The way he tells Gordon that he's Bruce Wayne hits the feels because he just told him how Gordon was *his* hero for doing that.
What if Gordon replied.
This is Gotham, I have put my coat around many kid's shoulders.
It hits the feels even more when you consider that Gordon cared that much unlike so many other cops in Gotham, that he could remember something as little as comforting Bruce as a child all those years ago.
Dude’s had to deal with villains and corrupt cops but can tell what moment Batman’s referring to in a few seconds.
I wish they had saved the scene of Gordon putting his jacket on Bruce for that moment, it would’ve really hit harder IMO
blew me away, 52 yr old man and cried like a baby
I just wish Bruce dropped the raspy voice for the last part of that coat line. Would it have been more powerful? Maybe not. But it's just weird to me that he'd continue to bother at that point.
Oof, Alfred begging Thomas and Martha Wayne's forgiveness for failing in what he felt was his duty, protecting their son by any means necessary, and at the same time having to feel the loss of a man he himself loved like a son. Heart wrenching stuff.
Yeah. Just seeing how his new grave was beside their aged ones mustve been really sad for Alfred
Imagine the feel of relief Alfred felt when he saw Bruce at the cafe.
That was the first time I cried over a movie. The best trilogy in the entire world in my opinion.
@@manny4569 I personally don't think that was real
@@_the_rizzler but Bruce patched the autopilot. Which means he could've very well managed to get out of the Bat before the bomb went off.
I'd have agreed that it was wishful thinking on Alfred's part if it hadn't been for that little clue with Fox and the fact that Bruce wasn't with some faceless woman we only saw from the back.
Nat: "did I see this movie?"
The trailer Nat, all those bits you saw were in the trailer.
And in interviews like Late Show or Graham Norton, they show pretty long clips sometimes.
or just clips on YT...
No because I saw this movie in theaters when it came out and all I remembered was banes voice and the pit lol
😄😆
She explained, in one of the earlier movies of this trilogy, than she went to see this movie in the cinema either with an ex or some her girlfriends.
The best part about this trilogy is that everyone has their own favorite movie because they’re all great.
Yep, for me TDKR is the best of the lot. I know it's kind of a mess, but I love the Tale of Two Cities parallels, the reveal to Gordon, and the final moment with Alfred in Florence.
@@uptown3636 I go back and forth between DKR and Begins, I think I’ve just seen TDR too many times.
@@GaugeMe43 No matter how many times I see it, TDK's still my favourite.
@@MoneyGist I can definitely see that being to case for a lot of other people as well.
@@MoneyGist Same...though when it comes to ending...TDKR is the best.
"She seems fit, and in shape, and with knees full of cartilage." Hehehe
25:57 -- Michael Caine is an acting legend, and that scene proves it.
Michael Caine once remarked that him being paid to act is like a sex addict becoming a hooker.
@@GriffinPilgrim Lol, that's brilliant.
I'm still sad that the scene from the trailer didn't appear in the movie(where he says "I promised your parents I would protect you, and I haven't!"
the ideal woman! as much cartilage as possible!
Bruce told everyone he was alive in the end. Showing himself to Catwoman and Alfred, fixing the Bat symbol for Gordon, giving Robin the coordinates to the Batcave, and knowing Lucius would find the autopilot had been fixed. A great way to end the trilogy.
If you really want to see a great Christian Bale and Michael Caine dynamic, please PLEASE watch The Prestige. You also get to see Hugh Jackman so that's a bonus.
YES!
also scarjo!!!
Ive heard this many times but still never watched it myself...
@@locutus9956 You should. Still the best of Nolan imo
and david bowie!!!
When Batman Begins came out, everyone praised it for being a dark and gritty/realistic Batman, and the tone persisted through the trilogy. But let's never forget Christopher Nolan is the director who gave Batman's story a Happy ending. That will always be my favorite part.
But he didn't get a happy ending....
He literally died in that nuclear blast. Do you really think Alfred really saw Bruce at a random diner in a different country years down the line and all he did was raise a glass and nod to him? He was imagining it- just like he said he did when Bruce initially left.
@@emperormouse5487 I’ve never heard anyone think it was a dream, why would Nolan setup the ending, including Fox finding out the auto-pilot had been fixed if he wanted audiences to think Batman had died? It doesn’t make any sense. To your question, the movie ends, Alfred could have easily gotten up and joined them at their table after the camera stopped rolling. Showing up, unannounced after everyone thinks you’re dead to wink at Alfred is exactly the kind of thing this Bruce Wayne would do, his love of theatrics and drama is well established in the trilogy. It ends with a happy ending. But if you choose to believe he died, I guess more power to you. lol
@@emperormouse5487no it wasn't imaginary...proven by the scene that came before it when Lucius inspects found out Bruce had fixed the auto pilot on the bat...that's all u need to know...Batman wasn't in the plane when it exploded
I always thought he had died, when someone made me realise he genuinely survived it really changed my opinion of the film, and not for the better. They establish in the first film how famous Bruce Wayne is, he gets tracked down in prison in Korea, so to suggest he somehow retires into anonymity in Italy is ridiculous and destroys part of the ‘realistic’ base the trilogy was trying to create.
