Born, both literally as well as figurately, in the slum bottom of the social hierarchy, Bane (Tom Hardy) harbors a disdain for the aristocratic elite of Gotham and in effect, incites a class conflict, as heard in his speech before releasing the prisoners of Blackgate Penitentiary.

Similar to what they did in the sequel, the Nolan brothers take inspiration from the political climate of the time, devising a plot that pretty blatantly centered around contemporary socioeconomics. And during those years, Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) has retired from crime-fighting, living an almost Howard-Hughes-like reclusive lifestyle, suggesting his disappointment in the symbol he originally set out for inspiring the people.

It treads softly on the ethical idea of circumventing the law and extending the power of the police to catch criminals, such as the Dent Act proving a success in eradicating criminal organizations. Picking up eight years after the events of the previous film, Nolan explores the ramifications of Bruce's decision to become a vigilante and endure the city's backlash. And although The Dark Knight Rises is arguably not on par with the sequel, it thankfully lived up to expectations and thoughtfully expanded on the grounded-in-reality universe set forth by Batman Begins. In the second installment to Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy, the visionary filmmaker set the bar incredibly high, not only creating the rare sequel that surpasses its predecessor but also giving moviegoers what is largely considered the best comic adaptation ever.
