If it were in a snyder movie people would go all crazy talking about how it's genius symbolism and stuff. He is good at it but not the only director to do so and definitely not the only director to do it effectively
@@gopalakrishna2966 my problem is... Snyder does it "BEST DIRECTOR OF ALL TIME" "underated" etc... another director with a better script does it and nothing... My problem is when people say snyder is better then nolan when come on.. he's definitely not.. he may be good in his own right but that's it....
"The city needs Bruce Wayne, your resources, your knowledge..." Alfred is so right. Imagne all the good he could have done in those 8 years if he had just been Bruce Wayne...
Maybe...but given it's track record in these films, Gotham City and it's citizens would have found some way to wreck any good he would have done with his skills, rescources and such before banes takeover, just like they did when they thought cowtowing to the Joker and his demands was the right thing to do and blamed batman for it all when that didnt work and things got worse...in spite of the fact they'd all be dead if he didnt stop Ra's Al Ghul. . The siege of Gotham, terrible as it was, it was the smack upside the head gotham deserved. To be honest, like how Batman didnt fully understand The Joker, Alfred doesnt fully understand Gotham's sickness.
josend Nah, his parents tried to do the same thing, and they were killed for it. Bruce realized the city was too corrupt to fix anything through legal means, so he became a force that could act outside of the law and get the ball moving in the right direction. Criminals began to run scared, and it inspired people like Harvey Dent to fix Gotham within the system, rooting out the corruption that had plagued the city for generations.
Bruce’s parents did way more for the city long-term than Bruce did. Most of Batman’s problems are created by his own actions. The Joker came to power because the Gangs were scared and angry that they couldn’t do business normally. Talia attacked Gotham because he killed Ra’s. The only thing he didn’t cause was Ra’s Alghoul’s attack in the first one. That’s the one time in these movies where Batman does net good. And even then most of that good came from his knowledge and resources, which allowed him to produce a cure for the fear toxin. Gotham does need Batman, but only when things get really bad, like Ra’s Alghoul bad. Because beating up mafia bosses and corrupt cops doesn’t actually solve anything. Creating jobs by expanding his businesses, providing tuition for the underprivileged (hell, he could start a university), and a bunch of other practical things help way more. They reduce crime by reducing the need for crime. Most criminals are poor people resorting to doing bad things to survive. The mafia goons, the n muggers, the pickpockets can all be stopped by Bruce Wayne. Batman only needs to come out for the true psychos.
I loved how this trilogy showed the toll that being Batman would take on a persons body. People don't really think much of it but Batman is just human, he heals at a normal rate, he gets shot, breaks a bone, he's in trouble. Fucking love this trilogy!
So realistic take on Batman, within the fiction of it all. I rewatch the trilogy yearly and it usually comes around this time of the year. I am all pumped up for it!
He’s metahuman but still prone to injury, in the comics bullets are slow to him bro. He hits a little less harder then deathstroke, but witrh gauntlets Batman can hurt deathstroke pretty bad
Love how Alfred says "sometimes, a man rises from the darkness...sometimes, the pit...sends something back" and you see Batman's suit coming out of the ground when he says "rises" and it opens after he says "sends something back" Perfect foreshadowing of Bruce rising out of the pit
0:44 love the metaphorical irony there. Double entendre. "Sometimes a man rises from the darkness." As the suit rises from the darkness, symbolizing the rising of the Batman from the darkness
I loved the foreshadowing of Bruce strapping up his leg and Alfred asking "is it painful?" and then later bane says "Your punishment must be more severe....."
Wolfoe 3604 I agree 100% in the Nolan series we barely see Alfred help Batman in the field but at the same time I think the relationship between Bruce and Alfred is the best of any ever put to screen (or gaming)
"Sometimes, a man rises from the Darkness...sometimes the pit sends something back". Bane never made the climb either, little did Alfred know that he was actually describing a future Bruce Wayne who would himself rise out of the darkness to become one of the greatest legends of all....
@@GeorgieSoldado What psychologist Sigmund Freud calls the "death drive" inherent in all human beings. Batman has an extremely high death drive because of the pain he suffered from his parents death. It's like he unconsciously wants to die but won't just outright commit suicide. So he'll live the most dangerous life he could possibly live to fight crime and take revenge on the kind of people who took his happiness away, and if he dies then he dies... no big deal since his life is miserable now anyways.
