Cool Stuff: 'The Dark Knight Rises' Memorial Statue Honors The Sacrifice Of Batman

Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy came to an end with The Dark Knight Rises by giving Bruce Wayne the opportunity to leave behind his vigilante life, leaving Gotham City to think that he sacrificed himself by flying a nuclear bomb far off the coast, into the ocean. Believed to be dead, the city creates a Batman memorial statue to honor the fallen Caped Crusader, and now you can add that statue to your collection.
