![]() Indeed, as we soon see, Bruce Wayne has become a withdrawn and crippled individual who has no desire to move on from his days as Batman, Commissioner Gordon has found himself not really taking much pride in his work due to the weight on his shoulders in the form of the lie that he and Batman created to ensure Gotham could know the peace it now does, Alfred finds himself falling into sadness and resignation over Bruce’s lack of regard for his personal well-being, and Lucius Fox has been struggling to keep Wayne Enterprises afloat due Bruce investing a huge chunk of money in an energy project, but then, without explanation, shuttering it. Yet for all the people who have managed to settle into and embrace this new time in the history of Gotham, the main individuals who are responsible for ensuring this peace have paid quite dearly for their noble actions. The plot is as follows: The Dark Knight Rises opens up eight years since the death of Harvey Dent in The Dark Knight, and, quite astonishingly, Gotham has actually managed to find a way to attain an actual degree of peace. All you have to do is just sit back and watch in awe and wonder. Indeed take note: this is true movie magic at work. ![]() Indeed Nolan may have already shown that he was a true genius, but with this film he simply managed to etch it into stone for all time. ![]() Indeed this isn’t only iconic filmmaking for a comic book film, but iconic filmmaking period. Indeed this is a more-than-satisfying and trilogy-best conclusion to greatest comic book film series ever made. Now we come to The Dark Knight Rises and this, by Nolan’s own admission, is his final foray into this extraordinary world, and, in the opinion of this reviewer, I think it is safe to say that this is a conclusion that is just as riveting as his first 2 acts to the story. However it was when The Dark Knight decided to engage in telling a riveting crime saga based in the world of post-9/11, and in the process provided the late Heath Ledger an opportunity to put on a performance for the ages and astonish the entire world as a result, it really seemed like Nolan had also managed to corner the market on a new genre of comic book films known as “superhero noir”. Indeed it was Nolan’s odd fixation on dual identities, psychological trauma, and just how dark one soul truly can become that really contributed quite a bit of the realism that helped Batman Begins back in 2005 go over as well as it did with both critics and the general movie going population. I feel it must be said that any attempt to follow-up on a grand truly once-in-a-generation type cinematic experience like The Dark Knight was going to be a very risky endeavor, but then again Christopher Nolan has always been one director who could make a gamble become courtesy of a little magic into a sure thing.
