This movie sticks with me because of the Aurora shooting. That's where I grew up, and I was about to go to the theater where it happened, but decided to go elsewhere for the movie premiere. When we got out and heard the news, I was crushed and could not sleep for 3 days. Definitely was a great movie, but it sticks with me for terrible reasons.
It is super rare, none of the past films had this vibe. A vibe of "thanks, and so long", and you feel closure. Something the Comics and the DCEU has had trouble sorting out how to find a grounded delivery like this series
How did you not know Tom Hardy is Bane?!? Lol that’s awesome that you discovered that on this rewatch lol. As for the “bane voice”, im actually a fan of it, like it or not it is definitely iconic. I’m now at the point where I think of that voice when I think of Bane in general.
Matty I'd love for you to check out one of my Bane edits sometime called " The Exiled One" every time I see this film Bane as a character grows on me more and more Tom Hardy really nailed bringing a lot of life to that character using his body language his eyes and despite the voice at times just the verbal mannerisms giving off a sense that this character is a bit of a philosopher and how there's certain times you can hear his voice crackling because despite the mask keeping the full extent of the pain at Bay he's always in pain especially when he speaks, I would have loved to see some flashbacks between Bane and Ra's al Ghul to flush out the dynamic of that relationship along with the similarities and differences of Bane's training compared to Bruce's in Batman Begins considering it was a different era of the league during Bane's time with them
Batman Begins is top for me. I love anything involving Bruce's early years when he's just starting out and there's whispers of some "Bat" stalking the streets, taking down thugs that were holding Gotham in fear. Then The Dark Knight would be next, followed by Rises.
Although both series are totally unrelated, I kinda like to think that Bruce makes it alive only to go on to become something like Ben Affleck's Bruce. He makes the mistake of leaving Robin and Gotham, loses everything, and turns full militarist vigilante.
Hathaway does a good job as Catwoman... but you absolutely need to check out the other live action iterations of Catwoman. Including the three different portrayals in the classic TV series from the 60s. Each one is very much their own version. There may not be any agreement on which one is best, but there's generally agreement on which iteration is worst... (and that's not any one that shares screentime with Batman)
Hot take: Dark Knight trilogy are my least favourite Batman movies. But after thinking about it... i don't think i like any superhero movies) I like superhero shows, comics and even games so much more than movies.
I haven't watched this movie in a long time, so i don't remember details why he stopped being Batman, but i don't like that he stopped being Batman. What about people? Who is going to help them? What about "with great power comes great responsibility?"? I feel like you just can't stop being a hero, because it is a regression of a character. It makes you look weaker. It makes Bryce Wayne basically a coward.
While i still like this one i think i put it at the bottom of the pile for the nolan films. It has a bunch of great moments mixed in with not very good acting (looking at you talia) and some seriously head scratching moments (how do we not see the way bruce gets back to gotham).
The audio mixing is a common issue that I've found brought up across many of Nolan's movies. Believe it is most prevalent in Tenet, but yeah, that would explain your issue with Bane's voice mixing.
Sadly true, Tom Hardy, and Heath Ledger were friends for many years. What a better way to honor someone, than to deliver a phenomenal performance? The Joker was originally supposed to be in play. Along with other baddies banding together to take on the Bat. Gotham the TV series also spun a similar concept in its final season as well
Yeah, I think it’s commonly agreed upon that ‘Rises’ is the weakens of Nolan’s ‘Dark knight’ trilogy (Altough I also think it’s pretty good, just not as good as the others)
As a life long batman fan, this is a bad batman movie. Batman maybe can be put in the bitch position once in a movie or comic, but not twice. Nolan proved in this entry he didnt get the character fully IMO.
@@barkley8285 Bruce was motivated to become batman because his parents died tragically. Rachel (who friendzoned him twice) dies and he becomes the billionaire simp and cries for 8 years. I'm sorry but that's awful writing. Rachel didn't even need to exist quite honestly. Also Alfred's character change comes out of nowhere. Nolan butchered Talias character. The only fair to good character in the whole movie was Bane and he ended up being a side villain for all intent and purposes. The robin wink and nod at the end was a cheap pop to steal from mick foley. Oh and also catwoman isnt robinhood so Nolan got her wrong too. Nolan understands batman to a point, then it goes off the rails in my opinon.
@@MJWP2334 have you even watched the movies? Not sure if this is even worth talking about because you displayed a clear lack of understanding for the movies. Bruce quits being batman because he takes the fall for harvey dent and becomes the 1# criminal, bruce then gets depressed and realizes he has no future without batman, he wants to fail and die as batman as he sees no other outcome/option. your entie comment is nothing but bitching about stupid shit that doesnt matter anyways. This isnt a 1-1 comic remake of batman, its an action/thriller using batmans mythos and asking the question "what would batman be like in the real world?" "does bruce wayne have a life beyond batman?" "what does it mean to be batman?" This movie is arguably the greatest batman story ever told, it take Bruce at his lowest and shows us that batman will never fall and always rise up against any threat to gotham, he inspires the entire city to do better as well as nurturingthe next batman. He finaally does what his parents wanted most out of him - to find happiness and a life beyond batman/gotham. Something the comics will never do because of capitalism and unending stories, and edginess. This movie is for adults who understand depth to movies and the meaning of "heroes" not the edgy teenager who needs dark broody batman.
@@barkley8285 Oh so because I don't like a movie and choose to express why I don't, that means I'm not an adult. If YOU like the movie, good for you. Batman Begins and The Dark Knight are 10/10 films. I like Nolan's other films for the most part (inception, interstellar and Oppenheimer). Besides what I put in my previous comment which basically was I just wasn't on board with Nolan's portrayal of certain characters, there are some serious story flaws and cheesy conveniences in the film, which is unusual for a director of Nolan's reputation. The cinematography, scope and music score was very well done in Rises and it looks fantastic on 4k disc. The script is looser than a vegas strett corner girl. The other two movies scripts were air tight with barely any flaws. I'll give Nolan this though, he found cute ways for batman to "kill" without receiving the Batfleck backlash. I give this movie a shot to change my mind every year with a rewatch and so far, no avail.
@@MJWP2334 no your opinion is wack because your criticisms are child level and don’t mean much. If you had an issue with the deeper plot or themes then fine, but “the robin cameo was cringe” doesn’t mean anything. This isn’t a comic accurate Batman, it’s a story about Bruce Wayne and an action thriller. The characters take inspiration from the pages, they aren’t grabbed straight from them. That was the whole point.
This film was a letdown for me... BB was great, TDK was amazing, but TDKR was... Meh. Had its moments, but too many plot contrivances for me... parts felt rushed. A disappointment coming off of the almost perfection of TDK
The catwoman and bane wasn't done right. Not comicbook friendly. I blame the writers. It ruined the trilogy for me. Batman 1 and 2 great movies. Batman 3 killed the series. Never watched it again for ten years. I ben affleck was a realistic batman voice changer. I like that better. They should of done that for bane.
The Dark Knight Rises is my personal favorite. Although, TDK is still the greatest comicbook movie of all time.
Playing Starfield and listening to you video. You're my guy bro. Keep your grind up and kill life.

