I particularly liked the introduction of Robin.

However, I think the way that Batman finally beat Bane was a bit weak, it would have been better if he outsmarted him. The twist with Talia was good. The ending was pretty original.

I just can't help but feel disappointed with it. IMO, this is the worst of the three, easily, the Dark Knight being the best. It felt to me that the moment any particular stage was set, they were tearing it down and replacing it.

Something that just occurred to me - Talia slept with the man who killed her father? She's fine with committing suicide for an ideal and take revenge on her father's killer, and she sleeps with him?? He had already given her what she needed (access to the reactor), it's not as if she had to gain his trust/friendship any further. Even if this wasn't the case, I think it stretches the bounds of plausibility.

Oh, technically he would have been outsmarting Talia not bane, she was the mastermind, and as for her sleeping with him. Makes the revenge all that more sweeter... And Timelord if your reading shame on you watch the movie o;
