Talinite he needed fear to escape the prison and his mind! He kept using the rope so he didn’t fear he was boastful . We all need to take a leap of faith and have will to overcome demons inside . The strongest impulse is fear of death it will literally bring the best out of you. Batman rises
How can you fight longer than possible? Run faster than possible? Without the most powerful impulse of the spirit their is, the fear of death. One of my favorite quotes from this trilogy.
SSJ2B Vegeta Are you deaf or something you got the entire quote wrong..... "How can you move faster than possible, fight longer than possible without the most powerful impulse of the spirit: the fear of death. " 3 mistakes in 3 sentences is a bit too much...
not conquer. to embrace it. use fear to motivate you. that's why he didn't use the rope: "as the child did... without the rope. Then fear will find you again." - Blind prisoner
Rope (safety/possibility of another chance) was actually weighing him down 'Without the rope' literally set him free and he climbed as if it was his last shot at life A masterpiece in narration.
I love the ending scene where he throws the rope down to free the prisoners after he sets himself free. It is only after we suffer and free ourselves from our fear and attachment that we can free others.
Nero Caesar but the best part is that that's how batman is, he doesn't look for a thanks or for worship, he does this simp,y because he doesn't want another person to have to go what he went through
I like the tone that set by Christopher Nolan on this trilogy. When people always thought that superhero movies are always about those special power and fighting against evil forces, this trilogy shows something more than those. In simple term, this trilogy is one of the best trilogy I ever watched.
I read once from a google image that in Batman Rises they broke Bruce's mind, in The Dark Knight they broke his spirit and in The Dark Knight Rises they broke his body. Damn good trilogy if you ask me.
Nicolás Rodríguez, I think you mean Batman Begins instead of Batman Rises :D Yea, this trilogy has a special place in my heart for a superhero genre live-action movie~
This scene speaks to everyone. At some point in your life you have to stop relying on your parents or whoever is supporting you at the time and just have to go thru life and its troubles by yourself.
But most specifically in this story I find it very well thought out that bruce waynes first fear..to fall in the well and cave full of bats would in the end be his biggest test to finally beat..without "the rope" " his father's help".
Yep I love this scene for a similar reason. We can all relate. When we find ourselves in our own inner prison there is only one escape. The scene shows that anger and not fearing death are 'young' emotions that do not display the maturity, patience and fear required to truly set yourself free. whether it is from parents, your current job situation, your current relationship, you need to slowly and carefully climb out of that hole. I find Bruce had to learn to respect his mortality, find humility by listening to the advice of others when he thought he knew better, go slow and steady even though his body wanted to attack fast and hard. so many lessons here!!!! and the chant they do when he is rising is great 😁
Not exactly. The point of this scene is: "You can't go all in and do your absolute best when in the back of your mind you know that there is a safety net and you can try again later".
This is my favorite movie scene of all time. The prison sometimes is our own mind. The fear of not knowing if you're going to make it keeps you locked in that prison until you take a leap of faith. The inmates chanting rise is our self conscious digging deep and getting riled up to make the leap. When we preserver we feel ultimate victory and become stronger then we were before. Sometimes we need to be completely broken in order to be rebuilt even better. This scene is powerful metaphor for life and will stick with me forever.
Hakasauars And he was Batman when he jumped out of the pit. We had the bats and everything. Anyway stop taking it seriously. Its just a movie after all.
You're not human if you didn't get chills from this scene in the theater. Never mind the imagery, but just closing your eyes and listening to the chant and score is enough to make you tear up.
My theater booed because we had to sit in the theater for 1 more hour of batman being batman doing batman things. The movie was way too long and overdrawn
This scene means so much to me. Back in High School I was a wrestler and had wrestled for pretty much all my life and going into my senior year I got into an accident that broke my femur and I was unable to walk and finish out my senior year and that was the year college teams were getting an interest in me. But all that went away by one freak accident. I thought I wasn’t going to walk again and was in a pretty rough spot mentally and was suffering from depression and felt that my life was falling apart. Right around the time this movie came out I went to see it with a friend of mine and after seeing Bruce go through a similar journey I did of being injured physically and mentally and overcoming it, it inspired me to never lose hope and to keep fighting. Believe it or not this scene helped me through a dark time in my life . Watching Bruce pull himself physically and mentally out of the a hole of darkness and depression and succeeding left such an impact on me that it motivated me enough to want to do the same. After months of enduring physical therapy I was making significant progress of building back my muscle that I lost and not long after I was able to walk again. The doctors were so amazed at how well I recovered especially after telling me that it would be unlikely that I could walk again. Even though I couldn’t wrestle my senior year I still learned a lot from my experience. I owe a lot to this movie and especially this scene. This scene is one of the big reasons why Batman is my favorite comic character because he inspires us to never give up and be the best version of ourselves. Sorry for the long rant. Stay safe and blessed everyone and never give up…
Your story really hit me because we have a lot in common and both went through some similar struggles. Your recovery is amazing but it’s only because you did it “without the rope”. Giving up wasn’t an option for you. You had no plan B, nothing to fall back on when things got hard, and made full recovery your only goal. Combined with some incredible will power and determination, it’s not surprising you accomplished what you set out to do. I know how difficult what you did was because I went through something similar. One thing I can guarantee is that we are both much stronger people for having experienced fighting up from rock bottom. I feel bad for people who have never had to deal with adversity in their lives because it truly does change you. It makes you more resilient, mentally stronger, develops your character and confidence, and instills in you a level of tenacity that most people don’t have. The little things that typically make people miserable isn’t going to even faze someone who has fought thru years of hell. In college, I played baseball and wrestled. During the first wrestling practice of sophomore year, I felt a strange cramping in my stomach. I spent the next two years in constant pain that intensified whenever I ate. I was misdiagnosed by every doctor I saw and continued to wither away as I was only eating a bagel every day or two. I finally found a doctor who diagnosed me properly: Crohn’s Disease. I had surgery soon after. The day I first felt that twinge in my stomach I was 6’, 175 pounds, benched 325, and looked like what most people would think of when you say athlete. The day of my surgery, I weighed 110 pounds. During surgery, they opened me up from the bottom of my abdomen to about 4 inches above my belly button. The incision (and the scar I have from it) was nearly 8 inches. My surgeon removed my intestines, put them on a table, and then cut off over three feet of intestine from several different places before sowing them back up and putting them back inside me. I was in the hospital for 10 days after surgery with a button that I could press for pain medication. I pressed that thing like I was a contestant on Jeopardy. I couldn’t walk for the first six days after surgery. On the seventh day, I tried to shower and I was so weak I couldn’t raise my arms high enough to wash my hair. When I finally got home, my parents asked me what I wanted to do now that I would eventually be somewhat normal again. I said I wanted to play ball again. They didn’t think it was likely, but encouraged me to try. That was May of 2001. In the spring of 2002, after a year of recovery, physical therapy, and rebuilding my body, I stepped on a baseball field again for a semi-pro team. In my first at-bat, I doubled to dead center field. I could barely make it to second as I completely broke down. I finally got to second and looked at the dugout to see my best friend balling while the rest of my team screamed, some with tears in their eyes. I played baseball from the age of 3 to 28 with a few lost years in the middle. I couldn’t tell you how many home runs I hit, what my batting average was, or any other stats, but I’ll never forget that double. You and I both did it without the rope. We had no plan B. We were going to achieve what we set out to do or die trying. Without a plan B, when things get hard your only option is to keep fighting and keep moving forward. Failure is far more terrifying when you have no backup plan. To anyone reading this, the best advice I can give you is if you really want something in life, pursue it “without the rope”. The fear of failure is incredibly powerful, especially when you have no plan B. Work hard, fight through all the adversity, and then make the jump without the rope. You’ll be amazed how often you end up on the other side.
