The Dark Knight Rises, Christopher Nolan's much-anticipated conclusion to his Batman trilogy, opened last Friday under the pall of a senseless tragedy that occurred at a screening in Colorado.  Nationwide, people mourn for those lost, and pray for those injured.  But the majority refuse to let the acts of one man taint a movie they've waited four years to see, and audiences rushed to theaters and IMAX to see if Nolan's latest effort could measure up to 2008's record-breaking, Academy Award winning The Dark Knight.  Listen to Arnie, Stuart, and Jakob's final review in their Batman retrospective series to find out if it did!