In the first film he's young and presumably Alfred has him on missing person's lists and people are LOOKING for him, even then he was missing for years. In the last film he's publically a recluse and publically DEAD, they hold a funeral for him, presumably his obituary is in the news papers, why would anyone be looking for him in Italy or anywhere for that matter. People fake their own deaths for insurance money in real life, why would it not be "realistic" for Bruce to send off Batman in a blaze of glory and go retire with a lady in Italy. Like I said in a previous comment. Faking his own death just to wink at Alfred in Italy is EXACTLY the kind of thing this Bruce would do. @@ScienceAndReasonLover
The ending was perfect because technically Batman had to die so Bruce can finally live 👏
Ooooh i like that.
Both Batman and Bruce Wayne was so mentally unstable damaged and angry he couldn’t really live his life, he finally did the hardest thing and that was to move on from that pain but not before saving Gotham well done Nolan
and john blake will be joining batman soon enough. without the wayne enterprises endless supply of gear and wealth, lack of training in stealth and combat. he isn't gonna last on the streets. lol
Beautifully put.
Play the games there you will see a more "dangerous" Batman
Nat: "I feel nothing for Christian Bayle's Batman."
Also Nat: Breaks down crying when Batman 'dies'.
She was talking about Christian Bale's acting not the script.
She was crying about all the dead fish.
Also to be fair... the first half of the script doesn't ask much of Bale's performance. They all act like "Batman needs to come back, then all will be fine" and Bruce Wayne is partially like "Damn you all and my ailments, I'm returning".
Everything moves as many would expect: Batman will reappear, will kick Bane's butt, deliver some witty replies in low raspy voice and everybody will be fine and happy dancing the BatiTwist... Until Bane breaks his back XD. For the audience not familiar with Batman's general storylines (and those maybe bothered going for the "oh yeah, predictable" feeling) this would have been a big shock boosting some interest for the second part of the fim (where Christian Bale actually starts to act better... in the sense that his emotions return XD).
I don't say that it was carefully planned (it could still be a mistake, in the sense that Nolan knew what he wanted and he didn't ask more emotional performances from his cast in the first half of the film in order to save time), but as far as many Batman comics go, it's an element that's been used before: "Oh, yeah; it's the goddam Batman; he has everything under control, nothing new to see... Jesus H. Christ; the dude is really hurt!".
When Nat said she was not getting anything from Bale, I just though "wait for it" XD.
@@Syntherus dont forget they have to act for the script
Why people ain't suggesting her to watch Zack Snyder's DCEU trilogy?
Funny story: I actually downloaded the entire Hans Zimmer score for The Dark Knight and I'd play it every morning while driving to work. I was the hero my office needed.
Hope that ride to work didn't include crashing through the divisions and driving over rooftops XD.
@@DocuzanQuitomos I wish.
Would have been fun to be able to climb over the rush hour traffic 😈
Now imagine living in Chicago and getting to drive on Lower Wacker drive with the score on full blast🔥. For those who don’t know, Lower Wacker is the underground road in the Dark Knight where Joker tries to kill Harvey while he’s being transported.
But not the one your office deserved.
That’s how I felt about his Interstellar and Man of Steel soundtrack
"You both have pointy ears, you'd make a great team!"
The Bat & The Cat
doing the dat!
"How did no one notice bombs being placed in all these locations?" They establish that earlier, they are posing as construction workers and mixing explosives into concrete that is being laid...no one would really notice construction workers laying concrete.
ya just like 9/11.
@@jefmay3053 edgy. Not biting.
@@jefmay3053 the twin towers weren’t even made of concrete, they were steel construction with concrete only really used in flooring. Go take your crazy conspiracy theories or edgy jokes (I don’t care which) and get out of here
@@chickenintrousers6723 nobody noticed construction workers planting explosives is all.
@@chickenintrousers6723
The 9/11 conspiracy is actually very possible. Not saying that's the case but it has a lot of crazy coincidences. Like a ridiculous amount of money being moved out the day before, how convenient. And the patriot act failing to be instated, only needing a terrorist attack big enough to instate it, oh wait, a terrorist attack coincidentally happened soon after...what are the odds...and many witnesses reporting hearing explosions go off at times when the plain did not hit. Idk about you, but to look at all of that and say, "nah you dumb for believing that" is foolish.
I'm not saying the conspiracy is true I'm just saying that I'm open minded unlike you.
It took me an embarrassing amount of time to realize that the prison was Christopher Nolan's take on the Lazarus Pit from the comics and it blew my mind.
Also, watch Tucker and Dale vs Evil.
Actually the prison is a thing in the comics as well. Bane was born in the prison of Peña Duro, forced to serve the life sentence of his father. The thematical similarities between this version of the prison and the Lazarus pits was a nice way of connecting Bane to Ra’s al Ghul though.
Tucker and Dale is awesome!
def not the Lazarus pit lol, but okay.
22:57 There's an older fan theory that they didn't show what Bane looked like cuz they wanted to suggest that he was beaten so badly that he doesn't have a bottom jaw. So the mask kinda fused into his face. I think Nolan likes to keep things a mystery like the Joker's past in the Dark Knight cuz he likes people to come up with their own conclusions. Makes the story more entertaining.
I feel like Christian Bale acts exactly how he's supposed to be acting.
