Awsome review, another movie i recommend, " Caddo Lake " on hbo , its new, about a search of a missing child which leads to a bigger mystery. You both should add it 😎

“You merely adopted the dark, I was born in it, molded by it” I loved that scene.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

That line was iconic, and that scene was incredible - the entire scene was!

[@SOC_Orcus]

That scene had me so hyped in the theaters.

"ah, yes. I was wondering what would break first. Your spirit.....or your body."

[@dwilliams380]

“I didn’t know the light until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but BLINDING” I used to have that whole monologue memorized from seeing this movie too much

[@Cobinja]

Alfred is the true GOAT of this movie. His moment at the grave at the end always gets me. So well delivered by Michael Caine.

“Peace has cost you your strength.” “Victory has defeated you.” - Bane One of my fav lines that says so much by saying very little.

[@RustinChole]

Jonathan Nolan is the master of the monologue. The writing he did for Heath and Tom Hardy is what really makes these movies work for me. I cannot imagine these films without those moments. The first Bane confrontation. The interrogation scene with Heath. Perfect writing. J Nolan had proved himself a decade earlier with his screenplay for Memento, but he outdid himself with this trilogy.

[@SurajGamesOn]

A hero can be anybody even doing something as simple as putting a coat on a boys shoulder and telling him that the world has not ended.

Tom Hardy killed this!!!!!!!!! His lines were spot on great!!!!

The writing for Bane was great! Eerie and concise.

[@marieevelanoie8350]

[@kimnielsen3430]

And to think he got the mannerism from a boxer from the 70' by his own creativity. Dude influenced the character to perfection!

​@@OfficialMediaKnights PLEASE GUYS WATCH THE SNYDERVERSE

[@benm2784]

“He just broke up with his butler” instantly snapped me out of the sadness of the previous scene. Brilliant 😂

[@ignis4176]

There is something more about the reveal of Batman's identity to Gordon that hits different than any other reveal(you quote the one to Rachel), but I was never able to articulate it till a reviewer did. It's not the timing in the movie, the pressing context, the indirect way he does it, the fact that Gordon never cared about it out of respect and the recurring lines "I never said thank you - and you will never have to" between the two of them. All good and very well developed emotional points, but that is not enough to justify that extra something that always brings me to tears. Batman is also, indirectly, telling Gordon that *HE* *IS* *HIS* *HERO.*

[@novapixel16]

when alfred said "I failed you, you trusted me and I failed you", he was walking towards bruce's dad tomb like is failing him and not bruce. that made the scene so much deeper. waay deeper..

[@teslawolverine7009]

He was obviously talking to Bruce's parents

[@mrbeanhammer4203]

Idk if you guys noticed the detail, but at Batman’s “funeral” when they reveal Batman’s statue. The seats are aligned in the shape of a clown smile. A lot of ways you can interpret that parallel. I just always thought that was a fun detail. Almost Eerie

[@mrbeanhammer4203]

But one thing I do know is this detail was intentional by Nolan, another way to honor the memory of ledger.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Thank you so much for sharing this detail with us!

[@jhersh100]

my daughter notice it first time we saw it on opening day and she was 8 years old..she told me and i had to go see it again to see her vision of it..

[@brucewayne404]

9:58 - The dread on Alfred's face as he's going down that elevator, knowing the life that Bruce is likely going back to. I love that moment.

[@trev9168]

The scene where the Batman looks around and sees every cop in the city swarming him is maybe my favorite of the trilogy. The music. The sadness in Bruce’s eyes when he looks around and the tragedy of it all. Perfect

[@wyattguilliams5325]

Fun Fact Christian Bale originally didn't want to play batman because he wasn't a fan of Batman, and people began saying he wouldn't be a good choice to be Batman Anyways. Which ticked him off and pushed him to accept the Role, and he crushed it. Though he himself says he didn't do as much as he wanted to do with the character, and would look forward to playing Batman again on the condition that Christopher Nolan himself asks.

[@DDT61586]

The way this one ended, is setup perfectly for a Batman Beyond movie, with Robin as Terry in this universe.

[@fernandogimenez7520]

Uff man, that would be so awesome. What a great show

[@donaldwatson7698]

Interesting. I'd never previously considered John Blake in the Terry McGinnis/Batman Beyond role. I'd always seen Blake as this universe's Nightwing, perhaps even taking that name instead of Robin or Batman, the first being too obvious to his middle name, and Batman being too sacred to him. I'd always held out hope, especially with comments by Christian Bale that he'd do a fourth if Nolan asked, that there'd be another substantial time gap, and that Bale would be playing an aged Bruce Wayne teaching a college kid, perhaps as Blake closes out his run.

