So I tried watching THE DARK KNIGHT RISES in 2024... 

It is super rare, none of the past films had this vibe. A vibe of "thanks, and so long", and you feel closure. Something the Comics and the DCEU has had trouble sorting out how to find a grounded delivery like this series

I can tell you what tho…. I was def molded by loosing a series with a 3-0 advantage.

In your mind. In reality…. No.

Sadly true, Tom Hardy, and Heath Ledger were friends for many years. What a better way to honor someone, than to deliver a phenomenal performance? The Joker was originally supposed to be in play. Along with other baddies banding together to take on the Bat. Gotham the TV series also spun a similar concept in its final season as well

Tenet was intentionally like that though….

@thedoncjg6263 even still though, it's still a complaint/critique people made despite it being the director's choice to do so.

On the contrary I’d argue this movie proved Nolan understood Bruce Wayne better than 90% of the comic industry has for the past 80 years.

@@barkley8285 Bruce was motivated to become batman because his parents died tragically. Rachel (who friendzoned him twice) dies and he becomes the billionaire simp and cries for 8 years. I'm sorry but that's awful writing. Rachel didn't even need to exist quite honestly. Also Alfred's character change comes out of nowhere. Nolan butchered Talias character. The only fair to good character in the whole movie was Bane and he ended up being a side villain for all intent and purposes. The robin wink and nod at the end was a cheap pop to steal from mick foley. Oh and also catwoman isnt robinhood so Nolan got her wrong too. Nolan understands batman to a point, then it goes off the rails in my opinon.

@@MJWP2334 have you even watched the movies? Not sure if this is even worth talking about because you displayed a clear lack of understanding for the movies. Bruce quits being batman because he takes the fall for harvey dent and becomes the 1# criminal, bruce then gets depressed and realizes he has no future without batman, he wants to fail and die as batman as he sees no other outcome/option. your entie comment is nothing but bitching about stupid shit that doesnt matter anyways. This isnt a 1-1 comic remake of batman, its an action/thriller using batmans mythos and asking the question "what would batman be like in the real world?" "does bruce wayne have a life beyond batman?" "what does it mean to be batman?" This movie is arguably the greatest batman story ever told, it take Bruce at his lowest and shows us that batman will never fall and always rise up against any threat to gotham, he inspires the entire city to do better as well as nurturingthe next batman. He finaally does what his parents wanted most out of him - to find happiness and a life beyond batman/gotham. Something the comics will never do because of capitalism and unending stories, and edginess. This movie is for adults who understand depth to movies and the meaning of "heroes" not the edgy teenager who needs dark broody batman.

@@barkley8285 Oh so because I don't like a movie and choose to express why I don't, that means I'm not an adult. If YOU like the movie, good for you. Batman Begins and The Dark Knight are 10/10 films. I like Nolan's other films for the most part (inception, interstellar and Oppenheimer). Besides what I put in my previous comment which basically was I just wasn't on board with Nolan's portrayal of certain characters, there are some serious story flaws and cheesy conveniences in the film, which is unusual for a director of Nolan's reputation. The cinematography, scope and music score was very well done in Rises and it looks fantastic on 4k disc. The script is looser than a vegas strett corner girl. The other two movies scripts were air tight with barely any flaws. I'll give Nolan this though, he found cute ways for batman to "kill" without receiving the Batfleck backlash. I give this movie a shot to change my mind every year with a rewatch and so far, no avail.

@@MJWP2334 no your opinion is wack because your criticisms are child level and don’t mean much. If you had an issue with the deeper plot or themes then fine, but “the robin cameo was cringe” doesn’t mean anything. This isn’t a comic accurate Batman, it’s a story about Bruce Wayne and an action thriller. The characters take inspiration from the pages, they aren’t grabbed straight from them. That was the whole point.
