The Dark Knight Rises - Every Batman Movie Reviewed and Ranked

Tim cosplaying as Bane and Greg as Commission Gordon is pretty cool.....then there's freaking Nick🤣

[@SyFyWire]

We're gonna need some 🍿 for this

[@razkable]

they made some stupid points some good points but in the end nothing they said made me change my mind...9/10 film ....its got some plotholes but outside of that its great..i can look past plotholes in a supehero film this grand...thats going to happen ..they still need to sell toys film it well make it dramatic but still leave clues so its predictable for fans who want to predict and all that so its not out of nowhere when twists occur...theres fanservice for the character and story of batman in this film..it does bruce wayne justice

@J. Gess Yeah, they're literally reviewing all Batman movies as part of one project, but using this outrageous sliding scale (that isn't clear to anyone). Greg seems actively annoyed by this movie's slight inconsistencies but will ignore the part of Batman v Superman where Batman watches tape of Aquaman with the trident, but then we find out that Aquaman didn't have the trident yet later in the story.

[@razkable]

I think rises is the best of the three films so this is not my criticism I just try to tell what other people seem to feel to understand their issues.....in the end i feel enjoyment or exploration of themes helps people during a movie even if depressing stuff occurs and from what I can gather this film is so sad and the tone is so intense for so long without much payoff people just get bored disinterested upset or angry watching it because its themes are too generic simple or not explored enough and sadly its fun action is limited(like the scene where batman fist appears is played as a negative afterwards by alfred so your only batman moment for a hug chunk of the film is bad according to the script that has characters say they want and need him back which makes people mad cause its jarring) and since dark knight rises does sorta built to this cliche no way out doomsday scenario and theres nothing more to talia besides the twist and bane besides the plan of ra's it just feels hollow on rewatch especially..they are not really trying to change gotham and we as an audience already know this early on as told by the film itself so a lot of the gotham scenes mean nothing to us on rewatch especially like in the end they just want to give hope and take it away..thats so boring and they want to break bruce's spirit?..why?..why not kill the one guy who can stop you?...when hes crippled?.....like the film chooses to be grand and have big new main characters but it really is a intimate bruce wayne story in the end not batman's...so it feels weird that this is the film where the worst situation occurs for batman and we have more main characters then before...and where are guards outside of the prison in case someone gets out?..why is bane in the prison just to appear in gotham again right after?..its jarring and it could of been done with a t.v. he did not have to go to the prison himself just to give a quick speech to bruce..thats so stupid..in 2012 just video chat on a laptop..save yourself all that time..cause its bizarre how he can just fly back an forth and left the city for a few days it seems...makes his next appearance at the football game even more weird...how did batman get back in the city?..its very bizarre how nolan just cuts that stuff out and edits the film like it should be longer and he said its not important even if he shot that extra stuff ...i feel people do not get as invested in these characters as I did over the past 2 films or the new ones or bruce's journey to not need batman... they cared more about the themes...oh well..they don't care about bruce enough

[@edusszfx]

Talia al Ghul's death baffles me everytime I watch this movie! Was that their only take, and had to use it? It's horrific!

[@ERoBB1]

Yeah it's so weird. She's a great actress and Nolan is a great director and it's a big important scene at the end of the movie... and that's what they went with?

[@razkable]

it feels like nolan by then was kinda done with batman and just wanted to finish the film..he clearly wanted to move on by the end of that film..

[@onori6812]

Tim looks sooo perfect as Bane. 😂

[@nicktiznado8492]

He looks so perfect as Victor Zsaz 😂

You missed the main motivation to the villains plan: punish Bruce. They tortured Gotham for 6 months so Bruce will suffer more psychologically for what he did to Ra's and The League.

[@Tallahassee21]

Let's be honest. At a certain point they're just nick picking the movie.

[@dee85ist]

That nick intro as catwoman was great😂 Fun fact going by Nolan's timeline bruce was batman for only 2 yrs, tops 3.

[@CoolDadSweaters]

Batman Begins takes place in 2005, Dark Knight is roughly 2007 or 2008, and The Dark Knight Rises is 8 years after the last Batman sighting, back in 07/08 meaning somewhere around 2016 maybe 2017.

