Chris Nolan's best

Rating: 10/10 (1 August 2012)

Well he has done it again, with the third instalment, and the last trek for Bruce Wayne. Now, with a new enemy which Bruce must face, Bane. A prisoner who protected a little girl amongst a hungry mob of inmates in a foreign prison, is now the muscle behind a plot to destroy Gotham city. From a long ago affair with a mercenary, Liam Neeson, who was Bruce's Mentor of the league of shadows fell in love and had a little girl who was of course birthed in this foreign prison. Freed by her own sense of determination, escaped and became a powerful European magnate for endless energy. But her own plans for energy was just a smoke screen for a larger plan which was set in motion by bane. Together they ruled Gotham, cutting off any means of rescue to twelve million citizens from the outside world, because of a neutron bomb which is used as ransom against the city. If anyone tries to escape it meant certain death for all. But, for Bruce his path was just set by both bane and batman clashing together with bane as the victor for now. Set in the same prison as bane and Miranda where they were held, Bruce undergoes a transformation of will hunting. Seeing for the first time what it means to really sacrifice everything in the face of death. Healed now, he goes back to Gotham to stop Miranda and bane from killing everyone he has protected in his career. I think this is the finest example of how a hero can for go the idea that not all hero's must win. They have to lose once in awhile to face their worst fears. And the scarecrow wasn't around, at least in disguise to let batman know of this. Bruce lost it all, his fortune, his house, his legacy, which to him, means nothing if he can just save one more person. But what I do love is how a new hero is going to emerge soon enough, probably under the tutelage of Bruce himself. With this in mind, I think the public will get to see the new knight which is kept hidden in the shadows as the most popular hero of all time. Whether batman is young or old, fans all over the world will keep the bats ready to fly when it hits the big screen. Excellent film, great music, and of course, fantastic action to keep you riveted to your seats. Hats off to Christopher Nolan. Quite possibly one of the finest directors Hollywood has to offer.