[@adon3h1]

The reason why TDKR is my favorite Batman movie is because it's a roller coaster of emotions. It ends in such a high note, going from sorrow to tears of joy, hoping that you could actually see more about these characters and their journey.

[@CollideFan1]

Bane is an excellent bad guy, he's pure brutality with no f*cks given. He even has the best quotes in this movie, if not the whole trilogy. "Speak of the devil and he shall appear." "Do you *feel* in charge?" Actually that whole scene with Daggett was epic.

[@mattc3581]

Nothing quite as intimidating as a bad guy who is utterly calm and logical. Complete contrast to the Joker who was the man who 'just wanted to watch the world burn'. Bane is the man who has an absolute logical and calmly executed plan for why the world needs to burn. Probably harder to understand and reconcile than the acts of the madman, and more scary for it.

[@windygrass9807]

​@@mattc3581no, Bane was easier to understand for Bruce, but he was just such a bigger force and on a larger scale too. On the other hand Joker was the unpredictable one for Bruce, but he had less resources and force compared to a group of legendary mercenaries.

[@mattc3581]

@@windygrass9807 I was not using understand to mean predictable, I was using it to mean whether we could comprehend their motives. Three types of people, the rational law abiding, the unhinged/insane criminal and the rational but evil anyway. People can obviously empathise with the first group. I think we can understand that some people are just insane so we kind of get the second group. I'm saying that the third group is very hard to understand because they are rational and logical but have come to completely different conclusions on what is ethical/morally acceptable. Look at it this way, if you have a maths problem. You can understand someone getting the same answer as you, you can understand someone that just got it completely wrong. But the person who seems to have done everything right and gotten a different answer is the one that throws you.

[@PythonDad]

I always felt like the Scarecrow court scenes were meant as a callback to the 90s show where in some episodes one major villain was just working as a lackey for another one.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

That’s a cool little detail!

[@jebVlogs556]

@pythondad I remember Harvey Dent/Oswald Cobblepot both seen 👀 moreso in the court,and either being sentenced and/or helping others get of jail. Joker never helped any of his comrades unless it came down to Harley(but that's a whole nother can of worms)

[@KS-xk2so]

Apparently Nolan had it in mind to have the Joker cameo in the third film as the judge in this chaos criminal court. Kind of perfect for him. Obviously not possible sadly, so they gave Cillian a call.

[@vfplayer]

⁠@@KS-xk2so that is what I heard somewhat recently also. Of course Cillian said yes right away when they told him why they needed him.

21:00 Batman is the only one in the charity event that isn’t wearing a mask because Bruce Wayne is the costume.

[@windygrass9807]

Haha! Very cool..

[@erikbjelke4411]

13:59: Yeah, Anne Hathaway is the *definitive* Catwoman. She is so damn good, no one else is ever likely to match this performance of this character. Fun fact: in researching the role, Hathaway learned that Catwoman had originally been based, at least partially, on Hedy Lamar, so she watched some Hedy Lamar movies to inform her own performance. 1:04:14: It's not really spelled out, but it's a nice touch if you're paying attention. It's said Bane's mask "holds the pain at bay." Probably some kind of inhaled anesthetic. The result would likely be Bane in a constant state of numbness, he can't feel pain. So he can push his body harder because he's noticing the warning signs that he's hurting himself in the process. And, if he's not feeling pain, injuries aren't going to slow him down unless you wreck his body's structure to the point it can't function (he'll be able to stand on a broken leg up until it's so broken the bone literally can't support weight). So it's kind of like the "Venom" super-steroid he uses in the comics, a chemical that makes him stronger and tougher. 1:11:02: Let's take a moment to talk about what this moment means for _Gordon_ as a character. Thirty-some years later, he remembers this tiny little gesture of kindness he made to a young boy. A rich and famous young boy, certainly, but after all his years as a police officer in a city as filthy as Gotham, Gordon still remembers that moment. For Bruce Wayne, that was the night his world ended. For Jim Gordon, it was just another beat in Gotham City. But Gordon still remembers it. He really is a good cop, he wants to help people, keep them safe, and comfort them if he couldn't.