[@dee85ist]

@@CoolDadSweaters that's when the movies were released, Bruce turns 30 years old in Batman Begins. In the dark knight,the Joker States let's rewind the clock back a year when Batman came on the scene then he retires for 8 years and comes back so roughly two years maybe three.

[@razkable]

i am sad no one was dressed as batman and talia....

[@themadafaka6839]

That's why that 8 year absence of him being batman is that even stupider as a narrative choice.

[@infinitybelt]

Imagine criticizing this movie for making leaps in logic or not making sense in terms of motivations, and then praising a movie like Batman vs Superman. Greg you're great man, but you need reevaluate your cinematic biases.

[@michealcapdor9104]

I think you're missing the point. BvS is a dumb superhero movie at heart, its a comic book movie and supposed to be basic and silly in its intentions. The Dark Knight movie are supposed to be cinematic masterpieces that happen to have Batman in them. In the trilogy the leaps in logic can't be excused because it doesn't suit the universe that has been established.

[@infinitybelt]

@@michealcapdor9104 False, Batman Vs Superman was intended to be gritty and serious. It was not positioned to be just a "dumb superhero movie", but rather a deconstruction of Batman and Superman as characters. This is incredibly obvious with how they pivoted the tone drastically with later movies because their gritty realistic take wasn't meshing with there comic book superhero 3rd acts that completely fall short of this tone. The Dark Knight Rises is no different then the other Nolan movies and demands the same of the viewer as every other Nolan movie. People just had incredibly unrealistic expectations of the 3rd film and when it didn't live up to there idealized version of a third film is this epic saga, they shit all over it for reasons that can be pointed out on literally every other Nolan movie. The difference here is that they liked those other films enough to overlook these same criticisms. They literally even say it in The Dark Knight in review.

[@aarons.2323]

@@infinitybelt The flaws are a bit more glaring in this one though because a) You don't have Heath Ledger, and b) It's not Batman Begins which as many might remember was the FOLLOW UP TO BATMAN & ROBIN. The history with these movies can hold a lot of weight to how they're perceived, and the problems with Batman Begins and especially The Dark Knight can be overlooked a little easier because of the times they were released in. That matters. The Dark Knight Rises had the baggage of being released after The Dark Knight which contained probably one of the best acting performances in a movie ever. It was never going to meet expectations because of that, for sure, but the problems with the plot and characterization seem to be a bit more prevalent, too. And so, it's easy to pick the movie apart and say it's a "bad movie" because of those problems. I don't think it is, and I like it quite a bit still. But I also liked Batman V Superman like Greg. This entire group pretty much said that X-Men Days of Future Past wasn't as good as most of the MCU , which is downright a laughable thing to say to me since I think it's better than at least half of them. They said that Spider-Man 2 isn't good and doesn't hold up (it does). It just goes to show that people have different tastes.

[@TrAnMu]

I think context matters here. I don’t know if it’s cinematic biases as much as holding the sequel to the dark knight to a higher standard. I don’t think the expectations were high at all for BvS where as TDKR had near insurmountable expectations.

[@razkable]

i hate how these people who did not get what they wanted act like everyone should feel the same as they did and they don't see what positives it has or what others got out of it...bruce's story hit home..a movie does not make 1.5 billion globally without people really enjoying it...if it was as flawed as they claim why did people see it 6-7 times...you don't get that much without repeat viewings

I think it’s because people had such high hopes for this to be better than TDK, but it’s difficult to pull off something amazing to an already phenomenal sequel. At this was a solid conclusion to one of the best superhero trilogy of all time.

