Warner Bros. Pictures' and Legendary Pictures' "The Dark Knight Rises" is the epic conclusion to filmmaker Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy.

It has been eight years since Batman vanished into the night, turning, in that instant, from hero to fugitive. Assuming the blame for the death of D.A. Harvey Dent, the Dark Knight sacrificed everything for what he and Commissioner Gordon both hoped was the greater good. For a time the lie worked, as criminal activity in Gotham City was crushed under the weight of the anti-crime Dent Act.

But everything will change with the arrival of a cunning cat burglar with a mysterious agenda. Far more dangerous, however, is the emergence of Bane, a masked terrorist whose ruthless plans for Gotham drive Bruce out of his self-imposed exile. But even if he dons the cape and cowl again, Batman may be no match for Bane.

Hmmm...a synopsis, but no review?

What gives E??!!! (put down that weapon!!!!!!)

Clicked on the Warner link and all I can say is wow. It looks more than impressive.

Have always had an admiration for Chris Nolan. His conundrum style (Memnto, Inception, the one about the magicians) is exquisite and pleasing, his storytelling deft and subtle and his action scenes simply virtuosic. Long may he reign!!!!

(U 2 E!)

Well said Horace!!!!

Nolan stayed true to the comic. Added to Bane's abilities and intellect, but in the end Bane is true to the comic.

More on this later....
