The Dark Knight Rises

Julgen tunnistada siiralt, et suurepäraseks klassifitseerub film ainult põhjusel, et nahkhiirmehe tegemised on korda läinud juba liiga pikka aega, seega subjektiivset objektiivsust on võimatu säilitada, ehk siis hinnang taandub objektiivsele subjektiivsusele. Ega sisus ja kestas, miskit märkismiseväärset antud eksemplaril enamat tegelikult olnudki, võrreldes Kevin Nolani triloogia eelnevate töötlustega. Enam kui kenasti olid kõik kolm välja mängitud, eriti just kui võrdluseks sääda Joel Schumacheri tilulilutamine vahe pealsel perioodil. Tagasi olid süngusega kaetud, mõtet kaasahaarav süžee, mis nii omane kulunud kaantega kriminullidele, tugevasti esilemängitud karakter, hirm ja kahestumine, kõik oluline, mis kumab läbi nii koomiksist, joonisfilmidest kui Burtoni esimestest katsestustest suurel ekraanil. Seda enam kahju on tõdemusel, et kombinatsiooni Bale ja Nolan enam vaevalt koos saab näha samat projekti jätkamas.

Kaks huvitavamat fakti veel:

Only days before the role of Batman was cast, eight actors were asked to audition for the part. The actors were Christian Bale, Joshua Jackson, Eion Bailey, Hugh Dancy, Billy Crudup, Cillian Murphy, Henry Cavill and Jake Gyllenhaal. While Bale won the part, Christopher Nolan liked Murphy's audition so much, he cast him as Dr. Jonathan Crane/The Scarecrow. Part of the audition process involved the actors wearing a Batman mask and an old mask used by Val Kilmer in Batman Forever was brought out of storage for this purpose.

Due to his part in The Machinist (aka The Machinist), Christian Bale was vastly underweight (about 120 pounds on his 6 foot+ frame) when he was under consideration for the part. After being cast, he was told to become as "big as you could be" by Christopher Nolan. Bale underwent a dietary and exercise regimen and ending up weighing about 220 pounds (about 40 pounds above his normal weight). It was decided that Bale had became too large (friends of his on the film's crew dubbed him "Fatman") and he quickly shed about 20 pounds to have leaner, more muscular frame.
