It appears Warner Bros decided to copyright claim this video well over a month after its released, and forced us to mute a big chunk right at the very end. Unfortunately nothing we can do :(

[@bierkofbauer]

Add subtitles (closed captions)

[@RawenWarCrow]

I don't know sh*t about it, but I know at least one youtuber who's recording his voice and whatever else he's doing on different channels, that way for any reason he can still have one or another when there's a problem... Like if you must cut the sound of a movie, you still can keep your voice for the viewers to hear your reaction for a scene they already know 😉 (well, if you kept your original...)

[@CineBingeReact]

@@RawenWarCrow thats actually what all reactors already do, and we already do that. but thats only useful during editing. when a video is rendered and uploaded to YT, it is compressed into a single linear track; and when copyright comes along and claims a video, forcing chunks to be muted, there is no separating them. Its just silence or delete. believe me, this is our livelihood so we've looked at every possible avenue.

[@RawenWarCrow]

@@CineBingeReact Oh I believe you, you seems to work hard for your channel... Well, that sucks, but we'll have to deal with it as much as you do, we'll stay for the great content, whatever the d*ck moves YT and big names will make. Keep up the good work, and cheers from the other side of the pond 🙂

This trilogy gets the core reason why the character of batman is so loved hes interesting complex a bit tragic and yet rises made bruce wayne even cooler and reminded us of the human side of batman somehow...despite his skills...bravo for that...it had never been done fully explored until this movie...comics copy it after the fact but it was an original execution of that idea fully committing to it...comics tip toe around bruce wayne being more of a mask for batman and that being his true self and him enjoying that role in a self torture loathing being needed and liking the risk and gamble dream tension of it all..he's just as psychotic as his villians and enjoys the hunt and battle in a way...he is a loner ends up alone but it was worth it..this movie inverted that and showed he had to live get happy and let batman die not bruce...like in the comics where bruce feels like he died and batman lives on...

[@andrelima7425]

Yes, Nolan did that for real. he crashed the plane over some deserted region

[@fab647]

The wings falling off arent IIRC. Just the towing part

[@razkable]

I like that about the film...it feels tangible and real and the writing is semi real life batman so it's harder to write that and less deus ex machina and cartooney feeling with nonsense occurring

[@deathgrinderb3284]

can u imagine not getting the take. like on tropic thunder.

[@Anino_Makata]

@@razkable That's really the reason why Nolan's Batman is still heralded by many to be the best. While perhaps not the most comic accurate, this is without a doubt the most realistic. And I guess that's also the reason why Snyder's Batman came out so stale. Just a very blunt injection back into the hyperactive comic world, with no proper setup.

“Was that the best take they had?!” Yeah, that seems to be pretty universal reaction to that moment. 🤦‍♂️

[@firecat4529]

I think even the actress was surprised that they took that take because they had better ones in her opinion.

[@AlasdairGR]

That death scene is so easy to fix (in hindsight, of course). The only thing you need to change is instead of dying immediately after her speech, she could’ve just stayed alive while Batman and the rest got the bomb hooked onto the Bat. And everything proceeds just like it is already in the movie, but you have Talia succumb to her injuries right after she hears the cheers of the Gothamites when Batman gets the bomb out safely over the bay. You just let her die later after she realizes *she’s* the one who failed and that makes the death so much more impactful.

[@Narutoanime16g]

Her death always makes me laugh lol

[@Tantalus010]

@Firecat She was. I saw an interview with her where she said she was surprised they went with that one because she felt that was the worst take out of all of them.

[@godmagnus]

They might as well have had her leave her mouth open with her tongue hanging out and CGI'd her eyes into X X

Bane snapping Batman's back over his knee is the iconic comic book cover from the story arc, and a critical moment in establishing the unprecedented threat Bane poses to Bruce.

[@mrenygma181]

@@azazello1784 Well, Bane is clocked at actual genius levels. Also, he severed Bruce's spinal column. Real life, you don't get back up from that.

[@nyuszicsib]

The final frame where we can see Bruce and Selina is so unnecessary. Without it, only with Alfred smile, it would be a much better scene, but I guess they had to add it, because some viewer would not understand the scene.

