The Dark Knight Rises (2012) – The film is just too big to get everything right (it also cuts some corners and the bad guys’ plans don’t always make a whole lot of sense), but it does a mostly effective job of combining elements from several notable comic arcs into a fitting and satisfying (if somewhat obvious) conclusion to the trilogy; the cast is excellent, and Hardy impresses; the social and political commentary here is shamelessly overt, more so even than in the last one; I hope now we can all agree that using “realistic” to describe this trilogy is off the table for good. 7
...Although Hardy's accent did make me think of SNL's "Sean Connery on Jeopardy."
