AFI Awards, USA
YearResultAwardCategory/Recipient(s)
2013 Won AFI Award Movie of the Year
Emma Thomas
Charles Roven
Christopher Nolan
THE DARK KNIGHT RISES leaves the superhero genre forever changed - broken down and reborn with a maturity to match its heroic purpose. With this bruising conclusion to his Batman trilogy, writer/director Christopher Nolan elevates and enshrines one of pop culture's most iconic modern mythologies and, in the process, lifts the blockbuster spectacle to the level of art. Complex and unrelenting, the result is a towering achievement - a testament to the ambition of the film's creative ensemble, which not only delivers an adventure worthy of its hero, but also captures the Zeitgeist of a world that needs Batman now more than ever.
