How do you compete with the heath Ledger's Joker when you have a mask on your face?
You don't. Bane is a good villain, with a memorable voice and even more memorable lines but his personality and motivation are murky and not as fascinating or understandable as the Jokers'.
With that exception, the overall casting for the movie is the best of the 3 movies. Christopher Nolan must have so much Hollywood Cred by now that he just gets every single on of his first picks, no matter how small a role they have and it is delightful to see.
The cinematography is the best ever. With 72 minutes of iMax footage, you simply need to see this in an iMax theater that supports 70mm film. These are usually round structures with screens 5-stories high unlike most "fake" iMax theaters located inside multiplexes so do your research beforehand!
The pacing and the action scenes are fantastic of course. It is unfortunate that so many key moments were exposed in trailers but such is life. There is plenty left to satisfy.
The question that everybody wants answered is: Is it better than "The Dark Knight Returns" ? My answer is it's on par with it.
