The capper to Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy is the weakest of the three, with its mumbling villain and troublingly reactionary politics, but it’s still packed with thrilling moments (the football pitch bombing! The mid-air heist! The French revolutionary trial!) and some dense and ambitious plotting. This time the theme is about getting yourself back up and going back into the fray, and sure enough that’s what Bale’s Bruce does, again and again, no matter what Tom Hardy’s Bane throws at him. The star of the show this time, however, is Anne Hathaway’s slinky, mischievous Catwoman, stealing hearts and diamonds with equal ease.