[@razkable]

i think people judge it harshly cause its not the dark knight ...the expected it to be less about bruce wayne and more about themes ...like people are sick of the whole bad guy blows up city for reasons shtick cause it just does not challenge us on a intellectual level so its hard to care as much on rewatch about most of the villain stuff ....like maybe if bane's plan really was to change gotham through this revolution we could care more instead of just having him lying and you know secretly going to blow them up no matter what they did or maybe if we did not know that he was planning to kill them anyways like we were never told of his lie so we think we can believe him but at the end it turns out he was lying it would better as a twist? I don't know....plus if they made talia more conflicted at the end due to her feelings for bruce it would work better since we would realize that sex scene and all that talks they had actually got through to her and mattered and like in the comics she loves him for real....instead bane's plan is just a facade and talia is just evil..with little motivation to be..smdh...and her love of and speeches with bruce are totally pointless ..smdh..these are fundamental flaws with the film ...it makes the villain's so boring..they just want to kill people..and yet wasted 5 months to do so?...why not kill them all with a gun over that 5 months daily?..whats the point of the bomb?..its not instant it has a timer...for 5 months...an the film makes us get invested in them only for them to be recycling the same motivations as the first film's villain...smdh..really?..lame

[@MatthewNovak]

This movie is much better than people give it credit for. Once you get past the weird Bruce Wayne choices in the beginning, it's a great movie.

[@razkable]

i feel it should of been split up into 2 films cause it does feel rushed and its hard to be as invested into these new characters besides bane cause they have short scenes and were not in the other 2 films...talia catwoman robin need more time to be developed...period...all the stuff with bane bruce alfred fox and batman is great ...no complaints there cause they have already been set up...

[@razkable]

i think people harp too much on small nitpicky moments or plotholes in reviews ... or the less engaging storyline cause its themes are simpler compared to dark knight as it focused more on our investment and emotional personal connection to bruce wayne rather than this world...but thats the only flaws it has...no one praises the other stuff it does well or admit its a great film on its own..they just compare it to the past film an thats unfair...its a choice nolan made to ground the story with bruce like begins was...bruce in dark knight is almost non existent and as a trilogy thats a flaw honestly cause the other 2 films are about him....he is the same character for 98% of that 2nd film...and that is why we follow harvey and joker way more...an batman..thats a problem that film has not rises since thats what the trilogy is suppose to be about.

[@reflectionist]

BANE Let me tell you the truth about Harvey Dent. In the words of Gotham’s Police Commissioner, James Gordon... BANE ’The truth about Harvey Dent is simple in only one regard - it has been hidden for too long. After his devastating injuries, Harvey’s mind has recovered no better than his mutilated face. He was a broken, dangerous man, not the crusader for justice that I, James Gordon, have portrayed him to be for the last eight years. Harvey’s rage was indiscriminate. Psychopathic. He held my family at gunpoint, then fell to his death in the struggle over my son’s life. The Batman did not murder Harvey Dent - he saved my boy. Then took the blame for Harvey’s appalling crimes, so that I could, to my shame, build a lie around this fallen idol.’ BANE (V.O.) ’I praised the madman who tried to murder my own child. BANE ’The things we did in Harvey’s name brought desperately needed security to our streets... But I can no longer live with my lie. It is time to trust the people of Gotham with the truth, and it is time for me to resign.

[@GetGoodGirl1561]

he threw away his badge

[@dv2244]

I really enjoy this movie and I think it is a good ending to this trilogy. MY biggest complaint is that it feels like it should've been split in two parts. The story moves way too fast and it honestly takes away from it. The movie should've ended with Bane breaking Batmans back.

[@razkable]

right?..and you can have more villains in the first film like riddler ivy harley maybe even bring back scarecrow more and (penguin maybe) as the catalyst for batman returning as they broke out of arkham prison together and he has to get back in the grove before bane shows up..maybe not kill off joe chill gamble or two face so they can break them out and give us the rogues gallery batman is famous for...minus joker of course...then have bane and talia have more set up same for catwoman and blake who maybe help batman catch these criminals in the first film so we care more about them in the next film and they are set up better so in the climax they don't feel shoehorned into this series last movie...and then when bane releases them again its bad really bad for the people...and then alfred can not disappear for so long cause that and the talia stuff can be more explored maybe make her regret her choice and love bruce so shes more nuanced and conflicted in the end?..ever think about that nolan?...why is she so cliche evil with no motivation?

[@spencermalley10]

The problem with trying to split in two means Bruce spends most of the second movie in the prison pit.

