6 Reasons Why The Dark Knight Rises Complaints Should Be Put To Rest

Michael Caine In the world where praise and hate are consistently butting heads, one always seem to have more prevalence over the other. In one instance, a big box office mammoth like The Avengers receives well-deserved praise for its various working elements and balances. Another instance is The Dark Knight Rises, another box office mammoth, which receives a generous amount of praise - and also congruous amounts of hate. What makes it even more noticeable is when writers start a hate war over something that shouldn't even be the focus of so much unnecessary criticism. The Dark Knight Rises happens to be one of those actual tragedies. Whenever the chance is available, writers look at all the little problems that reveal themselves in the film and find the chance to bash the hell out of it up until things no longer make sense. The same problems are discussed over and over again, from Bruce Wayne finding his way back into Gotham City, to the nuclear blast that would have killed Batman and possibly destroyed part of the city in the process. It's all about the flaws, errors, and making sure the writers knew when they screwed up, mainly because people are looking for a reason to cause controversy and spark attention. As seen ever since its July 2012 release, fans have found every opportunity imaginable to make sure the film lives in the image of mediocrity instead of simply leaving it alone and moving on. Still, there are a ton of others who just want to see an end to all the hate, myself included. So I've taken it upon myself to gather 6 definitive reasons that should (hopefully) put most of the bashers and backlash to rest. Because all they really complain about is how pitiful the paint job is on the outside, instead of opening the hood to check out the engine. Please note: there are MAJOR spoilers ahead that give away important plot points for The Dark Knight Rises (along with analysis on certain points for the whole trilogy, too).