[@Torthrodhel]

It didn't work for me. He's gonna get recognised instantly. It's even quite unrealistic that he's sitting there without already being accosted by people. There's just no way that happens.

[@thedefinitionisthis]

@@Torthrodhel Depends where he is. We never get a sense in the trilogy that Bruce is some kind of global icon. He's probably only famous in Gotham, maaaaaybe in the US, at the most. He's not a movie star or some kind of Elon Musk-type guy putting his face at the forefront everywhere. Plus, considering the 8-year time jump between "The Dark Knight" and "The Dark Knight Rises", whatever fame Bruce had would've faded to a degree. If he and Selena are overseas as implied, it's palpable that they would live a relatively hassle-free life together.

[@gacchan]

Bane is one of my favourite villains, and though they altered his backstory somewhat in this movie, they still kept him smart and strong. In the comics his intelligence rivals Bruce's.

[@Toltex]

Harley Quinn definitely has the best Bane.

Deathstroke has a similar backstory in Son of Batman; the best versions of Bane are definitely in BTAS and Young Justice

I agree. It's hard not to admire someone with so much grit, and resolve. And also someone who is not just a tool of some mastermind, but who can and will do everything he asks of others, and more.

[@B3RyL]

For sure. Bane is not just a super-soldier, but also a super-genius. He has the raw strength to break Batman's back, and the intellect to corner him. Him and the Joker are two of the most dangerous villains Batman has ever faced, though for different reasons.

[@STNeish]

That scene, "Do you feel in charge?" has to be the best scene in the film. Hardy absolutely slamdunks that moment.

[@MrChaotic4]

Tom Hardy can show more emotion with just his eyes than most actors can with their entire face.

[@Boomer502CG]

Big shoutout to Hans Zimmer for the score. Also, if you notice, Nolan built all 3 movies on a core premise: Batman begins- fear Dark knight-chaos Dark knight rises- despair. All 3 focused solely on those core aspects, and he did it so brilliantly.

[@pourmydrank]

12:49 Yeah I noticed that too. In the comics, when Wonder Woman uses the Lasso of Truth on Batman and asks him for his identity, he simply replies "Batman". It goes to show that Bruce Wayne is the mask and Batman is the person

[@adrianmorales5770]

The quote: "A hero can be anyone. Even a man doing something as simple and reassuring as putting a coat around a young boy’s shoulders to let him know that the world hadn’t ended" just comprises, imo, the whole essence of Batman and why is at the same level of most heroes even without superpowers... a hero can be anyone.

[@WingManFang1]

And thus “Kickass” was born.

[@AGD_27]

I also find it funny to think that means in the entire time Jim Gordon was a cop he only ever thought to comfort 1 kid and it was a billionaire orphan because if he comforted kids whenever he came across child victims in his entire career he would be like "well that could be 50 different kids". If you think about it seems like Gordon was trying to get some money from the billionaire family.

[@razkable]

I always tell people batman as a character is iron man spiderman captain america thor hulk all in one....he holds such weight and marvel basically split one of the best characters in fiction into 5 different smaller parts of him as separate heroes for money....he's deep and his worth is like more than all 5 off them combined...

@@qwbhasdkjejfkek but the quote was "a hero can be something a simple as putting your coat around a child's shoulders who just thought his world has ended" not "so you remember that time the 2 most famous billionaires in the city were murdered and you helped out their kid". What Batman says in that moment could apply to a poor kid who lost 1 parent or a sibling or his house burnt down and his parent/parents were in hospital or maybe a family member was kidnapped, or something like that, the quote is not specific to Bruce.

[@jjc5871]

I absolutely loved the stadium scene. They filmed that at Heinz Field and a handful of the players for Gotham were members of the Pittsburgh Steelers. The dude returning the kickoff is Hines Ward. He retired a few years ago but that dude always had a smile on his face when he was on the field.

[@Jonno_B251]

I will never forget seeing this in cinemas, I hope you continue with the Nolan theme, Dunkirk is definitely worth a watch

[@jacket5456]

I think the majority of Bruce Wayne's physical ailments come from the major fall he took. He was shot first by Dent, then he wasn't able to break his fall and took a big hit. Just for clarification. Also, the fighting that happened before that probably didn't help.