It's kind of true. Because there is a comic in which Wonder woman uses her rope to determine the real identities of Superman and Batman. While Superman said Kal El, Batman said Batman, instead of Bruce Wayne. This scene was written to make the readers realise that it was not Bruce Wayne who was disguising as Batman, but Batman disguising as Bruce Wayne.
Isn't your master plan trying to get this hothead, who posted a rightful comment about this scene, out of here? Well you aren't doing a very good job at it, are you?
Agreed. This is a very moving scene and captures almost everything I love about Batman hell it more shows that it's the person "Bruce Wayne" who defines the custome not the other way around.
you can see M.C usher stairs at the bottom too. Its kinda Nolan's trademark as seen in inception and the Syncopy logo. Its supposed to represent his unique way of storytelling and creativity.
+Adrian N. Yeah it's so realistic how quickly a person can recover from a severely protruding vertebrae with a simple punch in the back and sit ups. LMAO. Complete shit!!!!!
This will always be one of the best motivational scenes ever made because it's the metaphorical pits life pushes us into, and we need to teach ourselves to make the climb. Without the rope.
not enough people give this film an scene credit .if you care at all about bruce wayne then how can him making the jump not hit your feels hard...he made it he rose ..he was trapped in the well as a kid he climbed the mountain to get the flower ...he always climbs out
I love that they showed the old man’s reaction of disbelief when Bruce made the jump. You know he was thinking Bruce would leave them all there, but Bruce showed what a true leader does is lead others out of darkness as well, and showed that one can possess both remarkable strength and remarkable mercy.
I love it when he says "Ah supplies for your journey, that's wonderful, that's... that's..." it's like he's sad to see him leave because he knows he'll make it, so this is goodbye. He cared for Bruce. So yeah, backup Alfred is a good title.
@@michaelvanwiejr.5022 Anyone can be Alfred. Even someone who does something as simple as feeding you with a spoon, so you know that the meal isn't over.
*Prisoner* : Fear is why you will fail. *Bruce* : I'm not afraid, I'm angry. _Bruce attempts the climb and fails. He wakes up later in his cell._ *Prisoner* : You do not fear death. You think this makes you strong, but it makes you weak. *Bruce* : Why? *Prisoner* : How can you move faster than possible... fight longer than possible... without the most powerful impulse of the spirit... the fear of death? *Bruce* : I do fear death. I fear dying in here, while my city burns and there is no one there to save it. *Prisoner* : Then make the climb. *Bruce* : How? *Prisoner* : As the child did... without the rope. Then fear will find you again. Whoever wrote this script is a genius.
@@Nemesis2508. Do you know why depression absolutely sucks? Because its there even if you try enormously hard to get rid of it. But you can. Also, your mind (everyone's) isn't necessarily you. It sometimes thinks for itself and gets you to believe situations are absolute, sometimes before they even happen! That's why only swift action can dispose of bad, unwarranted thoughts and circumstances. You're the architect of your own fate, friend.
same here bro, it's not often u see scenes like these in movies. If this scene wasnt in this movie I wouldnt give 2 shits about this movie or the entire batman trilogy.
Alistair Overeem are people allowed to have their opinion nowadays or is everyone just lampooned if they differ from the norm? Literally, shut the hell up.
@@kiranmaziz1990 The bats coming out is intentional by the director of the movie, symbolising something. I don't know how but because people are afraid to jump without ropes, they failed to escape the pit
@@kiranmaziz1990 The bats represent Bruce Wayne's greatest fear. They served to remind him who he really is, and to use that fear in his favor. In this case, to find the strength to get out of that pit. Like in real life, everyone of us has a fear of something, and in order for us to get out of that hopeless situation, we need to rely only on ourselves, and conquer that fear.
why would bane not have a guard to protect the prison from the outside in case bruce escapes?..couldn't someone just drop a rope down if they found that prison?..the outside looks nothing like a prison......are their guards?...how do they get food
"you do not fear death, you think this makes you strong.. it makes you weak. How can you move faster than possible, fight longer than possible.. without the most powerful impulse of the spirit, the fear of death" fucking brilliant
Vlad Ghip it is brilliant in the way that it is worded but it's suppose to be wrong Bruce doesn't fear death at all. He fears dying while others suffer. To prove it he took the leap of faith without the rope
Varun Venkatasubramanian That's an incredible interpretation and one that I will definitely use. You have to be committed to what you want to do. I had a fencing competition today where I performed better than I ever have because I trained hard and used these videos to give me drive. I realized that before I was treating fencing as just a game where I shouldn't worry about getting hit and changed it to not wanting to get hit with every ounce of my being.
This is not just a scene for me.. its basically my life.. it’s always this part I come back to when I need to be picked up again. I’m 26 years old and this scene always brings tears to my eyes. Not only because Christian bale is one of my favourite actors and my favourite Batman and I’m a MASSIVE Batman fan(I have Batman memorabilia & other collectibles in my room) but mainly for his iron will and his dedication and never giving up. Seeing him stand up out of that pit rising like the warrior he is with Mr. Hans Zimmers music and the prisoners cheering is bloody amazing it gives me chills and its exactly how I felt. Being sick & dying in bed everyday first from destroying my body, and then being sick from healing it, as Batmans was until he was finally ready to make the climb and rise. I like to think that I myself conquered what I did and I also did rise again. I finally made my climb out of my prison of addiction. I’m no warrior but I battled drug addiction in my life and pretty much lost everything. After highschool, I went from an athlete, a competing promising kickboxer, a basketball player, to a junkie loser. No money no future no desire literally nothing. Couldn’t even save a dime. I was a walking corpse. Nobody wanted anything to do with me. I didn’t either. You can imagine I was called every name in the book and suicidal thoughts were nothing new to me anymore. Talking harshly to myself was nothing new to me anymore. I had a privileged life I had everything I ever wanted and I guess somewhere down the line I took advantage of it and abused it and I went from a good kid an athlete, to nothing. Just another junkie loser. Here I was hurting my loved ones but mainly myself the worst way possible. After battling pure hell somehow with the Grace of God one day at a time I’m now almost 3 years clean and sober and I have everything back in my life and more. My family. An amazing fiancé who knows everything about me and wants to be there for me through it all. And I can actually save money now which is a blessing to me like no other. I went to acting school for couple years and got an agent and became an actor so we’ll see what happens with that. It has become my passion. And I started a small carpentry business at home since Covid started. I love acting but If it doesn’t workout, I can atleast do the things that I want to do now in life and try. And not be trapped in my prison of addiction anymore.. Despite all that I still consider myself a junkie loser who hasn’t really done anything in his life. And I don’t feel like I’ll ever make my parents proud. Staring death in the face and fighting for my life and conquering it back from addiction I guess isn’t something this older generation of my Indo Canadian ppl think it’s anything to be proud of.. more like something to be ashamed of. I know I have to talk to myself kinder and that’s something I’m working on. But it’s hard when even now sometimes people who I don’t get along with that well try to judge you for your past mistakes. Using my past as a weapon. So I just stay away now as I can’t handle that kinda toxicity in my life. It hurts more and does more damage than most will know but it is what it is. Most importantly I just hope to make my family proud, mainly my fiancé and my parents who will hopefully be proud to call me her husband and their son one day. Thats all I really want. That’s all I hope for. Thank you for your time to read this. All the real ones struggling and fighting out there please keep going. One day at a time. You are a warrior like Batman! When he finally rises out of that pit it is exactly how I felt when I finally beat my addiction and saw the world with clear eyes again. I was rising again. To a better, wiser and stronger me. I made the climb. You Will Also Rise! God Bless You🙏🏼💪🏼🖤
