Calling The Dark Knight Rises ambitious is an
understatement. Christopher Nolan’s final chapter in the Dark Knight Trilogy is
epic in length, far-reaching in scope, complex and literary in its themes.
Picking up eight years after the events in The Dark Knight, Batman has not been
seen since the night Harvey Dent died. Yet, a new threat emerges in Bane (Tom
Hardy), a terrorist determined to overturn the social classes of Gotham and
make the wealthy confront their sins. Meanwhile, Bruce Wayne is coaxed out of a
self-imposed exile by sexy cat burglar Selina Kyle (Anne Hathaway). Plus
there’s stuff involving beat cop John Blake (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and wealthy
industrialist Miranda Tate (Marion Cotillard).
