In the 2012 action-crime thriller The Dark Knight Rises, the epic conclusion to filmmaker Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight Trilogy,” Gotham City is threatened by the masked terrorist Bane, forcing Batman to return from an eight-year absence and fight for his city one more time.
Directed and co-written by Christopher Nolan, the PG-13-rated film stars Christian Bale (The Fighter) in the the dual role of Bruce Wayne/Batman, a character he portrayed in the trilogy’s first two installments, Batman Begins (2005) and The Dark Knight (2008). The all-star cast also includes Tom Hardy (Inception) as Bane and Anne Hathaway (Love & Other Drugs) as Selina Kyle, The Catwoman, along with Marion Cotillard (Contagion), Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Hesher), Michael Caine (The Cider House Rules), Gary Oldman (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy) and Morgan Freeman (Red).
Tom Hardy's Bane (l.) and Christian Bale's Batman go at it in The Dark Knight Rises.
The Dark Knight Rises was lauded by critics and audiences upon its theatrical across the globe in July, 2012. The positive vibes translated into a $450 million box office gross in the U.S. and an international box office take of more than $1 billion. Yeash!
