The Dark Knight Rises Trailer (ptwillis727) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Br7Lh-NwOCM#)
git it while iss haaahhtt.
-
The kid obviously has the trailer on his computer, why the fuck didn't he just upload that?
-
I'm confused by that myself, but I am stoked to see two things....
It's being directed again by Christopher Nolan (Inception, Momento, etc)
And the soundtrack is by Hans Zimmerman (Inception soundtrack)
Those two are a perfect pair
-
The official release of the teaser will be within the next couple of days. It's supposed to show before Harry Potter tomorrow.
-
i dont understand why so many people upload shaky cam footage of their tv. upload the file and get a fucking tripod.
-
Please don't suck.
Please don't suck.
Please don't suck.
-
-Bane rips Anne Hathaway in half, vertically, uses pieces of body to fight Batman.
-Michael Caine executes both Bane and Batman and is revealed as the ultimate killing machine.
-
I can't wait to see this.
I read awhile ago that they wanted to make it 3D but Christopher Nolan said if they make it 3D he will quit the project. 3D is such a fad and only good for certain movies. It will be in Imax though which is awesome.
-
There is nothing worth 2 shits an a fuck in that garbled ass "leak".
Hopefully the movie doesn't blow... but not gonna blow myself waiting for its release as hollyturd likes to fuck up everything they do. Low expectations can cause a better reaction for things like this. (as in you may surprised at how good it may be, although doubtful.)
-
It won't blow, it will be amazing. Nolan has not made a bad film. I have complete faith in him.

robin williams isnt in it. and i think there was footage from insomnia in it.

Just saw it in theaters. Trailer is pretty minimal, but given that the first teaser for The Dark Knight, which was also a year before its release, was just a dialogue track over the symbol, any footage is great to have. Not to say that teaser didn't excite the hell out of me. That last scene of a giant Bane hulking up the stairs to face off with a mid-fight Batman looking like Rocky Balboa against Apollo Creed in Rocky is fucking awesome. And Gordon talking about the Batman coming back certainly seems to confirm that Batman does give up the cowl for a time in this movie, and isn't just running from the law.

Video description says that the dude was challenged to make a trailer for the new batman with Robin Williams in it.

Its Hans Zimmer, man
However I agree with your consensus

Don't forget James Newton Howard. He worked with Zimmerman on the first two films. It's just Zimmerman for TDKR, though.
I agree too though, Nolan & Zimmerman (and sometimes Howard) do go hand in hand.
I'm definitely speculating about the movie for sure. I've watched the teaser at least a hundred times since Wednesday. I guess you could say I am very excited.

amazes me how people liked inception... worst movie from that whole genre. sucker punch shit all over it and that movie and sucker punch was pretty much awful. but at least the sucker punch's director gets that the more interesting thing about this genre is being creative with the worlds and charaters and didn't spend 50% of the screen time explaining the rules of the universe. they just copied the premise of dancers in the dark and then added giant robot samurais and dragons.

"Sucker Punch shit all over it" sheesh I disagree
I'll take Nolan over Zach Snyder any fucking day of the week, I think I remember you saying in the Inception thread that there wasnt enough cool creative dream shit and too much "GI Joe shooter stuff" or something along those lines. Of course films are subjective and who am I to try and convince you to like Inception. I just feel it doesnt have to adhere to some sort of rule for being in a specific "genre". It was an original film written and conceived by Nolan so why should it have to be compared to Fire Breathing Dragons and Zombie Nazi's like some 13yr olds dream movie, because it takes place in the "mind"?
And I agree with Miadaskate, Nolan has not made a bad film, Memento, The Prestige, Inception, all were great
If you hated Inception that much you must have really been looking for a different film.

That's a very cool fan-made poster.
After watching the teaser trailer a billion times and then seeing in with Harry Potter, myself and everyone over at the NolanFans Forums are trying to figure out who the person or persons are to the right of Batman. Here's a brighter shot from one of the leaks :
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v661/Thesofterside/TDKR/8b0994b7.jpg)
It looks like someone is either holding out a gun, Weaver-Stance style, (Maybe JGL as John Blake) or someone is hanging or running toward the fight. The person appears to be wearing green, so the first thought that comes to mind is The Riddler, perhaps on a screen. It's hard to tell, but it seems like there may also be someone between Batman and the figure on the right, but then again, it's hard to tell. The HD Trailer will reveal all I'm sure. Some people have said that during their IMAX viewings of the teaser, Batman is soaked. So where does this fight between Bane and Batman take place? The Batcave, perhaps a sewer?
EDIT : The HD trailer is out now, showing much clearer shots of well...everything. The figure is not green like it was in the leaks, and does not move.
Oh, and if you want some laughs, check out this pathetic fuck :

Pretty sure Nolan is going to wrap it up so that nobody else can touch it - so we're probably looking at the very real possibility of Batman getting either killed or his back snapped by Bane.

As much of a badass he is, I still don't think Christian Bale is the right guy for the job. Batman doesn't have a lisp.

fair enough, that might be the case. maybe i had the wrong kind of expectations but they were created by a trailer that framed the film as being a trippy dream sequence type of film, not a simple hiest film (which admittedly is a genre that i mostly don't like save reservoir dogs).
but even that shouldn't be enough to make me dislike a film and it wasn't that alone that made me dislike the film. things i hated:
- poor, forgetable charaters. i don't like ellen page as a lead, especially not in an action film. more importantly, where was the iconic villian? ok, then how about a memorable villian? i mean this is nollan right, the same guy who did batman and all we get is g.i. joe, nameless faceless bad guys? didn't get keanu but then casted a look alike with similar manerisms? i mean come on, og keanu sucks enough do we have to cast a poor mans keanu?
- way to much time spent explaining the rules. it was a simple premise, no need to spend 45 minutes of screen time talking about it. as you go deeper, time slows down exponentially. could have explained it in one scene but beat it to death.
- severe lack of creativity for the dream worlds. they bait you with the mc escher stuff and then deliever nothing. if you watched any of the scenes in isolation you'd have no idea what was the dream world and what wasn't because there was nothing special about them. i think that's a major creative missed opportunity and found it especially annoying after being baited by a trailer that hinted at something better. at least throw some psychologically trippy stuff in there or subtle stuff.
- "The butler did it." unlike memento which didn't have fantasy elements but had an interesting, original premise with a fun to follow non-linear plot puzzel to solve, this film tried way to hard and failed miserably at this. the premise had been done so many times and they didn't change it one bit. they couldn't have someone else be dreaming, it had to be the main charater yet again. not a single curve ball, just the same old with the addition of nested dream worlds and exponential time slow down. not exactly a fun to solve puzzel when the whole film you are waiting for them to reveal the clincher and you get same old, same old "it's the main charater who's really dreaming." this is the one that amazes me the most, i can't believe more people weren't dissappointed by the weakness of the puzzel aspect of the film especially considering that they went so light on charaters, dialogs, sets, etc...

I wouldn't be surprised if Batman was killed at the end, but based on a plot synopsis--this one (http://movies.ign.com/articles/115/1153197p1.html) plus another on screen junkies I think, but I can't find it--I read I'm pretty sure Bane breaks his back in their first outing. Then Catwoman sort of takes over, and Batman returns. That's what it is believed to be hinted at when Gordon says "Batman must come back" and Bruce responds, "But what if he can't?" I don't think it's just a legal thing with the public thinking Batman killed Dent, but more of a physical detriment.