[@loneranterism]

How to close out an epic saga with a bang?? Nolan : Yes !!

[@ricardorgomez]

Michael Caine is Alfred in real life... Christian Bale was caught on tape cursing like a madman when a production person screwed up a scene by passing in the background during Dark Knight Rises filming.... That tape/video went to viral and the fake news was giving Bale a bad time about it... Caine was asked about it on multiple occasions. Caine said "If you think that is bad, that's nothing compared how I would react when something like that happened to me....". There are videos of the interviews on KZbin. Even in real life, Michael Caine was protecting Christian Bale. Michael Caine: One of the classiest men ever. God bless him.

[@wampatan9]

Small correction: the rant was on the Terminator Salvation film set

[@DanielSSilva-616-]

@@philrob1978 I don't know, but I think Matt Reeves did when he did The Batman. It has the same villains as the 1966 one.

[@WhiteFangofWar]

There's a lot of time bombs in Batman stories to ramp up the tension. Even the latest one had some bombs in Riddler's plot. Just can't get rid of them.

[@M4TCH3SM4L0N3]

​@@philrob1978 I am POSITIVE that the Nolans were aware of the parallel with the '66 movie and the '60s series - there are a ton of little "nods" to that movie throughout the Nolan trilogy. For example, the mask that the Joker wears during the mob bank heist in the beginning of TDK is the same mask that Caesar Romero wore in his first appearance in the TV series (the episode "The Joker is Wild!"). For me, though, the most visceral connection is the feeling that I get watching the scene in Batman Begins when Rachel brings Bruce his birthday present and lets slip that she will be going to the narrows to check out Crane and Falcone; the way that as soon as she is in her car he turns and speed-walks to the study, plays the discordant tune to open up a secret door behind a curio/bookcase and enter the elevator to the batcave absolutely smacks of the 1960s series. It was exceptionally common for Batman to be suddenly tipped off to something about to happen while speaking as Bruce Wayne (second only to receiving a call from Gordon on the red line) and then to spring into action, pressing the secret button beneath the Shakespeare bust to reveal the bat poles behind the bookshelves. It's not a perfect reenactment, but it preserves exactly the same thematic energy with all the same gravity that my childhood mind imparted to the old TV series.

[@zmarko]

Alfred's comment to the Wayne parents' graves at the end will never NOT make me cry.

[@melvinroach5633]

I want to thank yall for the quality you put into your videos. Many youtubers who does reactions that i see on here just rush to put up a video and give poor quality to their product.

This is the best of the 3. I loved Selina/Cat Woman, and her relationship with Bruce/Batman. Gordon was great, and Blake was a real nice addiction. The last 15 minutes was EPIC. I would have loved to see a 4th one.

[@schlock159]

Guys. I think you missed something. Talia’s exact words to Batman are: “I could not forgive my father (Ra’s Al Ghul) UNTIL you murdered him”. When her father died, her grief of that loss exceeds any anger she might towards him. I think it made her realise that someone took her chance away of getting to really know her father. And her hatred towards Batman just consumes her and I think she feels she has something to proof in his memory.

[@gillesplantin7350]

Dark Knight is my favorite from the trilogy. But the more I'm watching this one, the more it grows on me. Great message of hope. Great conclusions for each character. Great ending.

[@Sinewmire]

I love the references to the French Revolution. Bane is wearing a frock coat, storms the "bastille" ie Blackate, and claims to be setting up freedom, but he's really ruling with an iron fist. Bane is frequently liked by the Nolans to Napoleon, both revolutionary and dictator.

[@LagW0lf-o7w]

I've always considered this movie to be very underrated. While it may not be as good as others, I still think it's a great film with an important message that can be applied to many aspects of life. I'm excited to know which movie you'll react to next.💗

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

When you’re part of a trilogy it’s bound to happen to one of the films where it’s viewed as “not as liked or weakest”. But if you see the entire thing as one big movie, one big arc this film is fantastic and does a good job wrapping things up.

[@kolajoabiola2790]

I can see why Rises is your favourite, Denise. TDK is mine, personally but I enjoy all 3 films regardless. Was a pleasure revisiting this trilogy with both of you. Best wishes and take care.

[@brandom5007]

One of THE best parallels in this trilogy is the comparison of the well Bruce fell in as a child and the prison he was in as an adult. They both look very similar and both offer him the same reasons to go back out and save Gotham. Chris Nolan really cooked back then when making these films.

