I love the overt symbolism: As a child his father had to carry him out of the well, but now, as a man, he must carry himself out, Bats and all.

To everyone watching this scene back to back with tears on their eyes, I hope y'all rise from your darkness.

The Pit is actually a reimagining of the Lazarus Pit, where people who bathe in its regenerative waters regain their strength and youth. Here, Bruce reclaims what made him Batman in the first place and embraces fear. He emerges from the Pit stronger and determined to save his city.

Whenever I feel down I do watch this scene. One of the best inspiring movie sequence in my opinion..

Its such a beautiful scene. Bane says the pit teaches despair, people look to the sky and feel hope, a quality we all need in life. But the reality is that sometimes hope is actually not enough. Sometimes we forget that to hold on to true hope, we must face our greatest fear in its most raw form, more raw than we’ve ever known. We have to live whilst accepting the reality that we will likely fail miserably and end up broken. And it is this journey that will bring out our greatest potential.

Goosebumps. One of the best scenes in this trilogy.

I simply love how ALL men inside the pit are supporting Bruce throughout his whole attempt to escape. We should not underestimate how powerful is to have people cheering and telling us "you can do it!"

Speech of the Old Man, Hans Zimmer Score and Chants, then the Moment when the Bats appear. What an ABSOLUTE PERFECT Scene. Pure Goosebumps.

Me finally leaving my parents house after quarantine ends

"You do not fear death, and you think this makes you strong. It makes you weak" I love this part of the movie.

One of the most powerful scenes I have seen. Thank you Christopher Nolan

At first I thought batman is just a billionaire with some tech and some fighting skills. And I always preferred iron man over batman. But the way Christopher Nolan wrote the Trilogy I must say batman's story is the most inspiring and its a true masterpiece.

The Genius thing about this scene is the rope is not just representing the confort zone that hold you back, it's elso physically as the rope prevent you from jumping too far without pushing you back. You can see this in the previous attempts

Ben Affleck: Tell me, do you bleed? Christian Bale: No. I rise from the ashes.

The cheer of the prisoners at 2:20 is awesome

This isn’t just a scene for me.. its basically my life.. it’s always this part I come back to when I need to be picked up again. I’m 26 years old and this scene always brings tears to my eyes. Not only because Christian bale is one of my favourite actors and my favourite Batman and I’m a MASSIVE Batman fan(I have Batman memorabilia & other collectibles in my room) but mainly for his iron will and his dedication and never giving up. Seeing him stand up out of that pit rising like the warrior he is with Mr. Hans Zimmers music and the prisoners cheering is bloody amazing it gives me chills and its exactly how I felt. Being sick & dying in bed everyday first from destroying my body, and then being sick from healing it, as Batmans was until he was finally ready to make the climb and rise. I like to think that I myself conquered what I did and I also did rise again. I’m no warrior but I battled drug addiction in my life and pretty much lost everything. After highschool, I went from an athlete, a competing promising kickboxer, a basketball player, to a junkie loser. No money no future no desire literally nothing. Couldn’t even save a dime. I was a walking corpse. Nobody wanted anything to do with me. I didn’t either. You can imagine I was called every name in the book and suicidal thoughts were nothing new to me anymore. Talking harshly to myself was nothing new to me anymore. I had a privileged life I had everything I ever wanted and I guess somewhere down the line I took advantage of it and I went from a good kid an athlete, to nothing. Just another junkie loser. Here I was hurting my loved ones but mainly myself the worst way possible. After battling pure hell somehow with the Grace of God one day at a time I’m now almost 3 years clean and sober and I have everything back in my life and more. My family. An amazing fiancé who knows everything about me and wants to be there for me through it all. And I can actually save money now which is a blessing to me like no other. I went to acting school for couple years and got an agent and became an actor so we’ll see what happens with that. I’m now also attending school to become an addiction counsellor. Hopefully I can help the ones like me. And I started a small carpentry business at home making tables/desks since covid started which has been very beneficial for me. But mainly I hope acting and my career as a Therapist works out. Even if not, I can atleast do the things that I want to do now in life and try. And not be trapped in my prison of addiction anymore.. Despite all that I still consider myself a junkie loser who hasn’t really done anything in his life. And I don’t feel like I’ll ever make my parents proud. Facing death and fighting for my life and winning it back from addiction I guess isn’t something this older generation of my Indo Canadian ppl think it’s anything to be proud of.. more like something to be ashamed of. I know I have to talk to myself kinder and that’s something I’m working on. But it’s hard when even now sometimes people who I don’t get along with that well try to judge you for your past mistakes. Calling me a junkie every time there’s a heated argument. Using my past as a weapon. So I just stay away now as I can’t handle that kinda toxicity in my life. It hurts more and does more damage than most will know but it is what it is. Most importantly I just hope to make my family proud, mainly my fiancé and my parents who will hopefully be proud to call me her husband and their son one day. Thats all I really want. That’s all I hope for. Thank you for your time to read this. All the real ones struggling and fighting out there please keep going. One day at a time. You are a warrior like Batman! When he finally rises out of that pit it is exactly how I felt when I finally beat my addiction and saw the world with my clear eyes again. I was rising again. To a better, wiser and stronger me. You Will Also Rise! God Bless You🙏🏼💪🏼🖤