The Dark Knight Rises - Official Teaser Trailer [HD] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apMXFloDH6M#ws)

here's what i've noticed with this movie: is it just me or does it seem that most/a lot of the people hyped for DKR are either big Nolan fans or just fans of the franchise? like how many fans of this are actually fans of the comics and used to follow the storylines? The Dark Knight Returns? The Killing Joke? Year One?

The Dark Knight Returns? The Killing Joke? Year One?
Well, it's a long story...
I grew up lightly reading the comics, watching the 90's animated series / movies, playing with action figures, and watching the 4 Batman films of '89-90's (Yes, even Batman & Robin, which put a bad taste in everyone's mouth. After that, I got into Marvel films I guess as I grew up. I worked for three years as a canvasser. In 2007, my partner and I were robbed at gunpoint. Our wallets, phones, even our shoes, were taken. We were left unharmed, yet I felt so helpless after that. But I was also filled with anger, since the people who robbed my partner and I never went to court even after Detectives caught them robbing pizza guys and one of them had my phone. It was during this time that I saw Batman Begins for the very first time and was immediately inspired. I'm still blown away every time I see it. So of course that led me to Year One, The Long Halloween, The Killing Joke, The Dark Knight Returns, Under The Red Hood, Arkham Asylum, etc... Then I saw The Dark Knight which led me to see all of Nolan's other films. To this day I still want to go out and fight crime at night, or at least do some Charles Bronson shit. I know that nothing happened to my partner and I physically unlike Bruce witnessing his parent's death, but something did change me that night.

Both, which is why the pairing works so well. I started getting into the comics 3 years ago. Read the Dark Knight Returns, The Killing Joke, Arkham Asylum, Batman: HUSH (personal favourite) and the Long Halloween. However, for some reason or the other, I never read Year One, blowing it
Mask of the Phantasm is still my favourite piece of Batman film/comic/art ever.
I recorded the entire Batman: The Animated Series on my PVR and have been slowly watching them, theyre really well done, makes me wish I watched them when I was a kid
Im reading All Star Batman & Robin - The Boy Wonder. Story by Frank Miller, Art my Jim Lee (of Batman:HUSH) he's amazing

Batman won't die. Warner Brothers and DC would never green light a script with Batman getting killed at the end.

I was more of a Marvel kid in my days. I fucked around with some Batman issues though around the time Knightfall came out, which I'm assuming is a heavy influence on this film. I think I still have the issue where Bane actually breaks him, and then have the later issue where Jean-Paul takes the mantle as the new Batman and cripples Bane.

And if you think inception sucked you are a true hater
it only got 74 on metacritic which is not in an "unhatable" range by a long shot. after scanning the negative reviews plenty of people had problems with the exact same kind of things.
For the most part "Inception" is a handsome, clever and grindingly self-serious boy-movie, shorn of imagination, libido, spirituality or emotional depth. Nolan establishes a fascinating world, loaded with trapdoors, symbols and hidden secrets, and then squanders the opportunity on an overpriced "Twilight Zone" episode.
A film trying feverishly to spin your head whilst feverishly trying to explain how it's spinning it.
What is the point of having an imagination, I ask you, if the only thing that can be imagined is mayhem, perpetrated without regard for even the appearance of human life?
-
For those into the comics, I suggest you look into this cross over with spawn. I was always a big fan of both batman and spawn so I enjoyed it quite a bit. The story is decent, but I love the artwork.

My dad was really into Spawn back in the 90s so when I went looking through all of his comics i found two copies of that, along with The Dark Knight Returns and about the first 80 issues of Spawn. I read them all in just a few days and I've been hooked on comics ever since.
If only they did a proper Spawn film and really gave it the comic style justice it deserves..

Batman won't die. Warner Brothers and DC would never green light a script with Batman getting killed at the end.
christopher nolan has made plenty of loot for warner bros with the previous batman movies and inception. at this point, he can make a movie where its just batman jerking off for 2 and a half hours and they would green light it as long as its the next batman flick.
-
There is already plans for a Batman after this one, whether or not Bale and the cast is in the next one, who knows, but Nolan is going to be in some type of consulting role.
I honestly think, Nolan might just fucking end this one with a broken Batman and let someone else pick up the reins and start fresh.
Whoa, what's up Luke? Haven't seen you on here too much lately. Hope you're well. Where'd you hear about a new Batman after this one? I'm curious to read up on it if you have a link.

Footage of a fight between Batman and Bane.

From the looks of it, they must be taking inspiration from the Knightfall story arc where Bane breaks out the inmates of Arkham Asylum.

Hey man. Things are alright. I have about 2 months left. I am fucking burned out. Summer is awful here, we get attacked a lot more and it's just a pain in the ass. I also managed to knock out a 3 college classes in four weeks. I got an A, a B and a C and that's great but I will never do that again!
Anyways, here's the link for you. Last paragraph in the article itself.

There is already plans for a Batman after this one, whether or not Bale and the cast is in the next one, who knows, but Nolan is going to be in some type of consulting role.
I honestly think, Nolan might just fucking end this one with a broken Batman and let someone else pick up the reins and start fresh.

It is Nolan's last Batman film. It will be rebooted in a few years and due to the success of Nolan's films, he may help in some way. Also, Pittsburgh has been insane so far. Let me know if you guys want to know any spoilers or anything.
Oh and Donkey Lips, Catwoman looks awesome. Anne is gorgeous. Don't bash it just yet; she will wear a cowl / mask for the full Catwoman look later on.

They need to chill the fuck out with those Lego vehicles. Batman's ride needs to be classy, not the product of a kindergarten toddler having his soda pop laced with acid.

Anne is gorgeous.
any male fans should see her in havoc

ScreenRant posted a picture of a stunt double with what appears to be a different mask than the one Anne was photographed in above and on the Batpod.
(http://screenrant.com/wp-content/uploads/Dark-Knight-Rises-Catwoman-Mask.jpg)
But I dunno, the mask looks too simple compared to those high-tech night vision goggles, why would she downgrade? It's the general consensus of the film sites that her costume will evolve towards the end of the film to something more classifiable as a definite Catwoman costume. What I'm more interested is how she plans to keep her identity a secret with only a thin eye mask like that, unless she can avoid cameras. Wayne, Alfred, and Lucius are no fools. Or maybe her identity isn't a secret at all, at least to them. And I'm not sure if this supports or debunks rumors that Catwoman "takes up the cowl" and protects Gotham with her own brand of justice after Bane debilitates Batman.

The Dark Knight Returns comic is pure gold. And Anne Hathaway in Havoc.... BONERR 2 DA MAX

I just picked up 'Year One', Frank Miller is always legit really stoked to read it. I tried to get Knightfall but it was sold out.
Catwoman looks pretty much exactly how I pictured her. Some trendy motorcycle leather type thing, if she has a cowl and ears then legit
Will never compare to 'Dat Ass'

Recently I've been on a comic torrent rampage and ended up getting most of the big story arcs of batman. I'm in the middle of Knightfall right now. I suggest if you want to read them, just get the torrents. But it is way cooler having the actual comic so that is understandable.