He's a remarkable actor and also the least impressive performance in this series. Speaks more for the series and not a dig at my fav Bruce. (My fav Batman is Keaton, but Bale KILLS it as Bruce)
Until that lighting guy walked by and pulled him out of character. What was he Effin thinking!?!!?
@@Sandy-gg7to christian bale is also my fav live action bruce. favourite live action batman is ben afleck and favourite overall batman/bruce is KEVIN CONROY! he IS Batman!
Yeah, he's an amazing actor and for the longest time before the big movies I wouldn't recognize him in roles as he'd be so different. If he's wooden it's because the role is written and discussed that way. Batman is all under the surface and when he plays Bruce the playboy you see the smiles are fake.
@@kiryukaimemorial127 Bale got roasted for that, but he was 100% right. What kind of idiot moves around during filming, especially on a production that size? That's like day 1, lesson 1 of crew orientation. I can only imagine how much the re-set cost.
Out of the trilogy, this is my personal favorite. I adore the scene where Bruce finally climbs out of the pit. His father pulled him out of the well as a boy, but Bruce has to pull himself out of the pit as a man. This whole time, he has welcomed dying as Batman, but learning to fear death gives new life to his mission to save Gotham. I believe the bats aren't really there, but they're symbolic of his deepest fear. He has relearned the fear of death, and gives him the strength to keep living. He returns to Gotham to become the Bat one last time, but for Bruce Wayne to live, Batman must die. He and Selena can use the Clean Slate Protocol to start their new life together, and Bruce can rest easy knowing Gotham still has a protector in Blake as the new Batman. It's the only way Batman can ever have a happy ending, and I love it.
Wow, this is a much deeper take than I got out of that movie. Bravo 👏
You really should consider doing movie reviews.
I totally missed the symmetry between him falling in the well as a boy and freeing himself from the well as a man. Nice.
@@MoneyGist What, because he is making things up he wished were in the movie? Hm...
"Clean Slate Protocol" 🤦
My fav scene will always be Bane beating Bruce ass
Bruce giving Alfred what he wanted at the end made the series perfect. Alfred getting to be happy. Thats what mattered in the end
"the series perfect"... Welcome to the illusion of some of the most over-hyped films of all time.
(Well, if your point of reference is Transformers then yes, this is almost half decent.)
And if I am allowed to make a petty point: It's not a series, it's serial.
Have a great day!
@@j.m.w.5064 okay angry human
@@j.m.w.5064 to the face p
@@j.m.w.5064 All your points are petty. Have a nice day.
@@j.m.w.5064 The Dark Knight trilogy is a series. The argument for it to be a serial is weak, and even if it was correct I don't think calling it a series would become incorrect.
Yes, they are better when watched as a series in order, but they can be watched as standalone films. They have full resolution to their story. Neither of the first two films needed sequels to resolve dramatic cliffhangers. They left opportunity to make sequels, but that is extremely normal for all pop cinema today.
And if I am allowed to make a petty point: the way you talk to people makes you seem like a narcissistic douchebag.
I don't think it's possible to watch Michael Caine cry without also tearing up a bit. He really is a phenomenal actor.
"You'll just have to imagine the fire.," is one of my favorite quotes from the "Dark-Knight" trilogy. Due to the context in which Bane said it, and the way in which Tom Hardy delivered it. It's badass as well as being a real good quip.
They did so many takes of Talia's death and Marion was like, "THAT'S the one you chose?"
I honestly thought her melodrama was to give the audience an impression that she might be faking her death, that she might not really be dead.
Really?!? I just assumed they were in the last 2 minutes of shooting time before everyone had to go home before moving on to their next job. The director and/or editor really blew it on that one.
@@bigdream_dreambig If there is anything I can be sure of about Chris Nolan is that he is meticulous as hell, and I don't think he would include something in his film that he didn't want there EDIT: and it would be far from the first time he was ambiguous about a characters death in the Dark Knight series
@@jasonkh4 Well, in that case, I believe he misjudged. I know of no one who watched that shot and thought "I wonder if she's really dead?" Instead, everyone deemed it to be bad, jarring work by the actor, director, and/or editor.
@@bigdream_dreambig again, it was so blatantly melodramatic, so jarring from the gravity of the other performances, and such a pivotal moment in not just the film, but the series, that I believe he was trying to draw attention to the idea that people who are believed to be dead might not actually be, which would be in line with how he treated other characters. I don't know how familiar you are with Nolan's work, but the guy is definitely not an idiot lol
I'm wondering how many times him and cat woman had to sit at that restaurant waiting for Alfred to show up.
Well at least it seems like a very nice place to spend the afternoon.
It never happened in the first place
Bruce probably still has the intelligence contacts to be alerted when Alfred books his ticket to Italy(? Don’t remember which country) so he probably timed his visit to the cafe perfectly.
It’s probably their local favorite place where they go every day. More impressive of Alfred to find the right place. Or perhaps Bruce knew where Alfred used to go? Batman is a super detective after all.
@@tikoflores2000 That scene reminds me of the ending of Inception. I keep wondering if Alfred wasn't imagining what he wanted to see. Nolan strikes again!
I love how Catwoman and Scarecrow (Crane) are never named but identifiable by concepts. I heard that Joker was original supposed to be the "judge" rather than Scarecrow, which makes a lot of sense considering the choice between death and exile is quite Jokerish.
