Film Review: Batman: The Dark Knight Rises [2012]






In 2008’s The Dark Knight, Alfred tells Bruce to ‘Know your limits’ as Bruce answers back ‘Batman has no limits.” The final installment of Christopher Nolan’s epic comes to a close with The Dark Knight Rises as Batman goes up against the terrorist Bane. The Batman has vanished for eight years following the fatal fall of Harvey Dent. Now has Gotham finally finds its sense of peace, the Catwoman and the mysterious Bane drive the Bane out from his exile.

Bruce Wayne is at an emotionally weakened state following the death of Rachel Dawes and unfortunate fall of Harvey Dent. His isolation is realized after meeting Selina Kyle who uplifts his spirits. Commissioner Gordon has a protégé in the form of police officer John Blake. Both Bruce and Gordon have younger mirrors of themselves to draw strength from to push further against the menace that strikes Gotham.