Great words - I commend your spirit and self-reflection. While listening to the background video I always look for comments like this, where people tell their personal way out of the pit. As I can see you‘re also a Thommy Shelby fan?
I didn't expect I'd read the whole thing but I did because what you've written is moving. So happy for you buddy and How can you see yourself as a loser? Your current progress itself, might be the life goal for someone still dealing with addiction. You ALREADY are a winner my friend.
10 + years ago I had multiple mental health disorders and was completely trapped in a never-ending nightmare. I worked at it everyday in that prison of despair. Now, I am fully recovered, in a peaceful life situation on the path to achieving my dreams. This scene illustrates it so perfectly. Trying and falling over and over, listening to advice, learning, researching, rebuilding myself. Until one day.....you escape, you rise. Now I have thrown a rope back down the pit to help others on my channel, I teach how I did this with no medication. You can do it, you can make the climb and rise.
Yes. It is possible to come back. I was driven to nearly committing suicide but I found a way back. Somehow I came back from the brink and yeah there are days it’s rough. But to an extent, we have to accept that life is always going to have its struggles. It’s how we act and what we do about those struggles that makes the outcome good or bad.
I think the only thing stopping Spider-man from lifting Thor's hammer is his restraint on killing, so the same would go for Batman, however that's the only thing stopping him from doing so.
I can tell you that the midnight Dark Knight Trilogy was something else. the energy of the audience when Bruce makes the jump, I heard a few people gasp. then when he made it and the music soured everyone started cheering. It was unforgettable
I've never been overcome with such emotion as I was with this film when watching it in the movie theater for the first time. Goosebumps the whole time....the bats appear and just overwhelming emotions of fuck yeah!
Mr Leg acceptable opinion, the original Spider-Man trilogy brought back superhero movies and made them popular again and the first 2 movies were masterpieces. I’d still take the dark knight
This scene was perfection. The music choice, Bale's acting, the two older guys,the chanting, the cinematography, the bats etc. This scene still gives me goosebumps after all this time. The Dark Knight trilogy uses music better than almost any other movie i've seen. The emotion it stirs up is unparalleled.
In Batman begins, Bruce understands, conquers and becomes his fear of bats. In the Dark Knight, Bruce's greatest fear becomes a reality when he loses the woman he loves. He also no longer has any regard for his own life after his failure. In the Dark Knight Rises, Bruce accepts his fear and understands that he needs it because it can give him strength to save Gotham. This is literally a perfect character arc.
@@vasavsanthosh3430 yet this trilogy is the only reason DC hasn't gone bankrupt because even after it's release DC fell right back into squaller & I find it hilarious how ya bitching about marvel when over half the worst movie list of all time includes more DC movies than any other franchises Marvel probably has like 5 movies on the list where as half of DC roster is on their . The Joker movie is the best movie DC has put out since this movie half the dceu movies have sucked they have made hell on man of steel & aquaman we're enjoyable that's it .
I don't know, man. I love the Nolan trilogy, but I also think highly of Chris Evans' performance as Captain America. I could really relate to him and think he is a complex character whose character is also portrayed mostly by subtle acting. People underrate both, Bale and Evans. The ones that do love Captain America don't understand why exactly they do.
All I see is a bunch of DC groupies hating on the success of Marvel. You can comment as you want you will never change the fact that DC can't compete anymore
Man oh man what a scene. Hans Zimmer MAKES the scene because of the score but equally powerful were the crowd chanting and that blind man saying prayers. The introduction of bats indicating the dark knight rising, and ofcourse Bale's remarkable presence makes this one of the most goose bumping, motivating and anxiety inducing scenes in history.
That's the beauty of it. It's not about the individual or the jump itself; it's about the lesson and the courage to re-mold oneself physically and mentally, through psychological reform. If the understanding is not there, then the undertaking of the jump is irrelevant. It's metaphorical. Him, you, or anyone, has to make the jump, otherwise you can't condemn your own convictions and triumph in whatever struggle is in front of you. Batman is great because the lessons in it apply universally.
Firstly, the meaning is kind of subjective. Secondly, I feel like its more than even that. This scene shows Bruce finally becoming the Dark Knight again and rising from the pit he was thrown in. Even at the beginning when he was Batman he really hadn't completely come back. This scene is the completion of his character arc and the true return of the Batman.
silver6kraid I think its the opposite actually. I think the point of showing bruce climb out symbolizes that he has freed himself from the reliance of the bat persona. He can now act through bruce wayne, not the psychological crutch he had created.
yeah i totally agree. the thing about the Nolan trilogy is that these movies rise above superhero movies. They actually are character driven dramas and have so much depth with fantastic performances from quality actors. i'm glad Nolan has made it so this trilogy is in it's own little bubble and can't be touched like what happened with Burton and Schumacher where Batman continued as the same Batman into Schumacher's Batman forever. This is for me the benchmark for what superhero movies can be - complex, layered, emotional and psychological. This is substance AND style. Snyder is once again heading down the Schumacher path where it's flashy, soulless crap with very little substance. BVS is clear evidence that we're going backwards again.
Christopher Nolan and Hans Zimmer know how to make an amazing emotional scene . the Music in his movies are so Important , without the Music this scene couldn't be so powerful .
Blackie Mesa I totally agree. I believe Hans Zimmer is the greatest score composer. Sure, others like John Williams have created some of the most iconic and recognizable themes in existence, but they can't really make you FEEL. when I watch movies scored by Hans Zimmer, especially The Dark Knight Rises, it is an emotional experience.
Dylan Freeman Not true, If you listen to every song from Star Wars Revenge of the Sith you will be amazed by how much emotion can be put into a soundtrack.
To be truth, the other superhero movies cant surpass the powerful emotion of this scene and the trilogy. No cape, no supernatural power, just an ordinary man trying to overcome his fear.
The lesson that Bruce learned here is that after years of successfully conquering fear (of bats, and especially scarecrow from the first movie) that has helped him for so long, it was the LACK of fear that (ironically) made him fail the jump. It was Bruce's mind and body's fear of death that made him successfully make the jump. A person's mind and body can do amazing things when they fear for their lives or a life of a loved one. At least that's what I think. Anyone agree?
Fear is a biological response to the body to alert yourself. Fear, like you said, and sometimes gives a man willpower for NOT wanting to die! Now since you said this though, this completely goes against what After Earth teaches you.
Everyone can relate to this scene. We are all trapped in a pit with all of our problems and our demons. But we must have hope and rise up like Batman, and rise out of the pit and become something greater 🦇
Every exam season, I come back to this one scene. The fear of failure, something that can be crippling or something that can be empowering, by cutting the rope and using it as a driving factor.
+Burl Farlington I agree...he already conquered his fear of bats- the bats were symbolic of his "rise", if you will. The fear of death, "this is why you fail"...by jumping without the rope, only death awaited him should he fail, hence the fear being reawakened in him.
i know this comment is old but nolan didnt want to do DC because he just dont like superhero movies. but he chose to do batman because batman is a hero with no powers and on the fact that he is probably one of most feared dc character even though he is human. so nolan felt like he can work with that.
If the old man said: "You should climb without the rope because fear will give you an extra adrenaline rush which could be enough for you to make it" how anticlimatic would it be?
Every time I have been in a bad moment, broken inside, fearing something, a test, exam, or violence in the streets... whatever, i just come to see this scene and lift me up. Have a good day for u that are reading this.

