Christopher Nolan often uses his films to smuggle philosophy lessons. For example, The Dark Knight Rises isn’t really about Batman. It’s about Marxism. Bane is the left-wing revolutionary who promises change, but only to mask a totalitarian endgame.

I've read THE ODYSSEY contains some of the best spectacle in Christopher Nolan's career. I really believe Nolan has spent his entire career building up to this. For my money, THE DARK KNIGHT RISES contains some of Nolan's best action, notably the fight between Batman and Bane.

For The Dark Knight Rises (2012), Christian Bale was allowed to keep his Batsuit — the only time in the trilogy. Christopher Nolan told him, “You’ve earned it.”

The Dark Knight Rises is what I consider to be lower-tier Christopher Nolan- but this film is still a quality movie filled with moments. Those moments are largely due to Tom Hardy. Every scene with Hardy as Bane captivates. Wish we had more of Bane. A good but complicated film.

Christopher Nolan returns to theaters in 47 days. Summer wouldn’t be the same without a Nolan release. Whether it’s Oppenheimer, his three Batman films, Inception, or Dunkirk, Nolan sort of owns the month of July. Well…July’s in sight. We’re about to have another Nolan Summer.

The Dark Knight Rises is Christopher Nolan’s most flawed film but those flaws are largely masked by an outstanding opening sequence & a really well-done conclusion. This isn’t just a great conclusion to one film, it’s a great conclusion to an entire trilogy. P.S….only 97 days.

Tom Hardy studied gorillas to shape Bane’s walk in The Dark Knight Rises (2012). “There’s something about the way they move — powerful but economical. That’s Bane,” he told GQ UK.

Christopher Nolan says The Dark Knight Rises ending came to him in a dream. “I had dreams that informed narrative choices. I dreamed the end of trilogy - the idea of somebody take over Batman. Film has relationship to our dreams that’s hard to articulate”

In The Dark Knight Rises, Bane’s entrance hits different because the scene makes him look like some random prisoner at first. But the moment we see his face, he completely takes over. Even Nolan said Tom Hardy’s Bane is yet to be “fully appreciated.”

The clown mask Heath Ledger wears in the opening of Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight (2008) was designed as a direct homage to Cesar Romero’s Pagliacci-style mask from his first Joker appearance in the 1966 Batman TV series.

In The Dark Knight Rises (2012), Tom Hardy went too hard in the final take as Bane. He accidentally smashed Glen Powell’s head into the keyboard. Powell saw stars — unsure if it was a concussion. Christopher Nolan joked “do it again” — then immediately sent him to the medic.

I’m always happy to see THE DARK KNIGHT RISES discourse. Tom Hardy’s Bane is truly a phenomenal villain. Jonathan Nolan pitched the film as “What if the villain finally won?” and honesty the film rules because of moments like this.

Christopher Nolan’s casting of Michael Jai White in The Dark Knight is legendary & it’s not talked about enough. Michael Jai White isn’t just a legendary martial artist & actor, he’s genuinely captivating as hell. His presence in The Dark Knight has aged so well over the years.

Here’s my conversation with Christopher Nolan about The Odyssey. He also talks about the custom lens he modified for The Dark Knight that became a high-demand tool for filmmakers like J.J. Abrams and Zack Snyder. Finally, he reflects on his collaboration with David Keighley, who was the person that taught Nolan about IMAX cameras and made him sit down with Kodak. David is the reason filmmakers can still shoot on film.

Cillian Murphy didn’t read the script for The Dark Knight Rises. He trusted Christopher Nolan, choosing to experience the film like a viewer, without spoilers. “I don’t actually want to read the script,” he said. “Just tell me what I’m doing. Tell me my motivation.”

Heath Ledger personally directed both of the homemade videos the Joker sends to GCN in The Dark Knight. For the first video featuring the fake Batman, Christopher Nolan supervised the process but gave Ledger complete creative freedom. In the end, he was very pleased with the result.

Tom Hardy gained about 15 kilos of muscle in less than four months for the role of Bane in The Dark Knight Rises. After filming, he had to lose part of that weight quickly because it was causing him significant pain in his joints and back.
