Movie Review: The Dark Knight Rises


One thing I can say is that---this is by far the best Batman movie I've watched!

This is Christopher Nolan's third Batman installment after Batman Begins (2005), The Dark Knight (2008) and is supposed to be the conclusion to this series.  Story-wise it definitely provided a roller coaster ride that will keep the viewer's hand firmly grasping the sides of their seat!  The effects were great, the gadgets---especially The Bat (a helicopter-like flying contraption) and the Batcycle---were really radical, and Cat Woman was there!  Ohhh-boy!  Anne Hathaway looked perfect playing the role!  She was a combination of Michelle Pfeiffer's naughty disposition and Halley Berry's feline fluidity.  

The Bat
Catwoman on the Batcycle---you lucky contraption!




The story starts off 8 years after the events of The Dark Knight where the death of Harvey Dent was pinned on Batman.  The cover up behind Dent's demise gave rise to the Dent Act which practically eradicated crime in Gotham City.  Batman has since decided to retire and became a social recluse.  That is until Bane threatens to blow up Gotham City with a nuclear device.



Bane is Batman's most challenging opponent.  He is formerly a member of Ra's al Ghul's League of Shadows.  A terrorist who is both intellectually and physically a match for Batman.  

There is a twist to the story so I hope you haven't read any spoilers.  For your viewing pleasure I'm not saying either.  Watch!  Watch!  Watch!

Catwoman-The Dark Knight Rises


Meow, the Cat is in the house!  

Looks like director Christopher Nolan decided to have a classic Catwoman look.  Actually I like this better with only a mask and the Cat's hair flowing.  Man, that skin tight costume is a real tease!  

Can't wait for this movie to show.  Mark the date:  July 20, 2012.

Julie Newmar as the Catwoman in the
1966 Batman TV series.
