Christopher Nolan returns to complete the Gotham trilogy that launched with Batman Begins and reached the stratosphere with the billion dollar blockbuster The Dark Knight. Inception's Marion Cotillard and Joseph Gordon-Levitt join the cast regulars along with Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle (aka Catwoman) and Tom Hardy as the powerful villain Bane. Christian Bale prowls the night as the Caped Crusader, fighting crime and corruption with the help of Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman and Gary Oldman. Review: At least as good as the first two . . . and NOT too long! - The following review started out as a gentle and respectful reply to another reviewer, so it may not seem as cohesive as other reviews, but I'm now posting it for two reasons: 1) I'm really tired of all the "too long" comments, because I see that response as an indication of the general loss of decent attention spans that now exists in the citizens of our troubled nation (USA, but maybe other nations too?), and 2) there seem to be a lot of shots taken at Chris Nolan-just for being Nolan, and since--IMHO--TDKR is the most "Nolan-ese" of the series, I suppose people who don't like Nolan will find more to dislike than those who like him. And, it may also be true that points 1 and 2 above are connected. On the other, I really like long films, and I really like Chris Nolan's film-making, so I'll admit that my bias in those two areas shows up clearly. Oh well. But, to the "review": I'm not a Batman fanatic, from the comix side, but I do like Chris Nolan, esp Memento & Inception, and I guess this film "felt" more like a Chris Nolan film than the first two. I'll also concede that I am one of those crazy people who actually likes *really* long films! (Ben-Hur and Lawrence of Arabia are two of my favorites.) Having said that, I'll note that I thought TDKR was amazing, and--in some ways--the best of the three. I had not read many reviews of this one until I watched it, so the way the plot unfolded was mostly new to me, and I have to say that I genuinely liked the way Nolan paced that unfolding, especially as Bane was set-up as virtually unbeatable, perhaps even by Batman at his peak. I've heard Bane described as "jolly," or perhaps just too flippant, but I think his attitude is simply a supreme confidence to the point of arrogance, and his arrogance makes him dismiss Batman, and any other opponents, with a vile amusement that is probably flip and sarcastic, and tied very much to his angry and bitter "soul." Also, to note one example that comes up as negative, I have seen the "climb" out of the prison described as "too long," or "boring." Nonetheless, I really liked the technique of revisiting Wayne's attempts until he finally took the blind prisoner's advice and climbed "as a child," without the rope. Now, I'll concede that after the first two attempts, I was already telling myself, "he has to do it without the rope, like a kid," but I think Nolan wanted the audience to be a bit ahead of Wayne on that point, because he kept showing the footage of the kid climbing, and the absence of the rope was pretty obvious. To me, it shows that Batman/Wayne is still having difficulty getting his mind/spirit back to the point where he can battle Bane with any chance of success, and Nolan just lets us see that before the character does. Some folks have criticized Nolan's portrayal of Batman/Wayne as borderline crippled over an 8-year period, but he is just human, after all, and it shouldn't be a shock that his emotional loss in The Dark Knight sparked a long period of withdrawing from everything. If you believe Batman is simply a man in great shape and with great martial arts training, and with a few other skills, then you will accept that all of that can be lost through neglect and carelessness and a sorrowful apathy. OK, I'm in danger of rambling here, but I guess my point, for what it's worth, is that I have watched all three of the films in this particular Batman series. I have really enjoyed all three, but I've been waiting for the true "Nolan" twists to show up. Batman Begins was extraordinarily tame in its "Nolanisms," and then The Dark Knight seemed much more a Nolan product (esp in the Joker protrayal), and finally in The Dark Knight Rises, the "true Nolan" finally shows up, especially in those scenes where the action is so fast and shocking that it is almost bewildering, which is what you get in Inception (albeit for different narrative reasons). As for the ending, should Nolan have left Batman's fate more ambiguous, and would that have been more effective? Possibly, but as it stands, Wayne's fate is something about which only