The Dark Knight Rises (2012)




Eight years after the Joker's reign of anarchy, the Dark Knight must return to defend Gotham City against the enigmatic jewel thief Catwoman and the ruthless mercenary Bane as the city teeters on the brink of complete annihilation.

Highly accomplished attempt (on all levels) to top off the previous The Dark Knight on an almost epic scale - it nearly succeeds.

Maltin***: "With more humor and grace notes but just as many story detours as the previous film, this one offers juicy moments to Caine, Hathaway, and a new straight-arrow cop character well played by Gordon-Levitt. Still a bit self-serious but roundly entertaining, with a highly satisfying finale."