[@reflectionist]

So, Dark Knight Rises is such an intriguing movie. I think it's good, it's my favorite of the three, but it's not the best film of the three. I remember after The Dark Knight came out, and everybody loved it, and we were all sure there was going to be a sequel, but nobody had any idea what it would be like, and nobody envied Chris Nolan's position. We thought, callously, "Harvey Dent came back to life when Heath Ledger died." Ultimately, out of respect for Heath, Christopher Nolan decided to set the film 8 years in the future. There's a scene in the script where you see the back of the Joker's head while they're breaking everybody out of Blackgate, but the League of Shadows are all like... fuuuuuuuuuck that guy. He can stay right there. But the themes of the movie hit so damn close to home for me that it really holds a special place in my heart. It's a story about a man deciding that he wants to live. People are so used to movies ripping ideas from The Dark Knight Returns - Zack used the pictures, the Russo Brothers used the politics, and Christopher Nolan used the psychology. And Rises absolutely hits those notes. "I spent years looking for a good death. This... this will be a good life."

[@razkable]

rises is my favorite superhero film ever...people seem to not get that its trying to tell like 4 different stories..people wonder why is this and this in the film its cause of the comics.. nolan wanted to pay tribute and tell a bigger story and I appreciate him giving bruce a happy ending and showing a character grounded movie about bruce coming back and not needing batman no more so he can have that normal good life alfred and his parents always wanted for him....he found the right successor his batman died in the eyes of the people..they do not need him as batman anymore ..he can be free..like he wanted to be in the last film

[@icywinterof88]

I still love this movie man lol, I dont care how much people rag on it.

[@razkable]

i feel they just rag on it for content cause it ended the nolan universe and they wanted 4 films....they don't have to worry about kissing its ass like with the other 2 films since they had to be positive about those to get more films in the first place...they feel they can just shit on it as the finale cause he is done with the series so batman fans and movie fans can hate on him as by the third installment it is exhausting

[@fabioarapi1043]

Christopher Judge aka Kratos is in this movie!

[@SpartanShepard]

I love this movie. Yeah it's the weakest, but it still stayed true to it's characters, and I still cry at the ending. I do think Nolan was a bit lazy in the writing in the last 30 minutes, but I don't mind. After Nick nitpicked Dark Knight to death, there actually some stuff in both of these movies that don't make sense. I loved Bane, most of his lines gave me chills, Anne Hathaway was really good as Catwoman (I still prefer Michelle). The fights, while better, are still underwhelming. I don't think Nolan can shoot good fights (I haven't seen Tenet yet), but I appreciate there aren't so many quick cuts like in Begins. The first fight with Bane was cool though, I felt the stakes there. Honestly I can understand why if some see it as a disappointment, but I seriously don't understand when they say Rises is "bad".

[@razkable]

rises makes up for its lazy nolan story without enough rewrite fixes an edits by having everything else wok so well..acting action drama themes shots you name it...the issues com with nolan not the film..nolan is the one they should get mad at not the film..

[@CuzziP]

Obviously Rises doesn’t live up to Begins and Dark Knight but it’s not as bad as most of the DCEU movies that have followed it and DEFINITELY not as bad as the 90’s Batman movies

I still love this movie. Sometimes I can't decide if I like Begins or Rises better, but Rises does do a good job at giving Bruce Wayne a logical conclusion. It just has the unfortunate position of having to follow up the Dark Knight. And i don't give a shit: I liked that JGL is revealed as this version of Robin. He's clearly a composite of the 3 Robin's from the comics at the time. And given the trilogy's goal to keep things as grounded as possible, giving Batman a child as his sidekick legitimately would've been a bad look.

This is one of like 3 movies that I aggressively dislike... Like, I can NOT understand why anyone likes this movie.. there's a couple awesome scenes with Bane. But this movie makes NO sense. The logic leaps are way too much, way too often.