Also, Joey King is listed on IMDB and Wikipedia as "Young Talia Al Ghul." I think it's 99% confirmed, although that doesn't mean Marion Collitard's Miranda Tate is necessarily the present Talia Al Ghul. But c'moooonn.
-
Crane driver by day, superhero by night.
-
Marion IS Talia. She probably plays a new Wayne employee "Miranda Tate" and gets close to Bruce, and then betrays him by revealing her true identity and reasons for being in Gotham. Makes perfect sense that she would avenge her Father's death. Talia / League Of Shadows team up with or perhaps raise Bane and they break in to WE and steal the 3 camo tumblers. They also team up with a group of mercenaries who fight against GPD while Batman fights Bane at City Hall.

The Dark Knight Rises Official Trailer 2 HD (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bx2rhzcIVxo#ws)

A great trailer that leaves a lot to question. My big one is, what is that room with the stairs? It seems as though it's at the bottom of that well we see someone climb in the teaser trailer, and that Bane's forces descend into the cavern to fight.

There's speculation that it is the Lazarus pit, Ra's al Ghul's source of eternal life. I'm pretty damn skeptical of this though, Nolan's Batman world exists in the realm of reality ultimately making sources of eternal life too farfetched for his story. But that doesn't mean legends don't live forever, which is most likely what a major plot theme in this film will be.
-
Banes voice is not what I expected it to be. It's far creepier for some reason.
-
Sorry to say, but it looks a bit silly to me. Not creepy and dark.
And I thought Bane was more of a brainless henchman instead of a real villain.

Joel Schumacher bastardized him in Batman & Robin. He's actually calculating along with being physically intimidating in the comics.
-

That's what you get from the trailers? Or that's what you think he's supposed to act like? In the comic he's pretty smart and composed. He releases criminals around Gotham to weaken down Batman and test him. When Batman is finally exhausted, Bane jumped in and focuses him.
-
I'm into Tom being Bane, but I just imagined a bald Javier Bardem giving the proper accent, out-maneuvering Batman and malevolently towering over his broken body, and it was great.

It's kinda crazy how many people have seen The Dark Knight without seeing Batman Begins. I've run into quite a few of them. I think a lot of people must not know it's also directed by Christopher Nolan and supposed to be part of the new series.

Yeah, I hadn't seen Begins until a few nights ago, but I saw Dark Knight when it came out. I knew it was directed by Nolan and was the 'prequel' for his series but I don't rent movies very often. When I saw it though I was fucking hyped!

The trailer was little lackluster to me but served it's purpose I suppose and I'm sure this one will be good as I haven't been disappointed thus far. I'm most curious to see how this one plays out knowing that after Heath Ledger passed away they had to pretty well redo the whole fucking thing.
Ah, but speaking of comic book trilogies - anyone remember how the first X-Men was good, the second one fucking ruled, and then the third was just a pile of absolute shit? Same thing with Spiderman.

The Ratman! Ya, he's terrible. It still surprises me that he did The Red Dragon, one gem amongst the turds. And I don't think The Dark Knight Rises is going to disappoint. Christopher Nolan simply would not have made it otherwise. Unlike other movie franchises, he wasn't under contract to do 2 more after he finished Batman Begins. He's making these movies because he knows they fucking rule. The Dark Knight Rises will be no exception. Can't wait to see what he works after this whole Batman fiasco is over (albeit, it's a wonderful fiasco that I'm very much a part of).

Never thought I'd say it

So the next Dark Knight Rises trailer will premier next week in front the The Avengers. The film will also boast an hour of IMAX footage. This next trailer better bring it because as of right now, those Prometheus trailers seriously backed their case as a serious contender for movie of the summer. More below if anyone is interested:

Maybe borrowing from the HUSH storyline if they have some sort of romance.

But holy fuck. What a trailer. I'm hyped again
Still unsure of Joseph Gordon-Levitts role in this but I'm sure he'll be awesome

Damn, I just saw this. I don't know how I missed it. I'm excited again. Thoughts:
-Joseph Gordon-Levitt.. I'm trying to make a connection somewhere but I don't know. I wouldn't be surprised if his role isn't as deeply rooted as these trailers suggest, and he's more of a hopeful cause for Batman to return, but I don't know. Him holding up his hands, seemingly in prayer, definitely raises some cause for consideration and deliberation. The only thing that I can gather is that he seems to have an established relationship with Selina Kyle. Is there any storyline where Selina Kyle/Catwoman works on the side of the law with someone other than Batman? Or someone else who's fighting on that side, with no direct affiliation to Batman?
-Catwoman's role in the trailer is a definite improvement over my previous reservations, and it does seem like she's trying to hold up the mantle in Batman's absence. But down the line, she can't hold it together. I wish they kept her allegiances a mystery, but that barrel roll was by no means unpleasant on the eyes.
-Quick scene of Miranda Tate and Bruce locking lips in his mansion. I find it curious how they haven't shown her speaking yet, Talia Al Ghul has a distinct accent..
Picking up where I left off in my comic collection a few months back.
-
i hope batman and catwoman get together and have a baby and they make a spin off show where the kid grows up and has loads of pressure to become a cat or a bat and he cant handle the stress so he rebels against his parents by getting into weed and skating and forming a punk rock band and batman tries to persuade him to carry on the family legacy and he's like 'fuck off dad, i dont wanna be a superhero, i just wanna play my guitar', and then his band starts getting successful but batman/catwoman never support his music until the final scene where he's playing a show and he looks out into the crowd and sees his parents and looks them in the eyes and finds happiness and says 'this is a new song i wrote that goes out to my parents, its called 'superheros save the world' '

New footage from the MTV movie awards. I'm completely sold on Anne Hathaway as Catwoman. When she says "don't be shy", I get a semi chub.

I dig Hathaway as Catwoman. She isn't so much of a sex-pot that I'd have to stifle my chubby the entire movie wondering when she's going to next appear, but attractive enough that I'd still bang the shit out of her at any moment's notice. Good choice, I think. A voluptuous Catwoman would really hold the atmosphere of the film askew - I spent movies like Tron, during pivotal scenes, imaging myself ramming Olivia Wilde up the ass.
Levitt's casting just seems ephemeral. Dude's pretty fashionable these days and this I almost see as something beyond Nolan's decision but more moves behind the scenes in getting Levitt - especially after Inception - truly established as a player in Big Action Movies.

The Dark Knight Rises - Official Trailer #4 [HD] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkZLHBrjAgc&hd=1#ws)
aaaaayyyyyyyyee.
Whoever is editing the trailers knows how to crescendo the impending hype train with the score. Two of the corniest shots though:
Police charging like they're in Braveheart.
Slo-mo fist catch of Bane. You ain't Neo son. If anything, you're supposed to be slower if not on par in reaction time to the Bat. Super Saiyin II bullshit. But overall, soooooo excited.

Jesus Im as hyped for the score as I am for the whole movie. The score made Inception that much better, and the same will happen here.

Brian Limond - "Just back from a special preview screening of The Dark Knight Rises. Very good. It's everything and more. You're gonna LOVE IT!"
Marco Gennuso @marcogennuso - Vince just saw Dark Knight Rises at a press screening & says: "Wow. Quite speechless at the moment....TDKR was everything I wanted it to be"

Lauren Heistand - "The Dark Knight Rises has just finished screening for the press and critics, receiving a STANDING OVATION!!!"