Scarecrow is named though.
@@ricksterdrummer2170 I found that out later, you're right
@@BrianNIL characters literally say "scarecrow" over and over and over in batman begins lol
@@lukess.s thanks, you corrected me after I admitted the mistake. congratulations.
Good thing it wasn’t actually the joker, he woulda stolen the show and everyone woulda wanted to see more of him. Heath Ledger was too good 😆
Fun fact: When Alfred wants to pay for his Fernet-Branca and spots Bruce being alive, he realises Bruce has taken care of that already since Bruce owns this place ...and Alfred puts his wallet away.
Nope. Bruce Wayne is dead, he don't own shit. Don't know what the name is of the guy with the fluffy hair but he does resemble Bruce Wayne and if fluffy hair guy owned any amount of real-estate anyone who has ever owned a TV would recognise him as a former multi-billionaire instantly. Alfred probably puts down his wallet in surprise and relief.
@@CBoy92 Bruce is alive
@@CBoy92 is this trolling, or were you heavily smoked writing this?
At the graves the "I failed you" wasn't to Bruce, it was to his parents
Theory: You went to see another movie but they had the trailer for The Dark Knight Rises which shows the pit scene and Bane with his voice.
Honestly that’s probably what happened. My memory is just horrible so I have no clue 😂
I think she really DID see the movie, but it really didn't register for her (except for a few random scenes) and it generally became background noise for her. Just something to be easily forgotten...
$5 on clairvoyance.
@@NatalieGoldReacts I think this is an example where they reveal too much in the movie trailers, which likely is what gave you the pit scene and the explosion in the football stadium
@@donaldball3245 Yeah. Because she doesn't knew who was Batman neither the history of the 2 others movies,
Michael Caine just goddamn hit it out of the park in this one. He isn't in many scenes in this movie, but goddamn I teared up every time he was.
I love The Dark Knight, but man TDKR is still my favorite. This trilogy is a certified classic and the best superhero trilogy to date.
I think he keeps his bat voice even tho no one is around, because, hes not consciously doing it. When he puts on the suit he becomes batman entirely, and that voice is part of Batman. My favorite scene is at the end, when they reveal the statue and gordon looks on with that look on his face, and the music that plays - oh its so good.
Yeah, traditionally with DC heroes. Especially with Batman and Superman, there's a duality going on.
Unlike Marvel where the superhero is like an extension of their character, someone like Superman is almost an entirely different person from Clark Kent. Like the guy gets so much into his character and method acting, that the secret identity is almost like a different person.
Of course, the more prominent interpretation of Batman is that Bruce Wayne died in that alley. But still he puts an act.
@@soubhagyanayak3098 The main difference in the outlook of Superman and Batman is the direction their duality comes from internally. Clark views his Superman identity as his Other Self, while Batman views Bruce Wayne as his.
He also doesnt trust in anyone so somebody or some micro hyden could listen his voice
"Peace has cost you your strength. Victory has defeated you!"
That line has stuck with me since I first saw it.
I like the look of judgment in Hardy's eyes when he delivers that line.
That, and his other line in there, "You fight like a young man. Nothing held back. Admirable, but mistaken." Both of those are incredibly wise. Part of what makes Bane so damn scary is just how intelligent he is.
Victory disease is a real thing.
Two sci-fi movies that I think you'd really enjoy: Edge of Tomorrow and Arrival.
Arrival is legit my second favorite movie. So good!
@@briangoodman3199 definitely top 10 of the 2010s. i still prefer prisoners though of villenueve's filmography. both perfect though and sicario.
"You can't kill Joseph Gordon-Levitt, he's too cute."
me: this girl has her facts straight.
The final 5 minutes of this movie are so emotional, Nolan is tying up a package of what could’ve been after losing Heath.
"Some days, you just can't get rid of a bomb!"
-Batman
Hope he had some Bat Spray Shark Repellent when he crashed in the water.
I wonder how many others are old enough to get that reference.
**does the Batusi**
Nice bat callback.
Oh god. I just realized that I need to see all the channels react to that movie.
I feel like the fact that Batman does so many line reversals, means that he's super petty - That's the only reason he would hang on to all those lines for so long, only to throw them back in people's faces. I don't know why, but Batman being petty is super funny to me
Well I mean he dresses up like a bat to fight crime because a criminal killed his parents. He isn't the best at letting things go
@@awesomedavid2012 I mean sure, but that's not petty, that's just realizing there's a problem and then deciding to fix it yourself. the line reversals however fell petty to me
Started laughing from the first line of your comment 😂
Then I saw you also pointed out how funny it was to think of Batman as "petty"
...like some Hollywood housewife 🤣
@@MoneyGist Just imagone Batman in the Bat-cave working on something and just saying "tHeN YOu hAVe mY peRMisSioN tO diE..." to himself in that mock-voice we all know
He was the same in the DCAU, it was to show his mental superiority
25:29 “Oh My God Think about all the Fish that are gonna die though?” 😂 That part made me Laugh. Lol.
Nat: "I feel like no other superhero movie has left me this emotionally devastated"
The comments: "Time to watch Logan"
Do we need all of the X-Men movies before that? Part of me wants to say no, just for the good cry out of Logan. But another part requires series completion.
