Sorry but someone’s got to say it– The Dark Knight Rises was kind of disappointing!
Batman only put on the suit about 3 times total. The ‘World’s Greatest Detective’ got sidelined while characters we just met figure out what’s going on and determine Gotham’s fate for the majority of the film. Joseph Gordon Levitt was particularly useless. And… ‘Robin’? If you’re going to go that route his name is either Dick, Jason or Tim, thank you very much. Frankly, the film would probably have been a lot cleaner without him, and probably without Marion Cotillard as well.
We have more gripes about the movie…glaring plot holes (how did Batman get back to Gotham so fast after escaping the pit?), unclear character development (Catwoman screws over Batman very seriously not once but twice yet their reconciliation is dismissed out of hand), and anticlimactic conclusions (Bane’s demise was not the least bit cathartic– though in this case perhaps that was the point). But we’ve hashed and rehashed them all so much with each other already and it’s late right now so I’m going to leave it at that. If you’re interested in telling us why we’re haters leave a comment and we can duke it out together tomorrow.

I haven’t seen any of them…and was thinking of just seeing the last one…hmmm
If you’re going to watch just one, I very HIGHLY RECOMMEND the second one with Heath Ledger as The Joker.
You can, in fact, just pretend (Like I now do) that that’s the only one they made, and completely ignore the other two!
Seriously; #3 is more of a sequel to #1 than #2 ever was.
you should put *spoiler alert* in front of posts like this for people who havent seen the movies yet
You’re totally right. We’ll start doing that from now on. Apologies…
We sort of forgot that anyone might actually read this haha
The reason Bruce gets from the pit to Gotham ‘instantly’ is due to the poor way the movie portrayed the time frame. It was about a month between him making the climb and appearing in Gotham. The bomb had a five month limit, or and it shows him attempting the first climb with day 83 on the cell’s tv screen.
Oh man, oh man, OH MAN!! Can’t tell you how much both me and my husband agree with this!!!11
It was just…and then nothing…and then even MORE nothing..!!!
I’ve started referring to this as “The Dark Knight Sees A Chiropractor”. Seems more accurate.
