Final Word; Well, it’s certainly going to be the last of the
Nolan Batman films, at no mistake. Powerful, thrilling, broody and epic. Like its
predecessor the second act feels a little longer than necessary, but hey, no
big deal. Could easily have suffered without the Joker’s up-beat mania, but Tom
Hardey’s bane more than steps up as Batman’s strongest foe, offering
intimidation in spades and even the odd moment of gallows’ humour. Again, the
film’s more earnest moments are handled expertly by secondary characters Jim Gordon
and Alfred the butler, again giving the film its heart. Look out for a scene
stealing turn from a previous Batman villain as a self-appointed ’judge &
jury’.
A film so good, it deserves a second quote?
"A hero can be anyone. Even a man doing something as simple and reassuring as putting a coat around a little boy's shoulders to let him know that the world hadn't ended."
Batman