@@TheSchnieder6 spoilers maybe??
i think that seeing Hugh Jackman throughout the other movies is required
She didn't say that at all lmao, she mentioned Endgame.
Logan is pretty spoiler-free. If there are any details pertaining to other films, they are minor to the plot of Logan.
The weight of Logan goes with the at least X1-X3, you can skip the rest but establishing the Professor is key.
When Alfred says “I have failed you” he’s actually talking to Thomas & Martha 🥺

Natalie: You'd make a great couple. I mean there'd be a lot of fights...
Me: Cat fights?
Ba dum chhhh
Yes I can imagine Bruce mocking her saying meow in his batman voice, then her calling him bird brain and batsh!t crazy.
But as we know from certain recent declarations from DC, the sex would be a bit boring.
@@HaganeNoGijutsushi It was pretty freaky in Watchmen, and you knew it was coming (no pun intended) then.
The inversion of a superhero movie with sex to a sex movie with superheroes is a shorter trip than some might think. It certainly would be for the press. Even if it is, as they say, 'artistically justified'.
@@alexanderriley2979 the joke is about a recent situation with the "Harley Quinn" show, which is adult oriented, satirical and pretty raunchy. Apparently DC vetoed one scene in S3 in which Batman was going down on Catwoman because "heroes don't do that".
That last shot with Bruce nodding at Alfred is so, so epic and emotional. The most emotional thing about it is something they didn't draw attention to, but had also been setting up throughout the movie. There, at the end, in the cafe on the banks of the Arno, as Alfred sits down with his Fernet-Branca. As Selina turns her head and moves her hair away from her neckline... she's wearing Martha Wayne's pearls.
...
...
...
I wonder if Bruce told her there was a tracker in them.
What I love so much is this movies overt symbolism; as a child, Bruce was carried out of the well by his father, but now, as a man, Bruce must carry himself out. That is why he rises
Exactly
You know, of all of the movies in the trilogy, this is the one I care the least about.
But seeing Nathalie *so goddamn happy* about Bruce surviving it all and ending up with Selina...
Yep - worth it! 😊
I hope she watches spider man: into the spider verse. She would love that movie.
Oh wow for some reason I totally thought she had
For real. That movie is awesome.
My favorite animated movie of all time. Just a beautiful piece of 21st century art 👌🏼
He has to watch all the spiderman films that have come so far to understand the upcoming no way home movie.
Batman: Mask of the Phantasm is another one that would be a great watch.
The best parallel is that the well is from his childhood and the prison. Why do we fall, so we can pick ourselves up. This trilogy is great!
Also an amazingly non-supernatural interpretation of the Lazarus Pit. Through the pit you are reborn!
"Bale not doing it for me"
Literally comments at all his line deliveries and love them XD
This was, yet again, a great reaction. And yes, I tear up everytime that scene with Alfred comes at the funeral.
Please react to The Last Samurai. It's a great movie.
“I’ll tell you how he lived.”
Alfred did what?
Batman is a method actor. He doesn't drop character until he's done the DVD commentary. That's why he never loses the voice.
Because hes the dude disguised as a dude playing the bat dude.
It's also a lot less cognitively taxing to just remember that when dressed as batman, talk like batman, instead of thinking about who is in earshot and adjusting the voice based on that. Reduces the chances of screwing up and using the wrong voice in the wrong situation.
Isn't it just a voice changer built into the suit?

Fun fact: senior year of HS for me 3 of my friends drove 4hrs across Pennsylvania and back to be part of the stadium crowd shots (filmed in Pittsburgh)

Yeah this story was stretched way too thin and convoluted. Got kind of tedious, honestly.
hes batman... thats the answer. or JL says his supe rpower is being rich
I'm so glad I subscribed to your channel. Your reactions are so pure and good. It's like watching all of these films for the first time all over again. Thank you.
Michael Caine is just devastating at that memorial service. The whole ending sequence is just excellent. I'm glad Nolan went on to make some of the things these movies allowed him to make - Interstellar, Dunkirk - but the world of fandom is worse off for never getting a standalone Catwoman movie with Anne Hathaway or a Robin/Nightwing movie with JGL
The franchise had fulfilled its purpose. If Nolan milked it, there is a chance it could have been ruined.
@@kanganaga1787 Completly agree with this statement! That was proper.
With DC really embracing their multiverse, it gives them another opportunity to see JGL as Nightwing.
I agree that JGL should have gotten a stand-alone, but not with Nolan. Nolan's work was done. Find another up.and coming director and give it to them. Different star, different Superhero, different director and let it be judged on its own.
Love the cut to black with the music sting at the end of all 3 movies.
"Gonna keep calling him Joseph, I don't care what his character name is" - about that...😒
Robin Gordon-Levitt
I usually get annoyed at reactors calling characters by other names but this took it to a whole new level lol
@@BrianNIL At least she figured it out in the end tho lmao
Would have preferred if they called him grayson or richard instead of robin. since that was the original robin's name. Dick Grayson.
Gordon asking for Batman’s identity, only for Batman to say that a hero could be anyone, and that Gordon was his hero was so emotional.
You put such a good spin on this movie & I loved your reaction like a lot of them. Thank you for this one!!
Opening scene introducing Bane parallels Batman at his height, snatching Lao from Hong Kong in the last film. Just as if to demonstrate that Bane is capable of what Batman was at his strongest.

