My FIRST Time Watching The Dark Knight Rises! ~ New Favorite Movie Trilogy!

[@zeeshanmohammad328]

What I love about Nolan's trilogy is that Bruce gets his ending. He finally let go of the pain and grief but also understood Batman needs to continue by handing the mantle off

[@joeb918]

I love than and hate that, because of yet we have yet to see the follow up character that takes Batman’s mantle. Someday maybe.

[@ItApproaches]

Which makes no damn sense, that's the one thing Batman doesn't want. His whole purpose to to be there for Gotham so no little boy goes through what Bruce Wayne did...he would never fake his death just to ditch Gotham and live a boring old normal life. Bruce grows old and is still always Batman.

I’ve also heard, several times that Bale was virtually offered a blank check to do a 4th movie, but he refused. He said it wasn’t about money, he felt he’d given all he could as Batman and it was time to move on

[@kevinmoore2929]

Had there been a fourth, we can safely assume that Robin wouldn't be used. Nightwing would have been the identity used with a version of Batman Beyond Bruce in the cave.

[@BedlamBeersie]

Part of the genius of Christopher Nolan is that he made this movie that he knew was going to be watched by fans of Batman and still managed to hide an entire villain.

[@projectpat8807]

Not really. During Summer 2011, on-set photos found their way onto the internet of Marion Cotillard in the Talia/League Of Shadows outfit. So a lot of people already knew the twist was coming. But it was unsure if she was a good guy, villain, or mix (since Talia is back and forth on good and evil). I think now the twist is easier to see since the young Talia or what people think is a young Bane is played by a really young Joey King. Joey King is now more famous and stuff/well known than back when The Dark Knight Rises released. So if they recognize Joey King, they should be able to figure out stuff that the child of Ra's is a girl, not a boy.

[@Griffnix]

I knew that Talia was in the movie but I completely forgot about it when I went to go see it. I was just so invested in the movie.

Funny enough, oddly as well, my actual favorite line from the movie lolz.

[@reflectionist]

You know, something that's really interesting about The Dark Knight Trilogy is that Christopher Nolan's films always--ALWAYS--have some wild ass plot twist that comes out of nowhere. Except that the wild ass plot twists in these three movies are taking something wild-ass and making it work the right way all along. And a lot of Batman fans think that these movies DON'T have the plot twist in them, because we, as Batman fans, knew going into the movies that Ra's Al Ghul isn't a fan of dying, Harvey Dent isn't the White Knight, and Ra's Al Ghul had daughters, not sons. I absolutely respect how these movies will kind of shy away from the more fantastical elements of these characters, but they don't abandon them entirely, they just make them metaphorical. Like how Bane's prison... *IS* the Lazarus Pit. The part of Batman that calls itself Bruce Wayne was dead for eight years. Then lowered into a pit... but the guy who rose from the pit wasn't Batman. That was Bruce Wayne. Fully alive and in complete control, for the first time since Crime Alley. And it was Bruce Wayne who gave Batman permission to step back and say, "I have done enough. My parents would be proud of me."

[@wowkir]

Beautiful analysis.

[@reelstellar]

Top tier comment

[@SpectrumAnalysis]

I don't know if you realised this, or if anyone's told you yet but... The giant hole in which we see a metaphorical ghost of Ra's Al Ghul, where people climb out and are reborn fresh and with new eyes to look upon the world IS this movie's Lazarus Pit. They made it a metaphorical resurrection rather than a literal one. Also, can we take a moment to appreciate the moments of character breaking Catwoman does? How Anne Hathaway can capture a person acting as another person while acting as another person? Her playing the victim once the cops raid the restaurant. The tonal shift in her whole body and demeanour on that safe cracking scene the moment the mask falls and she drops the act with a facetious "Oops... no-one said it was uncrackable..." Genius.

[@anthonyanth8368]

Wow that's cool

[@dhorn4005]

Never thougth of the Lazarus Pit... woah. That is genious. I love how, while Nolan is doing his own thing; he is interpeting Batman for a 'realistic world'... he DOES do it from a deep love of the source material. He is not saying 'ok, how can I do this better'... but rather 'Ok we have seen the comics, watch the cartoons... how can I do something new, BUT still be Batman?' Renewing apreciation for Nolan.

[@thekatarnalchemist]

That's actually really, really clever. And he's even healed in it!

[@stormknightmd]

I now have to ponder about that fact about the prison now. I was this years old when I realized that.

[@juliangrant9718]

It's three things. It's the Lazarus Pit. It's the well that he fell down as a child that made him feel helpless and drew out his worst fears. And it's a physical manifestation of his grief. It's the way Alfred sees Bruce. Like he's in a pit of despair that he can't climb out of because Batman is his prison guard. He's not reborn as a new Batman when he makes it out the pit. He's reborn as a new Bruce Wayne. Someone who is ready to move on from Batman and live a life. So this movie series begins with Bruce falling down a pit and rising up as the Batman. Then it ends with Batman falling down a pit and rising back up as Bruce Wayne.

