anyone, a fact that he translates into The Batman when he repeats it.

Youre right that I slightly am incorrect in saying that the title refers to Robin becoming The Batman because it is actually referring to the mantle of The Batman becoming the savior of Gotham City and not to Bruce Wayne, Robin, or anyone in particular being underneath the mask. It just happened to be Robin becoming The Batman shown at the very end when the people of Gotham finally accepted The Batman as their hope and savior. In reality it couldve been anyone at all.

I like to think that in this universe 10 years down the line Robin passes off the mantle of The Batman to someone else worthy, maybe Barbara Gordon, and then it eventually gets passed off to someone else, and so on, and so on, and so on... It literally doesnt matter who is The Batman, just that someone is.