i remember watching this scene as i was going through depression and had suicidal thoughts. This scene helped be a LOT through those times and made me realize that I had to rise from the pit that i had created for myself.
M Abubakr Fayaz But you also got to consider that this is a standalone trilogy while the MCU is building a universe. Give credit where credit is due. The MCU is killing it with connecting a universe more than DC is doing but it’s a lot harder to create masterpieces when doing so that’s why this trilogy beats out most of the mcu movies.

A person once asked me whether I was a DC fan or a Marvel fan. I was in a dilemma. So I went home and thought about what Marvel and DC offers to the audience. Yes, Marvel makes movies which are financial and critical succeses, but for me, it all comes down to a moment or two in the movie when you get goosebumps like you've never had before, when in your mind you are chanting and cheering for the hero, and when you see the hero rise, and you get a burst of inspiration like never before. It is a feeling which is extraordinarily empowering. I never got any such feeling whatsoever watching an MCU movie. I've only experienced it in these movies and Man of Steel. So, yes I am a proud and loud DC fan. Always.

This trilogy is a timeless masterpiece.
Rope (safety/possibility of another chance) was actually weighing him down

Nero Caesar but the best part is that that's how batman is, he doesn't look for a thanks or for worship, he does this simp,y because he doesn't want another person to have to go what he went through
I like the tone that set by Christopher Nolan on this trilogy. When people always thought that superhero movies are always about those special power and fighting against evil forces, this trilogy shows something more than those. In simple term, this trilogy is one of the best trilogy I ever watched.
Watchmen's movie was pretty damn good too.
I read once from a google image that in Batman Rises they broke Bruce's mind, in The Dark Knight they broke his spirit and in The Dark Knight Rises they broke his body. Damn good trilogy if you ask me.
Ben aflecks trilogy I s gonna suck
Nicolás Rodríguez, I think you mean Batman Begins instead of Batman Rises :D
Yea, this trilogy has a special place in my heart for a superhero genre live-action movie~
+Supa Copper you're right. My bad, I meant Batman Begins
This scene speaks to everyone. At some point in your life you have to stop relying on your parents or whoever is supporting you at the time and just have to go thru life and its troubles by yourself.
But most specifically in this story I find it very well thought out that bruce waynes first fear..to fall in the well and cave full of bats would in the end be his biggest test to finally beat..without "the rope" " his father's help".
Yep I love this scene for a similar reason. We can all relate. When we find ourselves in our own inner prison there is only one escape. The scene shows that anger and not fearing death are 'young' emotions that do not display the maturity, patience and fear required to truly set yourself free. whether it is from parents, your current job situation, your current relationship, you need to slowly and carefully climb out of that hole. I find Bruce had to learn to respect his mortality, find humility by listening to the advice of others when he thought he knew better, go slow and steady even though his body wanted to attack fast and hard. so many lessons here!!!! and the chant they do when he is rising is great 😁
College
Not exactly. The point of this scene is: "You can't go all in and do your absolute best when in the back of your mind you know that there is a safety net and you can try again later".
+theo konstantellos the point of the scene is whatever people take and learn from it.
This scene alone is still more intense than the entire Avengers.

