I am The Dark Knight Rises reckoning. Fanboys, when your perception of the film is ashes, you have my permission to die.

Worst of the three movies.Long, predictable, and in need of a substantial revisit to the editing room. It's odd that that the film franchise that everyone considers the "intellectual" and "cerebral" superhero film, has so little respect for the intelligence of the audience. Everything is spelled out for you like Nolan is holding your hand and guiding you through the scenes as though you are a child, explaining every detail of the film to you ad nauseum. There is no room for nuance, Nolan's story telling is about as subtle as a brick to the side of the face, as his foreshadowing is, akin to a neon sign, so glaring (and repetitive) that anyone - regardless of their familiarity with the Batman mythos - paying a modicum of attention should be able to see all the twists coming from ten miles out... that is if you don't fall a sleep in the middle of the movie, thanks to the middling pace.
That said, terrific performances all around, with Tom Hardy and JGL (and Michael Caine for his limited screen time), showcasing some standout acting abilities. Anne Hathaway delivers a serviceable yet unmemorable performance, and Cristian Bale does the same, content on being over shadowed by his foil for a third time in a row.
Good movie, with top notch sound editing and cinematography, like Prometheus the story is nothing special but it is probably worth seeing for the few stand out performances... although don't expect anything on the level of Fassbender's David. Just barely a full price IMO, but if you can see a matinee or cheap movie day showing, that would probably be preferable.
Also, saw the trailer for Superman: First Blood... pretty meh, and the effects of the sonic boom looked surprisingly mediocre especially for a Synder film.
Saw Avengers five times in theaters, I have no real desire to see TKDR again until I can pick up on BluRay... going to see if I can sell back the tickets I have for latter tonight.
Come at me, Batbros

😂It was solid and enjoyable for me, but I think Batman Begins and TDK were both better.
Batman Begins was awesome.
Yet to see the new one, but BB was better than the sequel imo...
One thing I half expected, was a backlash against Batman not rescuing Ra's from the train. None ever came, thank goodness.

So he can't beat any superhero. Nolan must be proud.
Um, yeah, I suppose he is. He's directed a trilogy of ridiculously critically and commercially successful films. He probably drops to his knees every day to thank the universe for letting him be Christopher Nolan.
If he cared for a second whether or not his character could win a hypothetical fight with another fictional character he didn't write, I'd be pretty disappointed in him.
