Analysis: Opening of The Dark Knight Rises.

The Dark Knight Rises opening analysis:

At the start of the Dark Knight Rises the Warner Bros, DC Comics, Legendary Pictures and Syncopy Films logo's appear the style of the logo's match the theme of the movie as the texture is metallic and stone-like. The colours they use are black and dark blue as they are atmospheric and eerie and are also keeping with the theme and mood of the film, the non-diegetic music they use is dark and sets the tone of the mood. There is a shot of ice cracking and becoming the shape of a bat and this shows that batman is coming back to life. There is also a sound bridge of commissioner Gordon and this is the fist time we hear him speak in the movie, and this is also a scene from the Dark Knight so its showing a flashback so this is linking the two movies together. The director Christopher Nolan has shown arrogance when making the film as he has not shown the title of the film which is the Dark Knight Rises which could show that it is a big enough film so everyone should know what the title is and who is staring in it as is the 3rd in the Batman trilogy. During the plane scene as the CIA agent is taking off Banes hood, he is at a lower angle than Bane, showing that Bane has more dominance over him in this situation. The non-diegetic music that plays all through out the scene on the plane comes to a stop just before Bane presses the button the release the CIA plane.
