I saw the Dark Knight Rises with my best friend on July 29th. I think it was the best Batman film ever made. I was skeptical going in, but I LOVED it.
Anne Hathaway surprised me and did an amazing job as Catwoman.

This movie was a major pay off for me. It paid homage (accidental or on purpose) to SO many different Batmans of the past, it was incredible!
60'S BATMAN TV SHOW
- Catwoman's costume (with hints from the newer comic book version of her costume, like goggles and the front zipper).
BATMAN RETURNS:
- Selina and Bruce dancing scene
- Catwoman causing chaos and teaming up with the big bad
- Winter at the end
BATMAN THE ANIMATED SERIES
- Arkham Asylum putting the heroes on trial. I LOVED that episode! Joker would probably have been the judge if Heath Ledger was still alive.