This is my favorite movie scene of all time. The prison sometimes is our own mind. The fear of not knowing if you're going to make it keeps you locked in that prison until you take a leap of faith. The inmates chanting rise is our self conscious digging deep and getting riled up to make the leap. When we preserver we feel ultimate victory and become stronger then we were before. Sometimes we need to be completely broken in order to be rebuilt even better. This scene is powerful metaphor for life and will stick with me forever.
I kind of know what you mean I fractured my back and I'm slowly building my body back, this scene is inspiring to me

My theater booed because we had to sit in the theater for 1 more hour of batman being batman doing batman things. The movie was way too long and overdrawn
Damn, after so many years I still get goosebumps now...every time I see it...the scene and music are so powerful
This scene means so much to me. Back in High School I was a wrestler and had wrestled for pretty much all my life and going into my senior year I got into an accident that broke my femur and I was unable to walk and finish out my senior year and that was the year college teams were getting an interest in me. But all that went away by one freak accident. I thought I wasn’t going to walk again and was in a pretty rough spot mentally and was suffering from depression and felt that my life was falling apart.
Right around the time this movie came out I went to see it with a friend of mine and after seeing Bruce go through a similar journey I did of being injured physically and mentally and overcoming it, it inspired me to never lose hope and to keep fighting. Believe it or not this scene helped me through a dark time in my life . Watching Bruce pull himself physically and mentally out of the a hole of darkness and depression and succeeding left such an impact on me that it motivated me enough to want to do the same.
After months of enduring physical therapy I was making significant progress of building back my muscle that I lost and not long after I was able to walk again. The doctors were so amazed at how well I recovered especially after telling me that it would be unlikely that I could walk again. Even though I couldn’t wrestle my senior year I still learned a lot from my experience. I owe a lot to this movie and especially this scene. This scene is one of the big reasons why Batman is my favorite comic character because he inspires us to never give up and be the best version of ourselves. Sorry for the long rant. Stay safe and blessed everyone and never give up…
That experience sowed the seeds of persistence in you. Later in life when thing become bad again, I pray you remember.
That is... An honest to God, amazing and inspiring story.
Your story really hit me because we have a lot in common and both went through some similar struggles. Your recovery is amazing but it’s only because you did it “without the rope”. Giving up wasn’t an option for you. You had no plan B, nothing to fall back on when things got hard, and made full recovery your only goal. Combined with some incredible will power and determination, it’s not surprising you accomplished what you set out to do. I know how difficult what you did was because I went through something similar. One thing I can guarantee is that we are both much stronger people for having experienced fighting up from rock bottom. I feel bad for people who have never had to deal with adversity in their lives because it truly does change you. It makes you more resilient, mentally stronger, develops your character and confidence, and instills in you a level of tenacity that most people don’t have. The little things that typically make people miserable isn’t going to even faze someone who has fought thru years of hell.
In college, I played baseball and wrestled. During the first wrestling practice of sophomore year, I felt a strange cramping in my stomach. I spent the next two years in constant pain that intensified whenever I ate. I was misdiagnosed by every doctor I saw and continued to wither away as I was only eating a bagel every day or two. I finally found a doctor who diagnosed me properly: Crohn’s Disease. I had surgery soon after.
The day I first felt that twinge in my stomach I was 6’, 175 pounds, benched 325, and looked like what most people would think of when you say athlete. The day of my surgery, I weighed 110 pounds. During surgery, they opened me up from the bottom of my abdomen to about 4 inches above my belly button. The incision (and the scar I have from it) was nearly 8 inches. My surgeon removed my intestines, put them on a table, and then cut off over three feet of intestine from several different places before sowing them back up and putting them back inside me. I was in the hospital for 10 days after surgery with a button that I could press for pain medication. I pressed that thing like I was a contestant on Jeopardy. I couldn’t walk for the first six days after surgery. On the seventh day, I tried to shower and I was so weak I couldn’t raise my arms high enough to wash my hair. When I finally got home, my parents asked me what I wanted to do now that I would eventually be somewhat normal again. I said I wanted to play ball again. They didn’t think it was likely, but encouraged me to try. That was May of 2001.
In the spring of 2002, after a year of recovery, physical therapy, and rebuilding my body, I stepped on a baseball field again for a semi-pro team. In my first at-bat, I doubled to dead center field. I could barely make it to second as I completely broke down. I finally got to second and looked at the dugout to see my best friend balling while the rest of my team screamed, some with tears in their eyes.
I played baseball from the age of 3 to 28 with a few lost years in the middle. I couldn’t tell you how many home runs I hit, what my batting average was, or any other stats, but I’ll never forget that double.
You and I both did it without the rope. We had no plan B. We were going to achieve what we set out to do or die trying. Without a plan B, when things get hard your only option is to keep fighting and keep moving forward. Failure is far more terrifying when you have no backup plan.
To anyone reading this, the best advice I can give you is if you really want something in life, pursue it “without the rope”. The fear of failure is incredibly powerful, especially when you have no plan B. Work hard, fight through all the adversity, and then make the jump without the rope. You’ll be amazed how often you end up on the other side.

It's kind of true. Because there is a comic in which Wonder woman uses her rope to determine the real identities of Superman and Batman. While Superman said Kal El, Batman said Batman, instead of Bruce Wayne.

The Pit is actually Nolan's interpretation of the Lazarus Pit. A grounded pit. Man, Christopher Nolan is a genius!
you can see M.C usher stairs at the bottom too. Its kinda Nolan's trademark as seen in inception and the Syncopy logo. Its supposed to represent his unique way of storytelling and creativity.
+TheDarkKnight666 It is. Bruce is spiritually dead and comes back to life. Ra's al Ghul even comes back to life inside it, in Bruce's mind.

Mike Holland Well that comment was unprompted.
I call em as I see em. I felt equally offended by every glowing review of that dog crap of a movie.
this scene is genuinely emotional, especially considering he was mentally and physically broken.
And still had to make the climb just to protect his city and to fulfill his promise.
This will always be one of the best motivational scenes ever made because it's the metaphorical pits life pushes us into, and we need to teach ourselves to make the climb. Without the rope.
Amen to that brother,i made plenty of climbs i thought i wasn't going to make it until i did.
hello there❤️
not enough people give this film an scene credit .if you care at all about bruce wayne then how can him making the jump not hit your feels hard...he made it he rose ..he was trapped in the well as a kid he climbed the mountain to get the flower ...he always climbs out
And then,fear will find us again
I love that they showed the old man’s reaction of disbelief when Bruce made the jump. You know he was thinking Bruce would leave them all there, but Bruce showed what a true leader does is lead others out of darkness as well, and showed that one can possess both remarkable strength and remarkable mercy.
Anyone else think the other old guy served as a backup Alfred? 😂
I do 😅
😂😂😂 you nailed it bro
Generic Alfred
I love it when he says "Ah supplies for your journey, that's wonderful, that's... that's..." it's like he's sad to see him leave because he knows he'll make it, so this is goodbye. He cared for Bruce. So yeah, backup Alfred is a good title.

