The Dark Knight was followed by The Dark Knight Rises (2012), the conclusion of The Dark Knight Trilogy. In the film, Batman is forced out of his self-imposed retirement following the events of The Dark Knight; he allies with Selina Kyle / Catwoman to take on Bane, a physically imposing revolutionary allied with the League of Shadows that is featured in Batman Begins.[419][420][421] The Dark Knight Rises was a financial success, surpassing the box-office take of The Dark Knight,[422] and was generally well received by critics but proved more divisive with audiences.[bq]