[@tomhoffman4330]

Shout-Out to Denise (@24:30) I had NEVER Recognized that Glen Powell was EVER in this Movie!👍

That means a lot to us! Glad you enjoyed the experience 😄❤️

[@exoterric]

I saw a Tom Hardy interview where he shared having some body dysmorphia trauma from having to literally triple his normal build and maintain it with super high calorie diet. We all think he looks amazing and terrifying and kills this role like no other human being. It's hard as an empathetic person, to want to be supportive of the mental health and well-being of my fellow humans, whilst also being in awe of what that sacrifice was able to give us, the audience. We feed a dark machine.

[@toooriginal3816]

He did Warrior before this role and I’d say he’s in pretty much the same shape as that movie

[@larryvos4377]

Even with personal chefs, dietitians, medical professionals monitoring his steroid cycles, and personal trainers, hardy has talked about how dangerously unhealthy training for this role was for his heart. And people still rag on his bane for not being big enough

[@warhawk_yt]

​@@larryvos4377 Yeah, its unrealistic to ever be able to get the comic size for bane unless you go full CG route because of how dangerous it would be for the actors body.

[@yippykiyay89]

​@@toooriginal3816not even close. Warrior he was alot more lean with visible abs, he was alot chunkier in this. He also stated in an interview there was about a 10kg difference between the two roles

[@MaaZeus]

​@@larryvos4377People tend to forget this. It may seem that being a super big, steroid fed muscle hulk is healthy but on the contrary, it is like being obese. Yes you are more fit than the couch potato but that excess mass is still bad for your heart health, especially if steroids are in play that not only help boost visible muscle growth but also boosts the growth of muscles that normally do not grow during physical excercise. Heart runs out of room the pump in worst case scenario.

[@M4TCH3SM4L0N3]

This film is so underrated. No, it's not quite on the level of the Dark Knight, but it just goes so hard, and it reminds me so much of Batman's line at the end of TDK; people deserve to have their faith rewarded.

[@AlessaParker]

One little detail I like about the ending is that if you look closely, you can see that Selina is wearing the pearl necklace.

[@LittleGalaxyBoy]

Bane Comics: Within the comics, along with 99% of renditions Bane was born in the harsh prison of Peña Duro on the fictional Caribbean island of Santa Prisca, forced to serve his revolutionary father’s life sentence. Despite these brutal conditions, he grew into a highly intelligent and physically imposing individual, mastering combat and strategy. What set Bane apart was his use of the drug Venom, which significantly enhanced his strength and endurance but also made him dependent on it. Delivered via tubes connected to his brain, Venom became both his greatest asset and a burden, as he constantly struggled to control his addiction. In the iconic Knightfall storyline (1993-1994), Bane became obsessed with Gotham and saw Batman as the ultimate obstacle to his dominance. After releasing the inmates of Arkham Asylum to wear Batman down, he ambushed the Dark Knight in the Batcave and famously broke his back, leaving him paralyzed. This moment solidified Bane as one of Batman’s most dangerous foes. Bane’s first appearance outside the comics was in Batman: The Animated Series, Season 3, Episode 1, titled "Bane" (September 10, 1994), just a year after his comic debut. Voiced by Henry Silva, he was given a distinctive Latin accent, which became a defining trait for many fans. Bane Film: In the Nolan trilogy Bane was raised in the Pit located within the Middle East. He became a friend and protector of Talia al Ghul the daughter of Ra's al Ghul and later became the field commander of the League of Shadows. Tom Hardly also based the voice of Bane on Bartley Gorman a Welsh, Irish Traveller bare-knuckle boxer. And because Nolan was going for a super grounded world in the vein of our own the whole Venom aspect of the character was removed. The Pit mention above is also a grounded take on the Lazarus Pit. a Pit that provides anyone who enters it restorative powers, can even bring people back from the dead with a chance of going insane. In the film the Pit symbolizes being reborn as for anyone who escapes is reborn So is this a bad take on the character? Not really. It’s just a different Elseworlds interpretation, similar to how Keanu Reeves portrayed John Constantine. Personally, I’d prefer a Bane that’s more faithful to the comics, one rooted in his Latin culture with the iconic Luchador-inspired appearance. Even something like Batman: Arkham Origins (2013), which combined the classic look with a hint of military gear, would be closer to what I envision. If you want to talk about a bad take on a character, though, look no further than Talia al Ghul in this movie.

