One of the best Batman movies, but not the best movie ever...

Rating: Null/10 (15 December 2012)

WARNING! SPOILER ALERT! We have all seen the Batman movies. They're awesome, except for the Joel Schumacher movies. We all know that those sucked. I've seen all of the movies, and The Dark Knight Rises wasn't the best.
First of all, it's a great movie. Really, it is. Many people are overwhelmed by the action, the characters, and the fact that Gotham City nearly gets destroyed, literally. Many people focused on the movie, I focused on the story, and it's flaws.
There are many plot holes in this story. The first one is the whole Ra's Al Ghul thing. Basically, I think this movie should've gone a different direction. If you think about it, this movie is basically a direct sequel to Batman Begins, making The Dark Knight useless. If they used a different origin of Bane, it would make the movie make more sense. Oh, wait a second! Bane has nothing to do with the Ra's Al Ghul thing! Bane was just... there. Basically, this chick, technically a spy to have Batman go googly-eyed over, turns out to be the heir of Ra's Al Ghul when we all think that it's Bane. This makes Bane completely useless except for having a psychopath taking over the city, which goes back to the whole "Don't continue the Ra's Al Ghul" thing again! If you're just gonna have some random chick almost kill Batman at the end, WHY NOT JUST HAVE BANE BE THE HEIR?!? I swear, Bane might have broken Batman's bones, but this chick almost kills him right before Catwoman kills Bane with the Bat-Pod. WORST DEATH EVER!
Next, let's go over the plot. So, it's just another guy trying to take over Gotham. That's just it. This time, we have a lady who clearly works for Bane, and double-crosses Batman so that Bane and Batman can fight, Catwoman. We also have Bane. Bane is basically a messed up guy who gets the crap beat out of him for getting said heir of Ra's Al Ghul escape from the worst jail ever. He wears a mask, which we believe helps him breath. In the comics, he wore the mask, but it wasn't for breathing. This was going on in the movie, too, but the mask was actually used for injecting a drug which produces super-strength into Bane, making him strong. He's the big man, because he has an army of henchmen that brings Gotham to hell. He gains control of this power source that Lucius Fox has, and converts it into an atomic bomb, and kills the only man who can manually disable it. OOPS! So, Bane wants to destroy Gotham, but with style. At first, a whole army of cops can stop him, but Bane lures them underground, and traps them. Also, Catwoman gives up Batman to Bane, and Bane almost kills him, taking his vehicles and weapons from his armory. Batman is sent to the pit jail that Bane came from, and can't escape, because his bones are broken. Also, Bane bombs bridges, so the army can't enter. This means that he has full control of Gotham City, and nothing can stop him. Eventually, Batman escapes the jail, frees the cops, and takes control. Batman and Bane fight again, and Batman almost wins until that heir of Ra's Al Ghul stabs him, and almost kills him. She escapes, and takes the bomb. Bane is about to kill Batman, but then BANE is killed by Catwoman at the last second. Again, worst death ever. Batman catches, and kills the heir, and takes the bomb away from the city. The bomb goes off, and Batman dies. Everybody is sad, but no more danger, right? RIGHT? Well, now it's just a regular city again. They had a savior, and they're happy. At the last scene, it is revealed the most confusing twist in the whole movie.
BATMAN SURVIVED A FREAKING ATOMIC BOMB BLAST!
Now, I can understand that Batman might have jumped out of his plane at the last second, BUT HOW CAN HE SURVIVE THAT?!?
Like I said before, it's a good movie. It's not the best in the world, but it's AMAZING! Kinda cliché, but I love it.
