Goyer. Featuring the DC Comics character Batman, the film is the final installment in Nolan's ''Batman'' film trilogy, and the sequel to ''Batman Begins'' (2005) and ''The Dark Knight'' (2008). Christian Bale reprises the lead role of Bruce Wayne/Batman, with a returning cast of allies: Michael Caine as Alfred Pennyworth, Gary Oldman as James Gordon, and Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox. The film introduces Selina Kyle (Anne Hathaway), a sly, morally ambiguous cat burglar, and Bane (Tom Hardy), a revolutionary bent on destroying Gotham City who forces an older Bruce Wayne to come out of retirement and become Batman again. Christopher Nolan was hesitant about returning to the series for a second time, but agreed after developing a story with his brother and Goyer that he felt would conclude the series on a satisfactory note. Nolan drew inspiration from Bane's comic book debut in the 1993 "Knightfall" storyline, the 1986 series ''The Dark Knight Returns'', and the 1999 storyline "No Man's Land". Filming took place in locations including Jodhpur,〔http://www.firstpost.com/bollywood/why-jodhpur-locals-thought-the-dark-knight-cast-was-nuts-373345.html〕 London, Nottingham, Glasgow, Los Angeles, New York City, Newark, and Pittsburgh. Nolan used IMAX 70 mm film cameras for much of the filming, including the first six minutes of the film, to optimize the quality of the picture. A vehicle variation of the Batplane and Batcopter termed the "Bat", an underground prison set, and a new Batcave set were created specifically for the film. As with ''The Dark Knight'', viral marketing campaigns began early during production. When filming concluded, Warner Bros. refocused its campaign: developing promotional websites, releasing the first six minutes of the film, screening theatrical trailers, and sending out information regarding the film's plot. ''The Dark Knight Rises'' premiered in New York City on July 16, 2012. The film was released in Australia and New Zealand on July 19, 2012, and in North America and the United Kingdom on July 20, 2012. Upon release it received critical acclaim and is widely considered by publications to be one of the best films of 2012.〔http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/afi-names-best-movies-tv-399891〕〔http://www.rollingstone.com/movies/lists/the-best-movies-of-2012-20121212〕〔http://www.totalfilm.com/features/50-best-movies-of-201〕〔http://www.complex.com/pop-culture/2012/12/2012-year-in-review-best-movies/the-dark-knight-rises〕 Like its predecessor, the film grossed over $1 billion worldwide at the box office, making it the second film in the ''Batman'' film series, and by extension the second film based on a DC Comics character, to earn $1 billion. It is currently the 15th-highest-grossing film of all time, the third-highest-grossing film of 2012, and the fourth-highest-grossing superhero film of all time. ==Plot== Eight years after the events of the second film, the Dent Act, dedicated to the late district attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart), grants the Gotham City Police Department powers which nearly eradicate organized crime. Feeling guilty for covering up Dent's crimes, Police Commissioner James Gordon (Gary Oldman) writes a resignation speech confessing the truth but decides not to use it. Batman (Christian Bale) has disappeared, and his alter ego, billionaire socialite Bruce Wayne, has become a recluse. Cat burglar Selina Kyle (Anne Hathaway) obtains Bruce's fingerprints from his home, kidnaps congressman Byron Gilley (Brett Cullen), then disappears to hand the fingerprints to Phillip Stryver (Burn Gorman), an assistant to Bruce's business rival John Daggett (Ben Mendelsohn), in hope of having her criminal record erased so that she could commit crimes under the name "Catwoman". Stryver double-crosses Catwoman, but she uses the Gilley's stolen phone to alert the police to their location. Gordon and the police arrive to find the congressman, and then pursue Stryver's men into the sewers while Catwoman flees. A masked militant called Bane (Tom Hardy) captures Gordon and steals his speech, but Gordon escapes and is found by John Blake (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), a once-orphaned patrol officer who has deduced Batman's true identity from their similar backgrounds. Gordon promotes Blake to detective, with Blake reporting directly to him. Wayne Enterprises is unprofitable after Bruce discontinued his fusion reactor project when he learned that the core could be weaponized. Later, Bane attacks the Gotham Stock Exchange, using Bruce's fingerprints in a transaction that bankrupts Bruce. Bruce's butler Alfred Pennyworth (Michael Caine), concerned that Bruce has not moved on from being Batman, reveals that Bruce's childhood best friend, the late assistant district attorney Rachel Dawes (Maggie Gylenhaal), had intended to marry Dent before she died. Alfred then resigns in an attempt to dissuade Bruce. Fearing that Daggett, Bane's employer, would gain access to the reactor, Bruce asks Wayne Enterprises board member Miranda Tate (Marion Cotillard) to take over his company. After being promised the software to erase her criminal record, Catwoman agrees to take Batman to Bane but instead leads him into Bane's trap. Bane reveals that he intends to fulfill Ra's al Ghul's (Liam Neeson) mission to destroy Gotham with the League of Shadows remnant. He engages Batman and delivers a crippling blow to his back, before taking him to a foreign, well-like prison where escape is virtually impossible. There, the inmates tell Bruce the story of Ra's al Ghul's child, born in the prison and cared for by a fellow prisoner before escaping—the only prisoner to have ever done so. Bruce assumes the child to be Bane. Meanwhile, Bane lures Gotham police underground and collapses the exits with them in it. He kills Mayor Anthony Garcia (Nestor Carbonell) and forces a Russian nuclear physicist he kidnapped from Uzbekistan six months prior, Dr. Leonid Pavel (Alon Abutbul), to convert the reactor core into a nuclear bomb. Bane uses the bomb to hold the city hostage and isolate Gotham from the world. Using Gordon's stolen speech, Bane reveals the cover-up of Dent's crimes and releases the prisoners of Blackgate Penitentiary, initiating a revolution. The wealthy and powerful have their property expropriated, are dragged from their homes, and are given show trials presided over by Dr. Jonathan Crane (Cillian Murphy), where any sentence means likely death. After months of recovery from his injury and re-training, Bruce escapes from the prison and enlists Selina, Blake, Tate, Gordon, and Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman) to help stop the bomb's detonation. While the police and Bane's forces clash, Batman apprehends Bane and interrogates him of the location of the bomb's trigger, but Tate intervenes and stabs Batman, revealing herself to be Talia al Ghul,〔http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/dark-knight-rises-films-christopher-nolan-1472418〕 Ra's al Ghul's daughter. Talia escaped the prison aided by her fellow prisoner and protector, Bane. She plans to complete her father's work by detonating the bomb and destroying Gotham, but Gordon blocks her signal, preventing remote detonation. Talia leaves to find the bomb while Bane prepares to kill Batman, but Catwoman shoots Bane with the cannons on the Batpod. Batman pursues Talia with the Bat, an aircraft developed by Fox, hoping to bring the bomb back to the reactor where it can be stabilized. Talia's truck crashes, but she remotely destroys the reactor before dying. With no way to stop the detonation, Batman uses the Bat to haul the bomb over the bay, where it detonates. In the aftermath, Batman is presumed dead and is honored as a hero. With Bruce also presumed dead, Wayne Manor is left to the city to become an orphanage, and Bruce's remaining estate is left to Alfred. Fox discovers that Bruce had fixed the Bat's autopilot six months prior, Gordon finds the Bat-Signal refurbished, Alfred witnesses Bruce and Selina together while visiting Florence and Robin John Blake resigns from the police force and inherits the Batcave. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Dark Knight Rises」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