At the beginning of one of the trailers it looks like he's in a wheel chair. It could be that he's using a cane but still, he's fucked up a bit. I'm sure everyone here knows what Bane does to him in the comics so I'm not sure if it's really a spoiler or what. Is there a way to put spoiler tags on here?
It's the first scene.

Not a wheel chair, but he is using a cane. I wonder if that's post-Bane effect, or if it's just to emphasize that Bruce has been worn down to old-man status before he even dons the costume again? There's no possible way they'll avoid the collision between the two that happened in the comic, but Nolan will probably change it up a little.
The theater a few miles from me is running a triple feature on premier night, so it's 8-9 hours of entertainment. I might actually do it. It's only like $25, probably only respectful movie patrons will go, and it locks down a seat for the premier of tdkr.

Yeah after watching it again it makes more sense for it to be a cane. I am sure Nolan will try and make it unpredictable but still stay true to the comics, in a way. I would totally do that triple feature if I had the money, but I have them on dvd anyway so I might just watch them at home the day before. Some girl bought a friend of mine a ticket to The Avengers when that came out and it ended up being the fucking six movie marathon thing they were doing and he didn't realize it until she already bought the ticket so he ended up going to it. That sounds like way to fucking long to be sitting in a theater though.

Ragu Stamp of Approval. Satisfied all around. Except one tiny thing: HIGHLIGHT FOR SPOILER
Bane being Talia's "goon" or sorts at the end seemed almost too reminiscent of the Poison Ivy/Bane collabo in Batman & Robin. But, easily passible.

Great film, definitely lived up to the hype. Hardy certainly draws from his role as Bronson in how he is a Bane.
-
was definitely really chron. i dont know if its quite dark knight, but you shouldnt expect that anyway. surprised how well anne hathaway did as catwoman

Alfred is good.
The plot relied heavily on knightfall.
The whole bomb thing was stupid.
To be honest, none of his 3 films have been all that. The whole realistic approach just seems dumb. Surely someone could have come up with a more interesting approach by now? At least Sin City tried to keep the feel of the comics.

I don't get when people say they don't like the Nolan Batmans being grounded in reality. I know there's different iterations and series of batman, but he's the dark knight. The subject matter is dark, the city is corrupt and violent.
The Burton Batman was good, but the Schumacher ones were just campy garbage. Nolan crafted a believable batman world which allowed people to relate more; it was heavier, and it felt more grand - just my opinion, but the reception to the films tells me a lot of people feel the same way.
I will agree with you that Sin City did a great job handling the material and getting the feel of the comics. At the same time, it's kind of like apples to oranges. You can't handle an action hero like Batman the same way you would handle a methodical, detective, noir film thing.

I think I may be in the minority here, but I really did not enjoy the movie.

I watched the movie. Let it settle. Watched it again. Then let it settle a little more . . . . . .
And I'm with you duffmanshredder.
Though the film wasn't bad per se (a handful of sequences were worth the price of admission alone), I still find all the universal acclaim its been getting as rather unwarranted. It was one, big, huge clusterfuck. Nolan shot his wad a little too far with this one in certain respects. A few of the story beats towards the end of the film had my eyes rolling every which way.
Also, the film had a chance to end on an ambiguous note (ala. Inception, but not quite . . cause that would be tacky), but got a complete gag inducing cop-out of a bookend instead.
Though i must say, I really really like Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle. Maybe its cause i wasn't expecting much in the first place . . .

I assume you mean the scene at the cafe? I see where you're coming from, but Batman and Catwoman getting together was satisfying on a Mulder and Scully getting together scale. And it would be hard to live with Alfred being bummed to death.
And to the goofus who said Nolan's realistic style doesn't fit with the comics, Batman has had so many different authors and artists for over 70 years making so many different styles, and Nolan's take fits right in. And as a fan of the comics, I think Burton's movies were total bastardizations.

1: I FUCKING KNEW MARION COTILLARD WOULD BE TALIA
2: Anne Hathaway haters:

3: I was frustrated by the first act. I found it hard to believe Alfred would let Bruce fall into seclusion for eight years before he had enough and let him in on the letter.
4: BUT the cane in the first act did a great job of disguising the back breaking scene in the trailers. I, like everybody, assumed those scenes would be later in the movie, and not the beginning.
5: How much better would the 'trial' scenes have been if it was the Joker instead of Crane as the judge?
Overall, I loved it and thought it was a fitting end to the series.
-
Also, regarding the upcoming reboot, I have a feeling that it will prepare Batman to be a member of the Justice League, given the upcoming Superman movie and the recent Green Lantern one. Snyder has hinted at it, and you can't really top the action of ninjas with guns and tanks vs. cops and batwings unless you bring in Superman's aliens and shit, as they did with The Avengers.
-
This movie was fucking great. It was NOT perfect but it was tied together perfectly with the other films. It's only fault, in my opinion, is that it really can't stand on it's own. It's part of a trilogy and always has to be that way. A few things I loved:
- * Casting for the new characters was perfect. Hathaway is by far the best Catwoman (And they never referred to her as Catwoman), Tom Hardy was the perfect Bane. He somehow managed to balance a sense of chaos, fear, and brutality all with most of his face covered, and Joseph Gordon Levitt's Robin was a great mix between Tim Drake and Dick Grayson.
- * The scenes that came out of the comics. The back breaking scene and a few others where pretty much pulled directly from the comics. Having Scarecrow as the judge in those citizen court hearings was awesome and that entire set looked almost identical to one of the comics. Also, the references to Killer Croc was cool.
- * The use of Bane's prison pit as a mirror of the comics Lazerus Pit. In the comics, Ra's was literally immortal but in the film it was done in a way that his goal was immortal through Talia, who was born in the pit. Bruce is also "reborn" because of it.
- * The ending was a great way to tie together the message of the entire trilogy. It may have been a bit cliche, but it worked perfectly and I can't imagine any other ending really closing it up the right way.
Also, my friends little sister played the young Talia. I thought that was rad, personally.

I wasn't the greatest fan of Burton's Batman either. In general, Hollywood can't do comics very well. They weren't dark at all really. Look at the Killing Joke, Year One and Dark Knight Returns, all of them were way darker and had more of story and feel to them.
The thing I found was making these films look "realistic" made Batman look ridiculous. A few points in the film Batman just looked silly standing there in his suit, talking like a twat. The twist was pretty weak too and seemed pointless. Going for these big grandiose story lines is just typical Hollywood.

Dog, if you don't realize by now that the movie will never match the written imagination, do yourself a favor and let that fact sink in now. You have to take film adaptations for just that, and hope their references to the written source material are true as they can be, while also taking into account that this is an entirely different medium and story altogether. If you look at any scene of Batman standing in a suit "talking like a twat" (both film and comics) then normalcy will tell you, it is silly and ridiculous. Nothing makes it cool unless you want it to be. Batman is always a big grandiose story.. that's what makes any comic character interesting and relatable. If you don't like it, you don't like it. But don't try to blame it on generalized gradations of book vs. movie because you're not presenting a debatable issue there, you're presenting accepted fact.
Also, as for "talking like a twat" and anyone who thinks the hoarse voice is unnecessary:

It wasn't a very good adaptation. It could have been done more imaginatively. Obviously you can't exactly match the other, but 20 + years down the line and still on this MI-style shit?
Obviously there is a gap between the two mediums but do something with that. If you don't expect anything, then you're happy whatever I suppose.

