Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight trilogy is a series of films that defined by youth and helped to cement my love of cinema...and Nolan himself. All three movies are equally important to me, but their also just towering cinematic achievements. Films that, when grouped together, comprise what is, in my opinion, the greatest film trilogy of all time. Many of you may disagree. That's fine! But even after seeing Matt Reeves The Batman, I still find myself swept up in the magic and emotion of The Dark Kight trilogy. Now within that trilogy is a misunderstood and unfairly maligned entry in The Dark Knight Rises. While many consider Batman Begins to be a perfect origin story and The Dark Knight one of, if not the greatest comic book film of all time, The Dark Knight Rises often gets thrown under the bus for not living up to the masterpiece that came before it. However, I feel there's much to love about The Dark Knight Rises. It's the perfect trilogy capper. A Batman movie that builds upon what what happened at the end of The Dark Knight and thematically brings the story full circle back to Batman Begins. It's a film that takes risks, ups the action and the stakes, while bringing down the hammer on an immensely satisfying emotional conclusion. From Bane, to Alfred, to Catwoman, to John Blake aka Robin, to Jim Gordon, and Bruce Wayne/Batman himself, every character and ideology is fully explored and given the incredible payoff they deserve. Some may pick holes in some so called "logic gaps" or "plot holes" but they're either choosing to ignore what's right in front of them or missing the point entirely. The Dark Knight Rises is underrated, even Christopher Nolan himself considers it so. So let's shine a light on the greatest third film in a trilogy as Griffin (@griffschiller) explores Why The Dark Knight Rises is a Perfect Batman Movie, why the dark knight rises is the best batman movie of all time, and why the dark knight rises is my favorite batman movie. I know it's a bold statement, but it's how I feel. The Dark Knight Rises is a misunderstood masterpiece and I'll die on that hill.

However, the arrival of a cunning cat burglar (Anne Hathaway) and a merciless terrorist named Bane (Tom Hardy) force Batman out of exile and into a battle he may not be able to win. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▶️ Other Amazing Videos ◀️ 🔀 Click HERE for more DC Dives: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKbDNu16yL9cF49IZrnzjz5iRBYdS34Pv 📺 For More Batastic Adventures: https://youtu.be/m-9KnyWRraU ▶️ About FilmSpeak ◀️ Welcome to FilmSpeak hosted by Griffin Schiller, where the conversation continues after the credits.
