Spoiler Alert!

Well, this time, I won't write much aside from the review of The Dark Knight Rises (TDKR) and compare the villain the main villains.

In the beginning of TDKR, Batman had to fight a villain named Bane. A disciple of Ra's Al-Ghul, Batman's mentor, who's plan is to destroy Gotham for good.

Well, Bane's persona, as far as I can see and remember, resembles the combination of both Joker and Ra's Al-Ghul. His desire to bring destruction to Batman as an individual as well as Gotham and his ability to 'control' the mass' is pretty similar to Joker although it seems to be a bit inferior, as his method of achieving them is via brute force. Which was Ra's Al-Ghul's path towards Gotham's destruction. He was able to bring Batman into his downfall by beating him into a half-death condition and tortured him by showing the destruction of Gotham. However, this was possible because he had his hands on a nuclear bomb.

The usage of Bane as Batman's nemesis in TDKR successfully improved the 'action' in the movie and added the taste of 'complexity'. Overall, I'd say this movie deserves a 8.5/10. Oh btw, that was based on the villain only. If all of the aspects such as the story line and the portrayal of other characters are counted, I'd give a 9.5/10. But I don't want to spoil too much lol.

Now, the comparison between Bane and Joker. As I've mentioned before, Bane successfully took control of  Gotham by oppression. He was able to bring despair into Batman by beating him in a hand to hand combat and showed that Batman stood no chance. This was possible because Batman had 'retired' for years and wasn't able to unleash his maximum combat potential. Bane in different ways, can be pictured as Gotham's version of Hitler.

Joker, on the other hand, used almost no brute force. What he did was simple. Manipulating the truth and bring doom to Batman's state of mind as well as the city. He was able to destroy Gotham's only hope, Harvey Dent, by dragging him into the dark side and turn him into a murderous villain. He managed to totally twist the meaning of good and bad and made people dance on his hands just like puppets.

As for Ra's Al-Ghul.. nevermind him. It's been quite a while since I last watched Batman Begins and I don't feel like writing anymore lol. Anyways, I prefer Joker out of the 3 villains as he nearly destroyed the city almost without being involved directly.

Btw, I know some of the wordings are off and not as good as other reviewers. But bear with it. I'm not a professional reviewer and I've lost a lot of my vocabularies and I've never been that rich in it to begin with lol.
