This is the third and concluding feature in director Christopher Nolan’s series of Batman films, starting with Batman Begins and continuing with The Dark Knight. Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman and Morgan Freeman reprise their roles from the earlier two films. Tom Hardy enters as Bane, the menacing foe of Gotham City, and Anne Hathaway as his associate Selina Kyle aka Catwoman. Although Batman is now considered the enemy of Gotham after admitting to killing Harvey Dent, when Bane overwhelms the city’s policeforce, Batman steps in to protect his city.