the audience, Alfred, Lucius, and Selena truly know. From an emotional perspective, I just liked that touch(with no excuse). There's other little stuff too, like the way Gordon is brought down and chastized for allowing the lie about Batman to continue. Gordon has been a true shining star up until this film, and he does his best to get his police force back on board, and he ultimately makes sure Batman's image is reversed, but there is a point, after Bane reads his speech, that Gordon is justifiably portrayed as pathetic and helpless. Again, a Chris Nolan technique that produced in me a profoundly sad feeling. Yikes! This was a lot longer than I intended. I'm not trying to slam anyone else's review, or start a "review war;" I'm just pointing out the personal perspective from which I "watched" this one, and I'm hoping some of you on the border might give TDKR another shot. Happy New Year!!! Grace and peace, Rick. Review: Incredibly well done - I was exceptionally impressed by this trilogy as a whole. The Dark Knight blew most people away and set an extremely high standard for this one to meet. I don't think this film met the standard for pure intrigue set almost single-handedly by Heath Ledger in his role as the Joker. I was however very impressed by Tom Hardy's performance as Bane and loved the character. I have heard many complaints about Bane from random people, but he is well constructed and developed, and highly formidable. He is a completely different animal from the Joker, and as the original story told, was meant to be Batman's arch-nemesis. I loved this movie for many reasons, including the depth of plot and for the story itself. Like most great movies, I think that it takes multiple viewings to pick up on all of the subtleties woven into the plot. (Study it closely naysayers, depth is there.) Many people complain of gaps and plot holes, but I don't give those complaints as much credence due to the subtle points woven in. Nolan does a good job of succinctly referencing most of those issues to move the story along quickly, you just have to pay closer attention. So purely as entertainment, I think this movie is incredible and well worth multiple viewings. ~plot spoiler alert from this point on~ This movie is very important, culturally, in my opinion. Nolan clearly draws a lot of inspiration from our society today, and writes a lot of cultural parallels into the movie. Much of what I am referencing here is the class warfare instigated by the cries of Bane for the citizenry to take back their city. A certain portion of the population is fooled into following a certain number of Bane's henchmen (not to mention the criminals set free) under the pretenses of rights to other people's property. This may seem like a digression, but Catwoman's character is a huge part of this side of the story. She is the caught between the two sides throughout much of the movie. She begins as one who sympathizes with movement of the [storm that is coming]. As the movie progresses however, she transforms from one who agrees with the deluded occupiers, to someone actively (however unwilling and detached she tries to be) engaged in fighting alongside the rational opposition to Bane. Catwoman's character is necessary for Nolan because I believe he wanted to show the line of logic that a fence sitter could follow to go from one side to the other. The tipping point for Catwoman was after a family was unceremoniously ripped from their home and Catwoman stood looking at a photo of the family and said "This was someone's home..." to which her friend replied, "No, this is everyone's home." She failed to buy into the propaganda machine controlled by Bane, and subsequently began to oppose those she once stood with. There are many more details showing cultural and societal parallels written into the movie. I won't go into any more, but in case it interests you in addition to the the movie for story's sake, watch for them. That is all, it's an incredible movie.

At least as good as the first two . . . and NOT too long!
The following review started out as a gentle and respectful reply to another reviewer, so it may not seem as cohesive as other reviews, but I'm now posting it for two reasons: 1) I'm really tired of all the "too long" comments, because I see that response as an indication of the general loss of decent attention spans that now exists in the citizens of our troubled nation (USA, but maybe other nations too?), and 2) there seem to be a lot of shots taken at Chris Nolan-just for being Nolan, and since--IMHO--TDKR is the most "Nolan-ese" of the series, I suppose people who don't like Nolan will find more to dislike than those who like him.

