Bane

Re: The Dark Knight Rises
 

Needs to be more lunchador, less Sub-Zero.

I'm more interested in that thing in the shadows. Is that an eye or a camera?

Re: The Dark Knight Rises
 

I think they've consolidated the venom delivery system with the mask which is why it looks less luchadory.

They were really thinking ahead when they were considering the blu-ray trilogy packaging.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises
 

I was thinking the same thing. Too bad I already own the first two on Blu-ray with the fancy pants packaging and whatnot.

The teaser is live

Not much, but so much

Re: The Dark Knight Rises
 

I really didn't think this was a very good teaser, mostly because you couldn't understand what Gary Oldman was saying. I had to put on headphones and listen to it on youtube.

First pic of Catwoman

no windscreen? Catwoman won't ever have to dine out, with all the insects she'll be projectile swallowing.

These are all the theaters showing the prologue

New Poster

Re: The Dark Knight Rises
 

Awesome poster. Going to see the prologue on thursday. I'm now wondering why it's called Rises if Bane is going to do what I think he's going to do to Batman. Can't wait for this flick.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises
 

Apparently all those who have already seen it couldn't understand Bane at all: http://www.bleedingcool.com/2011/12/...the-full-film/

Let us know how it was for you.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises
 

Going on Tues!

Free screening contest thingie.. for 6 minutes :lol:

Re: The Dark Knight Rises
 

Nolan says the movie takes place 8 years after TDK, but the prologue sounds like it takes place immediately after. Its possible Bane breaks Batman and it skips 8 years.

The trailer is finally up on Apple.com

God it looks good.

More football than Batman.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises
 

HINES WARD! YES!

I forgot they filmed this in Pittsburgh!

The final, chilling trailer is here!

Re: The Dark Knight Rises
 

Ah yes, I saw that yesterday. I never understand what the Batman hype is about... I liked Begins, but I almost fell asleep during TDK. This new thing... I just don't get it I guess.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises
 

He's still doing the voice I see.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises
 

I don't know why you keep going to see super hero movies then - you had the same complaint about Thor. Maybe the genre just isn't for you. :p

Re: The Dark Knight Rises
 

Yeah, I figured the third movie would have been when he dropped it. :P

Though it seems a lot more toned down than in TDK
Or maybe he isn't breathing heavy yet

Re: The Dark Knight Rises
 

Well, this movie takes place a number of years later right? Someone must have told him it sounds silly in all that time. I can never take him seriously as Batman. :(

Re: The Dark Knight Rises
 

I'm in the minority of people who like the voice. It serves many purposes - it disguises his real voice and makes him sound scary to the criminals he's beating up.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises
 

Sounds like he's perpetually out of breath. It's not even just the voice. His mouth looks weird as well. It's like the mask doesn't allow for enough movement. Ah well. One last movie and then we get a new Batman and I can find something different to complain about.

And I'm in the minority for this, but this series has been my least favorite interpretation of Batman. Plus my least favorite movies that Nolan has directed and Bale has starred in.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises
 

I like most super hero movies. I loved The Avengers as you can see in the other thread.
I just never read the comics (that's an American thing I guess). I have a hard time taking something like Captain America serious. And the whole Thor thing seems so farfetched.

With Batman it's something else. He's actually the hero I grew up with most (cartoons etc.). I think he's cool enough and I loved Batman Begins.
I just hated The Dark Knight. It was way too long, nothing happened and the story was all over the place. The only good thing was the villain... and now TDKR doesn't look too promising on that front.

I'll watch it eventually, but I won't have high expactations. I just don't get what's so good about these movies.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises
 

To each their own, I guess. Personally, I thought DKR was thematically terrifying and the first "important" comic book movie, as it was a metaphor for very real and modern concerns. Also, the way it was filmed was unique for a comic book movie to that point. It was filmed like a crime thriller, with realistic settings (Chicago). This made for a far more engaging story, IMO, because it felt real and not like a fantasy.

Juxtapose that with the original movie that felt like pure fantasy. I still think the original is a good movie, but it's striking how different two versions of the same universe can be, and how both versions can be extremely successful.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises
 

Looks epic; fuck the haters.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises
 

Proof it is possible to love the movie and hate the voice.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises
 

This. The themes it delved into and the gritty real feel of TDK are what set it apart for me. I love it. I must have seen it five times now, which is rare for me... except for mediocre movies that come on TV free over and over. Why do those snare me so often? Something about the cost.

I like the Voice... almost always. One exception is the one near the end of TDK with the Joker. One sentence, three long breaths. Then again Batman probably was out of breath.

Man, Kevin Smith is a consistently funny guy.