I haven't seen this yet but if it's a clusterfuck the reasoning behind that would probably be the fact that Heath Ledger died forcing Christopher Nolan to start over on everything he had in mind. I could be wrong but I feel like I remember hearing the studio pressured him into making a new script by a current date and then this movie still came out a little later than it was supposed to.

5: How much better would the 'trial' scenes have been if it was the Joker instead of Crane as the judge?
I was thinking this exact thing while the movie was on. Crane was out because the prison got busted open, and according to the storyline The Joker was in that prison too. Fucking lame that Ledger had to die. He would have been AMAZING in that role.
Criticize this Bane all you want, its 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times better than the last movie Bane, where he couldn't even talk and dies without much of a fight at all. What a fucking shame that was.
What I thought made this one cool was knowing coming in that Nolan said it was the final chapter, so anything could have happened, especially with Bane as the bad guy, and really, in the end, although he survives, Bruce's life is pretty destroyed despite surviving. Of course, when I saw that scene at the beginning, I knew they were giving it the ol' Good Will Hunting ending.
I was kind of hoping that it would end with him actually killing bane instead of Selena doing it, the way he so obsesively avoids killing people I thought it would be an awesome end. He was ready to do it too, its a shame it didn't go down that way.
Overall, a satisfying end to the trilogy, flawed at points, but a really intense movie.

I thought the last scene would have been better if it cut on michael caines face lighting up from seeing something across the cafe leaving the reaction shot of bale up to our imagination. and i hope to god they dont continue with the series with levitt as the new batman/fighting crime as robin.
This is EXACTLY the ending I was thinking of.
Also, its been written many times since Batman Begins first came out that one of the stipulations Christian Bale and Nolan agreed upon before making the movie series was that Robin would never ever in a million years show his face in the trilogy. Bale fucking hated the the whole concept of having a Robin-esque character within this modern day vision of the Batman mythology.
I dunno if the studio pressured them into doing so (cause this is the type of shit they do) . . . but that little thing they pulled with Joseph Gordon Levitt's character at the end was sooooooo lame. It really wasn't called for, and pretty pandering.
If they were to do a *wink wink nudge nudge* thing to the audience, why couldn't they have just said his full legal name was Richard Greyson or something, instead of fuckin "ROBIN." There were definitely a few instances in the film that seemed to impugn the audience's movie-watching comprehension, opting to hold the viewer's hand by fucking explaining shit that wasn't exactly rocket science to begin with.
The film's predecessor, "The Dark Knight," didn't do any of that shit.

Nolan had a lot on his plate wrapping this series up. There were a lot of themes left from the 2nd film to resolve. Up until now, I had no reason to doubt his judgement. There is a great film buried in the dark knight rises. Like you said, I feel like a lot was over explained instead of trusting the audiences' intelligence. The filmmaker in me wants to do my own edit of this film once its on dvd, although I hope Nolan does a director cut of his own thats at least 30 minutes shorter. The pieces of a masterpiece are there, it just didn't have the rhythm necessary to deliver.
-
You gotta wonder what Nolan and co had in mind for the finale before Heath died. You know when he got the news of his death, Nolan must of shit himself.
-
Killer Croc joke near the beginning of the movie got me chuckling. The first 2/3s of the movie were much better than the last. I'm glad they had the image of Bane dropping Batman over his knee. Marion Cotillard is still fucking smoking hot.

agreed on all accounts, especially what I bolded.
With the task of wrapping the series up, it seems likes Nolan tried to keep in mind what certain niche spectators would wanna see in a final installment (comic book enthusiasts, geeks, cinephiles, critics, general popcorn popping audiences, etc.), and kinda went all over the map as to keeping everyone happy and satiated.
Certain parts of the film were fucking amazing, but a lot of it was ultimately tarnishing to all the cinematic momentum Nolan and co. had been building upon up and to this point in time.
And what we're left with is an unnecessarily bloated mess.

Just saw it. Way different than expected. Completely different tone from the last film. I really enjoyed it, and Tom Hardy, for having such little dialogue, really stole the show. First act felt rushed. Last 8 minutes also felt rushed. I'm going to have to see it and digest it again in order to shit out a decent opinion. Spoiler below.
I would make an honest woman out of Anne Hathaway.
-
Awesome movie as expected, but the ending did feel a little rushed. Bruce wayne's "burial" and the caf? scene were too close together to really give you the idea bruce/batman had actually died in the explosion. it would've been more satisfying if he were actually dead, but batman saved gotham once and for all, and the whole robin bit would've been left out. would've been really epic to end the trilogy on a dark note. Also agree that the inception-esque michael caine-only ending would've been better than actually seeing bruce and selina together. Also, when bane and his henchmen escape from wall street it's light out, but "within 8 minutes" according to the movie, it's totally dark out (during the motorcycle chase). That was a pretty big flaw.
When batman and catwoman kiss in full constume, people were clapping. and here, NO ONE fucking claps at the movies, so that was pretty epic.
An awesome movie with a few flaws but all in all an awesome way to end the trilogy. can't wait to get my hands on some special edition blu-ray for all the extras.

If you liked Tom Hardy and haven't already seen Bronson, you should really check it out.. It's on Netflix.

