The Dark Knight Rises

There is always heightened excitement whenever the latest installment of a film series releases and more so if the previous release was a tremendous success. Comparisons are inevitable. When it comes to batman one cannot help but compare the bad guys. Heath Ledger immortalized the 'Joker' in the previous one and Tom Hardy evokes pure fear with his eyes as "Bane" in the latest one. Joker was all brains, Bane is all Brawn. The "Expressive" acting of Heath Ledger will certainly be missed but what makes it much more exciting is that the evil is so much more stronger and the good is so much more weaker to begin with. Batman must not only overcome the physical barriers but also the much stronger emotional and mental barriers within and therein lies the test of a true hero. Is Batman up to it ?

Made for an exciting watch on the first day first show with a very vocal crowd cheering and whistling at every move of the Batman.
