"The Dark Knight Rises" - This is billed as the final Batman film for both co-writer/director Christopher Nolan and star Christian Bale. If both stay true to their word, it's a satisfying finale, an enjoyable, ambitious film, but also one with little detail that break the mood and keep "The Dark Knight" as the pinnacle of the trilogy. New characters played by Anne Hathaway (Selina Kyle / Catwoman), Tom Hardy (Bane), Marion Cotillard (Miranda Tate) and Joseph Gordon-Levitt join the deep cast that includes Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman and Gary Oldman. Blu-ray extras includes a multi-part making-of documentary called "Ending the Knight" and a nearly hour-long history of the different incarnations of "The Batmobile."
