Since "Batman"（Christian BellOrnament）It has been 8 years since he disappeared into the darkness, and he has changed from a hero to a fugitive who has to flee the world overnight.Although the superhero, known as the "Dark Knight", scoffed at the accusations and humiliations imposed on him, he also sacrificed him and police officer Jim Gordon for this（Gary OldmanOrnament）All efforts to achieve the goal of "a better future".With the wanton spread of lies, under the pressure of the anti crime Dent Act, the criminal activities in Gotham City have been completely disintegrated and smashed.However, when a cunning and sensitive Snitch "Cat Girl"（Anne HathawayOrnament）When she suddenly came to this city, everything that had been singing and dancing was completely overturned. What she was carrying was obviously a secret plan.At the same time, what is more dangerous than her is actually "Bain"（Tom HardyOrnament）The appearance of Bruce Wayne, who is a terrorist wearing a mask and planning to carry out an unusually strange and terrible attack in Gotham City, also forces him to get rid of the decadent state of self exile and put on a headdress and cloak again - but even so, he is probably not Bain's opponent.[1]

Since then, he abandoned his life and traveled around the world, received special training from the "Shadow Warriors" Alliance, and equipped himself with high-tech weapons to maintain the peace of Gotham alone at night.
He is a terrorist who brings death and anger. He is an evil leader with superior intelligence and strong physique. Bain has a painful past, which also causes his distorted character.Bain's mask provides "venom" for his nervous system.In the fight with Batman, he broke the backbone of Batman.
Also called Catwoman, she is a swift thief.Although Bruce Wayne retired from the Jianghu for many years, the most influential celebrities from all walks of life in Gotham gathered at Wayne Manor to hold a charity party on the day named Harvey Dent.This kind of opportunity is a godsend for Serena Kyle, the Snitch Cat Girl. She waits for the opportunity to act and set up a maze.The encounter between Catwoman and Bruce Wayne has brought unexpected influence to the latter.

Positive comments
It is grand but credible, and it is a good enough conclusion.The only regret may be that Nolan failed to offer another inspiring performance like Heath Ledger in this film.(New York Times Review)[16]
The Rise of the Dark Knight continues the "Nolan Myth" to a certain extent. It is not only based on the theme of PAIN (pain), but also makes the film an audio-visual feast through quick editing and other techniques. For example, the scene where Bain snatched Dr. Pavel from the agent at the beginning is very exciting,Another example is the scene of Bain's attack on a football match on the field. The sacred feeling of children singing the American national anthem is in sharp contrast to the ensuing big explosion, which is very shocking.(Review of Beijing News)[16]
As Nolan said, "All great stories should have a moving ending". The ending has high tear gas reaction, which makes Nolan live up to his promise. The big pattern is perfect, and the small settings are brilliant. He gave the Batman trilogy a deserved epic ending.(1905 film online review)[22]
This is a strong, intoxicating film that is worth watching again immediately.(Los Angeles Times review)[23]
As the final chapter of his Batman series, Nolan gave this superhero film an epic temperament, and also gave his hero a gorgeous exit. With Zhu Yu, the former villain clown, in front of Nolan, he focused on the anti Bain, "cat lady" Selena and "Robin" John in this film, which is still a city destruction crisis,It's still those disgusting faces, it's still the people in a panic. The routine is the same, but the emotional saturation is far more than the load of the audience. The mixture of tears and laughter makes people feel happy.(1905 film online review)[24]
Negative comments
Although this is the most ambitious one in the trilogy, it is still not as fascinating as the Dark Knight. Sometimes the plot is a bit chaotic, the villains lack sufficient deterrence, and the last hour is too hasty.(USA Today Review)[16]
The Rise of the Dark Knight is not a perfect work. Tom Hardy's performance is not as good as Heath Ledger's swan song in The Dark Knight. Because the climax of the drama focuses on the hand to hand combat between Batman and Bain in the city hall, the film lacks the tension of the battle between life and death on the high-speed rail as in The Mystery of the Swordsman, and also lacks the Dark KnightThe tension of the clown chasing Harvey Dent in the police car is close to the fight of ordinary people.[16]
