The idea seems to be to conclude the trilogy by re-writing the plot of the first film. Gotham, again, gets cut off and isolated, this time for months rather than just a single night. Even Bane is, at least initially, said to be a student of Ra's al Ghul, the villain in the first film. The effects are good enough, as is the acting, but there's something vaguely tired and re-cycled about the whole thing, as if everyone couldn't wait to get shot of it and move on to something new.

The Dark Knight Rises
I got this DVD at Christmas but have only just got around to watching it. Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale), and the Batman, face their greatest challenge when Bane (Tom Hardy) attempts to take over Gotham City.