[@vinnybastos]

The movie is bad because it doesn't fully explore it's biggest theme, "The Noble Lie". Which was the biggest thing in the Dark Knight's ending!! First they tell us that, even though it's based on a lie, the Dent act actually cleaned the streets (by increasing the State's power of prosecution, like the Patriot Act). So, how does this peace based on a lie negatively affects Gotham? Well, it doesn't! There's no evidence that the product of this lie is corrupt at all! There is no negative consequences for the cops increased power of surveillance and excessive authority. In fact, the Dent act actually works wonderfully! BUT, once Bane reveals the truth about Dent (by reading some paper he says is written by Gordon, which everyone believes), somehow society crumbles. Which makes NO sense. The movie tries to present Bane as this product of escalation, that The Lie caused such social inequality in Gotham that his rise was unavoidable, but doesn't actually explain or show that happening; unlike the Joker , who was a madman the Mob naturally turned to when Batman made them desperate. Is the movie trying to say that bad stuff happens when the truth is revealed? It does seem to be the point since, once again, in the end Batman has to heroically keep the truth from the population: He has to hide his survival in order to create yet another Noble Lie, now the one that Batman sacrificed himself for Gotham, thus creating another image of justice for Gotham to revere. So after a whole movie dedicated to developing this theme of TRUTH, we end up exactly at the same point made at the end of Dark Knight. More lies.

It also plays into what Alfred said about Bruce wanting to fail. The 2nd time he is just angry and thinks only about strength like when he fights Bane in the sewer. The third time he finally "gets" it. It's not about the physical stuff it's about finding yourself again using fear thus coming full circle from Batman Begins; Batman is being reborn. Everyone seem to talk about the physical stuff when talking about this film although it has nothing to do with that.

[@yitoji]

Once again Nolan has no idea how to direct fight choreography, terrible fights all around.

[@razkable]

the bane batman fight in the sewer is perfect...so brutal

[@yitoji]

No it's not batman throwing wide as hell punches and and slow af

[@Lingeringwill13]

@@yitoji That’s the point? Bane literally says “you’re weak and slow”? And mocks him for fighting like a young man and all frenzied that’s literally perfect and on point for his character

[@yitoji]

@@Lingeringwill13 no that's not the point your punches maybe slower but your form will still be perfect, choreography is terrible

[@Lingeringwill13]

@@yitoji That’s the point as much as Batman knows Banes a step or two ahead he knows his fighting style Batman’s getting desperate all the tactics he uses Bane already has counters for

this was the greatest opening of any kinda funny video ever

[@myfilms999]

2:02:35 Glad to hear you guys will be reviewing Tenet! I look forward to that. Im picking it up on 4k when it comes out

[@nicktiznado8492]

I’m looking forward to finally watching the New Mutants next week, and the final XCU In Review.

[@jacksomedaysoon]

I’m still rubbed raw by white washed bane. Tom Hardy was great, but It would have been great if bane stayed Latino

[@drewmanchu14]

Holy shit this is and A+ Greg Miller performance. the 10 yr old Greggy wearing a ski mask part had tears in my eyes 😂

[@wb8905]

I’m shocked that there are people that think revenge of the sith is better than this movie. ROTS will always be a piece of shit on the end of cinema’s boot.

[@gamingwithgrief4307]

Why does Greg look like the 70's version of Commissioner Gordon?

[@RiceGamesAndCards]

TDKR best batman movie ever made don't @ me

[@riverofsouls1417]

I know i am late here but i have to disagree with the part of Batman not learning how to beat Bane it was not about punch harder if you listen closely on thir last fight you hear that all of Batmans punches where directed at the mask you hear him hitting metal unlike the first fight that it was just that punch harder, while not a perfect movie and yes it has plot holes is far frm terrible

[@cal2727]

How does Tim mess up the mask set up from Greg hahaha it would be very painful

[@ivandoesgaming]

Haven’t seen the whole video, all I know is this movie is badass and even if the story is filled with plot holes it’s still badass

[@CrazedInfadel19]

"I have a lot of problems with this movie".... "Batman v Superman is a great movie" bruh you really need to reevaluate your criteria

