The final part of Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy finds
Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) broken, physically and mentally, eight years on
from the events of The Dark Knight. Wayne has become a
recluse, staying away from the limelight both as a Billionaire playboy and
masked vigilante. Wayne
is temped out of retirement though through a combination of curiosity about a wily
cat burglar called Selina Kyle (Anne Hathaway) and the threat of a powerful
anarchist named Bane (Tom Hardy).
I’ve never been as much of a fan of Nolan’s Batman films as some
people although I did like Batman Begins and
really enjoyed The Dark Knight. Going
in I’d avoided all spoilers and reviews but expected that I would enjoy the
film. I was wrong though. I didn’t just enjoy it but thought it was one of the
best, if not the best film I’ve seen so far this year. Nothing prepared me for
just how good this film is.
