Sound and Fury: ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ Against Theme and Story
By Christopher Sebela
Each of Christopher Nolan’s Batman films opens with a quiet, singular image forming the unmistakeable bat symbol. They’re cinematic palate cleansers before the business of Batman begins in earnest. In Batman Begins, it is a sky full of bats; in The Dark Knight, it is a wall of flames; but the opening image of The Dark Knight Rises is notable for two reasons: the bat symbol appearing from cracking ice is muddy, only there if you look for it, and it is overlaid with the film’s opening lines of dialogue. If you wanted to, you could say that the first ten seconds of The Dark Knight Rises spell out all the problems that lay ahead: here is a film both rushed and obscured.SPOILER WARNING: The following contains massive spoilers for The Dark Knight Rises.Read More.
