Christopher Nolan’s 2012 epic is a massive film—literally and metaphorically. It runs 164 minutes. It requires your full attention. So, why are millions of people turning to a social media site from Russia (ok.ru, formerly Odnoklassniki) to watch Batman’s final stand?
On ok.ru, Bane’s voice sounds tinny. The black levels in the sewer scenes turn into digital mush. The epic score by Hans Zimmer (specifically the "Deshi Basara" chant) loses its chest-rattling bass.
Have you watched a Nolan film on a sketchy streaming site? Do you think The Dark Knight Rises is underrated or overstuffed? Drop a comment below.

So go ahead. Watch the plane hijack. Watch Bane break the Bat. Just keep your ad-blocker on, and remember: The hero Gotham deserves isn’t watching on ok.ru. He’s buying the 4K steelbook. 7.5/10 Rating (for the ok.ru experience): 4/10 (Convenience only)