@@kiranmaziz1990 The bats coming out is intentional by the director of the movie, symbolising something.
I don't know how but because people are afraid to jump without ropes, they failed to escape the pit

@@kiranmaziz1990 The bats represent Bruce Wayne's greatest fear. They served to remind him who he really is, and to use that fear in his favor. In this case, to find the strength to get out of that pit.
Like in real life, everyone of us has a fear of something, and in order for us to get out of that hopeless situation, we need to rely only on ourselves, and conquer that fear.

Bruce doesn't fear death at all. He fears dying while others suffer. To prove it he took the leap of faith without the rope
Actually, Bruce proved him wrong.
Varun Venkatasubramanian That's an incredible interpretation and one that I will definitely use. You have to be committed to what you want to do. I had a fencing competition today where I performed better than I ever have because I trained hard and used these videos to give me drive. I realized that before I was treating fencing as just a game where I shouldn't worry about getting hit and changed it to not wanting to get hit with every ounce of my being.

The most motivational scene in all superhero movie adaptations ever.

@@sovereignsupreme8203 need to agree with that
This is not just a scene for me.. its basically my life.. it’s always this part I come back to when I need to be picked up again. I’m 26 years old and this scene always brings tears to my eyes. Not only because Christian bale is one of my favourite actors and my favourite Batman and I’m a MASSIVE Batman fan(I have Batman memorabilia & other collectibles in my room) but mainly for his iron will and his dedication and never giving up. Seeing him stand up out of that pit rising like the warrior he is with Mr. Hans Zimmers music and the prisoners cheering is bloody amazing it gives me chills and its exactly how I felt. Being sick & dying in bed everyday first from destroying my body, and then being sick from healing it, as Batmans was until he was finally ready to make the climb and rise. I like to think that I myself conquered what I did and I also did rise again. I finally made my climb out of my prison of addiction. I’m no warrior but I battled drug addiction in my life and pretty much lost everything. After highschool, I went from an athlete, a competing promising kickboxer, a basketball player, to a junkie loser. No money no future no desire literally nothing. Couldn’t even save a dime. I was a walking corpse. Nobody wanted anything to do with me. I didn’t either. You can imagine I was called every name in the book and suicidal thoughts were nothing new to me anymore. Talking harshly to myself was nothing new to me anymore. I had a privileged life I had everything I ever wanted and I guess somewhere down the line I took advantage of it and abused it and I went from a good kid an athlete, to nothing. Just another junkie loser. Here I was hurting my loved ones but mainly myself the worst way possible. After battling pure hell somehow with the Grace of God one day at a time I’m now almost 3 years clean and sober and I have everything back in my life and more. My family. An amazing fiancé who knows everything about me and wants to be there for me through it all. And I can actually save money now which is a blessing to me like no other. I went to acting school for couple years and got an agent and became an actor so we’ll see what happens with that. It has become my passion. And I started a small carpentry business at home since Covid started. I love acting but If it doesn’t workout, I can atleast do the things that I want to do now in life and try. And not be trapped in my prison of addiction anymore.. Despite all that I still consider myself a junkie loser who hasn’t really done anything in his life. And I don’t feel like I’ll ever make my parents proud. Staring death in the face and fighting for my life and conquering it back from addiction I guess isn’t something this older generation of my Indo Canadian ppl think it’s anything to be proud of.. more like something to be ashamed of. I know I have to talk to myself kinder and that’s something I’m working on. But it’s hard when even now sometimes people who I don’t get along with that well try to judge you for your past mistakes. Using my past as a weapon. So I just stay away now as I can’t handle that kinda toxicity in my life. It hurts more and does more damage than most will know but it is what it is. Most importantly I just hope to make my family proud, mainly my fiancé and my parents who will hopefully be proud to call me her husband and their son one day. Thats all I really want. That’s all I hope for. Thank you for your time to read this. All the real ones struggling and fighting out there please keep going. One day at a time. You are a warrior like Batman! When he finally rises out of that pit it is exactly how I felt when I finally beat my addiction and saw the world with clear eyes again. I was rising again. To a better, wiser and stronger me. I made the climb. You Will Also Rise! God Bless You🙏🏼💪🏼🖤
Great words - I commend your spirit and self-reflection. While listening to the background video I always look for comments like this, where people tell their personal way out of the pit. As I can see you‘re also a Thommy Shelby fan?
I read it homie it caught my eye glad you made it bro you da goat🐐
Great job buddy.
I didn't expect I'd read the whole thing but I did because what you've written is moving.
So happy for you buddy and How can you see yourself as a loser?
Your current progress itself, might be the life goal for someone still dealing with addiction. You ALREADY are a winner my friend.
Thank you All❤️🙏🏼

Yes. It is possible to come back. I was driven to nearly committing suicide but I found a way back. Somehow I came back from the brink and yeah there are days it’s rough.

I think the only thing stopping Spider-man from lifting Thor's hammer is his restraint on killing, so the same would go for Batman, however that's the only thing stopping him from doing so.

This scene was perfection. The music choice, Bale's acting, the two older guys,the chanting, the cinematography, the bats etc. This scene still gives me goosebumps after all this time. The Dark Knight trilogy uses music better than almost any other movie i've seen. The emotion it stirs up is unparalleled.
Very true mate. So many films just make boring fan fair music scores, but I love a uplifting soundtrack, so when u walk out it's like Ur on cloud 9.
I watched this again now and it almost tears me up. What a beautiful emotion it transmits.
In Batman begins, Bruce understands, conquers and becomes his fear of bats.
In the Dark Knight, Bruce's greatest fear becomes a reality when he loses the woman he loves. He also no longer has any regard for his own life after his failure.
In the Dark Knight Rises, Bruce accepts his fear and understands that he needs it because it can give him strength to save Gotham.
This is literally a perfect character arc.

