What's your favorite "Rises" cinematography so far? My two favorite shots are:

-Gordon lighting the flare and Batman appearing out of the darkness. I wonder how many takes that took to get the lighting just right

-Batman on the catwalk, looking behind him as the focus shifts to Bane. Beautifully done. Also much credit to Bale; the shot is unsettling (to me at least) in that Batman seems reluctant, almost afraid too look behind him. You can practically hear him thinking in his head "Do I really want to know what's at the other end of that catwalk?"

Batman overlooking the city is a fucking amazing shot, but there are at least 3 other shots that have really caught my attention. Just can't think of em off the top of my head at the moment.

The shot in the 3rd trailer of Catwoman on the Batpod at night. The green and blue lights add so much to that shot.

Pretty much any given shot of the Batpod.

I like the shot of Bane walking down the hallway/tunnel under the stadium with his emperor coat on.