Incredibly well done

Slendido cofanetto, magnifico film, immancabile pezzo da collezione sia per i fan del crociato mascherato che non. La riproduzone della maschera spezzata è elegante, impeccabile e piena di significato: un "must have" per chi voglia custodire un film indimenticable nella confezione esclusiva che merita. In poche parole, la bellezza dell'articolo conferma quanto già visto con la limited edition dedicata al Batpod del doppio DVD de "Il Cavaliere Oscuro": la base mantiene la stessa geometria, ma riporta il novo titolo (The Dark Knight Rises), mentre la maschera, pur essendo realizzata in plastica, mostra egregiamente ogni dettaglio (graffi e lesioni) sotto l'effetto della luce. Purtroppo, la stessa cosa non può dirsi per la custodia dei due Blu Ray. Seppure sia discutibile ma simpatica l'idea di estrarre la stessa dal retro della base suddetta, appare davvero frustrante il modo in cui i Blu Ray risultano inseriti all'interno: un disco è posto sopra l'altro, il che non soltanto provoca il rischio di graffiare i dischi a vicenda, ma fa decisamente rimpiangere la presenza di una custodia semplice, come nella versione normale del film, o al più come fatto nella limited edition de "Il Cavaliere Oscuro" nella quale ogni disco occupava una facciata della custodia. Se però si considera che tutto il resto è pregio e che con un po' di attenzione si evita che i dischi si graffino, è un prezzo che si può essere disposti a pagare di buon grado. Riguardo al contenuto dei dischi, c'è tantissimo materiale: se il film, pietra miliare del cinema (comunque non ai livelli del predecessore) risulta magnifico non solo per la storia epica ma ance grazie agli oltre 70 min di riprese IMax, i contenuti speciali inseriti sono davvero tanti e non deludono neppure per qualità, tuttavia questi ultimi presentano una pecca: come al solito, sono presentati solo in lingua originale, ma seppur siano presenti i sottotitoli anche in italiano, spesso risultano illegibili quando lo sfondo sia molto chiaro (o peggio) bianco, col risultato che la loro lettura risulta spesso frammentaria e noiosa. Infine, ma non per importanza, un 10 e lode a Amazon: confezione immacolata, pacco resistente e compatto, tempi di spedizione e arrivo talmente ineccepibili che, continuando su questa strada, sarà probabile che il pacco vi arrivi a casa qualche secondo dopo aver cliccato su "Acquista"!

Ce collector, je l'attendais dès son annonce. Je ne suis pas déçu même si certains point me dérange. A l'origine, je suis sur d'avoir lu qu'il s'agissait d'une version numéroté?! Or ce n'est pas le cas.. Le système de rangement des disques est un peu décevant, j'aurais aimé une boite BLURAY G2 mais puisque Warner en France ne fait que du boitier DVD pour des Blu-ray... A la place, on a une boite ronde avec les 2 Blu-Rays et la copie DVD. Le film, pour moi le film est un chef d'oeuvre, Nolan conclu la trilogie avec le talent habituel qu'il a déjà montré sur ses précédents films. Même si le film fut victime de restriction sur la durée. Il était question de 3h, Warner voulait même faire un double film comme Harry Potter etc. et même rajouté la 3D si inutile dont on nous gave sur tous les films ces derniers temps. Heureusement Nolan ne se laisse pas faire et nous livre le film en IMAX... Enfin en IMAX, voici un point qui me dérange, le film, comme The Dark Knight fut tourné en IMAX, mais pas intégralement. Certe, RISES bénéficie de plus d'une heure et demi de scène en IMAX mais pourquoi ne pas avoir proposer le choix entre film en 16/9 standard et film avec scènes IMAX? Car cela choque au premier visionnage en n'étant pas habitué. Avec un second visionnage, on s'y habitue et cela montre bien la qualité incroyable de ce format! La scène du prologue juste magistrale en HD IMAX. Autre soucis, le son! Donc ce film ne bénéficie pas de piste en 7.1 FR, ce qui est un premier point, encore que ce film mérite d'être vu en VO. Et soucis plus contraignant, la musique passe parfois au dessus des dialogues. Certes L'OST est juste énorme mais de là à surpasser les dialogues.. En VO le soucis