Hans Zimmer's music score and chant is mind blowing.

“Nothing is stronger than a person’s will to live”

The old man jumped with the rope and broke his back and now lives with regret that's why he asked bruce to face his fears. Genius script.

TRUTH REVELATION: Batman didn't really need the suit.....it was just a fashion statement

One of the greatest scenes in a comic book movie. No CGI just great music.

Bale is the Batman never fails in motivating me especially this scene what an inspiring piece of art

My confidence rise to 1 million by watching this.

This is one of the greatest movie scenes in history, Batman entered the pit a broken man, past his prime, lost everything his love his money, everything and once he left the pit of hell he became reborn in a way. whenever life hits you, your girlfriend left you, lost your job, lost your friends or money, no matter how desperate the situation is your heart and courage alone can get you out of anything, and most of all NEVER give up.

"How can you move faster then possible, fight longer then possible. Without the most powerful impulse of the spirit.... the fear of death" This might be one of the most powerful lines I have ever heard in a film. Brilliant!

Trilogy starts with bruce falling in cave, which has bats and they frighten him. Trilogy ends when bruce is rising from a cave, which has bats and he frightens them.

This wasn't just a batman movie, this was a life lesson is to never give up

This trilogy is just full of legendary dialogues.

I love him throwing that rope into the pit after he got out essentially saving everyone’s life.

We all grow up in a pit. The pit of our ego, our hate and our arrogance. Some of us manages to escape that pit and then throw the rope in the pit for others to escape as well. Unfortunately most of the people decides to ignore that help.

This scene brings tears in my eyes every time.... Never gets old

Nolan + Zimmer = Legendary Masterpiece

So inspiring That's why we fall So we can rise 💪

No idea why but this scene really inspires me when life is rough, the symbolism that as Bruce did we must sometimes risk it all and pull ourselves out of the well when we are at our most hurt and vulnerable, maybe that’s not how it was intended but it’s how I see it, such a great scene

1:08 his self-conscious smile always gets me, he simply KNEW he would make it Btw. this scene is so powerful and timeless! Everyday we fight our own battles and sometimes we give up for a little thing, but we are able of such great things! I just love the legacy of this scene

In this scene we learn that Bruce Wayne is not the Batman... The Batman is Bruce Wayne

You know, I never realized the symbolism of the pit when I saw this the first time. I never realized that this pit was the Lazarus Pit, and when Bruce entered it, he was broken, physically, mentally, and emotionally. He allowed peace to make him weak and that is what allowed Bane to plow him into the ground. He didn’t have the fighting spirit and the will that allowed him to face down criminals with automatic weapons. He allowed the pain that came with the loss of Rachel dying and the humiliation of letting Harvey Dent become a monster turn him into a recluse. By entering the pit, Bruce was able to reclaim the physical strength he once had. He was able to reclaim the mental focus that made it possible to give him purpose in his crusade to save Gotham. And he allowed the fear that once forced him to become Batman in the first place, to enter his heart again, and in that moment, he climbed out of the pit stronger than ever. His vitality returned, his warrior spirit rejuvenated, and his mental focus as sharp as a knife. I never thought that the Lazarus Pit could be used in such a brilliant fashion, but with Nolan, everything is possible.

"What does that mean?" "Rise" Goosebumps Supreme

1:50 He got the blessing from the bats as well P.S thanks for liking my comment

I saw this movie in the theater when it came out. Audience went wild during this scene. Standing ovation. 👏

It's 2:55 AM I haven't slept yet and heavy rain and I'm watching this with full volume in my earphones

This soundtrack makes me still feel worthy 10 years later!

