9. Bruce Wayne/Batman
Much like Biblo, Batman was a character that the audience had been waiting with bated breath to see again. Set eight years after the climax of The Dark Knight in which we see Harvey Dent's true colours as Harvey Two-Face, the movie begins with the celebration of "Dent Day." This Gotham-invented holiday proves instantly that the people of Gotham still blame the masked "villain" for Dent's death and the truth of his acts of vengeance are still being withheld. With Wayne acting as a recluse in the now reconstructed Wayne Manor, it seems that his days of vigilante justice and crime fighting are over. However, it takes the sticky fingers and clever manipulation of fellow costumed criminal, Selina Kyle, to lure him back into his old life. Batman versus Bruce Wayne is a theme that has made the Nolan Brothers' version of the story much more accessible and - more often than not - meant the film has been possibly the darkest and grittiest portrayal yet. This is a character trait that has only grown in this film and, personally, I feel it is the best one so far in terms of the development of Wayne's struggle with leading a normal life and somehow seeking acceptance and justice in relation to his parents' death. By far the most harrowing in terms of his struggle this makes more nothing less than a masterful conclusion to a superb trilogy with both Wayne and Batman fighting for the soul and the hope of the city he feels so responsible for.
