This July 16, 2012 photo released by Starpix shows actor Christian Bale, left, and director Christopher Nolan at the world premiere of their film "The Dark Knight Rises," in New York. Nolan shot nearly half of his Batman finale using bulky IMAX cameras, whose 70mm frame is about 10 times the size of standard movie film. He also insisted that distributor Warner Bros. release “The Dark Knight Rises” in at least 100 IMAX cinemas that can project it on film rather than in the digital format that has been gradually replacing celluloid.
In this July 7, 2012, photo, from left, actor Morgan Freeman, actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt, actress Anne Hathaway, director Christopher Nolan, actor Christian Bale, actor Gary Oldman, and actor Michael Caine, from the upcoming film "The Dark Knight Rises," pose during a photo shoot in Beverly Hills, Calif.

Leave it to a surfer dude to penetrate Batman's bubble.
A good trilogy centered on a superhero has yet to be accomplished. Some series, such as “Superman” and Sam Raimi’s “Spider-Man,” have come close to having a great trilogy. But whether it’s due to Richard Pryor or an idiotic dance sequence, they always seem to screw up the third installment. Christopher Nolan is the first filmmaker to completely nail a superhero franchise from beginning to end.

But whether it’s due to Richard Pryor or an idiotic dance sequence, they always seem to screw up the third installment. Christopher Nolan is the first filmmaker to completely nail a superhero franchise from beginning to end. “The Dark Knight Rises,” his grand conclusion to the Batman saga, is a film well worthy of its two exceptional predecessors. To call this the pinnacle collection of superhero pictures goes without saying. But “The Dark Knight Rises” additionally engraves Nolan’s take on the Batman legend into the history books as one of the best movie trilogies of all time.
LOS ANGELES — Batman has all the gadgets Bruce Wayne's resources can buy, but he doesn't have one thing nearly every other summer blockbuster has: 3-D.
SAN DIEGO - Back in the day, Tim Burton remembers critics finding his take on Batman rather gloomy.