I loved this version of Alfred. His past comes out now and again revealing how knowledgeable and badass he was in the past before joining the Wayne family.
The dialogues between aflred and bruce in this movie and alfred crying and apologizing at bruce's graveyard in the end of the movie just made this movie phenomenal.
Who needs Google when you've got Alfred? The man is so much more than just a "butler", he is a walking encyclopedia of knowledge and life experience who always gives out lots of important lessons to Bruce. Michael Caine truly was the glue that held The Dark Knight Trilogy together and all of his scenes were always gold.
People rightfully praise Ledger as Joker but Bale and Caine as Batman and Alfred with their chemistry made the trilogy for me. And Caine Alfred is also willing to do things that Batman doesn't want him too if he thinks it's in his best interests. The final closing scene at the cafe was the best way to finish this trilogy.
Just wanna say that, as someone who has BEEN in his position, I know how good Bruce felt when he realized that he can finally WALK again. For someone as active as he was, as ATHLETIC, I can understand how being seriously injured to the point where you LOSE your athleticism can affect one's mind.
I always liked the expression Alfred makes at 0:25. It's like he instantly realizes that Bruce is serious, and tries to come up with a reason to talk Bruce out of going back out there.
The character of Alfred is so masterfully written throughout the three movies. Michael Caine is excellent, of course. But the character itself has so much depth compared to other Batman mediums. His loyalty to Bruce is seemingly limitless... until the Dark Knight Rises. It's there that we learn that Alfred cannot stand by and watch Bruce embrace death. He's watching Bruce embark on what he views as a suicide mission, and he can't be a part of that. That's why the Italian cafe scene at the end is so powerful. Alfred can rest now knowing that Bruce is no longer Batman.
"A long time ago, I was in Burma. My friends and I were working for the local government." Alfred probably has the know-how and contacts to find out about someone like Bane.
You can actually see Chris Nolan's directorial skills improve throughout this trilogy. Was watching the three movies back-to-back, and you can now see a consistency in his skill between Inception, TDKR, and Interstellar.
Man Michael Caine is the perfect Alfred. His acting is amazing in all three movies, and he is the warm, loving, wise and extremely motivating anchor to Bruce.
Hard disagree. Cain's Alfred all he did was complain about Bruce being batman even left him in this movie the real Alfred would nvr leave Bruce high and dry
@@mikea2410 That's completely wrong. Alfred supported Bruce Wayne in the first two films a lot. He didn't complain about Bruce being Batman, after all he was the guy who helped Bruce build the suit, etc. Hell, he was the most supportive person to Bruce ever. But, in this film, the reason why he is "complaining" is because he is worried about him, it's been 8 years since Bruce has been Batman, 8 years since he has done any sort of physical activity, he's scared that Bruce would go out with no preparation to take down Bane, and after everything they have heard about Bane, how strong he is, Alfred is worried he would have to bury another person from the Wayne family.
@@rohanprasad4845 dude watch all three films again I can literally say all of Cain's lines in all three films where he complains and it's alot. First film he complains about Bruce driving the bat tank on the highway to get Rachael s cure. When Bruce ask him to make the guest leave at his birthday party he once again complains about howheneeds to hold up the famiky name. He tries comparing him to his dad but Bruce shutsit down film two he gets sassy when Bruce says batman has no limits. Then we know what happens in film three he leaves him. And cry's at the graves because he thinks he failed them in witch he did because he straight up left Bruce also kept Rachels letter from him for 8 years made him feel lonely thinking Rachael was going to be with him before joker killed her. Yes this Alfred was the worst out off all aflreds so far
While the Origins Batcave’s layout, from the stairs to the batcomputer’s arrangement, seemed to be influenced by the Burton movies. The waterfall was definitely from the TDK trilogy.
