Trivia

Anne Hathaway has said that she desperately coveted the role of Catwoman, and was a complete nervous wreck after her audition. The first time her agent phoned after her screentest, he said he had good news and asked if Hathaway was sitting down. Hathaway immediately screamed "I'm Catwoman!" and ran around the room in a frenzy. Unfortunately, her agent had to calm Hathaway down. He had called to let her know that she'd been invited to host the Academy Awards. Hathaway has said she was so shocked she went numb at the offer. Fortunately, shortly thereafter, her agent phoned again to let her know that she had been offered the part of Catwoman as well. See more »

What a finish...
25 February 2021 | by TdotTenzinSee all my reviews

What an end to the Batman trilogy. It's rare for sequels nowadays to be as good as the original but their are exceptions and the Batman trilogy was was one of em.

A solid story with great pacing and a plot that made sense and was engaging from the beginning till the end. The music composition and visuals were fantastic the best out of the trilogy. Bane's character was just awesome, Tom Hardy really did an amazing job. Lastly a brilliant job on the writing.

Overall an enjoyable movie that had a remarkable yet emotional ending Memorable: Yes. Rewatchable: Yes
