The Dark Knight Rises - The Climb [HD] 

It's kind of hilarious that Bruce has an Alfred even in prison.

Training is nothing. The will is everything Ra’s Al Ghul

This interpretation of the Lazarus pit is probably my favorite. No giant pond of green ooze that turns corpses into zombies, but a literal pit in some forsaken part of the world in which Batman is metaphorically reborn. Bruce may have put on the cape and cowl to fight Bane once before already, but it isn't until this scene where Batman actually returns. Once again finding his greatest tool: fear.

This is one of the most powerful moments in any movie. I loved how Bruce threw the rope down for the rest of them at the end. He believed they deserved another chance in life and he allowed them to rise!

I love how his attitude in the prison was never “I’m Batman. You guys have no idea what you’re talking about.” He actually listened to them and took their knowledge to heart.

The rope is actually the representation of our comfort zone. If we cling on to our comfort zone we could only get so for but if you want to make the ultimate climb then you will have to climb without the rope, without your comfort zone and risk your life or failure.

Avengers Endgame was great but this trilogy was masterpiece...thanks Nolan

It's 2022, 10 years after the movie released. Still this scene will give you goosebumps! Thanks Nolan & Bale

This movie made me feel like Batman actually exists & lives somewhere

MCU makes us laugh, TDK trilogy makes us take life seriously.

‘Training is nothing, The will is everything’ - Ra’s Al Ghul

The shot where bats suddenly jump out is insanely meaningful. Bats always symbolised Bruce's fear. This shot is fear finding Bruce once again, but as the old guy said, fear is the only thing that'll help him rise. Unlike the natural way, where bats fly into darkness, here they rise into the light, the top of the well, symbolising the "hope" that Bane mentioned earlier when talked about the well. This shot literally means fear flying Bruce out of the well.

It is impossible to surpass this trilogy.

Not many people understand this scene, but this, THIS was the moment Bruce Wayne stopped being Batman. The entire movie is about just that. Not just "rising" as of coming back, but rising from the pit of darkness in your life - MOVING ON. Bruce moves on from being Batman and makes way for his heir, another orphan who can't move on - Blake. And this is the moment when he moved on. This scene in the pit is a reflection of his first fall into the bat cave. His father saved him. Without him, without his parents, it's impossible for Bruce to not be afraid. It's impossible for him to continue living without their help, their support. He could never leave any "cave" in his life, without them. But he did it. He made the climb without the rope. Without his father, his parents to rescue him. He allowed fear for his own life overwhelm him for the first time. For the first time he doesn't want to die. He can't, or his city will burn. And in doing so, he moved on. His life has meaning again, he is no longer an empty vessel. This is why he goes on to fight Bane in bright daylight. Batman of the night is gone. It's just Bruce Wayne in a Batman costume. After he saves his city, he never wears his costume again, he truly moves on, moves away with Selina, to have a normal life. He is not angry anymore.Batman died and Bruce Wayne was reborn in this very scene. Yes, I cry everytime.

This scene means so much to me. Back in High School I was a wrestler and had wrestled for pretty much all my life and going into my senior year I got into an accident that broke my femur and I was unable to walk and finish out my senior year and that was the year college teams were getting an interest in me. But all that went away by one freak accident. I thought I wasn’t going to walk again and was in a pretty rough spot mentally and was suffering from depression and felt that my life was falling apart. Right around the time this movie came out I went to see it with a friend of mine and after seeing Bruce go through a similar journey I did of being injured physically and mentally and overcoming it, it inspired me to never lose hope and to keep fighting. Believe it or not this scene helped me through a dark time in my life and after months of enduring physical therapy I was making significant progress of building back my muscle that I lost and not long after I was able to walk again. The doctors were so amazed at how well I recovered even though they told me that it would be unlikely that I could walk again. Even though I couldn’t wrestle my senior year I still learned a lot form my experience. I owe a lot to this movie and especially this scene. This scene is one of the big reasons why Batman is my favorite comic character because he is just man without any powers but yet his most amazing quality is his determination to push himself both physically and mentally. He inspires us to never give up and be the best version of ourselves. And no matter the setback or loss he endures he never gives up. He is a character that everyone can relate. To me he is more than just a comic book character but a symbol that can inspire us to be better than what we suffer. Sorry for the long rant but just wanted to express my love for this movie and this scene. Stay blessed everyone and never give up…

This scene summarized the whole message of the trilogy "To conquer fear you have to become fear itself"

I've watched this scene multiple times lately and it has done something my old therapist couldn't do, my family couldn't do or anyone in general couldn't do. It has inspired me to get my life back in order after years of depression. I started going to the gym for the first time in 10 years and I'm starting to gain that energy back I've lost since losing my mother. This trilogy really is motivational as heck and I'm thankful for it.

