Summary More than a decade after Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight trilogy ended, there still hasn't been a solo Batman movie. The DCEU gave us another version, played by Ben Affleck, but his solo project was, of course, canceled. In that time, appreciation for The Dark Knight Rises has only grown. Somewhat divisive on release - mostly because it wasn't as good as its predecessor - it remains hugely entertaining.
14 "You Do Not Fear Death. You Think This Makes You Strong. It Makes You Weak" Uri Gavriel as Blind Prisoner One of the best things about The Dark Knight Rises is the way it challenges the idea of Batman. This is not a reinforcement of the concept of the Dark Knight as a God, and his weakness is a rich vein running through the threequel. And while it's Bane who breaks the Bat physically, it's Bruce Wayne who has to break hsi alter-ego down properly in order to win.
12 "Innocent Is A Strong Word To Throw Around Gotham" Marion Cotillard as Miranda Tate The contradiction of Batman's desire to save Gotham City has never been lost in Batman movies. His ability to see any good in arguably the worst city ever written in DC lore is not so much a superpower as a blind-spot. And Talia al Ghul presents that painful truth to Batman when her true identity is revealed.
10 "I Never Wanted You To Come Back To Gotham..." Michael Caine as Alfred Long before the ending showed Alfred discovering Bruce had faked his death, Batman's happy ending was set up perfectly by Alfred's heartbreaking revelation that he knew his surrogate son was always better off staying away. It's as if Alfred knew the substance of Bruce, and that he'd never be able to escape his trauma.
He was a symbol precisely because he was extraordinary, unconventional next to the city's criminal filth, but just a Superman was a symbol of hope, Batman being a symbol of guardianship was a compelling new take. It's also a reminder of Bale's origin speech from Batman Begins: 6 "I'm Still A Believer In The Batman. Even If You're Not" Joseph Gordon-Levitt as John Blake JGL's John Blake is the wholesome moral heart of The Dark Knight Rises: an incorruptible force who faces the greatest challenge to his faith when he learns that Jim Gordon covered up Harvey Dent's crimes for the greater good. In one lengthy speech to Bruce Wayne, Blake confirms himself as everything Batman believes he needs to save in Gotham.