[@isuriadireja91]

if u wanna compare this stinker to an MCU movie...it pars with... hell, naaahhh... even The Dark World's better than this embarrassment. Nolan set the bar so high with Batman Begins and The Dark Knight that for him to give us THIS...F it. i remember i got my expectations quite high...having loved the previous movies...i was so pissed by this movie's end that i wish Nolan would've waited another year to polish up his script more...or just made this into TWO movies instead. there were just so many dumb plot choices and scenes... and that first Batman-Bane fight was shot SO AMATEURISHLY...i was cursing while watching it. plus the armed GC cops charging towards the charging armed Bane's army was just so ridiculous (maybe it would've worked in an action flick by a lesser moviemaker)..especially after having THE WHOLE Gotham cops being sent AND trapped in the sewer...SO DUMB. Bruce's back being "fixed"...Talia's extra stoopid revenge plot. Catwoman (tho looking hot)...her look and her being in this story and setting just didn't work for me. i wish Nolan would just own his mistakes with this movie and decide to REDO a third dark knight movie...more in the level of BB & TDK.

[@spencermalley10]

This movie really brings out the entitled nitpicker in a lot of fans. If you really think TDKR is an "embarassment", you really need to watch more movies.

[@razkable]

looking back they should of made this a 2 part film with 2 hours per movie and maybe shove in some other villains like riddler penguin poison ivy harley an more for scarecrow to do and like maybe have two face nor dead it turns out...like then it really could of been special if like the first part was all about this rogue of arkham villains escaping so batman has to come back for that and then the 2nd film is about bane and talia catwoman and robin so then you can take care of the batman alfred stuff in its own film and then have the 2nd film have more time dedicated to the cast and the siege the theme of giving the power to the people and more time for the villains and bruce's full arc rather then just set up for an hour..the film could of been special if split up...

[@spencermalley10]

That sounds terrible and also something Nolan would never do under any circumstances.

[@jackcampbell7099]

Just had to say I agree with Nick, not a fan of Anne Hathaway in the majority of her work

[@PeedgeMcDuck]

I can't watch these anymore because of Nick.

[@ToastyBunsMcGee]

To say Batman Begins is better than this.. is absolutely insane.

[@vSilentangel]

This is my favorite movie in the trilogy, I liked Tim’s Bane bit haha. Part of me misses hearing Colin’s “Yes, Brother” “The fire rises” quotes from the last time y’all went over this movie. Jesus Nick, I thought you were gonna come in as Batman, wasn’t expecting this lol.

you love this crappy movie?

[@Constant_Change]

immediately, immensely glad i went for the video version on this one 😭

[@thedefinitionisthis]

Hard off-topic, but here's a suggestion for another Movie Universe in Review series: *ROCKY BALBOA/ADONIS CREED CINEMATIC UNIVERSE* : Rocky, Rocky II, Rocky III, Rocky IV, Rocky V, Rocky Balboa, Creed, & Creed II..... I dunno why, but I think it'd be pretty fun to revisit this.

[@myfilms999]

This movie is messy, but goddamn it is so satisfying. It closes the trilogy so perfectly. I love it.

[@bendecidospr]

My only (and major) problem with this movie is that Bane, once again, is not the main villain. I wish they hadn’t forced the Ras Algul tie-in right at the end. All that stuff about the ONE person who ever escaped that prison, and the mystery behind this figure, thrown out the window once you realize it was never about Bane. That makes a second watching impossible for me to enjoy, bc Bane is now an absolute nobody in the entire movie. He’s not as dangerous or powerful or mysterious as you initially think, on the first watching. Side note: the re-recording of Bane’s voice ruined many scenes for me. Go back and watch the original intro scene, compared to the final version. Tom Hardy was phenomenal in the original, and almost cartoony in the re-recording. What a shame.

39:32 - "And unless she's lost a lot of weight... she was wearing somebody else's prints. So I cross referenced the address she went back to with police data on high end B&Es and... Selina Kyle." "We should send the police, before she fences the pearls." "She won't. She likes them too much. And they aren't what she was after." "What was she after?" "My fingerprints. There was printer toner, mixed with graphite on the safe. It gives a good pull, and it's untraceable." "Fascinating. You two should exchange notes over coffee."
