Christopher Nolan resolves his Batman trilogy as the Dark Knight rises from his own darkness and the people finally take a stand against the fear-based tyranny enveloping Gotham.

As self-appointed vigilantes battle for control over a city run by corrupt politicians amid rampant anarchy, we see the empowered will of the people finally wresting control and claiming dominion over their own destiny.
