Video: The Dark Knight: interview with Michael Caine Christopher Nolan's third Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises, was released earlier this year to critical and commercial acclaim. The Telegraph's film reviewer Robbie Collin gave the film five stars and called it a 'sinewy crime epic': The Dark Knight Rises, the third and emphatically final film in his Batman trilogy, goes even further: for the most part, this is a superhero film without a superhero. Batman here is less a character than a symbol, then a cipher, and later an icon, and swathes of the film pass without its notional hero appearing on screen in full, Caped Crusading regalia. With a running time of two and three quarter hours, it's fair to say The Dark Knight Rises is a film that can be divided into swathes.  The Dark Knight Rises is out now on DVD.
