Watched DARK KNIGHT RISES. Avoided reading much about it before hand as I was promised a big surprise in the film, only to find as a long-time batman reader I guessed the reveal pretty quickly. Nontheless I felt it maintained the high-quality of the previous entries. Lots of praise is certainly due to anne hathaway who made an excellent catwoman, and also tom hardy (who I had no problems understanding) who managed to make a weak one-dimensional character like bane interesting to watch. (I never rated the character in the comics and always felt he came across as second rate compared to a most other bat-villains). For me this stand up their with the previous Nolan batman movies and all the marvel stuff, including the AVENGERS, as great examples of how to bring superheroes to the screen properly.
