Bringing the trilogy back to where it began before its explosive and fitting end, The Dark Knight Rises (2012) finds Bane submitting Bruce and Gotham to the cruelty of despair. Christopher Nolan explores the pitfalls of peacetime and the complacency of victory, and what it means for Batman to die and for Bruce to truly live. The symbol of the legend finds its rest and its rise in this moving conclusion to the Caped Crusader's story.

The Dark Knight (2008) continued the trilogy by considering the effect of escalation, and escalation is exactly what Christopher Nolan delivers in this sequel. The prominent theme is the chaos that the Joker engulfs Gotham in, bringing the city to its knees. Expanding the mythos and infusing the superhero genre with a new standard for writing and character intricacy, The Dark Knight continues to stand tall.
