Review of The Dark Knight Rises

after the death of his parents, bruce wayne (christian bale) takes a journey to find himself and is looking for a purpose in his life. his adventure eventually takes him back to gotham city, where he tries to frighten criminals with his new alter ego: batman. it's hard to imagine nowadays that movies starring superheroes didn't guarantee financial success. still, batman, arguably dc's most famous superhero, had a rough time at the turn of the decade due to the demise of batman & robin (1997). fortunately, christopher nolan's batman begins (2005) managed to change things. nolan's approach showed, among other things, that masked heroes could be portrayed absolutely seriously, sympathetically and somewhat realistically. the latter in particular comes to the fore so strongly in batman begins; realistic. to illuminate the underground world of crime as a kind of crime / thriller and make gotham city feel like a living city with a mountain of problems. from bruce wayne's training to the batman suit, the gadgets and the revamped batmobile (tumbler), nolan creates some kind of 'logical' explanation for everything, making bruce wayne's eventual transformation into batman seem credible. this transformation also takes up the first half of the movie. never before has the focus been so obvious on the man behind the superhero mask. time is spent getting us identified with bruce wayne. a broken man with guilt over the death of his parents, not knowing how to turn this grief and anger into something useful. ultimately, we know he chooses to express his emotions by trying to save gotham city from the criminal underworld. he does this like the dreaded batman. the matching movie title in this case gives the correct description. batman begins is bruce wayne's definitive origin story and shows in explicit detail how he took on the superhero life as batman. the story is inspired by many comic books, including frank millar's awesome batman: year one. the bar was high to surpass this film in quality, yet christopher nolan managed to do it with the dark knight (2008).
