The Dark Knight Rises
Eight years after disappearing, Bruce Wayne is drawn back as a masked revolutionary takes Gotham hostage.
Included to complete the arc: uneven but ambitious, a blockbuster willing to end on cost rather than triumph.
Gotham has enjoyed years of peace built on a lie, and Bruce Wayne has withdrawn from the world. The arrival of Bane, a disciplined and brutal insurgent, and of a cat burglar with her own agenda forces him back into a role his body can no longer easily bear. Nolan closes his trilogy on a vast canvas of class anger, sacrifice and endurance.

A deliberate step up in what the film asks: slower, more severe, and unwilling to meet you halfway.
