Toy Story 3 vs. The Dark Knight Rises
Did you know that The Dark Knight Rises and Toy Story 3 are the same story? Let me tell you why.
Years after the events of the second film (The Dark Knight; Toy Story 2), the main character (Sheriff Woody; Bruce Wayne/Batman) has been living off the grid for a while (Andy has grown up and is preparing to go to college, leaving the remaining toys uncertain about their future; Batman took the blame for the crimes of DA Harvey Dent and went into hiding). Upon returning, he faces a villain (Lots-O'-Huggin' Bear; Bane) who puts the oppressed in charge (Lotso takes his pain to Sunnyside Daycare and turns it into a prison for toys; Bane takes over Gotham City and occupies it for six months). In the chaos, the hero is separated from his friends (Woody is picked up by a little girl named Bonnie Anderson while trying to escape; Bane breaks Batman's back and imprisons him in a deep, well-like prison) and ends up in a foreign location (Bonnie's house; The Pit), where he learns how the villain turned evil (Bonnie's toys tell Woody that Lotso was abandoned by his former owner and subsequently replaced; the inmates tell Bruce that the child of his former mentor, Ra's al Ghul, was born in the prison before escaping at a young age). Meanwhile, his friends believe the hero to be dead (Lotso presents Woody's hat to the toys in order to control them; when questioned by GCPD officer John Blake, Selina Kyle tells him he doesn't know if Bruce is dead or alive). The hero escapes and returns to help his friends fight the villain (Woody organizes an escape attempt, but ends up confronting Lotso in a dumpster; Batman frees the cops and leads an all-out assault on Bane's forces). In their most desperate hour, the good guys are betrayed and nearly killed (Lotso leaves the toys to die in the incinerator at a landfill; Miranda Tate reveals herself to be Ra's' daughter and stabs Batman). Luckily, everyone is saved from a fiery death at the last minute (the Aliens use "the Claw" to get the toys to safety; Batman flies Bane's nuclear bomb over the horizon, presumably at the cost of his own life). In the end, the hero says goodbye to his long time friend (Andy donates the toys to Bonnie's house, where they begin a new life; Bruce leaves his estate to Alfred before retiring to Florence with Selina) and the film ends with a new beginning (Ken, Lotso's former henchman, and his girlfriend, Barbie, turn Sunnyside into a paradise; Blake resigns from the police force and takes up the Batman legacy).
It's the same story!
