The Dark Knight Rises (Official Third Nolan Batman Thread)

[Paul Kemp]

So who's the villain in this? Is it really cat woman? I'm sure it'll be a good film, but I'd be shocked if it outdid the Dark Night.

That shouldn't be too hard:

Trailer has leaked. Fair warning: it is a bootleg an the quality is awful. You may want to wait for the
official release.

This is the first blog I found where the video hadn't been ripped down already.

Doesn't exist anymore, huh?

I hope Bruce Wayne doesn't go all emo Peter in this one like SM3.

It's par for the course in the third comic book hero film for the hero to take a break for a little.

Let's remember that the line is probably taken out of context. He could be referring to Harvey.

That teaser they have circulating around is such a bore.

Have you seen the teaser for THE DARK KNIGHT? It's a logo and dialogue.

I still prefer Michelle Peiffier though by a mile, so maybe this can help make her performance well known again

I recall people saying the same thing about Jack Nicholson's Joker before TDK came out. That changed quickly after the release. Wait it out.

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.

It's a fictional team named the Gotham Rogues.

They're really trying to push this "Batman dies" theory eh?

[Paul Kemp]

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?

The worst part about that is that they had to give Hines Ward an appearance.

Ok back to the movie:

I'm still gathering my thoughts on it. Of course I loved it but there's a lot to think about.

I'm kinda disappointed they missed a perfect opportunity to use "Sometimes you just can't get rid of a bomb."

[Paul Kemp]

Btw, they are pulling advertisements for the movie off television.

Dumb.

[Paul Kemp]

So, will it be a flop for this?

uh No.

[Paul Kemp]

I think it's better than BEGINS but not as good as TDK. It clearly has it's own issues and problems but there's a lot of great stuff in it. I definitely have to see it again soon.

[Paul Kemp]

It's clearly meant to be a book-end with Begins, if you consider the tone and structure. TDK is much more a typical superhero film, so I think it's a bit unfair to compare BBor TDKR to TDK, since they are such different films.

Being that they're part of the same trilogy, I think it's OK to compare them.


I'd also argue that BEGINS was the most typical superhero movie of all of them.

[Paul Kemp]

I don't see it happening. I'm not even sure the movie will ever actually get made, which probably is for the better.