I don’t think Batman ever really gets a happy ending so it’s nice he got one in Nolan’s movies.

I agree with the order of the trilogy.
Dark Knights hands down the best live Action Batman movie
Followed by Begins and ended with Rises
Hey, Matt: watch a Hardy movie called Locke. Pure acting gold.
Although both series are totally unrelated, I kinda like to think that Bruce makes it alive only to go on to become something like Ben Affleck's Bruce. He makes the mistake of leaving Robin and Gotham, loses everything, and turns full militarist vigilante.
Should watch Batman Assault On Arkham
The way I see it, Batman DID die. Bruce Wayne is who you see at the end, not Batman.
I love Tom Hardy. He was in a greatly underrated TV show, Taboo.
You want some Tom Hardy? Check out the movie Bronson.
Hathaway does a good job as Catwoman... but you absolutely need to check out the other live action iterations of Catwoman.

People who think death in a story the most impactful thing are the dumbest mfs I swear.

Man of steel ???
Were you born for this?
Were you molded by it?
Is this the wrong movie reference?
I can tell you what tho…. I was def molded by loosing a series with a 3-0 advantage.
While i still like this one i think i put it at the bottom of the pile for the nolan films. It has a bunch of great moments mixed in with not very good acting (looking at you talia) and some seriously head scratching moments (how do we not see the way bruce gets back to gotham).
Wild that you didn’t know Bane was Hardy and that you hadn’t been introduced to him prior 😂
I always thought it might have just been un Alfreds head
The audio mixing is a common issue that I've found brought up across many of Nolan's movies. Believe it is most prevalent in Tenet, but yeah, that would explain your issue with Bane's voice mixing.
Tenet was intentionally like that though….
@thedoncjg6263 even still though, it's still a complaint/critique people made despite it being the director's choice to do so.
Cotillard and a multitude of logic issues kill it IMO. I think it's the weakest thing Nolan has ever put to screen
I heard the reason Bane was the main villan was because Heath Leger died during filming
Sadly true, Tom Hardy, and Heath Ledger were friends for many years. What a better way to honor someone, than to deliver a phenomenal performance?
The Joker was originally supposed to be in play. Along with other baddies banding together to take on the Bat.
Gotham the TV series also spun a similar concept in its final season as well
Still needs to watch this trilogy .
Clear dialogue and Chris Nolan cannot coexist
This movie features, debatably, the worst fight choreography in movie history.
In your mind. In reality…. No.
Yeah, I think it’s commonly agreed upon that ‘Rises’ is the weakens of Nolan’s ‘Dark knight’ trilogy (Altough I also think it’s pretty good, just not as good as the others)
I have the same rankings of the trilogy 😅
As a life long batman fan, this is a bad batman movie. Batman maybe can be put in the bitch position once in a movie or comic, but not twice. Nolan proved in this entry he didnt get the character fully IMO.
On the contrary I’d argue this movie proved Nolan understood Bruce Wayne better than 90% of the comic industry has for the past 80 years.

This one didn't age well, at all.
it was to depressive for me and i didnt liked the story at all

Such a horrible movies that at the time people liked for some reason.
