The Dark Knight Rises

There has been much hype surrounding the new Batman movie, and the recent terrible shootings accompanying the screening of the film in the US make a chilling backdrop to its launch over here, in the UK.
Long gone are the days of Caped Crusaders donning tights to recue fair damsels in distress. The Batman of 2012 is a much different character, still with those traits that mark him out as a hero, but infinitely removed from the Batman of yesteryear. Perhaps he is a better depiction of the internal struggle between good and evil that exists in all of us…

Perhaps he merely serves to shed light on those parts of the human psyche best left in darkness.
Perhaps!

I have the good fortune to be in contact with a number of young people from different nations and I asked them what they thought of the film: 


Following a bit of an Olympic Medals table theme.

More reviews to come soon!
