[QUOTE="Azgulor, post: 5974246, member: 14291"] Great movie! Finally an accurate portrayal of Bane as a character. A spectacular finale to a trilogy that understood that the best Batman stories aren't about focusing on Batman exclusively, but that it's the characters and their inter-personal dynamics with each other that are an equal share of Batman's mythos & appeal. I also give extensive props to the number of instances of Batman-lore from the comics that are given homage in one form or another throughout the film. And while I had my reservations about Hatthaway as Catwoman, the lady nailed it. THAT'S the best Selina Kyle I've seen outside of the comics (& Arkham City), period. As the OP, said, this was a comic-book movie, and as such it was the best comic-book movie (or movie period) I've seen this year. Avengers, however, was the best superhero movie I saw this year. A quibble, I know. It was an epic finish to the trilogy. It wasn't better than the Dark Knight, but then I don't think it could have been -- it had a different role to play. Batman Begins began Bruce's story, DK Rises brings the epic conclusion. The Dark Knight, however, was classic Batman in all its glory against his archnemesis. As I told my son, who was grappling with the "which one was best?" question, in The Dark Knight Rises, you knew Bane was coming -- you knew Bruce was going to have to come back and take him down. In contrast, with the Dark Knight, while you knew Batman would win, everything else was largely up for grabs if for no other reason than trying to piece together the chaotic insanity of the Joker. Great movie. Fantastic series. [/QUOTE]
