Because your invested in those characters. They don't give anything to the story aside from the odd moment here and there. I like seeing them on film, but I feel like they were wasted.

 

If they don't add anything it's because of the shortcomings in the writing. Gordon is pretty integral anyway but Fox was underused.

 

Matthew Modine's character (see, can't even remember the guy's name) was almost pointless until Gordon has to harrass him into making a stand. At first, he's nothing more than an exposition dump.

 

 

And, honestly, Ethan, I couldn't remember. Just that he was eager to show him some new SECRET STUFF. Quit ruining my fun!

Still, it is a bit odd that it's all

On the topic of the writing though. Some notes from a script editor. I'd recommend reading the whole thing but I'll link some 'choice' ones.

Really enjoyed Dark Knight Rises, thought the action was stellar and definitely loved all the performances but there were quite a few niggles which prevented it from reaching the lofty heights of Dark Knight.

As in he dies and then comes back to life? Or dies dies? (I've no interest in Potter, so feel free to spoil).

 

Also, on topic. Loved this film. Thought Bane was pitched well as the mastermind + physical equal of Batman.

 

Catwoman was portrayed well as the neutral / leaning towards good person.

 

There were some really strong emotional moments, some lighter bits, some decent action a satisfying climax and a hopeful aftermath.

 

The bit that was difficult to sit through with regard to the national anthem was that you had to sit through the whole thing. Would have preferred to get on with it: "Oh say can you *BOOM!*" would have been more than enough.

 

Oh also...