[@mokane86]

@Sean Davis yes, but he's not just "wearing hockey pads" either..

[@razkable]

@Sean Davis yet he can be superheroic and do things that surprise the gods like when he manages to impress darkseid with his mindset of willing to kill his pals to save the world for example..he never has to make the choice but he thought about it.he understands higher concepts and choices not blurring them as grey but seeing situations as black and white logically over emotions basically and he is the best detective fully trained martial artist deceptive ninja and genius inventor... who creates the gadgets...with money for days

[@3Rayfire]

Did you guys ever notice. In a way you've seen The Pit before. _"Why do we fall Bruce? So we can learn to pick outselves back up."_ If you look at it, the Pit looks just like The Well Bruce fell into as a child. And I will always love the last shot, what a pun. A New Dark Knight Rises.

[@razkable]

I love how John Blake throws his badge away and quits the force...such a robin thing to do...people may not like how this new cop in the movie universe knows who batman is by a look and may think the scene he tells gordon that he made a unoble choice when bane reads the truth note is a bit out of character pointlessly short sided emotional over logical as a response especially believing this terrorist's word like that for no evidently confirmed proven valid real reason from gordon himself so a bit premature and it may be conflicting for the audience as gordon comes off crazed wrong but also regretful hurt and in the end correct so john comes off a bit whiny but that added depth to the character and reminds us why he is beloved became nightwing leaving batman upon outgrowing him disagreeing with him and why he deserves spotlight and is a complex well developed hero too in his own ethical moral code way...robin is stubborn and unique he brings a true morality to the job cause unlike batman his pain is not regret or anger it's just true hurt and justice good natured...it's not self loathing or to make it up to his dead well meaning parents...him quitting the unfair police force was perfect as he explained his reasoning to gordon...who accepted what he said and taught him that..and he will help gordon who will not know that the new batman is this kid and not the same one...

The biggest cue for why the child in the pit couldn't have been Bane (and I didn't realize that back then either), is that Bane literally said earlier in the movie "I didn't see light until I was already a man", so the child that reached the light by leaving the pit had to be someone else.

[@waterbeauty85]

Being a fan of the comic, I could recognize where Nolan borrowed elements from and how he glued them together in ways that weren't seamless and how taking them out of their original context didn't do them justice, but being a Batman fan, I loved the movie for its emotional effectiveness, its artistry and its high intentions. However, when more objective critics pick it apart for its flaws, I can only shrug and say "Well, you're not wrong."

[@anonymes2884]

Yeah, this. Partly because i'd already had 'The Dark Knight', which for me as a fan ticks basically every box for what I want from a Batman movie, I was willing to overlook a lot of '...Rises' flaws because it rounds off the trilogy nicely. But there are plenty of entirely valid criticisms of this film.

Most of the "fLaWs" some insist this film has are nothing more than minutiae people love to complain about. The fact remains that TDKR was/is one of the most critically acclaimed films of 2012 and the second-best film in the trilogy. TDK>TDKR>BB

Joker was originally going to be the "judge" in the kangaroo court scene. After Heath Ledger died, it was switched to Scarecrow, thus making Cillian Murphy's character the only villain who appears in all three movies. And Murphy did a good job, but I can only imagine how epic it would've been if Heath Ledger's Joker had been in that scene.

[@blueroninstudios]

Bane was also jsut as terrifying and smart and calculated and dangerous here as he usually had been in the comics. His first appearance, he broke the inmates out of Arkham Asylum, so Bruce had his hands full running from place to place coralling supervillains until the time he got back to Wayne Manor he was so absoulutely exhausted he could barely stand, and Bane was waiting for him at the entrance to his house, sidestepped every attack Batman threw at him, lifted him over his head, and broke his back. It took Batman a few months to heal, retrrain himself and "rebirth" himself as Batman. Bane was legit!