That's the beauty of it. It's not about the individual or the jump itself; it's about the lesson and the courage to re-mold oneself physically and mentally, through psychological reform. If the understanding is not there, then the undertaking of the jump is irrelevant. It's metaphorical. Him, you, or anyone, has to make the jump, otherwise you can't condemn your own convictions and triumph in whatever struggle is in front of you. Batman is great because the lessons in it apply universally.
That’s Nolan’s magic
Bruh
Oh me too
Well I mean didn’t he have to make it lol they wouldn’t finish the movie without him. Great scene for sure tho
"Why do we fall, Bruce?"
"What are they saying?
-'Rise'."
God dammit. This scene is so fucking cool.
This trilogy was perfect.
3:06 shoutout to the extras who played the hype crew, they killed it
3:15 leap of faith
God bless you Christopher Nolan, God bless you.
Hans Zimmer as well.
“Then make the climb. As the child did. Without the rope. Then fear will find you again.” God fucking damn god bless whoever wrote this masterpiece.
Nolan wanted to show that even without the weapons and suit ,bruce wayne is a hero
This gives me goosebumps everytime. The chanting and Zimmer's music work so well together.
Me too
This scene show what this is truly about. It's a Bruce Wayne trilogy.
Not a Batman trilogy.
yeah..
No, it's about a symbol. You didn't understand the real meaning of this scene.
Firstly, the meaning is kind of subjective. Secondly, I feel like its more than even that. This scene shows Bruce finally becoming the Dark Knight again and rising from the pit he was thrown in. Even at the beginning when he was Batman he really hadn't completely come back. This scene is the completion of his character arc and the true return of the Batman.
true
silver6kraid I think its the opposite actually. I think the point of showing bruce climb out symbolizes that he has freed himself from the reliance of the bat persona. He can now act through bruce wayne, not the psychological crutch he had created.
I remember watching this in IMAX, the whole theater went nuts with this scene. The clapping was so loud the whole place was shaking.
That's fucking amazing.
No. The clapping did not shake the theater, you moronic slob. :'D It was the sound system.
CooManTunes what’s ur problem? Feel like being an asshole to everyone?
Me too I don't go to the movies but I saw this 3 times in the theater and i jumped up when he made the climb
@cooManTunes No shit, it’s called exaggeration
Nolan's batman is about the strength of character...
yeah i totally agree. the thing about the Nolan trilogy is that these movies rise above superhero movies. They actually are character driven dramas and have so much depth with fantastic performances from quality actors. i'm glad Nolan has made it so this trilogy is in it's own little bubble and can't be touched like what happened with Burton and Schumacher where Batman continued as the same Batman into Schumacher's Batman forever. This is for me the benchmark for what superhero movies can be - complex, layered, emotional and psychological. This is substance AND style. Snyder is once again heading down the Schumacher path where it's flashy, soulless crap with very little substance. BVS is clear evidence that we're going backwards again.
You are so right.Nolan's trilogy connects with a common man's soul.
+rochey1010 I couldn't have said that better
it perfectly blended respect to the comic's morals of the characters and the storylines, while blending and adapting them perfectly into realism.
Snyder's Batman is not Batman. This is the real Batman.
over 10 years but still this scene never fails to give goosebumps😱
Conclusion .... Christopher Nolan is a genius.
Yes
And hans zimmer too
Christopher Nolan and Hans Zimmer know how to make an amazing emotional scene . the Music in his movies are so Important , without the Music this scene couldn't be so powerful .
Blackie Mesa I totally agree. I believe Hans Zimmer is the greatest score composer. Sure, others like John Williams have created some of the most iconic and recognizable themes in existence, but they can't really make you FEEL. when I watch movies scored by Hans Zimmer, especially The Dark Knight Rises, it is an emotional experience.
Absolutely
Blackie Mesa isn't Hans Zimmer the Men's Wearhouse guy that guarantees you'll like his suits? Pretty well-rounded and talented guy, apparently.
Dylan Freeman
Not true, If you listen to every song from Star Wars Revenge of the Sith you will be amazed by how much emotion can be put into a soundtrack.
HoyaSaxaSD no
Crowd: "fishy, fishy, Pasta, pasta"
Bruce: "what does it mean?"
Guy: "Rice"
Deshay basara
Que que pasa! Pasa! Que que pasa! Pasa!
I wish I could unsee your comment because you ruined this scene for me
@JPLift 😂😂😂😂
To be truth, the other superhero movies cant surpass the powerful emotion of this scene and the trilogy.
No cape, no supernatural power, just an ordinary man trying to overcome his fear.
I’m pretty sure batman has a cape man.
he is not just ordinary, he has wealth superpowrr
For both of the doofus's above me, the original commentor is referring just to this scene.
The lesson that Bruce learned here is that after years of successfully conquering fear (of bats, and especially scarecrow from the first movie) that has helped him for so long, it was the LACK of fear that (ironically) made him fail the jump. It was Bruce's mind and body's fear of death that made him successfully make the jump. A person's mind and body can do amazing things when they fear for their lives or a life of a loved one. At least that's what I think. Anyone agree?
It is a complicated state of mentality. But it's neccessary to truly be Batman.
I agree. Good explanation.
adrenaline
Liquid strength.
Fear is a biological response to the body to alert yourself. Fear, like you said, and sometimes gives a man willpower for NOT wanting to die!
Now since you said this though, this completely goes against what After Earth teaches you.
Everyone can relate to this scene. We are all trapped in a pit with all of our problems and our demons. But we must have hope and rise up like Batman, and rise out of the pit and become something greater 🦇
Kevin Garcia ...without the rope
Daniel Alejandro RISE
I think there's a rope in my basement so I don't need to worry about any pits
Simon
Q demonios tienes
This is actually one of my favorite scenes ever I don't think people understand how epic this really is
SpaceRanger97 people understand very well
This scene speaks to me.about my life
^^^
THIS IS my favorite scene of all time
It's just SO well made. The acting, the camera, the editing, the MUSIC! It's damn PERFECT.
Every exam season, I come back to this one scene. The fear of failure, something that can be crippling or something that can be empowering, by cutting the rope and using it as a driving factor.
This scene would be nowhere as powerful without the score.
Ayden McGee that’s actually true of a lot of movie scenes.
@@omieg89 Interstellar docking scene..
i mean that goes without saying for literally any movie there has ever been
Hanz Zimmer, completed Christopher nolan's movies.
Ayden McGee Hans Zimmer is brilliant
I love the expression on the blind man's face when he hears the cheers.
Oh yes.....the pure joy and hope in his face is palpable....
No I'm not afraid... I'm angry
@comment hater so what should we do?
