Dark Knight Rises - Engaging but Still less rise than The Dark Knight !!!!!!

Rating: 5/10 (29 July 2012)

How many times we've seen Christian Bale getting overshadowed by other actors in his movies no matter how good he acts ( Hugh Jackman in 'Prestige', Russel Crowe in '3:10 Yuma', Sam Worthington in 'Terminator Salvation', Johnny Depp in 'Public Enemies' and of course Heath Ledger in 'The Dark Knight'). This time too, getting stucked in prison for around 2 hours, has lesser screen space and shadowed by performances of Joseph-Gordon levitt, Tom Hardy and others.
Its pleasure to watch Caine and Freeman with amazing screen presence with less screen time. Thanks Nolan for using the Super Brit 'Tom Hardy' with more space than Inception. Overall with an amazing cast, Nolan does these deep characterizations with right back stories. So you can't find any plot holes unless you watch the movie deep enough maybe at least twice. There were few questions may be 'plot holes' arised when I was watching the movie like:
. Isn't the Original name of Robin was 'Dick Grayson' who was originally an acrobat and not a detective.
. Nolan is famous for his great deep back stories but why did he missed it for the more important character 'Cat Woman'.
. Why Around 3,000 police officers trapped underground for 3 months kept alive by food parcels shows no signs of change, or more-like fresh, when they are released.
. The Bruce Wayne/Batman, we know, never quits. For him to take 8 years off because his love died, mope around in the beginning and hang up the suit at the end leading a normal life is not Batman at all.
. Why Bruce Wayne/Batman, who never trusts anyone, never depends on anyone ( he does not used to put complete trust even on his beloved friend 'Superman'), but trusts 'Tate' with everything with too little exposure.
I don't get why People say the Music of this movie is so awesome. Its the same beat looping over the whole movie no matter what the scene is. Isn't that weird movies like inception,dark knight and dark knight rises has those same music playing throughout the movie devoid of any silence. I'll still prefer OST from 'Gladiator' rather than 'Dark Knight Rises' considering Zimmer.
Also the movie is pretty predictable. Even the complex movie maker Nolan makes the story straight-forward(Thankfully) but we actually could predict the twists and how things gonna wind up anyway.
These are just few among many. These doubts may rise to most of the Batman Comic/Animation followers but one thing about comics are that they produce various alternate universe of their heroes with alternate storyline. So all these questions/plot holes will be 'void' when we can view this as Nolan's Universe of Batman (Devoid of Detectiveness,gadgets,playboyness) which indeed made a epic transition to Batman as a Franchise. Well this is just me. Neither way - Somewhere down the line, The Dark Knight seems much closer to Heart than Dark Knight Rises !!!!!
