Batman's opponent is the core that supports the progress of the whole story. In each previous episode, there is an opponent who matches his ability. The most classic and outstanding is of course the Joker who has died. It's the meticulous portrayal of the Joker that makes Nolan's second Batman the best of the series.
Batman's best match should actually have two necessary conditions: intelligence and a dark heart. From this point of view, the opponent in this episode is a very unqualified one. Bane's skills are beyond Batman, but this will not make the audience have any fear of the masked man. Nolan's Batman series should be a movie that has surpassed the action level. The fear it brings to the audience is not purely physical. To strike, but to tap the powerful strength of the dark side from the moral standard, from the weakness of human nature, and from the spiritual level.
Bain's incitement is very strong, which comes from his civilian identity and the revolutionary ideas he preaches, but from the perspective of the progress of the later plot, he does not really believe in proletarian revolution, and he is still limited to a simple terrorist In his desire to kill, he frees the prisoners to judge the rich, only to cause chaos and to pave the way for him to eventually detonate the bomb, both the poor and the rich to die.
Miranda is the hidden boss, and this character reversal is the film's worst failure. She is a product of the lack of depth of the screenwriter's dark forces, but this kind of character reversal is by no means the pleasure of the viewer. Her appearance turned the original Bane's absolute villain into a powerful little character of Kong Wu, and for her real villain, because of the reversal, there is a lack of more space for description, and her motivation can only be achieved through flashbacks and It is quite unconvincing to present it in dialogue.
It can be said that Batman suffered the heaviest blow to his opponent in this episode. He suffered severe physical injuries and was trapped in a dungeon. But these difficulties seem too superficial. Just imagine that in the last episode, he had to fight against the pressure of the entire people and public opinion. There is a subtle and ambiguous line between good and evil. He faced difficult choices several times, but this time he obviously only needs to overcome the aging You are enough.
2 scenes
It's hard to see a scene as awesome as the opening scene of The Dark Knight. That's not just a clever story design, it's the perfect presentation of a character who is dark and ruthless, intelligent, and exploits human desires. It sets up a clever heist, a perfect escape, and it designs the masks so that the audience can't figure out which one is the real Joker. Its violence is hearty. At this point, it's strange why Bain didn't take out the Doctor with one shot, and the neck-twisting violence presented a lack of vocal cooperation.
Several of the scenes in this episode are rather mediocre. The scene of the hostage-taking on the plane is not innovative enough. The explosion of the football field, the visual effects are okay, but it is not necessary for the character building and the advancement of the plot, it is more like a part specially added for the scene. The other big scenes are more lackluster, the Batman comeback part has a perfect soundtrack, so it looks pretty good, and the other parts are full of scrambles.
3 Characters
Catwoman is the most successful character in this episode, everything else is a mess. The writers tried to follow the old way of writing, letting some characters walk between good and evil, but this method may need more space. Plus there are more characters in this episode, so there are a lot of character transitions that seem very far-fetched.
While there are a lot of disappointments, that's only true if you're looking forward to a Nolan movie. It's still a very complete film, and from a personal standpoint, I was in tears a few times in the cinema. Not only because of the story, but also maybe the emotion for Nolan's series is projected in this final Batman.
