[@JohnSmith-jb2jf]

Feels like I'm the only one who likes Part 3 the most. And I'm not one to like sequels very often. The dialogue didn't drop off at all. A lot of very powerful, character building moments. To name a few...the scene where he returns and the cops surround him as he looks on in disappointment/feeling betrayed was very moving. Then the escape from the pit was brilliant as well. It all gets tied up nicely with him being willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for Gotham. We still don't know for sure whether he survived and found love with Selena Kyle. A great conclusion, open to interpretation of the audience. For me the order is 3, 1, 2. I love origin stories and Neeson is my favorite actor, so I had to put it in 2nd place. But the margins are very thin. Just an amazing series from Nolan. I think highly of Pattinson as an actor but I just can't see anyone reaching this level with this franchise again.

[@lyfe4944]

It’s only upon rewatch of this scene that I noticed a subtle but brilliant detail. At approx. 0:41-0:56 when Bruce answers Rachel’s question if you pay attention you’ll notice something. Bruce’s entire demeanor changes when alluding to the “Batman”. First he smiles awkwardly before becoming intently serious. This is indicative of Batman’s character, whereas Bruce Wayne is Batman’s mask. Opposed to what we usually see from superheroes in which it’s the opposite. This is incredible acting on the account of Bale and it’s amazing to watch. It’s a great commentary of Bruce’s psyche, as to how he views himself and by an extension his two identities. As the change is immediate, which suggest Bruce’s mentality trumps his humanity. As “Batman” will automatically, almost unwillingly take over Bruce, once he’s doing anything remotely related to it. Really great stuff.

[@johnulcer]

Nolan captured the entire spirit of Batman and what he stands for and represents with these scenes. The idea that a man is not defined by what he thinks of himself, or what others think of him, but by his actual actions. It's what the Snyder films in particular did not appreciate about Bruce Wayne and Batman.

[@darkdagger2287]

Katie Holmes is so much better as Rachel

[@drlee2]

Totally agree. People have their opinions but whenever I read anyone say Maggie G was better in TDK, I just don't know what movie they were watching. She was just so dull and lifeless in the role. She didn't even seem like a believable lawyer. Holmes felt both like a real lawyer and she gave Rachel an energy and outward toughness that Maggie G simply lacked.

[@joshuasoto6652]

@@drlee2 I don't think Maggie did a bad job, I just think she was miscast. This isn't her type of role in the first place. Also, I can see why some people don't like Katie Holmes in this movie, but I think she did a great job! She's very charming and sweet and strong. I completely get why Bruce is so attracted to her. Now, Maggie in some interviews said that she loved what Katie did with the role, but that she wanted Rachel to be "a real woman", and I seriously don't think she succeeded. I don't see anywhere in The Dark Knight why both Bruce and Harvey are so attracted to her. All being said, that's why I prefer Katie Holmes in the role. I am still very upset to date that she didn't reprise her role. I would have enjoyed so much more The Dark Knight with Katie Holmes in it.

Absolute masterpiece of expressing emotions by these two actors!!! Fabulous, just fabulous! And I must say, that what I really love is the way they looked at each other. They look at each other as two super best friends, people who know each other very well and really 'connect'. I love that Katie created that 'perfect best friend' character, instead of being seductress, femme fatale or damsel in distress. The whole acting is very natural and heart warming. I also love Christan's way of managing "switching" between his all 3 identities. We see The Playboy, Real Bruce, but there's also a hint of Batman there : "I am more" ( which reminds of the place scene with Bruce and Alfred). And using the same words to show the complexity of human choices and behaviours, wow... : "It is not who you are / I am underneath..." . It's a great lesson to never judge the book by its cover.

[@JeremyCuddles]

Christian Bale is such a great actor in that restaurant scene. Bruce wants to tell Rachel that all of the antics is just an act so people don't suspect that Bruce Wayne is Batman. And finally when he has a moment alone with her he can finally let her know in a very special way that he isn't an uncaring playboy. That he wants to do good.