@comment hater all hail The Arkham Knight who will kill The legend,The myth, The Dark Knight in the coming soon The Dark Knight Unleashed
Batman: I'm not afraid. ..I'm angry .
other guy:why crunchcrunch gulp ?
batman: because you took all my chips and drink...😎😎😎
That was so badass
Yet Fear was what he needed.
If you don't get the symbolism and deeper meaning of this scene. You just ain't ready.
"Then fear will find you again."
2:53 - He's afraid of bats...the fear is back. Nolan is a genius director.
+Simon Stock he is afraid of bats? still? he embraced his fear and is no longer afraid of them.
+Burl Farlington Fear can never be conquered upon. There's still a little amount of it deep down.
+Burl Farlington I agree...he already conquered his fear of bats- the bats were symbolic of his "rise", if you will. The fear of death, "this is why you fail"...by jumping without the rope, only death awaited him should he fail, hence the fear being reawakened in him.
+uglyamericano All I meant by it was that it is terrific imagery. Not necessarily a literal thing.
@@uglyamericanogreat catch
When you suffer a depression, and you have to fight with it
Adri exactly prison symbolizes my anxiety
Any other good scenes you can think of to symbolize anxiety? There was the bat cave one
True
Yep
When you associate everything only to overuse a dead meme.
Only Christopher Nolan can make a man climbing out of a hole EPIC! Zack Snyder take notes
Nolan+ Zimmer
Christopher Dixon I really wish Nolan established a superpowers universe, instead a real world universe
+Brandon Coomar yeah it def would've opened the door to more ideas. Ben Afflecks batman is def in that type of universe though
i know this comment is old but nolan didnt want to do DC because he just dont like superhero movies. but he chose to do batman because batman is a hero with no powers and on the fact that he is probably one of most feared dc character even though he is human. so nolan felt like he can work with that.
well at least zack Snyder knows how to choreograph a real batman fight scene
Goosebumps one of the most powerful scenes from history of cinema.
there will never be such a batman movie again
This is why future Batman movies will never reach Bale's trilogy. Too much emotion in this trilogy.
+100spurs Different takes on Batman, just as different writers had different takes on Batman in the comics.
best batman ever..
This trilogy brought pure emotion and an amazing story and Christian Bale and everyone in that trilogy were absolutely tremendous
not just best Batman it's the best superhero movie ever
- "Then make the climb ..."
- "How?
- "As the child did... without the rope !!! ... "
he needs the fear of death, the high stakes (not having the rope) to propel him to make the jump. genius story telling fr
Col. Nugget fr man the dialogue in this scene is so intense
The music and crowd makes this perfect.
Also the old man hanging on to that bar for dear life praying that bruce makes it
If the old man said: "You should climb without the rope because fear will give you an extra adrenaline rush which could be enough for you to make it" how anticlimatic would it be?
Hahaha!!! True
theo konstantellos That wouldn't capture his full message either way.
Every time I have been in a bad moment, broken inside, fearing something, a test, exam, or violence in the streets... whatever, i just come to see this scene and lift me up. Have a good day for u that are reading this.
cheers bro
I still fucked up and watching It fighting for change the shit life in got in...
Use the fear of death and failure to fight harder.
how can a man be brave if he's afraid
that is the only time a man can be brave - Ned Stark
"Epinephrine" makes you stronger and faster in a little time but it costs your body alot of energy ..a dog chased me when I was a kid and I remember that I broke all of my running speed records till now..and I don't think that I can run faster than that untill i get ..you know..frightening stuff☻
Courage is when you are afraid, but you do what you must anyways.
I remember the part where he climbs the wall from watching in the cinema. Hearing that music all around my head, loudly, was one of the best moments of my life. One of the moments I don´t regret at all.
i remember watching this scene as i was going through depression and had suicidal thoughts. This scene helped be a LOT through those times and made me realize that I had to rise from the pit that i had created for myself.
Yes. This scene is very motivational
Amen brother
This trilogy is still hundred times better than anything Marvel came up with!
M Abubakr Fayaz But you also got to consider that this is a standalone trilogy while the MCU is building a universe. Give credit where credit is due. The MCU is killing it with connecting a universe more than DC is doing but it’s a lot harder to create masterpieces when doing so that’s why this trilogy beats out most of the mcu movies.
@@smghero585 I never felt any emotion watching marvel movies aside from "hahaha le cool quirky joke xD" like I felt watching this movie in the theater , Marvel is for bugmen lad
Fernando Garcia I felt emotion in some of the movies but as I said that when you are making a connected universe it gets hard to do so.
@Chestor Hamilton then what are you doing here bullying others and showing off? Shouldn't you work in some big studio writing scripts for movies?
@Chestor Hamilton shouldn't you get your facts right and actually check whether I shit posted against DC or not? I equally love both the universes and you are the one who is shit posting against Marvel. So stfu and go and knit cat sweaters
A person once asked me whether I was a DC fan or a Marvel fan. I was in a dilemma. So I went home and thought about what Marvel and DC offers to the audience. Yes, Marvel makes movies which are financial and critical succeses, but for me, it all comes down to a moment or two in the movie when you get goosebumps like you've never had before, when in your mind you are chanting and cheering for the hero, and when you see the hero rise, and you get a burst of inspiration like never before. It is a feeling which is extraordinarily empowering. I never got any such feeling whatsoever watching an MCU movie. I've only experienced it in these movies and Man of Steel. So, yes I am a proud and loud DC fan. Always.
thats so f**king Relatable
Batman > MCU.
Your words as I read them and the music paired with prisoners chanting brought tears to my eyes, because it’s an absolute irrevocable truth!
I still thinks marvel movies are much better but these Batman movies destroy any other movies made from both companies
@@imperfect_dan7519 Have you seen IW? Or End Game?.. If you haven't then you should. There are layers upon layers of character development there. But 2 scenes especially define the story arc for us die hard comic fans
Let's be honest this is not your first nor your last time here
And I feel no shame in that!!
I've watched this scene about a billion times. Christopher Nolan is f*cking Brilliant!!
That moment when bats appear is when the spirit of the Batman comes back. What a poetic moment !
Cheesy moment
This video is about me finally quitting my dead end job.

I'm in the military serving at special forces and every time I'm going through a tough school and training and feel like giving up this scene always comes to my mind giving me the strength to continue. One of the best scenes in cinema ever.
For sure