Yeah I was pretty badass then...if I had fought Bane then, I pretty much would've destroyed him. Eight years of sitting around screws your body up you know?
tdkfangirl CIA knew about Bane we see that in the beginning of the movie (Plane heist scene) so why wouldn't the worlds greatest detective and his (ex-army) butler also know about him? So here are two ways: Alfred probably could know about Bane: 1. Alfred had contacts from his army-time. 2. He hacked CIA and found the info about Bane. Pick whatever you like the most. I'm sorry, but sometimes these questions answers themselves if you just pay alittle attention. ;-)
1:54 that single statement completely explains the self sabotaging nature of depressed people and how it affects the people around them. Makes me too emotional.
After watching this movie multiple times, I thought I watched enough of this movie to know everything about it. Now while watching this video from a random recommendation I realised something.....when Alfred say 'Sometimes a man rises from the darkness', that's exactly when the suit emerges from beneath. This is a subtle foreshadowing of the events in the movie. When Bruce Wayne dons the batsuit for the first time in 8 years, its Bruce Wayne that's going out there to fight crime. He is the same depressed Bruce Wayne, that had a gun on him when he went to confront Joe Chill's hearing. He is broken, afraid, reckless and he has lost his sense of purpose. Only when he is thrown into the pit and made to suffer, he is able to find his real strength, which is his indomitable spirit, embrace his fear and is able to climb out of the pit. The bats flying out of the walls just as he is bale to make the jump signifies this. That is when Batman rises for one last time to save his city once and for all. Hence, the title, ' The Dark Knight Rises'.
Gotta love how Alfred sometimes spoke way too poetically about real issues often requiring a direct and to-the-point explanation. It’s actually quite refreshing to see a supporting character who likes to provide euphemistic context like this. “But sometimes, a man rises from the Darkness... Sometimes, the pit... sends something back,” and “And anyone who’s too extreme for Ra’s Al Ghul, is a man not to be trifled with.” I mean, DAYUMN, Alfred! That’s all so ominously poetic, and gives me an emotional context to the problem that Bane poses!
0:23 to 0:25 - you can see the fear in Alfred's face as he knows what road Bruce is looking like he's going to go down again - but, very reluctantly, he knows he has to accept his decision and can't force him to change his mind either way
Loved Michael Caine's Alfred. He had the perfect blend of a moral parental figure combined with witty sense of humour, just like how Bale nailed the balance between the characters of Bruce Wayne and Batman
I love the way when Alfred says, "But sometimes, a man rises from the darkness" and you get the shot of the suit coming up, almost foreshadowing that Bruce himself rises from the pit.
Hans Zimmer’s soundtrack in the background of this scene, is so well done. It perfectly fits the scene and the eerie darkness of the storytelling, whilst at the same time also promoting Bruce’s determination to return to Gotham as The Dark Knight. His duty, to save the city.. No matter the cost.
Bruce :" You are afraid , that if I go back there , I will fail" Alfred : "No...I am afraid that you want to" Alfred knew that deep down Bruce felt somehow responsible for Rachel's death and that he was not longer afraid of dying . In fact when they fought for the first time Bane said to Batman : "Victory has defeated you".
What could Bruce Wayne have done as Bane took over Gotham? I can see where Alfred is coming from about Bruce needing to move away from Batman. He can't be Batman forever. I get that. But Gotham needed Batman to take on Bane & his Army. Batman is brutal but he is inspiring to the ordinary citizen because he takes the battle to the villains. He gives the people a symbol to rally around, to believe in. Look at the kids, some of the cops throughout this film. The minute things go south after 8 years of manufactured peace due to Dent's persona being full of propaganda, there is no resistance to Bane's rise bar Batman. When out of Gotham in the ancient prison, the city is helpless. There is no way Bane's threat & plan can be countered by Bruce Wayne the civilian making technological & infrastructure improvements to Gotham. And ironically, it's Bruce funding technological innovation that led to a villain weaponizing a Wayne Industries project.
this kind of scenes is what makes you understand why Nolan's trilogy is in another level. i like every iteration of Batman in cinema, but The Dark Knight Trilogy is just unbelievably good.
Alfred: "But sometimes a man rises from the darkness. Sometimes the pit sends something back." And then, the bat suit rises from the ground. Superb writing.
Batman vs Owlman: O: “You’re like me. We’ve both looked into the abyss.” B: “Your right, we both looked into the abyss. But when you looked…you blinked.”