Rewatching this scene, it's fascinating to see how well they capture Bruce Wayne's mindset. Inside, I am Batman. "Bruce Wayne" is the facade

[@AndyDufresne11]

I can watch this movie any number of times! They stopped making movies this good!

[@josephjames2894]

Best batman till date.

MARVEL AIN'T GOT SHIT ON THIS!

[@RevvedUpProgess]

Comrade Snake Dark knight trilogy > MCU > DCEU

[@kisubags437]

Yea...yea it does. Dark Knight might be the greatest movie ever but when you put the whole packages together mcu is way ahead.

[@1994Powerslave]

Kisu Bags While your point could be valid, I would like you to read my first comment again.

[@RTHpriest]

Comrade Snake Infinity War is comparable to this. But the Dark Knight trilogy is something that will never be replicated, and I say that as a Marvel fan.

[@ibraheemsolaiman2600]

Spider man 2 is up there

[@yourjai]

That end scene still give me chills when he says and jumps and leaves the girl shocked and fly in style and the boss music starts playing.

[@theWn123]

This is why Christian Bale is my favorite live action Batman. His Batman and Bruce Wayne feel like two different characters entirely. He really sells the dual identity of the character.

[@cameroncutler5766]

Interesting choice to give Batman a "Mary Jane". All these years later I'm still not sure it was a good one. But Nolan certainly makes it work. That guy can make anything work

You can see how hurt Bruce is to lie to Rachel as he wants to tell her but ultimately he has to sacrifice having a normal life and the things he wants in order to save Gotham! Christopher Nolan really understood how to write Bruce and Batman better than anyone else, and I don’t think anyone will ever top it either, it’s why the dark knight trilogy is the best ever!

[@dharakeswaransiva3337]

Emotions. Such wonderful depictions in his films. Absolutely marvellous Christopher Nolan.

[@pjosepha]

Racheal is a true example that u can't win them all as a man: women r just so hard to please,........but we still love them

[@smurfyday]

If they're easy to please, then they're, well, easy.

[@evanlandry7320]

I love her voice and her acting and his acting. Truly the best batman movie, better than the new ones. Twenty times better with the story and imagery

[@youngzeke8913]

"It's what I do that defines me" - love the quote

[@antona.8659]

These two scenes brilliantly showcase how key the duality is to Batman. The delineation between the two personas is what motivated both of them to pursue their goals. Bale is the best live-action Bat for a reason, and this reason is right here.

[@isaacmensahboadu9218]

Christian Bale is Batman, Batman is Christian Bale

[@JiisTube]

He's the best Batman, but they should do voice overs for his Batman lines 😂😂

[@duduron4983]

Christian bale is amazing actor and he was born to play batman . Every scene with bale in the batman begins was perfect. Thank god they choose bale for this triolgy

[@jz5748]

Man this movie never gets old.every dialogue is

[@ishaannaolekar3126]

He was,he is and he will be batman

[@GamerOner2H]

Both scenes, one begins and the other ends the same. "Bruce...?"

[@raghavmehta5180]

This small scene is lot better than whole batman vs superman

[@juanfarias6972]

So true

[@Grenrick]

This movie, the conflict beetwen his real identity and the way he seeks redemption from his own fears - either through Rachel or batman - is SO beautiful

[@leart78]

so inspiring movie .. love the spirit.. even the music or sounds on background make you FEEL

[@Marklikeyouknow]

This is classic. No one did it better, Nolan made it simple and brilliant

[@mamidivivek1]

Bruce feeling so helpless when he tries to explain, but gets schooled. One of the most vulnerable moments of Bruce. The other one is when Alfred tries to convince Bruce going against Bane and speaks about the letter Rachel wrote, that she chose Harvey. Some things never get fixed, they remain broken.

[@hr_2517]

Whenever i watch this series it feels like first time every time.

[@MAAZAD]

This Rachel was so much better than the Rachel we got after the first one.

[@prathameshgore8094]

One of the best films ever

[@ioanjenkins7014]

the entire city just had a bad trip on acid basically

[@grantrichardet6250]
