There may be many people who might disagree with this critical assessment of The Dark Knight Rises since it was the biggest films of 2012. Heck, Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy generated a huge following of loyal fans, some of which probably believe that Nolan can do no wrong, but keep an open mind and discover why The Dark Knight Rises was ultimately a weak movie.
For a man to be in the state of depression because of some chick (Rachel Dawes) who he barely sees in the movie was very weak. | Full Story
Christopher Nolan hasn’t wasted any time in letting audiences know his role in the very recent (and very lucrative) Batman trilogy has concluded with The Dark Knight Rises. A recent article from TotalFilm.com has claimed the famed director’s story regarding Bruce Wayne and crime fighting has ultimately finished.
Christopher Nolan is the director of such hits as Memento, Inception, The Prestige, and of course, the trilogy comprised of Batman Begins, The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises. | Full Story
Joseph Gordon-Levitt‘s name has been dropped to play Batman in Justice League, the next superhero flick requiring big budgets and even bigger names. The rumor, unconfirmed of course, comes from the prominent blog of Drew McWeeny, who used a bit of critical thinking along with unspecified sources to draw this somewhat wild conclusion.
“They’re a long way from filming anything Justice League related,” wrote McWeeny, “but they appear to be solidifying deals for Gordon-Levitt and, potentially, at least one other actor from the Nolan films to do… something.”
“They,” of course refers to Warner Bros., the studio responsible for putting the DC heroes together in (hopefully) the same fashion as The Avengers. | Full Story
It’s only fitting one of the biggest movies of the year should warrant a jam-packed Blu-Ray and DVD release. The Dark Knight Rises, the final chapter in Christopher Nolan’s epic, genre-defining Batman trilogy, will be released on home video December 4th. Something tells me a lot of excited fanboys and fangirls will be asking Santa for this one.
Today, Warner Bros. announced the list of special features on The Dark Knight Rises Blu-Ray. | Full Story
In China, the Hollywood blockbusters The Amazing Spider-Man and The Dark Knight Rises were forced to face-off in theaters on the same day.
The state-owned movie distributor, China Film Group, assigned the same release date to the two films in order to limit the success of American movies while boosting the revenues of locally produced Chinese films, according to the L.A. Times.
Zhang Hongsen, deputy head of the film bureau controlled by the State Administration of Radio Film and Television told the state-owned People’s Daily newspaper, “We hope those protective measures will be able to create a space for domestic movies to survive and grow.”
The Amazing Spider-Man defeated The Dark Knight Rises as the two superhero films competed for viewers in the country with the second largest movie market. | Full Story
The Dark Knight Rises falls to the third spot after three weeks at the top.
Taking the top box office spot this week is Universal’s The Bourne Legacy, which is no big surprise. The studio expects it to make $42.2 million this weekend, which it’s perfectly on track to make. The film, staring Jeremy Renner, who picks up where former lead Matt Damon left off, is showing in 3,746 theaters. | Full Story
The Dark Knight Rises easily took the top spot in the domestic box office for the third straight weekend. The film is down only 41%…earning an estimated $36 million.
Two new films hit the market this weekend, Total Recall and Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days. One of the movies was supposed to be real competitive with The Dark Knight Rises. Despite being heavily marketed, the Sci-Fi action thriller Total Recall, proved to be no match for the caped vigilante. | Full Story

Unlike Holmes’ first court appearance, cameras were not allowed in the courtroom by the judge. | Full Story
The Dark Knight Rises was on pace to make $160 million in the box office, which would be a record for 2-D films, but figures are uncertain due the mass shooting at a theater showing the Batman film in Aurora, Colorado.
Other media outlets have made some guesses that despite the incident, the film still earned $160 to $162 million.
If those numbers are correct, that amount would beat The Dark Knight debut in 2008 of $158.4 million. | Full Story
