For my first blog and my first movie review I will be taking on the most anticipate film of the 2012 Summer and the end of the greatest superhero trilogy of all time....The Dark Knight Rises.
As a lifelong Batman fan it was great to see Christopher Nolan's vision of Gotham City first come to life on the big screen in Batman Begins and then a second visit in The Dark Knight. However, it was not until the third installment of Nolan's Batman trilogy that the New York skyline was actually shown because 95% of the filming took place in Chicago (true for all three films).
The Dark Knight Rises is without a doubt the greatest Batman movie all time as it movies away from the comic book style movies that both Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher had previously made prior to the Batman reboot that started with Batman Begins. TDKR has all of the previous stars returning to reprise their respective roles from the The Dark Knight. Christian Bale returns as Bruce Wayne/Batman while new comers Anne Hathaway joins as Selina Kyle/Catwoman and Tom Hardy joins the cast as Bane. Also Joseph Gordon-Levitt joins the cast as a Police officer turned detective named John Blake.
This movies pulls together all the lose ends Christopher Nolan started back in 2005 while at the same time starting new story lines for any director brave enough to tackle the Batman after Nolan.
Nolan said he will not return Gotham anymore but maybe we can ask him nicely to return on last time for The Dark Knight Returns, just maybe. Or will there be a spinoff trilogy based on one of the characters introduced to us in the The Dark Knight Rises.
If you do venture out to your local theatre to see the greatest Batman movie ever made be sure to look for clues to Christopher Nolan's next work or even clues to a 4th Dark Knight movie.
Until next time,