[@rinkairiozuki7245]

"Do you feel in Charge?" love that line. Delivery was on point. Give me goosebumps everytime i rewatch it

[@stormknightmd]

I watched The Dark Knight Rises as part of a watching all three Dark Knight movies back to back on opening night. When we saw Bruce and Selena at the end of The Dark Knight Rises, we all cheered. We all want our heroes to have a happy ending, and we saw Bruce finally found his peace. Nolan wanted his Batman trilogy to be based in realism. When you die, you die. Most of the effects are practical. Very little was CGI. Save Adam West and Kevin Conroy (RIP,) this is my favorite Batman portrayal. You have to play Bruce Wayne right, and Bale did it. When I saw him in American Psycho and Equilibrium (2002,) I knew he was going to be right for the job.

Equalibrium is such an underrated movie and such a good film. As a teenage I was working at a movie theater and the movie came out to the theater and I went to see it. When I heard Christian Bale was Batman I thought he was the perfect part for the role as well. I also lived in Gurnee Illinois 45 minutes north of Chicago. In Waukegan Illinois which was 20 minutes away from where I lived they had a straight road for miles that no one used the road that often. They used the road for the Batmobile police chase. At the end of the road they made a fake Batcave for the Tumbler to go through. When the Batmobile goes into the cave they used the cave at a sound stage in Chicago

[@lamerajas]

Michael Caine as alfred in this movie has some impressive and emotional moments. Acting masterful class Tom Hardy is AWESOME as Bane. That intimidating voice, that body language... that way of being so expressive despite the mask. Impressive.

[@Kushgroove714]

I saw this meme a while ago that I totally agree with. It showed how every villain broke a different piece of Batman throughout the films.

One of the many things Nolan did with these movies that I've rarely seen is developing a plot that keeps you constantly re-evaluating what you think is really happening.

[@mrglasses8953]

I remember watching this in the theatre and assuming that when the bat is chasing the tumblers through the streets it was CGI and thinking that it looked amazing and so real, but it looks real because it is real: they mounted the full size bat on a rig and drove it through the streets. Nolan's reliance on practical effects and minimal use of CGI is part of what makes them feel so real, other directors should take note.

[@rushmaverick1923]

@@mouse7965 At the time this movie was made, Bane was still a relatively new character who had been introduced in the 90's just like Harley Quinn. So it was hard to add more depth to his character than what was already written less than 2 decades ago.

[@IAmNeomic]

For Bane's voice: Tom Hardy had a small mic built into his vest that was recording the on-set audio. They then used that as a reference and re-recorded his dialog. The way they got the voice was with him doing the accent, and speaking into a paper towel roll. Add a touch of reverb and distortion to give it a speaker/amplifier sound, and a lot of bass to make it nice and boom-y. Tom Hardy originally said he was just doing a "northern Irish" accent, but later admitted the voice was basically just him doing a Sean Connery impression.

[@manofyesterday5227]

So theres a part near the end that Fox talks about the autopilot on the Batwing being completed by "someone." So it's implied that Bruce escapes, and the autopilot takes the bomb away.

[@ZiadJimmy]

Not "someone". They literally say the patch was done by Bruce Wayne.

[@isipscognac]

What's weird, though, is that they show him in the cockpit right before the bomb goes off. I think that was an editing mistake. I think he was supposed to have bailed out when the Batwing bursts through that building. I also wish we didn't actually see him in Florence, but that's a minor nitpick.

@@ZiadJimmy As opposed to figuratively? If yes, then what makes you think that we would have thought that otherwise?

[@bryphost]

@@isipscognac It was not a mistake, they did it on purpouse to make you think that he died, then the reveal in the end is suppose to make you think 'how did he survive' and for those that paid attention to the autopilate thing its like ooh thats how, and also if we saw him escape in the last minute then and not actually think he was dead then the whole funeral last words thing would not have been as impactful to the viewer etc so yes it was absolutely not a mistake.

Is a scene directtly take from the Retur of the Dark Knigth comic; the story that redefined the Silver Age Batman; a campy superhero that would go in colorfull adventures with his teenage sideckik and his bestie Superman (see Adam West's 60's show) into the tortured ninja-detective obsessed with his mission; who is anecesary evil to keep at bay the horrrors of the nigth. This movies plot is (in VERY wide strokes) based on that comic; a retired Batman who comes back for a last ride and leads the city when it's in it's darkest hour. 'Batman VS. Superman' also took lots of scenes, situations and moments from that comic; but it lacked the depth of the comic.