1:42 Going up to her 2:06 Asking her out 2:10 Your friend cheering you on 2:19 She says yes

Background score + Direction + Acting = Mindblowing scene. It's been 9 years since "The Dark Knight Rises" released and till now this scene still gives me chills!

This is my favorite movie scene of all time. The prison sometimes is our own mind. The fear of not knowing if you're going to make it keeps you locked in that prison until you take a leap of faith. The inmates chanting rise is our self conscious digging deep and getting riled up to make the leap. When we preserver we feel ultimate victory and become stronger then we were before. Sometimes we need to be completely broken in order to be rebuilt even better. This scene is powerful metaphor for life and will stick with me forever.

If this scene didn’t get you out of depression, nothing else will.

Bro does anyone else get an adrenaline rush from this scene 😂

Fun fact: This scene was shot in Meherangahr fort , Jodhpur, Rajasthan , India.

When the bats appeared i know hes gonna make it. Goosebumps!!!🔥🔥🔥

I Look At This Scene As A Motivational Moment! The Chills, The Music !! This Scene Is Just Spectacular! Imma Miss Bale And Nolan, So Now I’m Ready For What Pattinson Got Up His Damn Sleeve🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

During these times, this is what we should all do! Face our pains, overcome our fears, and rise from the pit that we fell into, stronger than before!

“ Its not about the Fail it’s about how you respond from your failure” 🙏

The most epic scene of all time , no one else Could've done it better , not even marvel

This scene alone put this movie over the top as not just the best film of the trilogy, but the best Batman movie ever!

1:05 I like that Christopher chose an actor who sounded very much like Michael Caine to be his companion in the Lazarus Pit. Because even though they were worlds apart, Bruce still had an Alfred there with him in some form.

I've been to this historical place.. This was shooted at Mehrangarh fort in Jodhpur, Rajasthan (India)

0:37 it's so unusual to see Bruce plain out broken and hopeless in the most human way possible. He's the Batman and yet he faces true dispair and hopelesness.

i bet Thomas and Martha Wayne are so proud of him

words cant explain how powerful this scene is

It's not the jump that gives you goosebumps, it's the cheering afterwards.

One of the most powerful scene , this scene defines you life.

FEAR = Face Everything And Rise

Saw this with my Mom alongside me on opening night. She passed in '18, but I'm so glad I got to share the moment with her when those bats emerged to guide Bruce. They were waiting for him.

Ironic how he gets fear about death back in life and it actually is how he gets over the biggest obstacle of his life that might risk him death. Best scene of all batman cinematic series.

I've used the music from this scene for my wake up alarm for about 5 years now. I love that it starts out calm and builds slowly.

This scene sends chills down my spine every time. Absolutely incredible.

1:51 is the moment when you have all victoryies and you retired when you are done and then you must have a comeback and you get very badly beaten up but you think it is all over but time geting back and you are making a real big great comeback and rise once again.

Begins as fear Falls with chaos Ends with rises

Hans Zimmer is the best. The song give half of the emotion.

1:55 a perfect juxtaposition to when he embraced the bats in the batcave in batman begins, this is the moment he truly becomes batman again spiritually

For me this scenes represents my depression a dark abyss of internal pain. Like Bruce Wayne I suffer from the lost of my three family members. I dream of them wishing it was me who died. Ever since my sister pasted away my pain pushed me to become smarter better and I do have my moments in sorrow and pain! I learned so much from a man who doesn’t exist in real life but in my soul he is very real. Funny thing is that my friends called me Batman or Bruce Wayne haha. But In the end it was hell of life !!

