3rd instalment - better than the second one

Rating: 10/10 (28 November 2019)

Unpopular opinion, but I think this is the best of the 3. It just felt like a really satisfying close to the trilogy.
I think Tom Hardy as Bane, and Bane as a character, was overall better than Heath Ledger's Joker. The Joker as a concept is, I feel, quite overused. I do prefer to see more overshadowed villains such as Bane, Mr Freeze or Scarecrow (two of which obviously appeared in this magnificent trilogy) in Batman/DC media. TDKR is different to the other two, and I think in a good way - less of the bat, more of the man.
This doesn't mean I think the second one is bad. It's brilliant. The trilogy is a masterpiece, each movie in it is a masterpiece. Nuff said!