33:35 - I don’t know about today, but in medieval Europe (and possibly other places), there was a type of dungeon known as the oubliette (same origin as the French word oublier, which means ‘to forget’) that was essentially a deep hole only accessible from a hatch high above the floor called an angstloch (which could derive from German, meaning ‘fear hole’ or if from Latin ‘narrow hole’). Once lowered in, the prisoner was generally just left there to die of starvation or dehydration. Some oubliettes were so narrow that the prisoner would have to stand and could scarcely even turn around, which is pretty similar to immurement, where a prisoner would be placed in a small space within the walls of a castle and sealed off with fresh stone or bricks.

[@chitown7732]

I love how you said “the joker would’ve loved that” in reference to scarecrow being the judge. I read somewhere that Nolan’s plans since the start of the trilogy was to have the JOKER be the judge. I never fact checked or researched but that’s what I heard. Would’ve loved to see it play out.

It's not the mask modulating his voice. He does it at will, cause he's used to do it whenever he is cape and cowl. He changed to his Bruce voice in two scenes with Rachel, when she passes out inside the Batmobile in _Batman Begins,_ and after the fall off the penthouse in _The Dark Knight._

[@D25Bev]

Plane scene was done for real in Scotland. Skydiver died shooting it.

[@smartalec2001]

35:16 Batman gave Blake the little grenade to throw, to warn anyone behind the wall to back away before the Bat's cannons opened it up.

[@madpaduk]

For such an American icon it's amazing there are so few quality parts played by Americans, just Lucius Fox, Harvey Dent, Rachel x2, Blake and Selina. Batman, Bane, Alfred, Ducard, Gordon, Falcone - British Joker - Australian Scarecrow - Irish Miranda/Talia - French

15:33 “strawberries…are packed…with fiber”

[@JustSomeDude2161]

22:00 Never has a moment in a movie left me feeling so intimidated as an audience member.

[@RickJames-wf2rm]

For me was when he destroyed batman in the sewer "Aahh yes, I was wondering what would break first, your spirit..........or your body"

[@zamhobby9662]

Bruce still talk with growl voice to the people who already knows his identity, because he does not want to mistake speak with normal voice with other people who does not knows his identity. So when he in Batman suit, he will always speak in growl voice to avoid revealing his identity. I can't understand why no one understand this.....

[@maximillianosaben]

34:33 onward - As questionable and silly as it is to set it up, the point of the Bat Signal is to instill hope and bring together the army of those fighting against Bane and his army. It would be goofy to see Bruce setting it up, but the notion behind it is excellent.

[@mathewdebol923]

I love that you referenced Buffy when Alfred left!!! It’s just what I thought when I first watched this movie 😁

[@gregflorez7891]

A beautiful ending to an amazing trilogy 🦇

[@sohanm3051]

There's no pridom like that but there is a water storage built by kings in India and that prison was inspired by it .

[@stephenridolfi6464]

I know I'm late to the party, but practical effects doesn't necessarily mean that there isn't trickery. Models, mat paintings, animatronics and stop motion are all practical effects. Practical just means they are not CGI.

[@Cheepchipsable]

Practical effects make it easier for the actors. Really well done CGI is often indistinguishable, and is often used for everyday scenes.

[@GauravSharma-dy8xv]

Lol when she guesses that the child is girl 😂

[@tehdipstick]

"He's the only one without a mask." Bruce Wayne is the mask.

[@jmhaces]

The fact that in that final scene where Alfred sees Bruce from afar Selina is wearing Bruce's mom's pearl necklace really sells for me that they actually retired together for real.

[@TheBitterSwede]

It wasn't a hole in the ground, but a prison used to exist that was just as hopeless. Alcatraz was built to be exactly that, no way out, abandon all hope.

[@BigBoss-zi5ss]

The reason He threw the little bomb first before the bat was to warn the cops to clear away..also Talia has the brand scar same as Bane if the audience looked close they could put together she is a villain

[@pinkzeppelin5343]

❤️❤️d your reaction. Most of the guy's insights and questions are spot on !! And YES !! They did a SKYHOOK of the plane for REAL in the opening sequence. The Semi/Truck Flip of The Dark Knight is 100% Real. The is a making video on both. Nolan is NOT Kevin Feige...The Trend-setter hates Green Screen...This ain't MCU CGI Garbage. Nolan's Trilogy is the definitive GOAT in terms of comic-book adaptations. PERIOD.

