I've finally gotten to The Dark Knight Rises. I'm a little over an hour in and have succeeded at extracting a clip in which Patrick Leahy has his cameo speaking part.
(My first time clipping a video and first time uploading an Mp4. Let's see if it works.)

Finished The Dark Knight Rises over a week ago. A worthy finale to the trilogy, 9/10. The only thing about it that I didn't fully like was the ending, which was confusing.
It has Bruce Wayne seemingly retire permanently, and suggests that Robin John Blake will become the new Batman. This is pretty much impossible for a Batman of the present day, but I guess it should just be regarded as belonging to a version of the Nolanverse.
Next up, Beware the Batman. It is distinctive for being computer-animated, as well as for being pulled from Cartoon Network mid-season. (It was later aired during Adult Swim.) I doubt that I will love 2013 CGI, as I don't even love 2022 CGI! Other distinctive aspects of the show is its focus is on less popular villains, and Katana as Batman's partner/sidekick.
Anyway, I will update my AV presently.

Quick comment. Alfred is younger, tougher, and bald. He trains Batman.

Thus far, Gordan is ambivalent toward Batman and they are not allies.

Switching AV to this Alfred because he's cool.

There is a little known Marvel comic series from the 80s called Strikeforce Morituri which I think would be a great movie trilogy...I haven't read all the comic issues yet, but so far it's entertaining, seems to be a good sci-fi futuristic story...
From Wikipedia:
Strikeforce: Morituri was a science fiction comic book series published by Marvel Comics from 1986 to 1989. The series was created by writer Peter B. Gillis and artist Brent Anderson.
The premise is that aliens have invaded Earth and nearly succeeded in conquering it and stripping it of its resources. A scientist discovers a process which can provide humans with superhuman powers, effectively creating a group of defending superheroes. However, the process would also ensure that the empowered humans would die within a year of being empowered. The series thus focused on the heroism of the main characters in fighting the invaders, while living with the knowledge that their fates were sealed regardless of whether or not they prevailed.

I finished the series. It's very good, with interesting stories. IMO, almost everyone hating on it is just because they can't get past the computer animation. The way I look at it, it's something unique and should be appreciated for it's distinctiveness. There's Lego Batman out there, isn't there?
There are a lot of unrealistic scenarios and action sequences, unlike Batman the Animated Series, but lots of comics are unrealistic. 8.5/10
At the end it is implied that Batman, Katana, Alfred, Man-Bat, Metamorpho, and Oracle (aka Barbara Gordon) would be forming The Outsiders, but that never happened.

'My turn to wear the cape has passed': Henry Cavill, 39, reveals he's been FIRED from Superman role just two months after announcing big return... after new DC Films bosses 'also axed Wonder Woman'
The massive shake-up at Warner Bros.' DC Films has continued, with Henry Cavill revealing that he will not be returning as Superman. Cavill, 39, most recently has a cameo appearance as Superman at the end of Warner Bros. Black Adam, teasing a showdown between Superman and Dwayne Johnson's Black Adam... though that was just days before James Gunn and Peter Safran were brought on as the new heads of DC Films. The actor took to Instagram on Wednesday to reveal the news to his 22.9 million followers that he will not be back as the Man of Steel on the big screen. 'I have just had a meeting with James Gunn and Peter Safran and it's sad news, everyone. I will, after all, not be returning as Superman,' Cavill began. 'After being told by the studio to announce my return back in October, prior to their hire, this news isn't the easiest, but that's life,' he added.

Convinced myself to give Lego Batman a chance. Already watched Lego Batman: The Movie - DC Super Heroes Unite. Now watching, The Lego Movie. (Batman's a secondary character within it.) Too soon to appraise the second, but the first was fun.
Avatar accordingly switched.