[@KS-xk2so]

Personally I'll take this Bane over one that has more of the comic book "details" like Venom and the "real" mask, but makes him a growling buffoon like the Batman & Robin version.

[@mimic1984]

I didn't know Venom played Bane until wayyyy later. (Which is ironic since the green juice Bane uses in the comics and most media is known as "Venom." 💜

[@JohnBogna]

When I worked as a tutor at a high school, one of the other tutors and I called a student to wish him a happy birthday, and I did a Bane impression the entire time. Everyone cracked up and it's still one of the best memories from that job.

[@Timelord007]

The whole trilogy is awesome from it's acting, character arcs, music score, the writing, directing all combine to deliver a trilogy that has a beginning middle & end. Fantastic reaction to the whole trilogy Ari & Denise you always deliver post movie discussions so brilliantly & really give a great narrative to your likes/dislikes.

[@TheRaidernation33]

This trilogy is great get chills when he climbs up the pit and the bats fly out with the music symbolism of the well he fell down as a kid all comes full circle when he reaches the top as Batman again

[@kiranpunnoose2441]

Fun fact: In the DC Comics, Bane is South American, born in Pena Duro prison on an island called Santa Prisca, which is located in the Caribbean. Bane is both brawn and brains similar but different to Batman. He uses a highly addictive super-steroid called Venom that gives him superhuman attributes.

[@Danimals_as_liters]

Yep. The teddy bear he's usually seen with is quite tragic.

[@bencotton9414]

35:12 - such a TERRIFYING and yet subtle way of establishing dominance from Bane! He doesn't hit Dagget or hurt him...he simply lays a hand on his shoulder to let him know he's absolutely powerless! An absolute masterclass from Tom Hardy! ❤❤❤

I love how the pit in TDKR is a metaphorical version of the Lazarus Pit from the comics

[@AraiShado]

These movies from a time when life was much more innocent, not just is it nostalgic to watch a movie like this but also the emotion that I had at that time. Remembering watching this with my mom when she was alive and we where batman fans, watched the trilogy with both her and my friends, popcorn nights. With all those mixed with the emotional acting and when Alfred cries and tries to help Bruce hits really hard man. Really love Christian Bale Batman, good movies and good memories

I always thought that Bane knew Bruce Wayne was Batman because he looked up his file in the League of Shadows office. They have files on every single member.

[@beautifulbliss5883]

Oh wow! I didnt think you would do this one, seeing as you already saw this trilogy. Anyway, I'm so happy that you are. Loving your hair, Denise. 😍. I love this trilogy because it talks about fear and how its used, from the villains and from Batman

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

It's so good! All of these were executed so well. Loved the fact that it was a bit more grounded so when Batman was doing Batman stuff we never once lose the connection with the man behind the mask, Bruce. Every hit he takes, every leap he does we’re reminded of his will.

[@nancyhayes9958]

I love how the script is flipped. In the first two movies, it’s Batman rising and subsuming Bruce’s identity and using it as another form of mask to become a symbol of fear to the city’s underworld. In this movie, Bruce rises to become a symbol of hope to the city, and Batman is just the most effective of his tools.

[@ericechols6056]

Alfred was not just a great friend but a second father to Bruce/Batman. Would have loved to see a part 4, in which Christian Bale said he would do, only if Chris Nolan would write and direct the movie. Anne Hathaway gave an excellent performance as post-Cat Woman, the way she could transition her personality like a light switch. Anne even said, she would like to have done a back story to Cat Woman, if Nolan directed the movie. Batman wasn't a hero anymore but a Legend.

[@Imbx4406]

Tom Hardy certainly had a lot to live up to as Bane, especially following Heath Ledger's performance as Joker. But he definitely nailed it and made his own mark on the trilogy

The Dark Knight Rises was my Avengers: Endgame, in terms of hype. Nothing will ever top the hype I had for that movie. Such an amazing ending for my favourite trilogy ❤

[@blaze2001]

Selina Kyle's body language is amazing in this film, when she's introduced, she's this shy maid but the minute Bruce sees through the illusion you can notice her posture changes. She stands tall and embraces her true nature, her true persona. It reminds me a little of the scene in Superman 2 when Lois confronts Clark on his true identity. Christopher tries to deny and hunches his shoulders at first but when he realizes the gig is up, he straightens up and excludes this confidence that was buried beneath the "Clark Kent" persona.