[@Tuning3434]

​@@dhorn4005well tbh, OG Batman in the '40s was pretty dark, then censoring came in and a Robin was needed. The succes of the Adam West show added a lot of camp. 80s batman was already pretty darker under influence of Marvel and solidified under The Dark Knight Retuns in '86 and Death in the Family in '88. Burton's film in '89 and Timm's BTAS finally shaped how modern audiences know Batman.

Terry "John" McGinnis being a cop and trying to get his brother, Matt, out of the foster system after both their parents died. Their parents are split up just like in the series and Terry lives with his dad, but then their dad dies as one of the causalities of the Joker and his followers from the events of The Dark Knight, just like their dad getting killed by the Jokerz in the series. Terry goes to live with his mom and brother, but then their Mom dies a few years later of something else. Terry being in the foster system for only a year before aging out and tries to get Matt out by becoming his legal guardian, but his juvie record makes it's difficult for him to prove that he's a responsible adult. and that leads into his character in The Dark Knight Rises, including Bruce leaving the legacy of Batman to him.

The one thing that frustrates me about the Knightfall storyline is Bane is too chicken to face Batman when he is in a good state. Instead Bane has to weaken Bruce/Batman by making him recapture all the other supervillains. With this strategy, I can't really take Bane seriously as a threat and it makes him just seem like a chicken. When we finally get to the fight, it's only a one-side fight. I feel Bane has to earn stuff, which means fight Batman/Bruce when he is well rested and prepared.

I just realized Juno Temple from Ted Lasso has a small part in this.

[@nvp8191]

You need to see the Gotham TV series which has some of the best version of the Batman villains. 🤠

[@IntelAuror98]

What an AMAZING REACTION!! 🔥🔥🔥 I’m so glad you reacted to this whole AMAZING series!!!

[@krono5el]

wow, never realized that that bat symbol intro being ice could be interpreted as Mr. Freeze, that woulda been hilarious if Arnie popped up : p

[@Srefis]

Tom Hardy (Bane) plays a great role in “Dunkirk”. A world war film. He’s a pilot in a mustang.

[@mdlvideo]

He fixed the auto pilot. That’s how he survived.

[@thewackykid]

totally agree.... TDK trilogy is LoTR trilogy level... both are my #1 trilogy of all time..

[@rboey]

Tiny fact: Christopher Judge (Kratos) is a mercenary in this film. A bit of God of War in your Batman movie

[@CrashWizard]

Indeed.

Only few people (like LightWeight girl) notice Teal'c :D

[@michellevi4919]

You fangirl so hard for batman, it's cute. I also wonder what other guns you recognize.

[@esteban280889]

End of a trilogy masterpiece. The ending makes me cry everytime.

[@diydeposits]

If you get a chance, and you want to know more about this Bane story, read the Knightfall Saga

[@LelekPLN]

Rises is easily the most emotionally impactful of the three movies. I loved Bale's performance here and Michael Caine's. Bane is a fantastic follow up after Joker. No one would have been able to fill in Heath's shoes but Tom Hardy did something totally different and really nailed it. And of course Anne Hathaway as Catwoman. I know Michelle Pfeiffer usually gets all the love and for good reason (the suit, the acting, the looks) but Anne really gets the comic character justice while also being a cinematic femme fatale. And finally that it harkens back to the romantical epic both in scope (we have a full revolution in Gotham), aesthetic (Gotham is different here than in TDK - they showcased less modern architecture and more historical buildings - the court, Wayne estate, sewers) and love interest (we have a love triangle, or maybe even a square with Bruce, Catwoman and Talia but also Talia and Bane's relationship is open for interpretation as well). Ohhhh, and of course it has that phenomenal ending edit, starting from the explosion up to the credits. Chef's kiss. I'm really glad you enjoyed it. It's my favorite trilogy as well.

[@thunderstruck5484]

Bane has the coolest walk since Darth Vader in the originals , thanks enjoyed your reaction!

[@TigerGreene]

If you loved these and want a laugh you should definitely react to Pete Holmes' Badman series. It's a bunch of short 5 minute vids that parody scenes from the Dark Knight movies - hysterical!! Especially the scene with Bane and Talia and Batman as she stabs him. PRICELESS.

[@LightsCameraJake]

Don't know about you but my favorite aspect of these films will always be that sweet and savory Hanz Zimmer music

[@metoo7557]

The performance of Michael Caine in this one is extraordinary.

[@jaystarr6571]

41:48 And Police Commissioner Gorbin.

[@beatyz2]

1:04:51 my favorite part of the end scene is that the writing and performance is so epic that the answer because he's Batman IS a sufficient explanation for a surviving an atomic 🤯 explosion😂!🎉❤

[@darthroden]

Interesting fact: If Heath Ledger hadn't died, the Joker would have been the judge in the courtroom sentencing people to exile instead of Crane/Scarecrow. Nolan wouldn't recast the Joker because Ledger's role had become iconic.

