THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Official Thread - 6/28 - TV Spot 10 on Last Page (More Selina Kyle)

i avoided this thread from day one until i went to the midnight showing on friday. overall, i couldn't say enough good things about the movie.

but the real reason why i come in here is to ask,

does anyone know where to watch the batman animated series rises marathon? i missed it when it aired on friday :nerd:
 
I DONT CARE WHAT NO ONE SAYS BAINE IS BADASS AND AN AWESOME VILLAIN. I DONT THINK HE COULD HAVE BEEN PORTRAYED ANY BETTER! AND YES IM YELLING.
 
My favorite scene from all three is the "interrogation scene"
Bats hitting Joker and Joker just laughing :wow:

You guys are looking waaay too far into this. The movie ends with him being called Robin and going into the Bat Cave. How does that make you think he in any way would be the next Batman rather than Robin? He's the PERFECT Robin...you need a more dominant figure to be Batman than him. I just don't think he'd fit that role. But like I said, the movie literally ends with him becoming Robin. Not everything is as deep as you guys try to make it out to be.

I don't think he becomes what we know as "Robin". Robin is his first name, I don't think he would then become a hero named Robin. D. Grayson is Robin, not some cop named Robin Blake. It seemed to look like he took over the Batman mantle. If he's not the next Batman, then some new unknown hero.

i say nightwing.. seems more appropriate

and man.. gotta give props to hardy for what he was able to do with the character.. the way he used his eyes
 
For those wanting the verbal discourse between Bane and Bats during the first fight:

Batman: You've made a serious mistake.

Bane: Not as serious as yours.....has she?


Batman: Bane!

Bane: Let's not stand on ceremony here......Mr. Wayne.

Bane: Age has taken your strength. Victory has defeated you.


Bane: Theatricality and deception, powerful agents against the uninitiated. But we ARE initiated, aren't we Bruce? Members of the League of Shadows....and you betrayed us!!!

Batman: You were ex-communicated, by a gang of psycopaths....

Bane: I am the League of Shadows.....and I'm here to fulfill Ras Al Ghul's Destiny!!!!

Bane: You fight like a younger man, nothing held back. Admirable, but mistaken.

Bane: Ohhhh, you think darkness is your ally. But you merely adopted the dark, I was born in it. Molded by it. I didn't see the light until I was already a man, by then it was nothing more than BLINDIING!!

Bane: The shadows betray you......because they belong to me!!

Bane: I will show you where I have made my home, while preparing to bring justice. Then, I will break you.

Bane: Your precious armory. Gratefully accepted. We will need it.

Bane: Ahhh yes I was wondering what would break first. Your spirit.....or your body!!!

Taking over a city and waiting 6 months to blow it up is stupid.

yea, that pretty much was just a dumb way to give batman enough time to recover from his back injury and escape the pit. The league of shadows was better off just getting another vaporizer and using the toxi, or just get tons of c4 and blow up buildings

My guy, they did that as a means of "torturing" Bruce Wayne. They "took" it over from "corrupt" officials, giving people hope that they would rise from the corruption and lies and become strong. But Bruce knew the true motives of the city were to give people hope and then Bane would take it away from them, and then kill them.

It was all an elaborate scheme to make Bruce suffer and ultimately destroy Gotham. They talk about it at the end when Talia has knifed Batman, she says that the slow, twisting knife causes the most pain, referencing the slow death of Gotham.

Good post.

The greatest thing I respect about Nolan's films is the smarter you are, the more you get out of them.

By the looks of all the stupid questions in here, people just don't "get it".

I get that, but you could torture Wayne other ways. have a direct web cam stream into the city showing how people are going crazy and turning on each other. Killing the rich etc. Also, didnt they think it was possible that their "torture" would just serve as motivation for him to get back. Idk, I just hate when villains leave people alive. I know it has to be that way in this case

Also to the guy above me, Nolans batman films arent that smart. get off your high horse.

And to those who say, well that's too much time for Bruce to recover from his injuries...

Bane, nor anybody else for that matter, was expecting him to recover from a broken back while in a prison underground. It's obvious by Bane's reactions to both the flaming bat on the bridge ("Impossible...") and when Batman had defeated Bane and had him on his back ("I broke you..."). None of that was expected, thus the greatness of Bruce rising above all his adversity, and making his recovery all the more miraculous.