I would have liked the ambiguous ending at the cafe more as well, but I did smile more than scoff when I saw a healthy and happy looking Bruce cheers-ing Alfred. I also agree that the editing could've used some major trimming and replacement.
As far as the Robin inclusion.. I liked it. I had an idea from the onset with Batman Begins that there would be someone to pick up the mantle when his time was done. In Begins, he said he wanted to be a "symbol, more than just a man." In The Dark Knight, he was already looking for someone to replace him, albeit without a mask. In TDKR, early on he saw in Blake similarities between themselves and his passion for a more unorthodox, yet respectable kind of justice. This motivated him to reveal his intent with Batman, to be able to pass it along and never have it be just about Bruce Wayne. They found a believable way to include a character to don the cowl while relating them to the Robin's of the mythos.
Throughout the years, Nolan and co. have always given/allowed plenty of information without revealing true intentions or disguising words to allow ambiguity. I think Christian just never wanted to see a 12-year-old Robin flying around in a leotard like in the comics. I don't think many people did, but you'd be hard-pressed to disagree that the films didn't pave the way for someone to take over. First it was meant to be a true public hero, Dent. But Bruce realized it had to be someone who couldn't be broken when the chips were down, someone who could make sacrifices in a way a tax-paid protector of justice couldn't. Jonathan Nolan convinced his brother to include Selina Kyle because she tested Batman's morals and trust the way Batman tests Lucius and Gordon's. Article here (http://m.vh1.com/news/article.rbml?id=1685958&nb_recoItem=mgid%3Auma%3Acontent%3Avh1.com%3A1685958&nb_recoId=307ac76e-83b0-4211-82a9-8e618323a3ff.2&cid=recco). I think the reason for including Robin in some aspect is the same argument: To tell the complete story of Bruce Wayne/Batman, it would be sacrilegious to the story to leave this portion of the story out. Bruce finally trusts someone else to make the hard decisions, to take over when he can no longer do what needs to be done. To me, it has all been very fitting.
-
More Spoilers!
I thought the Robin bit was more of a joke. When the clerk said "You should go by your full name, Robin" and Blake rolled his eyes and kind of smirked like "No fucking way that's happening". But either way, funny inclusion.
Here are some questions I have now that you guys might be able to help me with.
-Blake killed two guys (one with a night stick and one with a ricochet bullet), went into a panic about what he'd done, but then the city blew up and nobody cared. Does anybody remember that?
-It was pretty obvious from the beginning that Talia was the one that escaped and Bane didn't, since they showed flashbacks of a child making the jump, and explained early on that Bane had been beaten so badly he required the mask. I feel like they kind of ruined the surprise with that. Not really a question, just an obvious editing kurfuffle that I was wondering if anybody else noticed.
-If the bomb was set to destroy the city in 5 months time anyway, why wait? I'm guessing Bane and Talia could've just pulled the city apart in one month, giving Bruce less time to escape from the prison, but still giving him the same agony of watching the city crumble. I realize the point was to unravel Gotham from the seams and force Batman to watch it...but 5 months?
-The entire city watched the Bane-stock-hijack, said "Oh shit, they're stealing a ton of money", and then the next day Bruce Wayne is bankrupt...and nobody draws the parallels on that one?
As was said before, Nolan had a huge amount of things to close up, within a time frame of about 2-3 hours, and still had to appease the audience (people who know care/know nothing about the comic, people who are die-hards, and new patrons of the series). I feel like he did an excellent job. I did expect an Inception'esq zinger at the end, but there was nothing. That's fine, he wants to put this trilogy to bed and not get a lot of discussion about "What's happening in the 4th movie?" emails.
Who ever he puts in charge of casting for these films, is the fucking Michael Jordan of Casting Directors though.
-
I don't have a great answer to all of these but my thoughts:
-Blake killed two guys (one with a night stick and one with a ricochet bullet), went into a panic about what he'd done, but then the city blew up and nobody cared. Does anybody remember that?
Those aren't necessarily relatable because Blake was in a panic that he killed two people, whereas the bombs weren't his own doing. I'm sure he wasn't happy about that obviously, but there was a lot of forward motion after that scene and hardly any time to reflect.
-It was pretty obvious from the beginning that Talia was the one that escaped and Bane didn't, since they showed flashbacks of a child making the jump, and explained early on that Bane had been beaten so badly he required the mask. I feel like they kind of ruined the surprise with that. Not really a question, just an obvious editing kurfuffle that I was wondering if anybody else noticed.
I had just assumed that Bane was the child as was told, and got messed up afterwards. But I agree with you, sounds like an editing mishap. Was also fooled by the daydream with Ra's where Bruce believed Bane was his child, though I figured something would come to disprove that. I blew it on guessing the kid was Talia, since I knew Joey King played young Talia. Just didn't recognize her with a shaved head.
-If the bomb was set to destroy the city in 5 months time anyway, why wait? I'm guessing Bane and Talia could've just pulled the city apart in one month, giving Bruce less time to escape from the prison, but still giving him the same agony of watching the city crumble. I realize the point was to unravel Gotham from the seams and force Batman to watch it...but 5 months?
I think this is just one of those villians letting their monologue run too long and they get fucked because of it kind of things. There's no good answer that I can think of, you have a solid point.
-The entire city watched the Bane-stock-hijack, said "Oh shit, they're stealing a ton of money", and then the next day Bruce Wayne is bankrupt...and nobody draws the parallels on that one?
Well.. fuck. Only thing I can think of is Dagget had some men on the inside that wanted Bruce to go down as well, and were able to forestall an internal investigation. Bruce also disappeared for five months and money became useless within a day or so of that anyway. I could see how pursuing an investigation would have sidetracked the flow of the movie, and they needed to make quick moves to hold Wayne Enterprises ownership in any situation, which would be why they pursued Miranda to uphold it instead of looking into it.
-
I never read the graphic novels or was a huge fan of Batman before the Nolan reboot, like so many others here, but I thought Bane was a way cooler villain than the Joker. I thought that the Joker was a better character, though. Does that make sense?
Marion Cotillard stole my attention every second she was on screen.
Snowy Gotham city was rad. That is all.
-
I thought Bane was a way cooler villain than the Joker. I thought that the Joker was a better character, though. Does that make sense?
That's exactly how I felt. Bane was great throughout the whole film, up until the last 30 mins. where you find out that he's nothing more but a henchman for Talia and gets blow away by Catwoman after the reveal. This big, evil presence that the film made him out to be the whole time was thrown right out the window for me at that point.
-
Saw it in IMAX - loved it.
Bane was a gangster and I'd stick my tongue up Anne Hathaway's asshole no hesitation.
Yeah, I always find it so difficult to really write anything of value about a movie I've just watched. I guess I've got to give myself time to let everything sink in.

I love IMAX. Its so good it makes it that much harder to get used to when they switch back to 35mm.
A few thoughts on the movie.
Overall I left feeling very satisfied. Anne Hatheway was the best part of the movie. She kept the film together for the first 1hr. I really wasn't feeling the beginning, her opening robbery was fantastic.
In terms of Nolans films, this defintely feels the most sloppy . This guy knows how to make movies, watch any of his past films and they have a crispness to them, very precise in every music cue, camera angle, piece of dialogue and edit. For the most part, this did not feel like that. Of course it had its moments, large action set pieces and emotional scenes between alfred/bruce and some others. However, it felt like they shot over by an hour, went back, realized all the shit they had to adjust, then tried their best.
Tom Hardy did a great job. I thought Bane taking over the city with a bomb and that whole storyline was extremely ambitious, it just never got off its feet. Gotham did not seem all that bad, that's because they didn't show any of the city, they showed maybe 1 or 2 buildings with some main characters in it, otherwise, everyone was sitting on their couches watching GNN and eating kraft dinner.
Things I liked:
Lazurus Pit/Prison comparisons.
Back story to Talia, I knew she was in the movie, but this caught me off guard.
Everything Anne Hatheway
The Scarecrow running the sentencing
John Blake, for most of the movie he was a great character, although his name should have been Richard Grayson and not "Robin" wow did not like that
Thigns I didn't like:
FUCKING MATTHEW MODINE. That guy seriously sucked. No point in casting him. His scenes were stiff, forced, he got trampled on by everyone in that movie. I was seriously bummed at how bad he was.
Spoon feeding the audience. Ok. Its a big blockbuster movie. But seriously, no need to show that many flashbacks like the audience has the memory capacity of a cocker spaniel.
Quirky cop one liners "You're in for a show tonight son" shut up you fat fuck. This is not Spiderman. No need for cheap laughs and regular one liners.
I gotta watch it again. Im just hoping I like it more the second time and don't nitpick pointless stuff.
-
In fairness, haven't their been several robins aside from Richard Greyson? The first one was Jason something right? The joker killed his ass though and they replaced him, and a few others
-
Dick Grayson was the first, who went on to be Nightwing, and eventually Batman himself. Jason Todd was the second, and so disliked by readers that they made complaints to drop him, which DC did by having the Joker kill him. Tim Drake was the third, who went on to be Red Robin, basically Dick Grayson as Batman's Robin.