When he said, “without the rope,” I got massive chills at the cinema. It suddenly clicked for me like it did for him.

This is for me one of the greatest scenes in history of cinema

I always see people count The Dark Knight Rises as like the ugly duckling of the series but this scene right here, this scene might be the best scene out of all 3 movies. The entire scene is amazing. From seeing him fail and him realizing what he needs to do is so inspirational. The music by Hanz Zimmer is in my opinion one of his top 3 songs he’s ever made. And the slow buildup of the song and the scene as a whole are incredible. And when he finally makes that last leap of faith and makes it out of the pit, that is when the Batman was born again.

"Fear will find you again"- And bats fly at him when he aims for the jump. Perfection at its finest. It's amazing that a comic based trilogy ends up being an ideological masterpiece.

Everybody:Fish Fish Pasta Pasta fish fish pasta Pasta "What does it mean?" "Rice"

This is how it felt getting out of a depression

2:50 when he finally reaches the top without the rope was the most tense moment in the theater for me,, i seriously couldn’t tell the audience apart from the movie when they start cheering for bruce,, one of the best memories ever

"You do not fear death. You think this makes you strong, it makes you weak. How can you love faster than possible, fight longer than possible without the most powerful impluse of the spirit. The fear of death! " These words.💯

If you watched this scene in the cinema you know how truly epic and tense this scene is

This scene always gives me goosebumps. The music, the cheering, the way he jumps, when he “rises” from the pit. It’s all so well made

Some guys are telling that "As kids we loved Batman ,as adults we understand the Joker" But the truth is they were never adults, they are all teenagers When they become an Adult,when they face real hardships, they'll understand what is , who is and why is the Batman one of the greatest fictional characters ever made. Edit : No hate towards joker , cause i love him too .. and heath is just brilliant in TDK.

Batman threw the rope down because even criminals deserve a second chance.

"A hero can be anyone, even a man doing something as simple and reassuring as putting a coat on a young boy's shoulders to let him know that the world hadn't ended."

The bats circling above just as he's about to make the jump.....the fear that caused him all this pain, the fear that made him so strong, the fear that broke his body and spirit and the fear stays just as he is about to rise.... Nolans's imagery is inspirational, humane and epic.

The best cure for depression. The ultimate motivation. The Dark Knight ❤️

I swear to god every time the old man says “without the rope” i get chills

Sometimes a man rises from the darkness. Sometimes the pit sends something back.

Begins with fear Ends with chaos Rises with pain Best Trilogy Ever

"how can you study longer than possible, stay up later than possible, without the most powerful impulse of the spirt.....the fear of failure." "let FEAR...find you again....."

Key difference between Talia Al Ghul and batman Talia believes them all to be monsters and it's okay for Bane to die with them so she does not throw in the rope. She'd rather he dies with them all. Batman believes he must throw in the rope because there are still few good people down there. Same belief for Gotham, Talia wants to destroy it because it is very corrupt and dirty. Batman wants to save it because there are still few good people.

Small but really telling detail: How casually Bruce tosses the rope down. After facing down tremendous personal demons, and overcoming near impossible adversity, his first instinct is to help his fellow prisoners. No taunts, no hesitation, to celebrating. It's such a simple, brief moment, almost thoughtless. And then he doesn't wait around at the top for congratulations, or to feign humility as he secretly seeks praise for doing something that only one other person managed to do. We can't fully comprehend it, but we can see and imagine the relief and hope overwhelming them by looking at the old man's face. It's like he's just now contemplating the possibilities of freedom, something he probably never let himself think or dream about for years up until this moment. Bruce immediately leaves, knowing full well he'll likely never see any of them again, to progress to the next obstacle. It really shows you what kind of person he is at heart. A good one. It also makes me picture a scene where the jailors return for a supply run only to find an empty prison, realizing that one of their captives found the strength to escape the pit, and maintained enough humanity to do for others what they may never have done for him if the situation were reversed. It really shows you what kind of person Bruce is at heart, which is to say a good one.

