This week in our Scene of the Week feature, we again turn our attention to another impeccable Christopher Nolan-helmed moment, and it comes from The Dark Knight Rises. TDKR is a funny one, in terms of wider opinion. The vast majority of people think highly of it, but there is a fair share of not-so-sure, even dislike, out there. We at Life of Films are unashamedly large fans of Nolan’s body of work and directorial style, so naturally we’re in the former camp. The scene I have

Here we have it, our new section to Life of Films, an area where we break down and review scenes from movies. These scenes can either be one of our all time favourites, generally iconic, or scenes that were just so bad we have no idea how they ever made the final cut. To start off this new section to the site, I thought I would talk about my favourite scene of all time. This is the final scene in The Dark Knight where we see Batman talking to Commissioner Gordon on how they w
