Shakefire writes, "For the past seven years Christopher Nolan has given fans a much darker and realistic version of the Batman. In Batman Begins he introduced us to the hallucinogenic toxins of the Scarecrow and followed it up with the psychotic Joker in The Dark Knight. The franchise comes to a stunning conclusion in The Dark Knight Rises, but can Nolan rise above Heath Ledger’s Oscar winning performance or is the Batman destined to fall?"