Here's something I didn't realise until it got pointed out to me:
The part where he's looking everywhere to safely detonate the bomb is almost exactly like the 1960's movie where Batman has a big bomb over his head.
"Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb."
I just love the old police officer at the tunnel scene. He smiled like "Hehe, boys! The golden years are back!".
That line is taken right from The Dark Knight Returns graphic novel. It's a nice homage to one of the definitive Batman stories.
Watch PRESTIGE best Michael cane role ever . another Christopher masterpiece.
PLEASE watch!! 😂😂
Yes!!!!
Absolutely
Michael Caine best role is probably from Sleuth..
Or Jaws 4
EXTREMELY underrated film! One of my favorites
Fun fact. Adam West recorded a song all about Batman & Miranda back in the 60's
One of the DC gems. A perfectly made trilogy. The score and everything. Chills.
The reason why that person acted like Gary Oldman being Robin was a strange thought is because Commissioner Gordon is his own main character. It's like questioning whether Batman himself is Robin.
She was talking about the actor, Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
@@campagnollo No. she said she had previously guessed that Commisioner Gordon was Robin. Then she said, “Oh, I was close. Robin was one of the cops. Just not Gordon.” I’m paraphrasing there, but you get the idea
@@CGingerbreadman then dont use " " if your are paraphrasing lol
To be fair, there are comic book characters who go by different identities, even as heroes. Hawkeye/Ronin and Falcon/Captain America. So if you really don't know much about Batman at all, you can logically guess that Gordon could become his own masked side-kick for Batman, theoretically.
Also Robin is young. He was a teenager in the comics.
This and Interstellar are the most I’ve liked Anne Hathaway in movies
So you don’t like Anne?
“Rachel Getting Married” is very good. One of her best.
Devil Wears Prada though?
Watch havoc. You will like her for "other" reasons
@@zestd3722 Another good one.
Love your reactions. Love your channel. Proud subscriber and Patreon supporter. I watched this in the theater with my Dad. We were going to see “Prometheus”, but changed our minds. So glad we did.
Watching the end of your reaction brought a smile to my face, a really positive start to another grey Covid day. THANKS
I rate the Alex Honnold reference, not many people know who he is and he has accomplished some pretty crazy feats
For anyone wondering: Alex climbed so much stuff "free solo" aka without a rope that he's considered pne of the best climbers of all time.
The oscar winning docu "Freesolo" is about him climbing in yosemite and making history, check it out, thank this guy later.
Hard for Christian Bale to seem like a good actor when he’s constantly talking to people like Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman, Heath Ledger and Tom Hardy.
Right :x ...Maybe he's not the best Bruce Wayne impersonator, but he's the best Batman :D
Not really. Christian Bale is already a legend.
Yeah Bale wasn’t really given much material to really shine as an actor, but he was still solid throughout the trilogy
I think his best moment acting-wise was after Rachel’s death in TDK. He was also great in general at portraying the rich playboy persona of Bruce Wayne
My Cocaine
What the hell is this nonsense, Christian Bale was a Great Bruce Wayne and Batman, end of story.
There's like 15 alternate futures where Bruce and Selina end up married. Their chemistry transcends reality.
This is my favourite of the 3. A lot of the ppl say it's the 2nd one... but this one really plays your emotions big time... and the plot is genius.
If you want to continue with Batman, I heartily recommend the film "Batman: Mask of the Phantasm". It was the first animated Batman film to get a theatrical release and is considered by many to be the most faithful adaptation of Batman.
Fantastic movie
Yes but if so, don't watch the second one (Batman & Mr. Freeze: SubZero) without having watched Batman the Animated Series, at least the episode "Heart of Ice". The third (Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker) requires watching at least the pilot of Batman Beyond.
And for another take on Batman, "Batman: The Dark Knight Returns" , parts 1 and 2, are a splendid animated movie pair.
@@markgreene5926 You say pair but they've rereleased it as a single film.
@@markgreene5926 I agree wholeheartedly. The Dark Knight Returns was a much better take on the Batman/Superman rivalry than that abomination known as Batman v Superman.
This trilogy brings so much emotions. Michael Caine did such an amazing job, I cry everytime I see someone reacting to this trilogy. I see your point about Christian Bale, but I think that's a Batman thing. He is not an emotional character, not as Batman OR Bruce Wayne. But you can see how much he actually cares to the point of sacrificing his own reputation/life to save everyone. Overall, I really love this trilogy, so many memorable heroes/villains.
Definitely not a Batman thing. The character is portrayed horrendously in this series. His personality is so much more than just some brute with a raspy voice.
I don't think Bale is giving a bad performance by any means, it's just that he's being surrounded by a cast of more interesting characters being played by actors giving incredibly memorable and colourful performances. It's kind of like Mark Hamill in the original Star Wars trilogy, or Elijah Wood in the Lord of the Rings trilogy
@@christianwise637 Batman is incredibly nuanced and interesting, and yet they failed to get any of that in the series.
At first Michael Caine was reluctant to be Alfred because he thought all he would be is a background piece to fulfil the butler role, but Chris Nolan came to give him the script and told him how Alfred would be a father figure and play a smaller but vital role in the movie. Caine read the script and agreed to do Batman Begins.