Trust me ,the trilogy is better than any therapy

“I have one power. I never give up.” -Batman

This entire sequence was so perfectly written that it could be its own short film. I remember crying when I saw this in theaters, because Nolan so perfectly took the audience (me) and put us in Bruces shoes. At a time in my life I had so many fears and doubts and limitations-all self imposed. It perfectly portrayed a conversation that my mind and heart had daily. Bruce/Batman aside, the Pitt to me represented Heaven+Hell, the climb to me represented my physical body going through the journey of breaking the limitations of my mind and the Rope represents Lack of Faith in God and instead living life in comfort failing to have faith in God and forever being bound by putting faith in the wrong things- The bottom of the Pitt represents Hell, eternal darkness bound by the limitation of your own mind, chained and in a jail cell that you have the power to escape as long as you're able and willing to master your mind and break the bounds that are holding you in your own hell. The top of the Pitt represents Heaven/ Freedom on he journey to breaking your own limitations you'll have to put in work, you'll need to climb to heights that make you uncomfortable having faith in your plan, idea, your calling and that everything you believe in is now in Gods hands because you're climbing with out a rope - without a safety net- you either live or you die trying. Once Bruce is at the peak and at his final objection as high as he can get with out his rope, (your own final objection) the enemy ( I call him Satan) will cast his final objection into scaring you and making you doubt everything you've done to get where you are so that you can fall. Once Bruce faces his fears and has faith and is wiling to die- that is when the miracle happens and the realization, that you never needed the rope in the first place- that freedom took a leap of faith into the discomfort and unknown so that you can grow- Once at the top you're free, once you've overcome those limitations the Panning of Bruce walking into the world represents a world that you can't even IMAGINE because you haven't taken the first step into breaking your limits. When Bruce is having that conversation in his it symbolized his Mind and Heart having an exchange, Bruce being the conscious mind had been lying to himself, he had been avoiding his fears, doubts and limitations- never truly facing them, nor feeling working to overcoming them. His heart knew exactly what he needed to do to escape and reminded him on what exactly he needed to do to escape and once he accepted that, his spirit was rejuvenated- The spirit was represented by the men hyping him up to "RISE". As well as those men also represented different past versions of himself that no longer served him which were also caged and trapped but also craved freedom because they were him. You can actually see that of all the men cheering there was one man that didn't- that was the latest version of Bruce- himself, the one full of doubt, the one full of anger, self pity, and lack of confidence, and living in the past. Bruce managed to put them behind and grow into the person he needed to be to face his challenge and find freedom. It was an amazing sequence that spoke to me in that way and this is why it's my all time favorite. It allowed the audience go through that journey and see Bruce RISE as well as yourself. A physiological breakdown perfectly put together in this sequence. Nothing will top this for me.

People who compares Batman vs. Ironman should know about, without the suit Ironman is nothing and without the suit Batman is everything.

God I love this scene. One of my favourite movie sequences of all time. And I especially love how he drops them the rope at the end, quickly and simply.

Don't jump, Rise

1:20-1:45 background music always gives me chills. By far one of the best background music ever produced for a film.

Bruce Wayne never give up 1:11-2:23

I literally get goosebumps when he comes out of the pit and that fervent bgm plays . One of the greatest scenes in the history of cinema.

I don’t know why but whenever I watch this scene I cry

1:20 my family reaction when introvert me leaves the house.

I just recovered from a tough back injury and this scene is my mantra for my training now. Out of the darkness..

Most powerful scene in history of cinema

Best motivation before the gym. This is my pre-workout

This scene tells us one very important thing. Let nothing hold you back. Fear can be a powerful thing for good, but it can also hold you back. Let fear inspire you to great things, not limit you to what you can achieve. All you need is the will and determination to see it through. Even if you think it’s impossible. Rise.

Man, this movie is still a masterpiece after all these years. This scene alone surpasses MCU, what can I talk about the whole movie?!

Such a great scene. The music was lit

Watching this powerful scene before my submissions.

I don't get why this movie is hated by so many people, The Dark Knight is superior, there's no doubt in that, but this is very close to being as good as that. The perfect conclusion to the most epic superhero trilogy ever.

Just watched the new batman movie and still the dark knight trilogy is unbeatable

I cry all the time i watch this scene .May men truly escape from darkness in this life !!!

Bruce being reborn into a mentally stronger Batman in this scene was so powerful

He threw the rope down because he believes in change and transformation, whereas Ra's Al Ghul is an embittered idealist Bruce is an optimistic idealist.

May we all rise out of our challenges and obstacles.

2:35-2:38 that look!!!The guy who helped him just realize who he really was.

He is the Dark Knight and this is him rising. THIS IS THE TITULAR SCENE Y’ALL 🤯🤯

This trilogy and it’s symbolisms… man they can almost make u tear up. Wether u are going through depression or hard times in life, you are symbolically climbing rising and climbing out of your own pit. This was just like when Bruce fell into that well as boy and his father came and saved him. But his father was the safety rope. Now he didn’t have his father, he needed to climb it himself… without the rope. Just like Bruce used fear to strike it into the hearts of criminals he needed to use the fear he had of dying in that pit to motivate him to escape it. The fear of death is the biggest motivator in life, it’s what allowed him to rise.

This movie certainly isn't perfect but you cant deny the high points, and this scene is an example. There is an absolute, undeniable emotional power to this moment. The blind man's speech, the cinematography, the music, the chanting.... it all culminates into something absolutely stunning.

One of the best scenes of all time