[@emilyhannan7302]

I remember seeing some of the filming in person because it was filmed in Pittsburgh hence the stadium and the black and gold colors.

[@TenTonNuke]

"Is Tom Hardy really that huge?" Clearly you've never seen Warrior.

[@maurer3d]

35:21 The small explosion was to warn anybody near the wall to move away.

[@SteveNathn]

19:07 sounds like an NBA commentator describing a player. Great movie and great reaction

[@09Raffytaffy]

"You know how Michael Keaton is my Bat Man?, Um, Michelle Pfeiffer is my Cat Woman." THE REACTOR WE NEED!

[@christinadoxstader3004]

While I enjoyed this movie a lot, I really wanted to know what it could have been if Heath hadn't died because I am quite certain Joker would have been involved in this movie. Would we still have had Bane and Talia? Would there have been such a large gap in the timeline? Just something to think about.

[@kuttykutty4795]

Talia would've created a minimum impact considering the joint forces of Joker & Bane. 8 yr gap wouldn't be necessary if Batman has to fight both of them, agent of chaos & pain literally. Initially Nolan was not interested to make part 3 coz of demise of heath ledger, but the producers and the convincing storyline from his brother Jonathan made him to agree for part 3

[@the.sketch.projekt8851]

Fun fact: The CEO John Daggett (the guy trying to absorb Wayne Enterprises) is actually a character from Batman: The Animated Series. He is based on Roland Daggett who is the man responsible for creating the villain, Clayface.

[@NetAndyCz]

39:25 It was the only take they had, I think. She was supposed to die off-screen, and they took this one just in case, but then realised they did not have enough references to her death in the footage to make it work.

[@iknowjack316]

The climb, is still one of the most powerful scenes ever.

[@SaraTiggs]

I'm not sure where I heard this, but that spot played by the Scarecrow where you said "Joker would have loved this.." was supposed to have been played by Heath Ledger. Sadly, he passed away before this movie came out.

[@pluflop]

My first introduction to Tom Hardy was in Bronson as Britain's most violent prisoner, crazy movie

[@jesseashmore8426]

28:50 "No one in or out." Except for Bruce, who escapes a prison in India and somehow gets back to Gotham.

[@kendrinawaskoro3031]

35:00 nice little detail there..the small bomb is to alert the cops who trapped down there to stand back before the actual explosion

[@georgesmith6218]

In medieval Muslim countries a common practice was zindan- essentially just a deep pit covered with a grate. Its more of a large cell rather than the whole prison. In Buhara there is a UNESCO museum that preserved a complex of these 5-6m deep.

[@georgeplimpton9429]

You're the first one's that I've seen notice that Bruce was the only one NOT wearing a mask at the party. But in the last fight with Bane, that was the only time Batman appeared in the daylight. And Selena was wearing Bruce's mother's pearls at the very end.

[@BogusLion]

35:11 because he wanted to warn the cops down there he was going to remove the rubble with a bigger blast, so they wouldn't be near it and get hurt ;)

[@cherokeeclaypoolray6958]

Not sure if this has ever been brought up, but during the rooftop fight between Bane’s thugs and Batman/Catwoman, there’s a background actor who I assume missed his mark to fight. The resolution? To kick his own ass in the background. He takes hits from nothing and they just kept it in there.

[@ThePawKingdom777]

The prison really exists in Jodhpur,Rajasthan (India) near by a big fort but now open for tourists

[@nickinskeep]

My favorite part is when you can't hear anything for a long time lol

[@roma540]

35:12 to alert those who's inside to stay back, apparently. 35:35 how though if his mouth isn't covered? Plus, in Dark Rises he's done the same voice without suit. That scene on party, when he was going to change for batman costume.

[@mokane86]

Yeah its just his batman persona voice. Second nature and would take actual effort to speak in Bruce voice. Might even rattle his schizophrenic focus... 😅 Also the college humor episodes are pretty funny on this topic 😄👍

[@derps0n839]

The little grenade was the warning for the people on the other side to get back before the big one hits
