Dark Knight Rises

I think Nolan was brought in to reboot the franchise with Batman Begins. After the success of that film, he signed on to make a trilogy out of it. I think I'd put this one ahead of The Dark Knight. Bane was successfully able to defeat Batman (once, anyway) and take over Gotham. Scarecrow and the Joker came close, but were unable to turn the people against one another.

Rises was a GREAT movie, but the acting by Ledger as the Joker will forever be one of the best performances I have ever seen. To quote Buddha earlier, he made anyone else that played the Joker look like Bozo the Clown.

Nolan has done a GREAT job of making the movies more than just Batman kicking ass and saving the day. He has shown the struggles of being Batman; the secrets, the physical limitations, and the team that is needed. Simply incredible.

Jon, Jon, Jon. Don't be jealous because the film featured the Steelers and great city of Pittsburgh. I heard Nolan thought about using the city of Baltimore and the Ravens, but three reasons stopped him from doing so 1) He didn't want the entire film to be shot in the ghetto, 2) He wanted a team that could actually make it to the superbowl, and 3) Black and Gold shows up much better in film than Lavender and white.

Agreed! It was genius.

Training camp just started, and Ginger is already in mid-season form.
