The mask isn't for your protection, but for the people you care about - Batman
Bane: "The fire rises."
Batman: (on a rooftop, talking with Selina. Turns away briefly, then turns back, and realizes she's gone) "So that's what that feels like."
Bane: "...Ohhhh, you think darkness is your ally... But you merely adopted the dark... I was born in it! Molded by it... I didn't see the light until I was already a man. By then it was nothing to me but BLINDING! (grabs Batman from the shadows and continues to beat him) The shadows betray you, because they belong to me! (repeatedly punches Batman in the face, breaking his cowl) I will show you where I have made my home whilst preparing to bring justice. Then, I will break you. (Hits detonator, blowing a hole into the bottom of Wayne Enterprise) Your precious armory, gratefully accepted! We will need it."
Bane: "Ah yes! I was wondering what would break first! Your spirit... (dead-lifts Batman over his head) ...or your body!" (slams him down on his knee)

Add a CommentExcellent ending to this series. Apparently not for everyone, judging from several of the comments here. Well acted and well done.
Cliched and extremely violent. Christian Bale seems to be moving in slow motion. No wonder Batman gets the bleep kicked out of him Freeman, as usual, phones it in but at least he doesn't narrate. Caine is Caine which is always good. Hathaway has the best role and acquits herself well. Ends with a double dose of hokum.
The Dark Knight Rises ---- (DVD - 2012) ---- What I really like about the newer Action movies is that allot of showtime is not used to build the character. ---- 4 1/2 Stars ---- The show was easy to follow and great entertainment. ---- Enjoy! ---- RichardPaul (Finished 5 - 13)
Thought the story line was not what it could have been and I'm not a big catwoman fan BUT I did enjoy the movie and would watch it again. Big Batman fan and Bale does the role justice. The ending suprised me....I liked it.
It was O.K for a home TV movie. I was entertained and interesting. But it was NOT worth the long library wait or the price to rent from a Red Box. I fast forwarded a lot but not all the way.
Fine actors such as Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine, what are they doing here? Got paid big bucks?Christian Bale looked tired and withdawn. His body moves too slow in action scenes. Sorry I'm not a batman fan.
If your looking for Dark, Violent, over the top characters, and lot's of action. This movie is for you.
Engrossing! Loved it!
To be honest I was a little disappointed in the overall storyline of this movie, but for the most part it was a good ending to the series. It was nice to see Catwoman, but some back story would have been nice for the character.
One of the best movies ever made, on earth. That's all.
