The Dark Knight Rises Analysis
The Dark Knight Rises is the final installment of Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy. The Dark Knight Rises begins eight years after The Dark Knight ends and is also a sequel to Batman Begins. Bruce Wayne played by Christian Bale, is a billionaire in Gotham City; he is also the vigilante Batman. Each character had a similar theme, majority of the characters had a rough beginning, but the steps in which each one took made them a villain or a hero. Even though The Dark Knight Rises plot followed the predecessors, it was over all a decent story, but the plot was long winded. Eight years after Harvey Dent’s death and Dent Act has been in effect, Gotham on the surface seemed to have eliminated organized crime. Little do the people of Gotham and Batman know that their way of life is soon going to be altered because of new terrorist cell is rising.

The Dark Knight Rises Christian Balee

I will review the performance of Christian Bale as Batman in the movie The Dark Knight Rises. This is a difficult character to represent on the screen since he has double personality.

I don’t think that there is another actor who could represent Bruce/Batman better. He is very handsome and this makes a perfect match with the attitude of someone who has everything in life, meaning…