Dark Knight & Dark Knight Rises are just top notch movies if you forget about them and rewatch them again. You see all these little nuances and things you didn’t notice in your last watch.
Michael Caine has this ability to tell a story and make me want to listen. Most of the time, I start to tense up because it usually sounds lame when other actors tell a story.
Nolan is mastermind to pick the actors as character wise , initially he choose cillian Murphy for batman but changed his decision and give him scarecrow role undoubtedly he done perfectly😎😎😎
What I want to know is this: The Dark Knight Trilogy was beloved by all, and Batman didn't kill in it (not on purpose at least). 'Man of Steel' suffered a massive fan backlash because Superman killed one guy. So what do Zack Snyder and the other people working on 'Batman V Superman' decide to do? Have Batman kill fucking EVERYONE!
The scene where Batman goes to save Martha Kent makes up for everything. It was the best bat-fight in any movie, ever. If you notice at the end, he didn't adapt his creed not to kill until after he felt he'd failed Superman (hence, the branding of the wall in Luthor's cell instead of Luthor, indicating he was changing his ways to be less brutal). I like that Batman and Superman were killers in these movies. I get that people expect them to be the same characters, but they've been the exact same characters for 50 years a piece. Let somebody come out with a darker take on them just for the sake of "what if Batman was a killer?"
The symbolism here is so subtly loud that sometimes it gets completely ignored and sometimes you just are awe of it ! Nolan is just another level ! Instance bat suit rises up with dialogue that pit throws something back !!

As a fan of Batman since I was child and born in 1985, this Bruce Wayne and Batman trilogy is everything and more I ever hoped for. Thank you!
0:45 I see where Arkham Origins got the "Batsuit shelf coming out of the ground" from
***** yeah but it's obvious that Origins was heavily inspired by this movie what with Batman's redesign, Bane looking more militaristic, etc..
While the Origins Batcave’s layout, from the stairs to the batcomputer’s arrangement, seemed to be influenced by the Burton movies. The waterfall was definitely from the TDK trilogy.
justinjacquez766 I literally thought the same thing!😄😂
I'm not playing games Slade.
all the arkham games borrow ideas from the movies
Yeah I was pretty badass then...if I had fought Bane then, I pretty much would've destroyed him. Eight years of sitting around screws your body up you know?
Bruce Wayne lol
That’s because you took the blame for Harvey dent’s crimes that he committed and didn’t go back during 8 years
@@MrStevenstacy he could've still kept his body in shape
Jahmel Brewster depression can do dangerous things to you man
@@MrStevenstacy correct, but I still think he should've trained some more before going back into the field cause we all saw how that ended
Michael Caine as Alfred build so much of the emotional stakes in this movie
0:39 “Where men are thrown.. to suffahh “
"And doye"
God! I nearly cry about how much I love these films!
Definite signs of "The Dark Knight Returns" in this film, and that is no bad thing.
CinemaShredder "If it's suicide you're after, I have an old family recipe."
+CountArtha Funny, that was almost quoted in the recent Batman v Superman trailer
CinemaShredder who said it was a bad thing?
@@batnick7230 You don't get it.
It's like a mix of Dark Knight Returns and Batman: Knightfall.
How does Alfred know about Bane? Did he Google him or something?
tdkfangirl He followed him on Twitter.
tdkfangirl CIA knew about Bane we see that in the beginning of the movie (Plane heist scene) so why wouldn't the worlds greatest detective and his (ex-army) butler also know about him? So here are two ways: Alfred probably could know about Bane: 1. Alfred had contacts from his army-time. 2. He hacked CIA and found the info about Bane. Pick whatever you like the most.
I'm sorry, but sometimes these questions answers themselves if you just pay alittle attention. ;-)
Det ErMig
Damn, must have missed the part where Alfred was a hacker lol. Guess I'll have to pay more attention next time.
tdkfangirl It would save you for alot of questions, yes.
+Callutts Alfred was a SAS, not a hacker. SAS's usually are trained to be comfortable with anything.
1:54 that single statement completely explains the self sabotaging nature of depressed people and how it affects the people around them. Makes me too emotional.
That's why it's called depression and why it's hard to treat.