est moins présent (raison de plus de le regarder en Vo ;) Dernier soucis, Marion Cottilard qui nous livre une interprétation pathétique et absolument pas à la hauteur du personnage et encore moins des autres acteurs époustouflant de ce film. Heureusement Anne Hathaway est là pour compenser avec un rôle superbement interprété. La seule tâche reste donc Marion Cottilard qui n'est là que pour son chèque et sa notoriété. La preuve, la miss n'est même pas sur les bonus du Blu-Ray! il est temps de retourner faire des taxis Mlle Cottilard. J'aurais adoré que sa dernière scène à l'écran soit possible d'être coupé dans les menus. Mr Nolan a cru bon de lui faire confiance et voilà le résultat.. Concernant les bonus, j'ai trouvé qu'il manquait quelque chose, surtout comparé à The Dark Knight qui était bien plus remplit. Le reportage sur les Batmobiles est pas mal tout comme les descriptions du tournage des grandes scène de RISES. Sinon, ce collector n'est pas un indispensable, la version simple BluRay est suffisante, le prix de 60€ est exagéré. En cas d'achat de la version simple bluray, rendez vous sur Amazon.de pour avoir un boitier Blu-Ray (et non DVD) avec un visuel bien plus classe. Ce film est un de mes coups de coeur et c'est un plaisir d'avoir ce collector (FanBoy mode)

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES schließt den Kreis zum Nolan Erstling BATMAN BEGINS und stellt einmal mehr Bruce Wayne in den Fokus der Handlung. Das 250 Millionen Dollar Spektakel beendet die Trilogie um den dunklen Ritter Gothams mehr als würdig ab. 2005 brachte Regisseur Christopher Nolan einen unscheinbaren, kleinen Blockbuster ins Kino, der zwar in der TOP 10 des Jahres landete, aber sich hinter Größen wie STAR WARS, HARRY POTTER und KING KONG verstecken musste. Zu Unrecht, doch das sollte sich erst 2008 mit dem Sequel endgültig beweisen. Waren die bisherigen Batman Verfilmungen eher Fantasy/Sci-Fi Mischungen verankerte Nolan seine Version in der Realität. Bruce Wayne (erstklassig gemimmt durch Oscargewinner Christian Bale) war ein Mensch, wie jeder andere, mit Ängsten, Fehler, Schwächen. Die erste Hälfte des Films kam gar ohne den Titel-Super-Helden aus, widmete sich stattdessen Waynes Werdegang vom verängstigten Kind, das seine Eltern verlor, über einen rachesüchtigen jungen Mann zum Symbol für Hoffnung auf Recht und Ordnung. Ein Werdegang, den das Publikum nachvollziehen und vor allem verstehen, sowie nachfühlen konnte. Wayne war dadurch greifbar. Der Superheld, der keiner war. Das Sequel fokussierte sich eher auf Batmans Gegenspieler, den ikonischen Joker, sowie den gefallenen Helden der Stadt, Staatsanwalt Harvey Dent, der im Verlauf des Films zum Schurken Two-Face wurde. Die multiplen Facetten der Bösewichter standen Wayne in nichts nach... zu Weilen hatte man das Gefühl einen Kunstkinofilm über spezifische Charakterstudien anzuschauen... Anspruchsvolle Handlung, tiefgründige Charaktere kombiniert mit imposanter Action... das gab es nur selten im Kino. Leider geriet im Sequel der Protagonist etwas in den Hintergrund. So imposant THE DARK KNIGHT war... die Identifikation des Publikums mit dem Helden und die Charaktertiefe des Vorgängers konnte er nicht ganz erreichen. Mit THE DARK KNIGHT RISES beschließt Nolan nun seine Filmreihe, und Bale's Batman verabschiedet sich mit einer Wucht, die alle anderen Comicverfilmungen des Jahres in einen düsteren Schatten stellt. Gleichzeitig kehrt Nolan zu den Wurzeln der Serie zurück. Wayne ist der Dreh- und Angelpunkt des Films, der jedoch keineswegs mit interessanten neuen, wie alten Charakteren geizt. Leichte Spoiler enthalten, aber keine Sorge - wichtige Schlüsselszenen bleiben unerwähnt und nicht kommentiert... sie werden das Sehvergnügen aber nicht trüben. 