You want a real Tom Hardy hard hitter. Then " WARRIOR " will rock your world. Unbelievable portrayal of power on many levels.

[@callumpenman6957]

Top 15 film of all time for me: Warrior (2011)

[@jlhanlon1980]

I always hated the Talia death scene until a paramedic told me he's seen deaths like that.

[@nodarshurgaia4301]

I hope I never see it because nothing will stop me from bursting into laughter

[@scottyp3876]

A week after it's release, I was working as a delivery driver for a major exercise company. Unbeknownst to myself, I ended up delivering equipment to Mr Bale apartment in London. Before I left I quickly asked him, would he ever play Bruce/Batman again. His reply, "I don't think I can do anything more with the character, so probably not"

[@VorchaKali]

He has actually expressed interest as of late of coming back again but only if Christopher Nolan returns as well

[@maritzanav212]

Thank you for the shout out. It's been so long since I seen this movie and all I remember is Tom Hardy as Bane. My favorite scene from Bane is when he says, "You merely adopted the dark, I was born in it, molded by it." He's such an amazing actor

[@stephenbruce4298]

18:29 Gotta love that Officer Dangle is Bruce Wayne’s doctor! 🤣🤣🤣

[@thunderconcerto9807]

Begin from depth of darkness Struggle to be The Dark Knight Rises to light of day This trilogy will never get old❤

[@Taskown247]

Man you guys are just killing it on both this channel and the gaming channel. Grind never stops eh. Keep up the work you guys, love the content and yall

[@molliver69]

It doesn't happen often , but I remember the standing ovation for this at the theater I saw this in .

[@gr8mystery]

"Some of those details might need your help", best line in the movie, hands down.

[@THEComicNerd7750]

Watching this in the theaters at 12 years old cemented Batman as my favorite DC character for me. Watching it these years later, it’s still my favorite Batman movie.

[@dillionplm4024]

The goat reactors of movies so happy you reacted to my favorite trilogy

[@terrylandess6072]

Because the Animated Series was drawn on black paper so any light needed to be added, it appears several cinematographers appreciated how this created atmosphere.

[@salamunga5645]

This performance from Anne Hathaway is the cherry on the cake of her career

[@TheMaskedChef7]

I have to say the Joker is scary in his own way but Tom Hardy as Bane sent shivers down my spine probably because he’s quite a realistic character and could easily exist in real life.

[@rogu3rooster]

Let's face it, if Anne Hathaway steps into your car looking as she does and asks for a ride you're not going to say no!

[@J05H..]

Hans Zimmer never fails on a film score 💪🏻 I saw Him in 2016 in Bournemouth where one of the pieces they preformed was Rise. To see that plus Time from Inception…it was mental! It was fascinating to be able to sit there and see it all played live in front of you 🙌🏻 genuinely, if anyone ever gets the opportunity, go see him preform 👌🏻

[@goodtim3s394]

Also the double meaning of Ras saying his wife was'taken' considering the movies :D But the angles, the meanings like the pit escape , the vision of him as a kid.. Nolan is a genius

[@Bettsytim]

'Wow' is the right way of putting it. This trilogy has everything! From amazingly well written and directed stories, stunning action, and so well acted across the board. The music from Hans Zimmer is a masterpiece of cinematic composing. These films never lose their impact, and I'll continue to enjoy them no matter how many times I watch them.

[@cabbage_cat]

Me when gen alpha is saying skibidi gyatt rizz ohio: "You merely adopted the cringe. I was born in it, molded by it."

[@tenchraven]

Don't encourage them

[@Loki_Loki01]

This is the movie (and also probably Warrior from 2011) that got me fully hooked on Tom Hardy and have watched all his movies ever since then. Such a great actor

[@KHAOE1]

Love him in "Warrior"!!!

[@Loki_Loki01]

@KHAOE1 Yeah that movie is awesome. It's a crime that it actually lost money at the box office too. Underappreciated when it first came out

[@coachellyn]

Have they watched Warrior? LOVE that movie! One of my favorites and definitely these two movies got me majorly hooked on him, too! He's phenomenal!

[@Loki_Loki01]

@coachellyn nah that haven't done Warrior but yeah its great. Joel Edgerton an underrated actor too i reakon. I might watch it again tonight now haha

[@red_jedi_knight1]

After watching Deadpool and Wolverine, there's a reason why DC has its own multiverse and have so many Batmans. And the characters that surrounds that story.

