The Dark Knight Rises (Official Third Nolan Batman Thread)

[King]

Maybe I just saw Batman's cape and thought it was the kitty.

But I'm 99% certain this thing is going to end with Batman dying.  The only way for there to be a final conclusion.

[King]

Unless this is an early picture of her still mostly as Kyle, there's nothing about here costume that is particularly cat-like and this worthy of calling Catwoman.  In this series, Batman never calls himself batman.  The people of Gotham identify him as "the Batman" and it sticks.

There's nothing in this costume that makes me say "I just saw a catwoman go by!"

They're filming here in DaBurgh all month.....thanks for the local economy boost but I'm sick of seeing it every day in the news.

Did Chicago not have enough rotting industrial stockyards or something?

Ha ha, well they've been loitering mostly in the Oakland section where Pitt and Carnegie Mellon are......some downtown and less in the local neighborhoods.....

And the Steelers get a cameo?  WTF?

According to some Googling, there is a plot to attack Gotham's football team/stadium, which for some reason will be the Steelers and Heinz Field and not the Bears and Soldier.

[King]

Gotham Generals would have been a better name.

I hope they play Metropolis.

They can always re-dub his voice if it sounds too ridiculous in production.  Have faith that Nolan knows what he's doing.

Nolan used a deep pitch autotune to make Bale's Batman voice that ridiculous raspy deep in the last movie.  Perhaps Bane is going to have a deep version of what he was speaking in.

[King]

Bale's Batman voice stands as one the biggest failures of this series.

Nobody will ever match Kevin Conroy anyway though.

It was fine in Batman Begins.  The only time it really failed was when he was saying his final lines to the Joker on top of that building.  "You're gonna be in a bowl jello forever"

[King]

In strange rumor/news, the entire last scene of the film is going to be done in post production so nobody on set knows how it will end: http://www.movieweb.com/news/the-dark-knight-rises-ending-will-be-100-visual-effects

[King]

The shark has been jumped.  No one is safe.

[King]

Saw the trailer tonight. Sicckkk as fukkkk.  I think Nolan is gonna lay some pretty heavy political messages in this film for 2012. Wasn't he filming Occupy WS for some scenes?  Hathaway certainly deilvered some dialogue in the trailer that suggests it.

[King]

Oh and Bane sounds like dracula with a megaphone.

I like the second trailer better, but I think it was because the music in this one was weird and soft and mostly un-Batman.  The shots all look incredible.  It got better the second time I saw it.

[King]

There's something a bit dull about all the main characters dressing in black.  That's part of the charm the Joker brought to the last one, but I'll buy it.

[King]

The banter between Alfred and Bruce in those TV spots have boosted my hope for this movie.

New trailer:

Badass! I love the shot of Bane catching Batman's fist!

Four trailers? Why I never...

[King]

Alex Jones on Nolan's Batman series.

Needless to say, it's an illuminati conspiracy.

I like how he says he's got some leaked information about the movie but ends up just rambling about scenes from the trailers and then talking about Jaws for some reason.

[King]

Because four trailers wasn't enough.

[King]

What I'd really like to see in this film is a scene in which a football player is running towards the camera while the field collapses into its foundations behind him.  Anybody know if that's likely to happen at all?

lol there is no football in the Batman universe don't you even read the millions of comics omg stfu.

[King]

Patrick Leahy stole the perfect Adam West cameo in TDK.

[King]

It's pretty hilarious some of the fanboy ravage over the early negative reviews.  Marshall Fine apparently received death threats.  The review count is under 50, which means each negative vibe counts as 3% on the meter.  About as accurate as a Zogby poll.  The average rating is 8.7.  Far more important.  It means everyone that liked it loved it and everyone that didn't only thought it to be okay.

[King]

Had some time to read a few reviews.  I really think this film will become a favorite of the Atlas.  If not for just the positive reviews, but the Daily Mail's (lol) scathing opinion of how pretentious it was.

[King]

This film feels like something that will only get better with time. 

[King]

The strangest thing about this trilogy is that all three movies are incredibly different.  I think that's why TDKR has gotten a few more bad reviews.  TDKR isn't a crime drama.  It's... it really is an epic film.  This will be remembered as a true classic ten years from now.

I'm going to see it again in real IMAX on Wednesday.  I hope those scenes are good.

[King]

What's a semi convincing female?
