Incredible acting, amazing themes, fantastic plot

Rating: 10/10 (21 July 2012)

The incredible acting displayed in this movie would merit Christian Bale an Oscar as best Actor and Michel Caine as best supporting actor, despite having limited screen time.
The themes conveyed when Wayne has to push himself to climb, or rise out of the darkness in the staple scene in the movie (The Dark Knight Rises' interrogation scene equivalent)in the prison are very well thought out and contribute greatly to the ending, where Batman sacrifices himself to save Gotham. The idea of this is that while Batman dies, Bruce Wayne lives, which helps convey the further theme of Batman being a symbol, not just one man.
Despite being different from the other two films in the trilogy, and knowing that I have a higher opinion of this film as it is fresher, I know that this film is my favourite film in the Dark Knight Trilogy, if not one of my favourite films of all time.
