I sometimes still can’t believe we’ve seen Chris Nolan’s epic grand finale of his Batman trilogy. The Dark Knight Rises, released a week ago, has arrived and hopefully everyone has had the pleasure of seeing it (in IMAX). Discussion about it has been rampant for weeks, ever since Warner Bros first started screening it for press, and it will last well into the next few years. To keep things focused on the positive, and follow up with another question in our new series Reply, I decided to start a discussion on specific moments in TDKR. My twitter question was: What was your favorite shot or favorite moment from TDKR and why? Replies below!

Considering the excitement and level of discussion surrounding The Dark Knight Rises, I expected a huge response to this question. We gathered up a total of 50 replies from fans around the world. The first half will not contain spoilers, but you’ve been warned that there will be MAJOR SPOILERS from this point on. We hope you’ve watched the movie by now, as this is a discussion on everyone’s favorite moments or scenes.

With so many replies with all kinds of different answers, we organized the answers into the best groupings that we could. There are more expected, one-off kind of responses and scenes, as well as some specific moments that a large number of people seemed to enjoy. Here’s the breakdown of replies, organized in chronological order (ending scenes are last). Up first, there seemed to be a healthy dose of shots from early in TDKR that many enjoyed. Let’s begin the discussion – what was your favorite shot or favorite moment?

@firstshowing Bane delivering his speech on Wall Street. Exhilarating and frightening at the same time. Still got goosebumps. #tdkr #FSreply

@firstshowing Fave shot is just after he picks up the stock exchange device. Helicopter blue light shining on him and wind blowing the cape.

@firstshowing Batman after Selina disappears: “So that’s what that feels like.” A great laugh-out loud moment #ReplyFS #TDKR

This first fight happened so early in the movie, it took a lot of people by surprise. In addition, it was a raw, brutal, vicious battle, with no music, just two extremely powerful guys going at it in the sewers. The replies:

First Bane vs Batman Fight:

@firstshowing The first Bane-Batman fight. No music, just fighting, the water and the pure desperation of the moment. #replyFS #tdkr

@firstshowing My fav was during the 1st Bane/Bat fight where Bats just lets out this visceral growl at Bane. Reminded me of a lil kid*

@firstshowing Easily the first big Bane vs. Batman fight. Don’t want to spoil anything here, but it was the perfect homage to the comics…

@firstshowing when Bane grabbed Batman by his neck out of the darkness.#TDKR

— bane126 (@bane126) July 25, 2012

@firstshowing when batman gets his back broken because it happened so fast! #TDKR

— Steven King (@MayorAdammWest) July 25, 2012

@firstshowing When Bane breaks Batman’s back, just for the fact that ir’s straight out of the comics.

— Stephen King (@stephenVking) July 25, 2012

@firstshowing hard to pick one but for now I’d go with Bane breaking Batman’s back. It showed Bats way out his league Bane’s resilience.

— Duke Silver (@mr_popcorn) July 25, 2012

@firstshowing The scene between Bane and Bruce in the prison “Bane: Torture? Yes. But not of your body….of your soul” FUCKING CHILLING!!!

— sideshowRaheem (@sideshowRaheem) July 25, 2012

1) Bane catching Bat’s fist. RT @firstshowing: What was your favorite shot or favorite moment from TDKR/why? #ReplyFS

— Shea Sizemore (@SheaSizemore) July 25, 2012

One of my own favorite scenes happens after Bruce has been stuck in the prison for a while. To the chants of “Rise”, Bruce Wayne (on his third attempt) finally makes the jump. I wanted to stand and cheer right then.

Bruce’s Prison Pit Escape:

2) Bruce’s prison break. “Rise”. @firstshowing: What was your favorite shot or favorite moment from TDKR/why? #ReplyFS

— Shea Sizemore (@SheaSizemore) July 25, 2012

When Bruce finally able to jump out the pit. I cried “@firstshowing What was your favorite shot or favorite moment from TDKR/why? #ReplyFS“

— Naila Fauzia (@nailafzv) July 25, 2012

@firstshowing Favorite moment: when Bruce is able to climb out of the pit. Favorite shot: Batman on top of bridge surveying the city.

— Matt Wilson (@ElasticJimbo) July 25, 2012

@firstshowing #ReplyFS #TDKR Bruce Climbing out of the pit as the bats fly out of the wall while the chants of Rise echo from the prisoners

— esteban parada (@Chino_Parada) July 25, 2012

@firstshowing My favorite moment is either when Bruce makes the jump in the pit or the chase scene where all the cops are after Batman.

— Dalton Weaver (@dalton_weaver) July 25, 2012

@firstshowing difficult choice but I’d say Bruce manages to escape from THE prison.(chant, music, photo, Bale) Perfect ! Tears in my eyes.

— Franck (@franck_htet) July 25, 2012

@firstshowing The shot when Bruce is at the top of The Pit, having escaped from it. Goosebumps. #TDKR

— Manuel Ochoa (@Iron_Knight) July 25, 2012
