As we came out of the theater, Harsha shouted "What a movie man!! The director sure knows how to draw our attention!!" Sidhu added, "Loved it a lot" while John conveyed to someone on the phone "You missed out and we all had fun...Awesome movie dude!!" These were some of the reactions being triggered to a group of college youngsters who just watched The Dark Knight Rises.

The Dark Knight Rises is Christopher Nolan's third part to the Batman trilogy. As the movie comes out with a lot of hype, audience expect a lot to happen in the movie. The very question in everyone’s mind is will this movie serve to the epic conclusion of the legacy of The Dark Knight which whooped a $ 1 billion box office hit worldwide in 2008 or will it be a viewers’ disappointment! Well, it’s not bad at all.

After being away from now, the crime free city of Gotham, Batman returns, old and tired as Bane (Tom Hardy), a ruthless and cunning terrorist who has come to the city to enact a plan that will take everything, both Bruce Wayne and Batman have been fighting for, and twist it into a weapon used to destroy Gotham and the souls of its people. Catwoman, a costumed thief (Anne Hathaway) is also introduced however without the traditional cats around her and without pushed humour.
For the first time, Batman loses a knuckle to knuckle fight with Bane, and all hopes seems lost. Bruce is sent to a jail with broken spine and hopes no less than a bunny with a bullet wound. With Bane ruling the city and the Government failing to spread order and law, Batman gets up on his feet and comes back for a battle with Bane and his army. After bringing them down, Batman has to now save the city from a Nuclear bomb which is about to blast. He uses his Bat (Aircraft) to fly it off to a distance where, out of time, an explosion occurs at the horizon of the sea and the tombstone for Bruce Wayne is set.
Surely, enough surprises capture your attention at various parts in the movie. This is one of the major reasons viewers did not feel the length of the film. And to mention further, Bane as a villain, is not as lively as the joker however Catwoman added a huge spark in the screen each time she popped up and created chemistry. Needless to say the movie has come across to viewers very well, as Spoorthi says “‎The Dark Knight Rises .....a brilliant movie...even for those who are not fans of batman....a must watch...”