Jason did eventually return as the Red Hood, which I think is a more interesting character. Kinda twisted, fighting evil, but with no restraints towards killing as Batman has.

And now the love-child between Talia and Bruce, Damien Wayne, is the new Robin in the New 52 story arcs. He's a little shit though.

Am I the only one on these forums that found Bane's voice pretty much ruined the movie? His voice didn't fit his look at all, and was the silliest, campiest non threating voice ever. WTF? That didn't both anybody else?

i thought i was the only one. he came off a bit corny to me. i found myself laughing at some points, not because i thought he said something funny, but because i thought what he said was stupid. almost annoying. &the effects they put on his voice made it not fit into to the movie. his voice was always louder than everyone else's, even if he had a bag over his head or if he was the farthest person in the scene. &the sort of overdrive/distortion effect they put on it made it difficult to understand what he was saying a lot of the time.
-
It was entertaining. I liked aspects of it but it seemed a lot less polished than TDK. I guess that's just what happens when you try to follow up the Joker with a glorified henchman (at least that's the way the movie portrays him). I am definitely super burnt out on superhero movies though, so I'm probably just way too cynical about this shit.
I was pretty unimpressed with the whole cops storming city hall sequence. They emerge after months trapped underground in sewers, and suddenly you see them all clean-shaven, with perfectly pressed uniforms. Then they all run in a column at a bunch of heavily armed goons, literally 3-4 of them go down before the whole thing turns into a convenient fist-fight just in time for Batman to waltz in. Nitpicking I know, but it seemed pretty sloppy.
Worse though, were the romance subplots. Talia/Tate shows up at his door, for reasons that weren't made clear or I don't remember, and they fuck, for reasons that weren't made clear or I don't remember. Then without any real justification, Bruce repeatedly puts heaps of trust in Selina/Catwoman before running off with her? I guess there's probably some explanation buried away in the relentless expository dialogue (good ol' Christopher), but they both seemed ridiculously underdeveloped. Which is a pretty weird critique to have to make about a 2 1/2 hour movie.

Yep. You're right. My bad. Went back and watched Dark Knight last night and realized it was not even close to the same guy. Wonder where in the fuck I got that idea from.

I liked his voice, it was just hard to understand at some parts.
-
I liked the voice. They did change the voice from what it was supposed to be originally. Anybody remember when there was the prologue floating around a few months ago with Bane hijacking Dr Pavel's airplane? It seemed like he had a way creepier and harder to understand voice in that. I think the original trailer had the different voice also, because I remember people freaking out saying they couldn't understand the part about him saying "When Gotham is ashes".
-
The voice did bug me. Maybe its the combination of the muffled sound and the accent or something. For me it wasn't cause it wasn't scary, but just hard to understand at times. The guy monologues a lot and it would have been better to just have a better voice to comprehend. And Anne Hathaway was fine as Cat Woman but something about her made her unecessary for some reason. You could have taken her out and I think the movie would have been pretty much the same.
I think the ending was the overall best part of the movie. I was expecting more of a "Batman saved the day" conclusion but that mad the film for me.
-
Loved Bane's voice and speech mannerisms.
The whole point was to illustrate that this man is not a stupid brute. It reflects his intellect perfectly and sounds very cool with the effects

I was completely thrilled with his voice. The second I heard it in the first plane scene, Bane got 10 times cooler for me. I don't know, but I think it had to do with the fact that I wasn't expected his accent. I can understand how some people wouldn't like it though.
-
Hardy was an excellent Bane. The writing for his character was superb and really helped showcase that Bane was the overall worst dude you'd ever tangle with. Everything from the quick remarks, to the overall nonchalant approach of killing his own men (the plane scene, the scene in the sewer where he kills one of his own men, then tells the other one "Search him. Then I'll kill you.", and the guy obeys).
-
So it looks like catwoman will be "good"
Maybe borrowing from the HUSH storyline if they have some sort of romance.
Still not all that hyped on Banes voice, I think that'll be a major criticism once this comes out.
But holy fuck. What a trailer. I'm hyped again
Still unsure of Joseph Gordon-Levitts role in this but I'm sure he'll be awesome
Back when the first trailers were coming out I had a feeling people would be hating on his voice. Not really a stretch to predict that
I like the voice. Early in shooting, someone posted the scene where Bane is speaking the stadium full of people saying shit like "Take back your city" I remember being mortified hearing his voice and thinking it would be like that in the movie, luckily the put it through a shit ton of filters and probably rerecorded the whole thing
-
Bane sounded like a condescending Sean Connery.

I was hoping there would be more about why his men were so willing to die for him, was it because of the utopia or whatever that he promised? I agree with all of your view on bane btw. I liked his voice a lot.
and whoever was talking about the police clash- that clearly was the lamest part of the movie. On top of the first points made, if people in the city really wanted to take out these guys, why couldn't they do the exact same thing? Why does it take emaciated, been living in their own shit for months, cops to do it? Whatever though, I still liked the movie overall.

It's implied that the members of The League of Shadows will willingly sacrifice themselves for the greater cause.
I loved Bane's voice too. What would some of you have him sound like? Vin Diesel? He's supposed to sound the way he did, in my opinion.

That makes sense. Its a very anti-communist sort of message eh?
-
Does anyone know why Bane hooked up Dr Pavel to an IV in the plane scene? I just remembered that I never really figured that part out.

Pretty sure they were taking some of his blood to make it look like he died in the plane crash.

I felt a weird pang in my gut when he took Pavel and told one of his underlings to stay behind on the plane (just to keep the body count right when people search the wreck) and the poor dude looked at Bane like he was god
-
^ That's why I liked the movie. Bane was developed to be such a terrifying villain.
According to a friend, this is a story board they chose not to put in the movie:

Nolan would've never let that scene come to fruition. I think he even refused to alter any of the scenes or audio that Heath filmed for the Dark Knight out of respect for Heath's performance. All though it would've been cool to see a nod to the joker in some way, no idea how it would be done tastefully though.
-
It would've made for an awesome scene, but without Ledger starring as the Joker, it wouldn't be decent. Would the Joker would've even wanted to live in Gotham after Bane over threw it? He'd probably just go find a new city to flip on it's head.
-
Obviously it would only work if it were Ledger, but I like the idea of it, like Bane letting everybody out to raise hell, but even he's not fucked up enough to let the joker out into the chaos.
-
Seeing it again tomorrow, non IMAX this time, which I am somewhat looking forward too. The switch from 72 to 35 was really jarring at times, with the most noticeable part at the end of Bane and Batmans final fight when they take it inside

Just a thought
-
It's been eight years. Joker probably got his as shanked for the stunt with the boats and the inmates.
And that Batman Beyond poster is sick, but he looks a lot like Spider-Man 2099 with all the red.

In the comics he has a regular room at arkham and tends to survive due to his ability to manipulate prisoners

I think I may have missed my chance to see it in imax in my area. Bummed.