[@SeventhMarch]

This trilogy is just beyond awesome. The emotions it brings out is unbelievable. i cried emotionally watching these in theaters.

[@Renzlr_7]

It wasn't miniature work with the Tumbler, they actually build the vehicle. There's an episode of Jay Leno's Garage where he looks at it and actually drives it. If I can remember correctly they made three, one with a V8 engine, one which was electric powered and a third for something else, not sure though. Jay drove the V8 Tumbler.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

It was both! ❤️

[@Renzlr_7]

@@OfficialMediaKnights Oh yeah, I guess it would have to be, doubt they actually drove the things on the roofs of buildings and off bridges. Duh, haha.

[@t2mediumplayer47]

I wanted to rewatch this trilogy by myself but I'm glad I could do that with you guys

[@nicholassala5195]

Fun fact: the football player that survived the blast is none other than Hines Ward, number 86 for the Pittsburg Steelers. Now, he's a wide receiver coach for Arizona State University. On another note, Michael Caine's performance at the graves crushes me every damn time. He thought he had lost not only the last member of the Wayne family but, in essence, a son. Also, the ending scene where they see each other is a callback to the previous film, in my opinion. "Sometimes the truth isn't good enough. Sometimes people deserve more. Sometimes people deserve to have their faith rewarded."

[@macentertainment8134]

My old martial arts instructor taught Ann and was her stunt double big love to Maxine Whittaker. I was also in this as 1 of banes henchmen :) fun times.

[@batmanvsjoker7725]

"What happens if I take off the mask?" "It'll be extremely painful..." "You're a tough guy" "...for you"

[@HighlyRegarded420]

Possibly the biggest writing-related meme from this movie and you managed to fuck it up lol

[@jebVlogs556]

I loved that scene 😅tells me that 🤣 Bane isn't the guy to try to side swipe his car,cause hell come 🫴 out than throw you around like ragdoll 😅

[@cesarcerda9682]

That last act and especially last minute in the theaters on opening day is a memory I’ll always remember.

[@LezArtist5iG]

44:22 That soundtrack is a beast, by Hans Zimmer for all three movies 🖖😊

[@p.dariusbeliard7996]

This was great acting from, Tom Hardy, Christian Bale, Anthony Hopkins is Alfred. Joseph Gordon- Levitts could of been a great Robin🔥

[@dylweezy117]

Ohhh man, I needed something good to watch! Loving your channel, thanks so much for these uploads!

[@pelidonte]

❤ Even though I like the second one more, I love how this one was filmed! I noticed this has so much dialogue that's so emotionally deep, and yet at the same time their delivery of those lines with such subtlety. Their expressions are seemingly emotionless, but that's what makes already deep emotions even deeper! Such a high contrast and it's so ingenious.

[@bethanyromano2740]

Loved your reaction! I remember seeing this in theaters and actually crying because of Batman’s sacrifice. That twist at the end? *chefs kiss* The football game was actually played by real football players with some stunt actors, specifically the Pittsburgh Steelers since the movie was filmed in Pittsburgh. The one running with the ball was Hines Ward, and the one who kicked the ball was actually Luke Ravenstahl the mayor of Pittsburgh at the time of filming.

[@ВладиславПетров-г5б]

YAYYY, my fav “Batman”-Nolan movie! Thank you!❤❤❤

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Thank you for watching! We hope you enjoyed ❤️

[@TheJerbol]

Bane just resting the side of his hand on the dude's shoulder, 'Do you feel in charge?' Great physical direction/acting. Also they did an amazing job at turning 5'9 Tom Hardy into what looks like a 6'3 monster. He's actually 3" shorter than Christian Bale

[@frankdaniels9819]

It's cool that each movie has a double meaning. Batman Begins, the start of his journey to becoming Batman. The Dark Knight, not only was it about Batman, but it was the Dark Night when Harvey Dent turned into Two Face, and what happened with the ferries. Dark Knight Rises, the meaning of the word Rise was throughout the while movie. Fun little fact the scientist was in The Core.

[@kristymerrill2496]

This score IS epic. I can listen to the last track over and over . It starts with Batman flying out of Gotham with the bomb to right before the credits start. Magnificent!

[@godzillarwby1755]

Have you noticed that each villain has disguised as a henchman?

[@IgorMuratikov]

Great conclusion to one of the best movie trilogies😊 It's really nice to revisit these films with you guys and listen to your ideas about them, best movie reaction channel ❤
