We\u2019re wrapping up Courtney\u2019s Batman journey as we head into the new year, with Christopher Nolan\u2019s trilogy capper - 2012\u2019s The Dark Knight Rises!\n\nSpecial guest Ryan Chollet joins us to unpack Nolan\u2019s big ideas and themes that\u2014sometimes sloppily\u2014guide the arc of the film; we have summertime excitement about theaters; we are biased as to why TV is better than reading books; and we air out our mixed feelings towards this Bat-finale that manages to at least be a fitting coda to a massively influential and genre-defining series from a director with an unmistakable vision and voice.