8 Jahre sind vergangen, seit Batman Dents Vergehen auf sich geladen hat. Seither ist Gotham eine friedvolle Stadt, die Kriminalität und Korruption scheinen besiegt. Doch unter der Oberfläche brodelt es. Die Gesellschaft der Schatten ist zurück. Ihr neuer Anführer Bane (Tom Hardy) will Ra's Al Ghuls (Liam Neeson) Werk (siehe BATMAN BEGINS) vollenden, und das Gleichgewicht zwischen "Gut und Böse" - Arm und Reich wieder herstellen. Wayne, der das Batmankostüm seit Jahren nicht mehr angezogen hatte, muss nun zu alter Form finden. Geholfen wird ihm dabei von Selina Kyle (Anne Hathaway), einer Profidiebin, die aber zwielichtige Spiele treibt. Batman stellt Bane, ist ihm aber hoffnungslos unterlegen... statt ihn zu töten, läßt Bane ihn zusehen, wie er Gotham Stück für Stück zerlegt... Spannend, abwechslungsreich, größer, bombastischer präsentiert sich der Abschluss der Reihe. Einige wenige aufgesetze Dialogzeilen mag man verzeihen, auch einige sehr unnötige kurze Szenen (Kuss vor Abflug). Insgesamt ist Nolan ein hervorragender Abschluss der Reihe gelungen, der die meisten losen Enden zusammenführt, die düstere Stimmung der beidenVorgänger beibehalten, und dennoch eine Hoffnungsschimmer aufkeimen läßt. Technisch ist der Film brilliant umgesetzt. Die Actionszenen wirken noch bombastischer als in Inception und das belagerte Gotham wirkt um einiges überzeugender (weil realistischer) als Manhatten in THE AVENGERS. Überhaupt, ist THE DARK KNIGHT RISES großes Kino. Zu keinem Zeitpunkt kommt Langeweile auf. Charaktere stehen nicht vor künstlichen Kulissen, und philosophieren, wie sie die Bedrohung ausschalten können. Sie bewegen sich, treffen Entscheidungen, machen Fehler. Stellenweise kann man den Film fast vorwerfen, überladen zu wirken. Durch den Film ziehen sich viele sozialkritische Themen. So wirkt Banes Aufstand gegen das Reiche Gotham wie ein Echo der aktuellen politischen Situation in den Industriestaaten... als Zuschauer, kann man nicht innehalten, und gönnt es den Bänkern, dass sie in dem Film ihre Strafe bekommen, so brutal sie auch sein mag. Bales Charakter durchläuft immense Wandlungen in diesem Film. Von einem gebrochenen Krüppel zum Helden, zum Häftling und schließlich, endlich zur Legende. Die besten Szenen hat indes Schauspiellegende Michael Caine. Die Vater/Sohn Beziehung zwischen seinem Alterego Alfred und dem Protagonisten trägt die Trilogie, und wird in THE DARK KNIGHT RISES gewaltig auf die Probe gestellt. Neu im Team sind gleich 4 wichtige Player: Alles voran natürlich Bane. Tom Hardy verkörpert das menschliche Monster kalt und unberechenbar. Bane scheut nicht über Leichen zu gehen, straft seine eigenen Anhänger mit dem Tod. Wenn der Joker das Chaos war, so stellt Bane den Terror da. Böse Stimmen behaupten, Hardys Charakter kann Ledgers Joker nicht das Wasser reichen... es ist aber so als würde man Äpfel mit Birnen vergleichen. Der Joker war unberechenbar. Bane ist unzähmbar, wie ein Sturm fegt er über Gotham, und auch Batman muss im Verlauf erkennen, dass er seine letzte Grenze... die Grenze, die er selbst bei Joker nicht überschreiten wollte, nun überschreiten muss. In einem der Schlüsselmomente gewinnt tatsächlich das Böse. Bane schafft das, was weder Al Ghul, noch der Joker geschafft habe. Batman ist bereit über Leichen zu gehen. Nummer 2 im neuen Ensemble ist Selina Kyle (Anne Hathaway). Sie verkörpert die agile, flinke und einfallsreiche Profidiebin, die zwischen den Fronten steht... Richtig: Der Name Catwoman fällt zu keinem Zeitpunkt, und das ist auch gut so. Auch Hathaway musste sich im Vorfeld auf den Vergleich mit vorangehenden Interpretationen des Charakters einstellen... sie spielt sie alle an die Wand. Kühl, sexy und mit einer Prise Ironie verleiht sie dem Charakter eine Agilität und Leichtigkeit, dass man wie von Selbst an eine Katze denkt. Respekt! Nummer 3: Der Polizist John Blake, der Batmans Verbündeter wird. Blake, selbst ein Waisenkind freundet sich mit Wayne an, und hilft ihm in schwerer Not. Joseph Gordon-Levitt bringt den Part brilliant rüber, ohne auf die "Guter Cop" schiene zu geraten. Nummer 4: Marion Cotillard. Sie stellt Miranda Tate da, ein Vorstandsmitglied von Wayne Enterprises, welches Bruce Wayne bei der Resozialisierung hilft. Bildformat: Die ewige Diskussion über den Formatwechsel... Liebe Käufer, zunächst bitte informieren, bevor man dem Film zu unrecht negative Bewertungen gibt: Der Film wurde in zwei Stilen abgedreht. Dem