Shouldn't the people of Gotham know who the hero was that saved their city?

Date: Saturday 8th December
Film: The Dark Knight Rises (2012)
Director: Christopher Nolan
Starring: Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Tom Hardy and Anne Hathaway
Running Time: 02 hours, 45 minutes
Rating: 9/10

Saturday night, full of Chinese, a glass of wine in hand and Luce and I found ourselves snuggled under blankets in her cabin at the end of the garden to complete The Dark Knight Trilogy.

Whilst The Dark Knight Rises isn't as good as The Dark Knight, it is still a wonderful film. The cast has been boosted with the additions of Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Anne Hathaway, two people who I believe can do no wrong. They both, in any film they are in, steal every single scene and The Dark Knight Rises is no exception to this.

This film wraps up the trilogy nicely, giving a sense of resolution to all the characters.

Good job I'd already seen this a couple of times, I might have fallen asleep for a bit in the middle. That's the danger of starting an almost 3 hour long film after 11pm.

I love The Dark Knight Trilogy, and not just because of my massive Gary Oldman crush (although that helps things).

You know that day that you once told me about, when Gotham would no longer need Batman? It's coming.

Date: Saturday 8th December
Film: The Dark Knight (2008)
Director: Christopher Nolan
Starring: Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Aaron Eckhart and Michael Caine
Running Time: 02 hours, 32 minutes
Rating: 9.5/10

It made sense, after watching Batman Begins the previous day, to fill the rest of our weekend with the remainder of the trilogy.

The Dark Knight is, in my opinion, the best of the three films. The threat, the bad guy, seems more real. The Joker isn't fiddling with chemicals or nuclear reactions, he isn't working with a group of others; The Joker is a mad man. Pure and simple.

This character, played amazingly by Heath Ledger, steals the show with every scene he turns up in. The Dark Knight is full of action and suspense.

This is a great, great film, both as part of the trilogy and on it's own.

Gotham isn't beyond saving.

Date: Friday 7th December
Film: Batman Begins (2005)
Director: Christopher Nolan
Starring: Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Liam Neeson and Katie Holmes
Running Time: 2 hours, 20 minutes
Rating: 9/10

It's no secret, I love Superhero movies, and Batman Begins is no exception.

The first in Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy and, whilst it is not the best of the tree, Batman Begins is a brilliant re-imagining of the Batman universe. Christian Bale plays the brooding titular character wonderfully, with a great supporting cast including Michael Caine, Gary Oldman and Katie Holmes.

Nolan has 'gone dark' in the best way possible; unlike more traditional superhero movies, this isn't all slick, bright and glossy. You get the feeling that these criminals really could be working underground around the city.

I only have one issue with Batman Begins, the vapouriser. If this machine turns water into vapour just by driving above the pipes containing liquids, how are people safe to be around it - surely it would vapourise the water in their bodies?

I think I've thought too much about this. I really should get out more.