I was only trying to fill in a very big blank in the movie series due to Ledger's death. I used to work at a comic book store mayn, I'm well aware of comic Joker's shenanigans. It is a little frustrating there's no reference to him at all, since they reference two major events he was responsible for. Even some trophy case with some of his weapons would have been cool, kinda like the Arkham games.
-
It was entertaining. I liked aspects of it but it seemed a lot less polished than TDK. I guess that's just what happens when you try to follow up the Joker with a glorified henchman (at least that's the way the movie portrays him). I am definitely super burnt out on superhero movies though, so I'm probably just way too cynical about this shit.
I was pretty unimpressed with the whole cops storming city hall sequence. They emerge after months trapped underground in sewers, and suddenly you see them all clean-shaven, with perfectly pressed uniforms. Then they all run in a column at a bunch of heavily armed goons, literally 3-4 of them go down before the whole thing turns into a convenient fist-fight just in time for Batman to waltz in. Nitpicking I know, but it seemed pretty sloppy.
Worse though, were the romance subplots. Talia/Tate shows up at his door, for reasons that weren't made clear or I don't remember, and they fuck, for reasons that weren't made clear or I don't remember. Then without any real justification, Bruce repeatedly puts heaps of trust in Selina/Catwoman before running off with her? I guess there's probably some explanation buried away in the relentless expository dialogue (good ol' Christopher), but they both seemed ridiculously underdeveloped. Which is a pretty weird critique to have to make about a 2 1/2 hour movie.
yep. everyone who has ever watched saving private ryan knows what really happens if you open fire at a crowd of people. they dont run up and punch you in the face...
-
I hated this fucking movie such a disappointment after the dark knight he started going downhill with inception
-
I'm so bummed they changed his voice. When I saw the prologue in front of Mission Impossible III, I fucking loved Bane's voice. Was it hard to understand? Of course, but I thought that that added to his character much more. I was strained to hear what he was saying and I felt it made him that much more intimidating. His voice was much more British sounding and mechanical which added to his unfaltering maniacal precision. Anyway, now you guys can be the judge. Listen to the original "No! They'll expect one of us in the wreckage, Brother!". I love it. Here's hoping for an option on the DVD with all the original cuts of his voice.

Absolutely loved it. Like many here, I loved Bane, the voice was fantastic I thought, Tom Hardy was cast perfectly. Also had no idea how they would pull catwoman off, but Nolan did it, and very well at that, Hathaway was the perfect mix of flirty, sensitive and mischievous. Despite only having about 10 minutes screen time, I really thought Cillian Murphy again outdid himself as the scarecrow, the ruffled feather on the right side of the judges gown was the icing on the cake and he was as creepy as ever. And like always, Gary Oldman and Michael Caine were superb (Caine had me fighting back tears at numerous moments) Oldman, Caine and Freeman have been the backbone to all three films, absolutely subtly solid performances throughout. Joseph Gordon-Levitt was great too, despite the fudged ending. It tied up the whole trilogy well all in all though, some plotholes/flaws, but that's expected.
-
Awesome movie as expected, but the ending did feel a little rushed. Bruce wayne's "burial" and the caf? scene were too close together to really give you the idea bruce/batman had actually died in the explosion. it would've been more satisfying if he were actually dead, but batman saved gotham once and for all, and the whole robin bit would've been left out. would've been really epic to end the trilogy on a dark note. Also agree that the inception-esque michael caine-only ending would've been better than actually seeing bruce and selina together. Also, when bane and his henchmen escape from wall street it's light out, but "within 8 minutes" according to the movie, it's totally dark out (during the motorcycle chase). That was a pretty big flaw.
When batman and catwoman kiss in full constume, people were clapping. and here, NO ONE fucking claps at the movies, so that was pretty epic.
An awesome movie with a few flaws but all in all an awesome way to end the trilogy. can't wait to get my hands on some special edition blu-ray for all the extras.
no one did that in mine but some guy next to me did say "come on batman, stop snogging the lady and save the town" haha

Holy fucking shit.
Whether you disliked the movie or not. Watch this trailer, captures so much about whats good in the Nolan franchise. Fuck made me want to watch it in its entirety right now.

Finally got around to seeing it. I wasn't in to it, but then comic book fantasy stuff isn't really my thing, so I didn't have high hopes. I thought Banes character was pretty awesome. The right amount of creepy, insane, and brilliant. I think I would have liked it a lot more if Batman and Catwoman weren't... Batman and Catwoman. Seeing costumes like those immediately take me out of the movie, I just see adults wearing capes and spandex, and I feel like I'm watching a high school play. I know it's regular to say the Batman movie would have been better without Batman, but for me it would have been more enjoyable with a less silly hero. Again, I know I went to a Batman movie and am complaining about the Batman, which is really fucking stupid. Also, I really don't like Christian Bale when he's Batman. I can't take the overacting.

It does really show how in this series, each movie played a role in a larger story, which makes it better than any superhero series ever. Most of them follow this formula: First one is backstory, every one afterwards takes place in a world where they simply exist as superheroes and just face new villains, eventually the franchise loses steam and kinda fizzles away...

Well fuck me gently with a chainsaw. There's this other interview I saw a few years back with Waits in the 1970's or '80's that I can't find (I thought it was with Ed Sullivan but I was wrong) where he has a similar disconnected, do-as-I-please air to him. This may have been it, but if not, I'd like to see how it compares with this topic.
-
Just saw it and I'll admit it was one of the best movies I've ever seen. Exceeded my expectations and didn't think it had a chance at topping The Dark Knight but it somehow did. Only part I didn't like in the movie was how they killed off Bane's character. I was hoping for an epic showdown considering he is the main villain but just gets shot by a fucking cannon.
Favourite part was probably at the end when you find out Joseph Gordon-Levitt is actually Robin. Will they make a Batman and Robin movie now???
-
I would love to hear some of those first test voices for Bane with the fluid and what not.

saw it. it wasn't perfect but i liked it. it is after all batman and nolan did better than anyone else would at this time with it. i was bothered most by the pussy shitty cop charter and introducing that one lady as the main villian. would have preferred it stay bane but whatever, it was way better than most comic book movies.
i do find it funny that people are complaining about the spoon feeding here but that i was alone in that complaint in the inception thread. they beat dead horses for way longer in that stinker but i agree that nolan has lost steam and it feels like it's because he's pandering to the lowest common denominator in his audience.
-
I have nothing new to add but I'll say it anyways, it was great, no dark knight obviously.too many insane leaps from realism to absurd shit and back. I felt like anne hathaway was emulating michelle pfeiffer(sp) more than being her own character.when she's first shown she was all meek and I thoutht that was way hotter and interesting than just sass.bane was great, was lame how he died.but really nothing would have been satisfying while tieing into the theme of the series.the imax was unbelievable, I missed a few scenes just looking at skin, bane's ecu was the best thing in the movie.also the exchange on the plane 'well we caught u bain, wuts ur next move/''crashing the plane, with Nooo survviivorz' was so terrible and funny.

She didn't emulate her in any way; they both had entirely different motives and Anne's Catwoman was already an established badass while Michelle's had to be built from the ground up.
Also, aside, I wish they showed Wayne Tower in the movies beyond Batman Begins. In The Dark Knight it still felt like Gotham was a unique city. But in TDKR, all the bird's eye view city shots threw the guise entirely off and made Gotham all but disappear and replaced with Manhattan.
-
I absolutely loved the prologue, probably one of the best scenes in the film. 5:54 made me laugh so hard.

I agree. The fact that this film had a lot more day shots than the other two contributed too.
