4. Bruce Wayne Rises From The Pit
Though not surprising in the slightest bit, Bruce Wayne manages to escape the prison of despair and with that, the almighty Dark Knight rises. Much of the pit served to humanize Bruce and hand him the weakness of humanity. Much like a standard superhero film, Bruce is plagued by inner demons that arose from his endeavors in previous films. Unlike a standard superhero film, the rise to freedom was depicted as a journey instead of a mere circle. He was not battling inner demons that hindered his performance, he was battling a physical and tangible block in duty. When Bruce finally decided to attempt the climb without a rope, the scene was nothing but pure freedom. The chanting that resonated with each step, the brightness of the hope above, and the innocence of Bruce's flashback showing his father climbing down to rescue him - which was gorgeously nostalgic to watch - was pulled of effortlessly. Batman was back.