"As the child did " 1:53 the bgm starts Goosebumps overloaded💥🦇💯

I wish they’d release this in the theatre again. Would totally go see it again

AI love this reimagining of the Lazurus pit. Its not some magical pool that brings immortality, its a literal hole that forces you to mend your spirit if you want to escape. Its a genius reimagining that pays homage to the comics.

The emotional impact of this masterpiece scene is just unmatched. Motivation at its finest

It’s 2024 and I’m still coming back to this

This is why Christopher Nolan is a f*cking legend. Epic moments like these, combined with great storytelling

Absolutely astonishing acting from the blind old man. The expression on his face when he hears the cheering is incredibly deep

Seeing all these comments and rewatching this scene motivates me. I understand where everyone is coming from and I think this represents everyone's lives. When hitting rock bottom we tend to lose hope and give up on life. But this scene just inspires me so much. Now I just wanna get out the hole I'm in and "rise". Thanks for this guys

Put on a set of headphones and listen to this with your eyes closed. When it is over, you will have an emotional response you have never had before.

You know what's awesome about this scene? The whole cinema knew that he is obviously going to make the jump, but it was still so epicly motivational and emotional that a few of them clapped. Now that is what I call a movie.

'what does that mean?' ' *RISE* '

“Chanting” “What does that mean” “Rise”… *Immediate goosebumps*

We are all in that hole. It's up to us to make the climb out of it.

"Bruce. Why do we fall?"..."So we can learn to RISE"

Best scene for those who are hopless depressed sad in life who lives in darkness. My bro. U will get out of it. Just pick up urself and RISE.

This scene alone has done wonders for me over the years....whenever i felt that it cant be done. I come here watch this...right when the blind man says " as the child did, without the rope" and Bale's face right after it gives you that uplift followed by the scene, the music the chant and the upside shot of Bruce before jumping makes you lock your eyes with this masterpiece...Damn.

Nolan + Zimmer = Legendary Masterpiece

This is the greatest superhero trilogy of all time

I remember watching this after being depressed for several years in my late teens, this exact scene played in my head for weeks as i started at the gym, now several years later im about to do my first powerlifting competition, i cant owe enough to this scene for putting my life on the right path to reach my full potential physically and mentally.

No mcu movies is as epic and motivational than this trilogy

This video is the definition of how music can entirely change a scene

Marvel doesn't come close to this.

3:41 the old guy regrets.the fear of death made him to live his entire life in here,which is worse than death itself.

Greatest 4 minutes in the history of Movie Making

The fact that he saw the bats again (which was the most thing he feared), it meant that fear had found him again, and he knew that he can't fail this time, so he made a decision that he has to climb out and save Gotham and he started saving everyone by throwing down the rope to them. It's really a tense scene and a brilliant one as well!

This scene is how I’ll be when I leave my house for the first time after quarantine is over

One of the most incredible iconic scenes in history of cinema.

Hands down my favorite scene in movie history. Absolute masterpiece.

Old Man : "Then make the climb " Bruce : *Falls and dies* Old Man : "Oh shit.. what have I done "

This is the most important moment in Bruce Wayne's life. The rope symbolizes his father coming down to get him in the well. Now for the first time he has to really face the fear and pain of his childhood, even more so than in Batman Begins. This is him finally moving past that and it's why after this he's Batman in the daylight. He's come out of the shadows. Top that Marvel and Zack Snyder!

It’s going to be 10 years and I still get goosebumps. Still can’t forget how happy my dad was watching this scene in the theatre!

Hans zimmers piece goes so well woth this scene too. Pute masterpiece

Bruce Wayne fell in this ground when he was a kid and returned as Batman. This time he fell again but came back as Bruce Wayne because his real fear is lost.

“I’m not afraid, I’m angry.” That shit gave me goosebumps man..

I don't think any movie will ever recreate the feeling I had while first watching this scene 11 years ago.

That moment when the bats fly out of that hole, best part about it.