...And Ann Hathaway wearing his mother's pearls in the last scene was the icing on this 3 layer cake for me.
"Oh he cracked his mask!"
Me: *That's not all he cracks* 😏
"Now he's gotta get back to Gotham. that's gonna be a real challenge.". Actually to quote Ryan George: It'll be super easy. Barely an inconvenience.
Oh wow..wow wow wow quoting Ryan George is TIGHT!
Wow wow wow. Wow.
I didn't mind that plot hole. Bruce Wayne was trained by the League of Shadows, he can easily get into the city without notice.
@@jyu467 I doubt anybody has ever questioned THAT he got in, but rather that he got there so quickly from North Africa.
I'm gonna need you to get AAAALLLLLLLL the way off my back about that.
I like how the "for you" internet meme got into her brain that well before she ever even watched the movie.
Two great examples of young Michael Caine are the original "Get Carter" and the original "Italian Job" (where the main heist actually IS in Italy).
Be warned, Get Carter is brutal.
The Italian Job is loaded with British humour.
Watched it at the cinema for the 40th anniversary, and at a particular point everyone shouted "You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!"
24:30 you can literally shoot, drop, heat, explode on the outside, whatever you can do to a nuclear warhead and it wont set it off, because NUCLEAR requires FISSION
Right. Also, the fact that a cubic foot of uranium weighs over 1000 lbs explains why the Bat had such a hard time lifting it.
It won't blow up but it could leak. Not a great way to go.
The high explosive shell around the core might go off.
Or Fusion in this case, but your point still stands. :)
I love that ending so much as well. Its not only a call back to early in the film. It also calls back to when Bruce had to find the blue flower. Selena at the end wearing the blue dress is perfect. The flower represents a token of what he is fighting/looking for. Now Selena is that rare person who he can finally be happy with.
That’s actually a reach. Lmao. It’s not a deliberate choice. The blue flower had nothing to do with Selina’s outfit in the climax. The screenplay also doesn’t say that at all.
The fact that you know who Alex From free solo is, is amazing! That doc was soooo visceral. I was on the edge the whole time.
Fun fact: the original villain for the film was going to be Mr. Reece from The Dark Knight, and as he deduced Batman’s identity it would’ve been him bankrupting Bruce Wayne.
Because Mr. Reece was a play on words for Mystery.
As in Enigma.
As in E. Nigma.
As in The Riddler.
I doubt it since Bruce saved his life in the second movie, that'd be just narrative whiplash.
Christopher Nolan has confirmed it, @@Mansplainer2099-jy8ps, and look at all the times Batman has saved the life of Catwoman and she still commits crime.
@@TheManInTheLongBlackCoat What does committing "crime" have to do with anything?
And:
Batman: "You! But... I saved your life even though you were going to expose me!"
Mr. Reece: "Yeah, but you know, my name so yeah, I'm your nemesis now, mwahahaha! You're going down, dark knight! The Joker gave me that nudge just like he did Harvey, it's not repetitive! Burn, baby, burn!"
Audience: "Okay, this jumped the shark, I'm telling everyone on the Internet not to go see this."
No point moaning about something that never happened, @@Mansplainer2099-jy8ps; and all I’ve done is give a fun fact. screenrant.com/dark-knight-rises-movie-nolan-no-riddler-reason/
He always uses the voice because if you get in the habit of dropping the voice you could drop it at a really wrong moment. When he's in the suit, he uses it period.
I thought, might be wrong though, that he had a voice modulator.
That might be JL/BvS which is not part of the DCEU
@@krisssmith477 yeah, that's Batfleck.
Batman: “Sorry, I would’ve been here earlier but it took a while to put my logo on everything. Always be repping uour brand!”
Also Batman: “Visit my site for all the latest merch. Before I save Gotham, I would like to give a big thanks to my sponsor Hello Fresh....”
Your reactions are gold. Love the energy you give off!
Did you notice that Selina was wearing Martha's pearls? A wedding gift from Bruce no doubt
I'm throwing out a suggestion for next react: "Master and Commander", with Russell Crowd and Paul Bettany. It is a totally underrated film and an absolute classic. Doesn't get the love it deserves!
I don't think it is that underrated... 10 Oscar nominations...
Just think it got devoured by the Return of the King hype during that year.
YES!
I don't know if it would be a good react or not, so I won't opine on that part, but I absolutely think Master and Commander is criminally underrated. It's only a half-step behind Gladiator but I don't know if I've ever talked to a casual film fan who has actually seen it.
I'm not sure it'd be the best movie to react to because there are times where it isn't super exciting or anything, but I will agree that it's an underrated movie. When it first came out there was a ton of hype and I got it on DVD and absolutely hated it. It came out right around Pirates of the Caribbean and I was expecting it to be that sort of movie and it...most definitely was not. Over time you learn to appreciate it for what it is and it's a very well made movie with some great acting. I just don't know if it's the best to react to, but yes...most definitely underrated.
I don't know what any of you are talking about, besides the 10 OSC noms it's rated 85/80 on RT.
JGL doesn't become Robin. It doesn't make sense that he would use his real name as his secret identity. Even in interviews Christopher Nolan says that he becomes the new Batman
I always thought that had the story continued it would have been the beginning of Nightwing.