After watching this movie multiple times, I thought I watched enough of this movie to know everything about it. Now while watching this video from a random recommendation I realised something.....when Alfred say 'Sometimes a man rises from the darkness', that's exactly when the suit emerges from beneath. This is a subtle foreshadowing of the events in the movie. When Bruce Wayne dons the batsuit for the first time in 8 years, its Bruce Wayne that's going out there to fight crime. He is the same depressed Bruce Wayne, that had a gun on him when he went to confront Joe Chill's hearing. He is broken, afraid, reckless and he has lost his sense of purpose.
Only when he is thrown into the pit and made to suffer, he is able to find his real strength, which is his indomitable spirit, embrace his fear and is able to climb out of the pit. The bats flying out of the walls just as he is bale to make the jump signifies this. That is when Batman rises for one last time to save his city once and for all. Hence, the title, ' The Dark Knight Rises'.
Best Batman ever
Alfred: "Sometimes a man rises from the darkness"
*Batman suit rises up*
Imagery!
“Is it really painful”
“Well your very welcome to try it Alfred”
😂😂
Happy watching thank you sir
The soundtrack of the Dark Knight Trilogy is magnificent and just perfect.
Yeaaa
Some people just dont know how badass Bruce Wayne is
"sometime ...the pit sends something back"
I love all of the meanings in Alfreds line "Sometimes a man rises, from the darkness" as the Batsuit rises up.
Gotta love how Alfred sometimes spoke way too poetically about real issues often requiring a direct and to-the-point explanation. It’s actually quite refreshing to see a supporting character who likes to provide euphemistic context like this. “But sometimes, a man rises from the Darkness... Sometimes, the pit... sends something back,” and “And anyone who’s too extreme for Ra’s Al Ghul, is a man not to be trifled with.” I mean, DAYUMN, Alfred! That’s all so ominously poetic, and gives me an emotional context to the problem that Bane poses!
Brits are the masters of understatement.
Man!! Its 2024 and this scene still gives me chills❤
That's So True!!!!
0:23 to 0:25 - you can see the fear in Alfred's face as he knows what road Bruce is looking like he's going to go down again - but, very reluctantly, he knows he has to accept his decision and can't force him to change his mind either way
*Leg cracked sounds*
Alfred:is it really painful?
Bruce:youre very welcome to try it Alfred...
Loved Michael Caine's Alfred. He had the perfect blend of a moral parental figure combined with witty sense of humour, just like how Bale nailed the balance between the characters of Bruce Wayne and Batman
1:13. His face is so handsome
Yeah Michael Caine is handsome
Bruh, but he looking skinny and worse jawline like a joker to me😢
I love the way when Alfred says, "But sometimes, a man rises from the darkness" and you get the shot of the suit coming up, almost foreshadowing that Bruce himself rises from the pit.
Hans Zimmer’s soundtrack in the background of this scene, is so well done. It perfectly fits the scene and the eerie darkness of the storytelling, whilst at the same time also promoting Bruce’s determination to return to Gotham as The Dark Knight. His duty, to save the city.. No matter the cost.
alfred really cares for bruce
I love TDK trilogy
Bruce :" You are afraid , that if I go back there , I will fail"
Alfred : "No...I am afraid that you want to"
Alfred knew that deep down Bruce felt somehow responsible for Rachel's death and that he was not longer afraid of dying . In fact when they fought for the first time Bane said to Batman : "Victory has defeated you".
Which is why Bane chose to break the Bat rather than kill him out right.
Btw : how does Alfred know about the pit in a far remote place ? did He just check it on Wikipedia? 🤣🤣🤣
Man. The music is so good in this trilogy.
Can we take a second to appreciate the soundtrack? Amazing!
What could Bruce Wayne have done as Bane took over Gotham? I can see where Alfred is coming from about Bruce needing to move away from Batman. He can't be Batman forever. I get that. But Gotham needed Batman to take on Bane & his Army. Batman is brutal but he is inspiring to the ordinary citizen because he takes the battle to the villains. He gives the people a symbol to rally around, to believe in. Look at the kids, some of the cops throughout this film. The minute things go south after 8 years of manufactured peace due to Dent's persona being full of propaganda, there is no resistance to Bane's rise bar Batman. When out of Gotham in the ancient prison, the city is helpless. There is no way Bane's threat & plan can be countered by Bruce Wayne the civilian making technological & infrastructure improvements to Gotham. And ironically, it's Bruce funding technological innovation that led to a villain weaponizing a Wayne Industries project.
