Saw it again. Think it held up very well on a second viewing, actually think I enjoyed it more.
I didn't notice the Sean Connery-style voice the first time around, but it was very obvious this time. Especially in the opening scene, Bane really does sound like him.
The Pit Prison being held in whatever ancient land does feel more obvious this time, but I don't agree with how Nolan did it. Bane sort of hinted that they were going to take Batman somewhere (although I don't know why Bane had to go with them) but it does seem ridiculous that Bruce Wayne got out of the pit in the middle of South America and somehow got into Gotham despite not having a phone or access or Fox or Albert.
One "error" or whatever I noticed this time: when Batman reappears in Gotham, he tells Kyle that they don't have much time, the bomb is going off in 20 hours or whatever. At that point, there's no way of Batman knowing that. When he first sees Fox, he asks him how much time they have left.
I think the Bane/Talia angle holds up really well on a second viewing. She does a good job acting, because once you know who she is, her role does come off slightly differently. She wasn't scared whenever Bane and his troops came in, she told Fox that there's no point in resisting and gave her fingerprints, etc. I don't know why they didn't explain how she got her scar -- I would have thought they would, since they were so blatant about everything else (autopilot, etc.)
I did find it funny that in a movie with a zillion things to nitpick, they mentioned during the will reading that they were missing a necklace. Because yes, if they didn't do that, there would be a plothole!

His name was Robin Blake. Not **** Grayson. In the comics the super hero name is Robin. Here its a first name. Here the batcave and suit are discovered. He isnt a sidekick. The bat signal is repaired to be used. Who will respond? Robin Blake will, as Batman. Batman is a symbol, not a man. Thats why the flaming bat signal and batman coming back rallied gotham.
Yea they didn't really explain it well but the movie was already 3 hrs long. There really should have been 2 movies for Bane.
.
oh come on 
It was a movie. It ended this story. It was good, not great. TDK was amazing to me because of the Joker. He drove the story. He was leading people around and getting them to jump through his hoops. Everything was orchestrated by him for the sole purpose of causing mayhem. Rises leaves too much unexplained and takes leaps of faith even TDK didn't require in order to accept what was on screen.
