Batman fans had been waiting for 2012 for a long time… and tomorrow it’ll already be behind us. In July we all finally got to see The Dark Knight Rises, Christopher Nolan’s epic conclusion to his Batman trilogy. The build up and excitement for this movie was unlike any other, and it could be a long time before we all come together to talk about another Batman movie of its scale. For now, let’s take a look at the five most popular The Dark Knight Rises articles published here on Batman News in 2012.