This was the best DC trilogy ever. No doubt.
the 3 best dc movies and the last 3 dc movies before that hack drove into the ground,
best trilogy ever.
Alfred hasn't aged since bruce was a kid till this moment
this kind of scenes is what makes you understand why Nolan's trilogy is in another level.
i like every iteration of Batman in cinema, but The Dark Knight Trilogy is just unbelievably good.
Alfred: "But sometimes a man rises from the darkness. Sometimes the pit sends something back." And then, the bat suit rises from the ground. Superb writing.
The chemistry in this scene between Caine and Bale is amazing. The whole series to be honest
Black Orchid : You exude pain. Your life is a patchwork of blackness with no time for joy. How do you cope with it?
Batman : I have a butler.
Batman vs Owlman:
O: “You’re like me. We’ve both looked into the abyss.”
B: “Your right, we both looked into the abyss. But when you looked…you blinked.”
This video is now eight years old showed on my recommendation, coincidence?
Dark Knight & Dark Knight Rises are just top notch movies if you forget about them and rewatch them again.
You see all these little nuances and things you didn’t notice in your last watch.
And Batman Begins too
Michael Caine has this ability to tell a story and make me want to listen. Most of the time, I start to tense up because it usually sounds lame when other actors tell a story.
0:24 dat face you make when you just swept the floor but someone makes a fucking mess again
Michael Caine's delivery here is epic. "Sometimes...the pit sends something back...."
"I Have No Wish To Fill My Few Remaining Years Grieving For The Loss Of Old Friends Or Their Sons."
0:44 best foreshadowing ever
The best batman ever !!
Hit like if you are Christian bale fan !!
Nolan is mastermind to pick the actors as character wise , initially he choose cillian Murphy for batman but changed his decision and give him scarecrow role undoubtedly he done perfectly😎😎😎
Smart going to hospital to have an alibi that secures his secret identity
These two gave us some masterclass acting stuff. Incredible actors. I Miss them together so much.
"A pit, where men are thrown to suffa, and doy!"
When Alfred said "but sometimes a man rises from the darkness"
We see the batsuit rises
Caine made this whole series a legendary trilogy
This is our legend christian bale who if Didn't accepted the act of bruce wayne Well batman movie Didn't existed what a legend❤️😭
best and perfect man for batman .. miss you all the time
Batman going all "Mad Max" with that knee brace!
Wtf was Synder thinking going against this masterpiece? He committed career suicide more or less!
What I want to know is this:
The Dark Knight Trilogy was beloved by all, and Batman didn't kill in it (not on purpose at least).
'Man of Steel' suffered a massive fan backlash because Superman killed one guy.
So what do Zack Snyder and the other people working on 'Batman V Superman' decide to do? Have Batman kill fucking EVERYONE!
+Cybermat47 he does kill in the movie! 😂😂😂
Batman v Superman was a great film but Christian Bales Batman Trilogy either.
The scene where Batman goes to save Martha Kent makes up for everything. It was the best bat-fight in any movie, ever. If you notice at the end, he didn't adapt his creed not to kill until after he felt he'd failed Superman (hence, the branding of the wall in Luthor's cell instead of Luthor, indicating he was changing his ways to be less brutal). I like that Batman and Superman were killers in these movies. I get that people expect them to be the same characters, but they've been the exact same characters for 50 years a piece. Let somebody come out with a darker take on them just for the sake of "what if Batman was a killer?"
no one should make a batman movie anymore
Alfred saying “Sometimes a man rises from the darkness” as the batsuit emerges from the the cave floor
The music in the last film was incredible, id still listen to it wherever i go
The symbolism here is so subtly loud that sometimes it gets completely ignored and sometimes you just are awe of it ! Nolan is just another level ! Instance bat suit rises up with dialogue that pit throws something back !!
respect the past embrace the future
