I’ve loved Christian Bale since Newsies, so I was thrilled when he was cast as Batman. I’ve found all three of these movies to be excellent. This third movie was dark- we knew it had to be after the second one. We were faced with a Bruce Wayne who was in hiding, who no longer cared about the world around him.

But it ended with hope- just a small slice of it, but hope none the less.

In the movie, Bain believed leaving people with hope was the greatest punishment. We were reminded that instead, it is the greatest gift.
