The Dark Knight Rises (2012) full movie breakdown! How did director Christopher Nolan adapt the Bane character from the Batman comics, and what visual details did he hide in Bane's appearance and costume? What subtle connections exist between The Dark Knight Rises and The Dark Knight (2008) and Batman Begins (2005), and how is the movie influenced by the next phase of Nolan's work, including movies like Inception and Dunkirk? Erik Voss analyzes the deeper meaning of The Dark Knight Rises, including parallels to Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities and Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns. What Joker Easter Eggs are hidden in The Dark Knight Rises? How is the reveal of Robin foreshadowed throughout the movie?

Tom Hardy's Bane is so underrated in this trilogy. This villain is up there with Heath Ledgers Joker. He did Bane so well, I don't think there will ever be a better version of this Bane. I don't think we ever gave Tom Hardy the respect he should have got for this role. He should've got at least an Oscar nomination for best character/actor. It seemed Batman played a secondary role to Bane. Also Bane was such a good villain for this trilogy.

I'm so grateful for this breakdown. The Dark Knight gains its accolades because of Joker (that's usually the first and only thing that comes up), but there's A LOT more to The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises, and so much thought went into giving each movie substance. The reason I appreciate The Dark Knight Rises so much is the underlying of economic inequality and social upheaval. It's not chaotic like the second movie; it's political and strategic. While it doesn't have the flair of a madman in makeup, The Dark Knight Rises considers the city as a whole: their authority and morality (both ended up being inverted). I'll stop there before I get carried away, because I love this movie. Although I love the trilogy, The Dark Knight Rises is smart and uplifting! Thanks again for this amazing breakdown.

After rewatching all three in the last week, I’d actually say that The Dark Knight Rises is actually the best film as a whole.

Dark Knight is my favorite movie of all time. But i did really enjoy The Dark Knight Rises. Yes I realize some of the downs with that movie. But there is a lot of unique tellings of different characters and comic storylines. They found a way to bring everything together and have a concussion to the main characters (Alfred, Gordon, Bruce) stories. Dark Knight Rises had an up hill battle for the start. It was always going to be compared to The Dark Knight. Which we all know was an unfair measuring stick. It was a great movie. And a great end to one of the best trilogies

[@diegosantiago1233]

Ikr, my favorite movies of all time are 1.The Dark Knight 2.Avengers Endgame 3.Avengers Infinity War Idk why but I almost (R.I.P. Batman and Robin)always love comic book movies about Batman and superheroes in general

Cant pick between the dark night and rises. They are both just so good.

[@brittanywilliams5078]

From the darkness, the realisticality, the actors, the scores... and just everything... I’m in love with the Dark Knight trilogy. I see it as one movie, and I just can’t get enough. Christopher Nolan did an amazing job, and I doubt any other comic-based movie series can top it

Tom Hardy deserves credit for his incredible performance. Not his fault he followed Heath’s Joker. Hehe

[@WisdomCritFail]

I think it's kind of too late for a Joseph Gordon-Levitt Nightwing movie. If they had made it before the "Worlds of DC" was a thing, then it would work. But doing it now might be confusing for casual fans. I would like to see him in another superhero movie though. Since he's already been in The Dark Knight Rises, it would be nice to see him in the MCU. A lot of people have fan-casted him as Mr Fantastic. I don't really see him as a good fit for that role, but would love to see him play someone else; someone that he fits better as.

[@corywilson532]

How about, instead of Mr. Fantastic. He'd be a perfect Mister Miracle for the eventual Justice League 2 with Darkseid.

Wow no... Mr fantastic has to be ripped athletic and play off as a huge dorky nerd. Also black.

[@she-venom9842]

I loved this movie Tom Hardy did great job as Bane in my opinion he didnt use venom in the movie becuse it would turn him a big fat silly i am glad he didnt use it

[@danad1698]

That's ok because now he IS Venom!

[@kimberleymorris8052]

Burn Gorman for me a small role but I love him

[@zebralion13]

I always felt the pain killer his mask fed him allowed him to push past the mental restrictions most people have. It numbs his pain receptors without dulling his senses. I respected it as a real world explanation of the Venom serum.

[@bujilou]

yeah it was a stellar way to throw in some kind of"drug" yet make it believable, if he is taking it to numb pain he can also train harder and become stronger as well, and being numb to half batmans blows definitely helps too haha..good twist on an awesome villian

[@crush41gb]

I know they never mentioned venom but, he did have enhanced strength, he took out a portion of the pillar when he threw a punch at Batman. Also, Batman's mask leaves open the mouth and covers the rest of his head, opposite for Bane. And they also recorded the crowd at the football game for Bane's Rise theme. And did Bruce really need the brace because he's pretty healed without it later and in the pit.

[@1sihingable]

Dark knight Rises is awesome! I'm a Bane fan too. More Bane!!!

Bane wasn’t ex-communicated because he was too cruel. He was ex-communicated because he could not forgive R’as Al Ghul for abandoning Talia and made this clear to him

My older brother took me to see this in theaters back in 2012 and he unfortunately passed away in 2016 so when I watched this movie a couple days ago it was really tough I got really sad cuz the movie recaptured the memory of seeing this with him.

Great analysis of a movie that definitely gets too much unfair criticism because of its outstanding predecessor. No question in my mind that (1) The Dark Knight, (2) The Dark Knight Rises and (3) Batman Begins; though all three together form something greater than the sum of its parts. Nolan is a genius, and I would be thrilled for him to step in and save the DC universe.

[@salomaonplanetsaturn674]

When it was released I felt upset. There was so much hype it was impossible live up to it. Couple of years later and I loved it. More than that. If I need to choose which part to rewatch again, it will be Rises.

What an awesome video. I agree wholeheartedly with the point he made about how TDKR would be perceived if it were the direct follow-up to Batman Begins instead of TDK. It would likely be considered the greatest and most epic standalone superhero movie of all time. Certainly the most nuaned and sophisticated. The Dark Knight set the bar very high.