klassichen 35 mm Film mit dem Cinemascope Format (2,35:1) und knapp eine Stunde im technisch bestmäglichen Format das es derzeit gibt: IMAX. Die IMAX Sequenzen sind nativ in 16:9 vorhanden. Was bedeutet das? Im Kino haben sie seinerzeit ein leicht beschnittenes Bild mit WENIGER Bildinformationen in den IMAX Szenen gesehen. Um aus 16:9 2,35:1 zu machen, muss man oben und unten etwas vom Bild wegnehmen. Das heißt: Sie genießen THE DARK KNIGHT RISES auf Blu Ray zum ERSTEN Mal so, wie der Film abgedreht wurde! Soll heißen (damit es auch der letzte versteht): Der Formatwechsel IST KEIN FEHLER, er IST VOLLE Absicht. Wenn er ihnen nicht passt, greifen Sie zur DVD, die hat die leicht beschnitte Version auf der Disk.... natürlich voll auf Kosten der hervorragenden Bildqualität, die die Blu Ray zur Referenzscheibe werden läßt. Satte Kontraste, pralle Farben, und eine hervorragende Bildtiefe, die auch ohne 3D einen beeindruckenden Tiefeneffekt zeigt. Die Standard Blu Ray hat KEIN WENDECOVER. Sammler sollten ohnhin zur schicken Ausführung der Trilogie greifen, die in einheitlichen Steelbooks daherkommt, und wirklich hochwertig verpackt ist. Alternativ kann man den dritten Teil in einem sehr schönen separaten Steelbook ordern. Eine fantastisches Finale der Saga, dass Sie unbedingt auf der großen Leinwand sehen sollten. Definitiv die beste Comicverfilmung dieses Jahres, die auch nach dem Kinobesuch noch zum Nachdenken anregt! Wer auch immer Regisseur Nolan im Batman Franchise nachfolgt, wird es extrem schwer haben, diesen Film zu übertreffen.

Enfin disponible en dvd, le dernier Batman de Nolan, vu deux fois au cinéma tellement je l'avais aimer. Fan de Batman depuis tout petit, la série annimée et la saga des années 90, les deux magnifiques films de Tim Burton, Batman 1989 et Batman Returns, tout comme le très critiquable Batman Forever et le nullissime Batman et Robin, aucun ne m'a échapper. Bien sur en 2005 la touche de modernité et le renouveau que nous a apporter Batman Begins m'avait vraiment agréablement surpris, la musique, la mise en scène et surtout le réalisme, voir enfin Bruce Wayne etre former par Ra's Al Ghul, son mentor qui deviendra son premier ennemi, puis d’être également confronter à un des premiers bouffons de Gotham City: L’Épouvantail. Un super-héros totalement ancré dans la réaliter et détaché de son coté science fiction qui pouvait lui coller à la peau avec les anciens films. On se souvient tous de ce qu'on a éprouver à la fin de Begins en voyant la carte du Joker apparaitre, la sensation qu'une aventure folle se préparait déjà. A la sortie de The Dark Knight: Le Chevalier Noir au cinéma ce fut une véritable claque, Heath Ledger nous prouvait (malheureusement pour la dernière fois) qu'il était un acteur époustouflant en endossant le costume violet et le sourire machiavélique du clown psychopathe. Au début à l'annonce de la sortie prochaine de ce troisième opus j'avoue avoir étais quelque peu déçu de savoir que l'ennemi principal du film serait Bane, méchant qui ne me branchait pas vraiment, personnage peu convaincant dans ses apparitions passées, dans les séries animées tout comme dans le navet Batman et Robin ou le personnage y est présenté comme un attardé incapable de parler. Mais j'ai fais confiance à Nolan et en voyant la bande annonce j'ai compris très vite que le personnage de Bane n'allait pas y aller par quatre chemins avec Batman et que ses projets étaient très clairs, détruire le chevalier noir et sa ville par la même occasion. Effectivement en voyant le film j'ai vraiment étais secoué, Bane est d'une agressivité et d'une rage incroyable, interprété par Tom Hardy, la star du film "Bronson". Bref le film est vraiment génial et prenant du début à la fin, avec une fin vraiment émouvante et plutôt inattendue, les acteurs sont tous extraordinaire. Une étoile pour Anne Hathaway, magnifique et vibrante dans la combinaison de Catwoman. Tom Hardy nous montre une nouvelle fois qu'il incarne un des acteurs les plus doués de sa génération et du coté des anciens Christian Bale et Gary Oldman sont toujours aussi bons.