[@moondog3056]

No. Recasting the Joker for 1-2 minutes of screentime would be a waste of money

[@LelekPLN]

That's not true. At the time of Heath's death Nolan didn't even have a draft or outline of the script for part 3. Joker would most likely be the main or one of the main villains of the third film had Heath been alive and the movie would look totally different, other than the ending for Bruce which Nolan and Goyer agreed on while doing Batman Begins.

[@greywolf7577]

@@LelekPLN Even if Heath had survived, I wouldn't want him in the third movie. The joker is such a major character, that you can't have him as a second tier villain. And I don't want to have as the main villain since they already did that. So he can't appear in the third movie. Scarecrow is a lower tier villain in the movie, so it's okay for him.

[@Nova-fh2et]

That's not necessarily true. Nolan wasn't going to do a third movie originally and then when asked about Heath later, he just casually said he may have been the judge. It was more of just a casual answer in an interview

[@Humanipathic]

Not so interesting lie by whomever started it. Not true. He would’ve had a big role confirmed by Goyer and Jon Nolan recently as they said if he were alive how could they not put him in it w/o any idea. But it’s a lot diff film.

[@chadjenkins4876]

It was epic in theaters. Not everybody loves this one. I'm glad you enjoyed it to its fullest. In the superhero genre, I think only a couple of the MCU movies can hold up to this nolan trilogy

[@jakubpuchalski2583]

You should watch and react to "gotham". its a tvshow about james gordon and young bruce wayne. It doesnt really tie into any stories from the comics but many of the iconic batman villains do appear and its SO COOL to see their origin stories and gordon fighting them instead of batman. Also its very camp which makes it even better lol

[@Rollotomassi099]

Something was missing in the last movie and its due to the fact that the 3rd movie was not made with the same fervor as the first 2 due to Heath's passing. Nolan even admitted he wasnt motivated to make the 3rd act and wouldnt do so until he found a suitable story. I don't know what the story was supposed to be for the 3rd act but it was to feature the Joker as Heath was signed on for 2 movies. If only life happened a little different.... “I think you and I are destined to do this forever.”

[@FM-qq2kk]

Watch an older Batman with Michael Keaton as Batman and Jack Nicholson as the Joker

[@MrDzoni955]

Im so glad you loved this one. So many people dislike it for some problematic plot elements and few bad one-liners, but I watched it 6 or 7 times in a theatre when it came out. The second one is still the best tho

[@robertboyer1086]

Miranda is also the name of a planet where Reavers were created. 😜

[@johnbowersox738]

Even if the reaction was horrible (absolutely not true), your pun alone would have earned a like. Bravo!

[@VforVictory00]

45:13 that's the girl she looks out for. It's a character from Batman Year One.

[@jmini2010]

My favorite cinematic trilogy. Glad you watched them all.

[@wwciii]

Time for you to watch the '60s live action series.

[@mblackwl]

Yep. A lot more Catwoman in that.

[@shugaroony]

Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb!

[@ericholland3178]

should totally go through all of Nolan's movies. The Prestige/interstellar/inception/memento/oppenheimer

[@s0m0s76]

Now you should watch The Green Mile.

[@alex0589]

That outfit makes me want to say.... **holding wounded leg on the ground** "Call me?" It was fun going through the whole journey with you

[@adrianharrell87]

Back when this movie was coming out, there was talk of an alternative scene. In this scene, Bane and his mercs storm blackgate prison and freeing the inmates. While his mercs was freeing the prisoners, Bane came across a cell and he looked inside and saw the Joker. They stare at each other for a minute and Bane walked off, continuing to free the prisoners but left Joker locked in his cell. Hinting that he knew about the Joker and the things he did and realized that he couldn't be trusted.

[@Diego62696]

Batman survived because he fixed the automatic pilot of the Bat Plane… one of the last scenes, Lucius Fox talk with the scientists, and one of those said Bruce Wayne fixed it and upgrade his name in system.

[@vinnycordeiro]

The Joker movie with Lady Gaga wasn't even released in theaters yet, Miranda, you will need to wait a bit longer for that reaction. :) And funny you mentioned that the football team have the Steelers colors because those were real NFL players, from the Pittsburgh Steelers at the time. XD

[@knight6]

Anne Hathaway was so amazing as Selena Kyle. It was so much fun watching this in the theaters, especially midnight. I watched this film so many times in the theaters.

[@kieranc3142]

If the 90s batman show is next am pumped it'll be good to see u watching Kevin's debut:)

[@Etticos.]

That’d be amazing

[@Elementarian]

Time for you to continue your Nolan journey, and continue to have your mind blown time and time again.