Mans said “ah supplies for ur journey” like he ain’t believe he was gon do it LMAO

Anger or thirst for vengeance blinded the bruce from batman begins, here bruce makes that mistake again. Luckily he has someone who corrects him and; therefore, finally overcoming his past demons, using fear as a tool, all in one masterpiece

I know it's the smallest part to this or whatever probably, but one of the best things about this sequence is where he throws the rope down at the end. Just a lovely touch.

The Dark Knight Rises (2012) 10/10 Batman Begins (2005) 10/10 The Dark Knight (2008) 10/10

A Masterpiece of a trilogy. From the music, the cast of actors selected, to the writing. Inspiring.

This is not just a scene for me.. its basically my life.. it’s always this part I come back to when I need to be picked up again. I’m 28 years old and this scene always brings tears to my eyes. Not only because Christian bale is one of my favourite actors and my favourite Batman and I’m a MASSIVE Batman fan(I have Batman memorabilia & other collectibles in my room) but mainly for his iron will and his dedication and never giving up. Seeing him stand up out of that pit rising like the warrior he is with Mr. Hans Zimmers music and the prisoners cheering is bloody amazing it gives me chills and its exactly how I felt. Being sick & dying in bed everyday first from destroying my body, and then being sick from healing it, as Batmans was until he was finally ready to make the climb and rise. I like to think that I myself conquered what I did and I also did rise again. I finally made my climb out of my prison of addiction. I’m no warrior but I battled drug addiction in my life and pretty much lost everything. After highschool, I went from an athlete, a competing promising kickboxer, a basketball player, to a junkie loser. No money no future no desire literally nothing. Couldn’t even save a dime. I was a walking corpse. Nobody wanted anything to do with me. I didn’t either. You can imagine I was called every name in the book and suicidal thoughts were nothing new to me anymore. Talking harshly to myself was nothing new to me anymore. I had a privileged life I had everything I ever wanted and I guess somewhere down the line I took advantage of it and abused it and I went from a good kid an athlete, to nothing. Just another junkie loser. Here I was hurting my loved ones but mainly myself the worst way possible. After battling pure hell somehow with the Grace of God one day at a time I’m now almost 4 years clean and sober and I have everything back in my life and more. My family. An amazing fiancé who knows everything about me and wants to be there for me through it all. And I can actually save money now which is a blessing to me like no other. I went to acting school for couple years and got an agent and became an actor so we’ll see what happens with that. It has become my passion. And I started a small carpentry business at home since Covid started. I love acting but If it doesn’t workout, I can atleast do the things that I want to do now in life and try. And not be trapped in my prison of addiction anymore.. Despite all that I still consider myself a junkie loser who hasn’t really done anything in his life. And I don’t feel like I’ll ever make my parents proud. Staring death in the face and fighting for my life and conquering it back from addiction I guess isn’t something this older generation of my Indo Canadian ppl think it’s anything to be proud of.. more like something to be ashamed of. I know I have to talk to myself kinder and that’s something I’m working on. But it’s hard when even now sometimes people who I don’t get along with that well try to judge you for your past mistakes. Using my past as a weapon. So I just stay away now as I can’t handle that kinda toxicity in my life. It hurts more and does more damage than most will know but it is what it is. Most importantly I just hope to make my family proud, mainly my fiancé and my parents who will hopefully be proud to call me her husband and their son one day. Thats all I really want. That’s all I hope for. Thank you for your time to read this. All the real ones struggling and fighting out there please keep going. One day at a time. You are a warrior like Batman! When he finally rises out of that pit it is exactly how I felt when I finally beat my addiction and saw the world with my clear eyes again. I was rising again. To a better, wiser and stronger me. I made the climb. You Will Also Rise! God Bless You🙏🏼💪🏼🖤

Batman Begins - Overcoming fear The Dark Knight - Bringing Order The Dark Knight rises - Rebirth

The depth to that scene is ridiculous it's literally Biblical 🙏

The Pit is actually Nolan's interpretation of the Lazarus Pit. A grounded pit. Seeming references to the Lazarus Pit in the film include: 1. Bruce healing from his injured back after being placed there by Bane (albeit over a period of 5 months) 2. A hallucination of Ra's al Ghul telling Bruce that "there are many forms of immortality", hinting that he is "immortal" through the birth of his daughter who was born in the Pit. 3. The death of Ra's al Ghul's wife in the Pit, who lost both of his wives (one of whom was Talia's mother) because of the Lazarus Pit in the comics. 4. The apparent insanity of the prisoners who killed Talia's mother, a common side effect of the Lazarus Pit.