These people fully expected Bruce Wayne to die a broken and beaten man in the prison, that is after Gotham was destroyed.

Dude. The movie ended with Batman being still alive and him being called Robin. How more obvious do you want it to be that he's Robin? He's gonna be some random "unknown hero" that's named Robin? No.

Well, it's darn smarter than Schumacher's films so I say it's smarter than the average Batman film. And I think nobody here is riding the high horse more than you bruh. I know you're smarter than that.

From CBR:

A member of the SuperHeroHype forums has transcribed a massive chunk of Christopher Nolan's forward from "The Art and Making of The Dark Knight Trilogy" book and the takeaway is pretty revealing. Check out the section below where Nolan describes his thoughts on "Batman Begins" turning into a trilogy.

"People ask if we’d always planned a trilogy. This is like being asked whether you had planned on growing up, getting married, having kids. The answer is complicated. When David and I first started cracking open Bruce’s story, we flirted with what might come after, then backed away, not wanting to look too deep into the future. I didn’t want to know everything that Bruce couldn’t; I wanted to live it with him. I told David and Jonah to put everything they knew into each film as we made it. The entire cast and crew put all they had into the first film. Nothing held back. Nothing saved for next time. They built an entire city. Then Christian and Michael and Gary and Morgan and Liam and Cillian started living in it. Christian bit off a big chunk of Bruce Wayne’s life and made it utterly compelling. He took us into a pop icon’s mind and never let us notice for an instant the fanciful nature of Bruce’s methods.

"I never thought we’d do a second -- how many good sequels are there? Why roll those dice? But once I knew where it would take Bruce, and when I started to see glimpses of the antagonist, it became essential. We re-assembled the team and went back to Gotham. It had changed in three years. Bigger. More real. More modern. And a new force of chaos was coming to the fore. The ultimate scary clown, as brought to terrifying life by Heath. We’d held nothing back, but there were things we hadn’t been able to do the first time out -- a Batsuit with a flexible neck, shooting on Imax. And things we’d chickened out on -- destroying the Batmobile, burning up the villain’s blood money to show a complete disregard for conventional motivation. We took the supposed security of a sequel as license to throw caution to the wind and headed for the darkest corners of Gotham.

"I never thought we’d do a third -- are there any great second sequels? But I kept wondering about the end of Bruce’s journey, and once David and I discovered it, I had to see it for myself. We had come back to what we had barely dared whisper about in those first days in my garage. We had been making a trilogy. I called everyone back together for another tour of Gotham. Four years later, it was still there. It even seemed a little cleaner, a little more polished. Wayne Manor had been rebuilt. Familiar faces were back -- a little older, a little wiser . . . but not all was as it seemed. Gotham was rotting away at its foundations. A new evil bubbling up from beneath. Bruce had thought Batman was not needed anymore, but Bruce was wrong, just as I had been wrong. The Batman had to come back. I suppose he always will."

Finally, MTV spoke with Anne Hathaway about her first time reading the script for "The Dark Knight Rises."

"I was in a room by myself reading a script. I think there was a guard outside," Hathaway told MTV. "A part of me was trying to stay professional, like, 'This is going to be your one chance to read it for many, many months, so really take it in.' And a part of me was like, 'Holy ****! This is so cool! Oh my God! I am the envy of so many million people right now.' I just could not believe my luck, so I had those two things going: keeping it cool and, pardon the pun, bat**** crazy."
 
Saw it yesterday, I really enjoyed it but it wasn't on TDK's level. My major beef with the film is the way they did Bane dirty at the end. He should NOT have died like that, we didn't get a reaction shot AND we got a joke from Catwoman on top... :smh:

True, but you're the only one that did say this though:

"Nolans batman films arent that smart."

Anyways, not beefing you with bruh. To each his own I guess.

Its even more so because people are trying to make more out of this film than what it really is. Looking TOO far into things coming up with theories and such when all they had to do in reality was pay attention to the details during the film.

Paying attention + a little common sense = you will get it in the end.
 
My only complaints about the movie were that we didn't get Bane's back-story at the end and the way that he died was kind of weak. Also the way Thalia died was ridiculous. Other than those things, I loved this film.
