Dark Knight Rises: Will You See the Batman Finale? (POLL)

The latest Batman series comes to an end today as Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises realeases across the U.S. Friday.

This finale of the rebooted Batman trilogy (Batman Begins, The Dark Knight) sees Batman (Christian Bale) again fighting to save Gotham City eight years after he captured The Joker and killed Harvey "Two Face" Dent.

This time he must face one of the most brutal enemies yet, Bane (Tom Hardy), whose savage tactics will turn the city into ashes. 

Critics are raving about the finale, some saying it is the best one yet.

Ann Hornaday of the Washington Post said: "Most important, does “The Dark Knight Rises” achieve the impossible, which is to bring a cherished cinematic chapter to a close, yet manage to leave fans feeling not desolate but cheered? To that all-important question, the answer is an unequivocal yes."

The Dark Knight Rises is rated PG-13 intense sequences of violence and action, some sensuality and language. Its running time is 2 hours and 45 minutes.

This Patch editor has been a life-long Batman fan and has eagerly awaited this movie's arrival. Yes, I was there at midnight.
