The Dark Knight Rises was finally released, and James was so excited to do this podcast that he actually had a dream about podcasting. Alex explains why he felt the movie was lacking the smaller, more personal moments of the previous two films, James explains why he didn’t care for Bane, and we talk about Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s magic orphan powers. We also discuss Hans Zimmer’s career and how the score of this film is emblematic of the trilogy, and we wonder if filmmakers have finally figured out how to make a third installment in a movie series. Then Travis stops by to share his thoughts and explain what comics influenced the film’s story.<\/p>\n
