The personal story of Bruce Wayne that Nolan and company told in the Dark Knight Trilogy is fantastic. Taking some of the most epic story lines from the comics and integrating them into these movies was fantastic. The Dark Knight Rises brings everything to an end in one of the most satisfying ways. The most obvious influences on the film are Knightfall, No Man's Land and The Dark Knight Returns, with several other little nods to fans.Fantastic story, fantastic acting, fantastic movie. One of the most thrilling theater experiences I've ever been a part of.
