Four years after The Dark Knight, Christopher Nolan’s triumphant installment of the Batman franchise many consider the pinnacle of comic book filmmaking, the director returns with the final note of his superhero trilogy: The Dark Knight Rises.
TDKR is easily one of the biggest event films of the year, returning with an all-star cast from Batman Begins and The Dark Knight that includes Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, and Gary Oldman.
