A new villain, Bane, releases, and challenges Batman to come out of his hole.

Rating: 10/10 (18 August 2012)

I had just recently seen "Batman Begins" and "The Dark Knight" when I went to see "The Dark Knight Rises". It definitely was up to par and more.
This movie is very long, so you'd think it would be easy to get bored, lose interest in the plot, or get confused about the plot. But it never does that for a second. It keeps a steady, easy-to-follow plot going, while still creating great suspense. For example **Spoiler Alert** When you find out that the woman, not Bane, is the child of Raz Al Gu, it creates this "wow" moment. And of course, you wonder what is going to happen now when it looks like Batman is dead, but then you see him sitting in the restaurant with Catwomen.
But for you people out there who are grieving the end of the new-and-improved "Batman" series, don't worry, it's not over yet. They definitely have some explaining to do after the not-dead Batman leads the suddenly-decided Robin into his cave.
I highly recommend seeing this, I think it is the best movie of the summer.
