b'Our survey of Christopher Nolan\\u2019s trilogy of Batman films concludes with \\u201cThe Dark Knight Rises.\\u201d It\\u2019s clear why fans of the gritty darkness of \\u201cThe Dark Knight\\u201d might have been disappointed with this film, because it\\u2019s strange in many surprisingly comic-booky ways\\u2026 and we kind of love it? We discuss the choice to have the film\\u2019s primary villain have his mouth covered and speak in surround sound, the competence of Selina Kyle, the steadfastness of Michael Caine\\u2019s Alfred, the heir apparent earnestness of Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and the proximity of certain middle-eastern rendition sites to Gotham.