We all knew he was gonna make the jump but the bats coming out and Bruce showing some fear of them AND making the jump catches you off guard Well written scene!

Hands down one of the most inspirational moments in terms of overcoming adversity I've seen. I use this as a motivational tool when I go to the gym and for other situations outside of that. This is probably the best scene in this entire classic in my view.

This movie and especially this scene always gets me motivated and helps me out of dark times when I'm at my lowest. Also that it shows that even someone like Batman can be depressed for 8 years and still manages to get through it somehow. Fictional character and still helping me like if he was sort of my mentor.

Hans zimmer deserves as much credit as anyone else for how great this trilogy is

I must've watched this scene a dozen (if not more) times over the past two years. A deep part of my being yearned to be able to tap into the same pure courage and spirit that Bruce exercised here. The scene spoke to me, instructing me on how to act and guiding my evolution. Then one day not too long ago I watched this scene again. It still felt meaningful yet I noticed that the deep yearning in my soul wasn't there anymore. I'd embodied the lesson shown in this clip in my own life and hence nourished my soul. Deep gratitude to Nolan, Bale and all who produced this marvellous cinema magic.

Bale is best batman ever

This is one of those scenes that make you reevaluate your whole approach about life. Climbing from the bottom, without the rope. The symbolisms are just perfect. That prison could be your current situation, even depression. This is such a life lesson.

The soundtrack building up as Bruce climbs, cut with the shots of the old prisoner who had helped him, and the bats symbolizing his fear and using it to succeed .. just amazing movie-making. This is the best scene I can remember in recent years.

2:55 He has found his fear ... oh yea damn

Still such a great scene 🙌🏼 the way the old guy starts lightly chanting and it builds up to the jump was great. The emotion of that scene is amazing

This scene resonates with me in so many ways. Since late 2019, shortly after high school and before 2020, my life has spiralled downhill, i spent a yr just doing nothing at home, staying up late at night for too long, watching and doing things i wasn't suppose to do, struggling with managing diabetes, having poor social skills and overall just not being productive. I'm currently in my lowest point in my life and I've been living in the same area for yrs now, especially with the quarantine and the pandemic. Now watching this scene from the dark knight rises as bruce Wayne climbs out of the pit is a truly emotional and inspiring scene, since it reflects how we can all overcome all the anxieties in life and take the risk that'll change our lives for the better! I won't give up and i have faith that I'll escape my hellhole and find purpose in life! Pray for me guys, pray for me.

This scene got me out of the hospital when I broke my leg. After two surgeries I was absolutely miserable and all I wanted to do was go home, but I needed to prove I could manage that. But my first attempt at physio was an absolute disaster. The therapist wanted me to go from one end of the corridor outside my ward to another, on just a crutch. I managed a step or two but gave in to pain. I retreated to my hospital bed and hated myself for a while. But I loaded this up on my tablet, and remembered how much I was psyched watching this the very first time in the cinema. And the next day I called the nurse and physiotherapist, and asked to try again. I made it from one end of the corridor to the other by pushing through the pain. When my therapist asked, I made it up the stairs at the end of that corridor. And when he asked me for more, I made it to the end of the hall at the top of those stairs. I got to go home to my own bed that weekend. If I hadn't seen this movie, I'd probably have had to take the long way around.

Whenever things are looking bad I start chanting this "It is possible possible it is possible possible" and that's how life should be lived

That last minute is one of the most breathtaking pieces of cinema you’ll ever see. Nolan and Zimmer are on a different planet

That prisoner made Batman realize that fear is strength, not weakness.Fear makes us alert,when he climbed without rope he knows there is no one to guard his back that alertness made it go 🎉🎉

How the bat are people saying Ben Affleck is the true Batman, I'm sorry but Christian Bale will always be my favorite and true Batman.

the acting in the dark knight trilogy is absolute world class, but what really makes these films so good is that incredible score by hans zimmer....gives me shivers every time I hear it
