What I've Learned From Film - Ep. 22 - The Dark Knight Rises

Holy smokes, Bat readers! The third (and final?) Batman movie in Christopher Nolan's trilogy has finally arrived in theaters everywhere and we were obligated to give this film not the podcast it needs, but the one it DESERVES. The Dark Knight Rises (starring Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway, Tom Hardy, Michael Caine, and Morgan Freeman) had a lot to live up to after the gargantuan success of The Dark Knight. So is it the epic climax that everyone wished it to be? Or is it riddled with plot holes that renders it a giant mess?

Joining me in my fight against Bane are special guests Darele Ray and Josh Beekman.
