THE FILM OF THE DAY
While Robert Pattinson is currently succeeding Ben Affleck as Batman, Christopher Nolan’s saga dedicated to the famous DC superhero, worn by Christian Bale, has been rebroadcast on TMC and concludes tonight with the latest installment, The Dark Knight Rises.
After having faced Ra’s Al Ghul and the Scarecrow in Batman Begins, then the Joker in The Dark Knight – Le Chevalier Noir, the Batman now attacks Bane, a true force of nature embodied by Tom Hardy.
Upon its release, The Dark Knight Rises achieves the same success as the previous opus by generating more than a billion dollars in worldwide revenue. In France, it totals more than 4 million admissions, ie 1 million more than for the second episode. Since then, viewers have nevertheless refined their preferences since The Dark Knight Rises has an average of 4.3/5 slightly lower than that of The Dark Knight, which is 4.5/5.