He was Robin the whole movie. He was acting in a sidekick role the whole time We just didn't know his name. On rewatch there are so many instances where they were acting as a team.
i love your dedication to the Gordon family.
Bane breaking Batmans back is actually from the comics “knightfall”storyline. The “broken Bat”
Amazing trilogy. This movie in particular hits hard as I can't help but think about the 12 lives lost in Aurora, Colorado. Fellow Batman fans who should still be here today. May their spirits be at peace.
This movie is actually pretty decent and a really good finale to the trilogy
@Lycan I agree that it wasn’t as good as the dark knight and frankly people shouldn’t have excepted the 3rd to be just as good that’s a pretty high bar, but I still think Batman begins is the second best. The setup of that first movie is incredible
i actually disagree, i watched it a few months ago and sometimes i even laughed out loud because of how ridiculous some stuff was
@Lycan I don't hate it because it's not the Dark Knight, I hate it because it has an idiotic, nonsensical plot. The stock market thing requires a level of suspension of disbelief that completely takes me out of it. If someone did that to the stock market, they wouldn't jsut be like "well, I guess they got us, and even though we know it's completely artificial, rules are rules and we have to let it crash." LOL Fuck no. They'd be like "yeah, so anything that happened after XX:XX o'clock on that day will be reversed and they'd just reset everything to prior to the event. The stock exchanges are literally corporations, and while they are regulated by the government, they ultimately can do what they want. Shit, the government wouldn't allow anything that happened that day to stick either. It's just so fucking stupid.
The whole thing with a prison that is just a hole, and if you can climb out of it you're free? What a fucking stupid concept... So, what, only the strongest criminals are allowed to escape to once again wreak havoc on society? Makes no goddamn sense.
Also, Bane's voice is stupid and distracting as hell... This just isn't a good movie, and it has nothing to do with it not being The Dark Knight and everything to do with being disappointed in Nolan for making this pile of shit after two stellar films. On the contrary, I think many people like yourself only think it's good BECAUSE it's the last movie in Nolan's Batman trilogy. You WANT it to be good. But it's objectively shit.
@CYB3R2K30 Batman is far more grounded in reality than many other comic book series... That said, that's not really an excuse. A story still needs to be internally consistent. They weren't in the stock market of some fantastical world, it was supposed to be an event that could possibly happen in our world because they purposefully made it VERY CLOSE (if not identical) to our the NYSE. That's honestly just a lame excuse for plot holes.
@CYB3R2K30 I'm far from the only one who hates this movie for it's awful, plot-hole ridden story. Seriously, look into it.
Shouldn't have edited out the very last scene of ROBIN RISING in the BATCAVE.
Gives me chills every single time.
When Bruce tells gordon Who he is, he really is just letting him know that no matter all The things batman/Bruce did and how everyone saw him as a hero, Gordon was always his hero❤️
Everyone who hasn’t read comics 100% buys that Bane is Ras Al Guhl’s child. Everyone.
As someone whose read several comics featuring Bane in some way, I absolutely ate it up lmao. Thought it was an artistic liberty
Yea thats the thing is that I played all the Arkham games as well as reading the comics to a point, I still really enjoyed the movie though!
Lol I beat Arkham City before seeing this and still fell for this. Got fought up in the movie.
As a comic reader, the moment Marion Cottilion was cast I knew she was Talia. Even when they announced her playing “someone else”, I knew she was still Talia.
@@Pancake_ice_420 Man, the Arkham games were so much fun. I even loved Knight, despite the overuse of the Batmobile-tank thing.
During Bruce's dance with Celine, they're at a masquerade ball, everyone is wearing a mask except for Bruce, because, as Rachel said in the first movie, his face was his mask. During his last fight with Bane, that's the only time he's seen as Batman in the daylight. And in the very end, when Alfred sees Bruce and Celine sitting together, she's wearing the pearls.
I just LOVE your reactions. If you haven't already, I recommend the DCEU series in chronological order, starting with Man of Steel (Superman), Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (the extended cut ONLY as the theatrical version was crap), Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Justice League (not the original piece of crap that destroyed Zach Snyder's vision, but the four hour Snyder Cut that was released on HBO Max... such an amazing piece of art), Shazam, and Wonder Woman 84 (I don't care what anyone says, good movie). I know that these days the Marvel Cinematic Universe is what everyone really loves, but I was raised on the original Superman films (70s and 80s), and the Tim Burton Batman films (plus Batman Forever). Marvel wasn't really in the film market when those came out, so I'm a DC fanboy because it was my childhood. Also, check out the original Batman films from the 80s/90s.
Earlier: "Christian Bale isn't really doing it for me, he's giving me nothing"
-25:07 time stamp
Bale admitted that he wished he had done more with his role. I don't think he was ever 100% committed.
@@imajhawk6146 I think he might have felt boxed in.
Traditionally, Batman's usually been almost a secondary character in his own story. The villains are more flashy and interesting and here's Bruce over here, trying hard not to be noticed, and kinda broody.
And when he gets the camera, his character isn't able to do a lot except stoically get out of the pit because he has a city to save before they run out of movie.
Role of Bruce Wayne is not easy
But i still think that Bale was the best Bruce Wayne. Batfleck was the best Batman
@@imajhawk6146 I think physically he was definitely 100% committed like you should’ve seen what he looked like for the machinist compared to how he looked like in batman begins
