TDK is the best of the three, but I’m someone who views the trilogy as one whole movie experience. Altogether they’re my favorite comic book movie

Thanks for reacting to "The Dark Knight Rises". I always think a reaction video is more effective when you avoid spoilers and IMDb and go into a movie blind. That way, the surprises like Joey King and Gary Oldman as part of the cast are so much more fun to discover.

Been really looking forward to this one and it did not disappoint! A couple of random fun facts/trivia from this one: Being set in Nolan's more grounded universe, this version of Bane is noticeably different from the comic book version, but I think it works here. Visually, comic book Bane is usually depicted with kind of a wrestler look, wearing a wrestling singlet and a sort of luchador mask. His main comic book power is superhuman strength and stamina granted to him by a super steroid called "Venom". There is a pretty famous comic storyline in which Bane bests Batman in combat and breaks his back, which we got a nod to in this film. Also for the sake of realism I think we are meant to interpret the appearance of Ra's al Ghul in the prison as some kind of vision or hallucination, but in the comics Ra's is actually immortal. Or able to be resurrected again and again, so effectively immortal. There's a scene in "Batman Begins" when Ra's returns to Gotham and reveals himself to Bruce at the party... Bruce (addressing the decoy Ra's): "You're not Ra's al Ghul. I watched him die." Ra's (Liam Neeson): "But is Ra's al Ghul immortal? Are his methods supernatural?" I think this is meant to be a nod to the characters comic book origins without bringing the film too much into the supernatural/fantasy realm, which I think works well here and acts as a nice little reference for those familiar with the comics. I always think it's funny to imagine what it must have looked like for Batman to be preparing his big flaming bat symbol on the bridge, all while knowing that the bomb had less than 12 hours before detonation. Priorities, right? Haha! Similarly there's the moment towards the end when they've finally caught the bomb truck and every character present in the tunnel stops and listens to Talia finish her dying speech, all with mere MINUTES left of the countdown timer! 🤦🏻‍♂️ Finally, I just want to point out that the music throughout this entire trilogy has been outstanding and that Hans Zimmer is a genius. Regarding the other/older Batman films out there, the 90's films are fun in their own way but are VERY different in tone and style to modern comic book films. They may be fun for you to watch someday just as point of comparison, but with different actors/directors between most of them it's better to treat them as stand-alone experiences rather than a franchise or series with a connected storyline. (Personally, I'd be more excited to slowly start getting into some Marvel stuff!) Matt Reeves' "The Batman" from 2022 is phenomenal! Probably my favorite on-screen depiction of the character so far. It should be getting a sequel later next year so it might be fun to watch it sometime before that releases.

I was waiting for this one :)

This one is a lot of fun. Dark Knight for me is like 9.5, the Dark Knight Rises is around 9. I enjoy the flow of this one, the emotional side of it all (Especially Alfred!), and the chemistry of Bruce and Selena over time

yess, I'm glad I didn't know about those cast members going into the movie!

ahh it's cool to hear some specific choices that were made that grounded these stories from the comic books!

“The Dark Knight Returns” comic book/graphic novel (1986) is a great read. It is the modern background for most Batman stories (comics/movies/videogames) created after 1986, including these films. Here’s the relevant passage from Wikipedia: “The Dark Knight Returns is widely considered to be one of the greatest and most influential Batman stories ever made, as well as one of the greatest works of comic art in general, and has been noted for helping reintroduce a darker and more mature-oriented version of the character (and superheroes in general) to pop culture during the 1980s. Various elements of the series have since been incorporated into depictions of Batman in other media…“ I found it on Apple Books for $13 or on Amazon for $10. I was actively collecting comics in ’86 when this was released, and it generated a lot of chatter and reverence. Sure wish I’d bought the originals; worth upwards of $2k in near-perfect condition.
