Batman V. Bane

About a year ago we saw the release of the latest Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises. Batman has been my favorite superhero since birth. So, when they started releasing updated movies, you can imagine I was ecstatic. I couldn’t wait to see how they would re-interpret my favorite childhood hero. While I don’t love everything they did with the series, they didn’t do a terrible job of re-inventing it. I think my biggest item of contention is Bane’s voice. In the latest movie, Bane sounds more like an upset monopoly man than an actual villain. Anyway, all of that aside, there are some epic fight scenes in the latest film. While many of these scenes are incredible, there is one that really upsets me. This is the fight between Bane and Batman in the underbelly of Gotham City. Take a look:

Catwoman v. Burglars (It's Happening)

Catwoman is a film that came out in the early 2000’s.  For those of you who have never seen it, you’re probably lucky. The plot of the film is loosely based on the back story behind the saucy Batman character, Catwoman. Unfortunately, the script is weak at best and you have to ignore the fact that it is not true to the comics. Needless to say, the film has received a lot of criticism.  However, that is not what I am here to do. I am focused on how well the fight scenes are performed and overall put together. So, without further ado, I give you the abridged fight scene between Catwoman and the Burglars:
