In all seriousness, the imagery doesn't work there. Rise? He didn't "fall", and there isn't anything upcoming about the character to suggest a revitalisation. I don't the title should be similar to its predecessor. Anything with the 'Dark Knight' would have been terrible by default. "Rising" is just :lol

Nolan had better let another one of his actors 'accidentally' overdose if he wants to see a TDK-level gross again.Solo said:The worst part of this title is how thinly vieled the attempt to cash in on TDK is. BB and TDK are sequels but they have distinctly different titles, like Batman 3 should have had. But TDK makes $500M, so WB decides Batman 3 needs to also have The Dark Knight in its title.

Indeed. I cannot wait for DM to endure his Spider-Man 3 :lol

He kills the pretty ones. :'(Solo said:Word on the street is he got Tom Hardy into smoking rocks on the set of Inception. The seeds have been planted.

Solo said:The Caped Crusader or one of a million other Batman titles
brandonh83 said:No one is trashing the film. But the title is extremely generic. Batman Begins and The Dark Knight were two titles that fit together very well and were different from one another. This didn't need "The Dark Knight" in the title to sell-- the fact that it's a follow up to TDK is plenty.
Penguin said:See, I would avoid naming it that. I like the Caped Crusader title, but what they gonna have Gordon explain that at the end. "No he's not just a man, he isn't even just the Dark Knight, he is a mysterious man who fights the good fight. He fights when no one else can or will. He is a crusader.. with a cape... he is The Caped Crusader"
Solo said:Im sorry, but for all the fellating many Gaffers give Nolan for being given free reign by WB to make his movies, this feels decidedly like a studio call.
joke post?Scullibundo said:It will be very interesting to see if Cameron uses AVATAR in the title of his sequel.
I really think the title should begin with Batman now.Zzoram said:I understand why it has this title (to keep brand recognition) but it's a lousy title.
Batman Begins -> The Dark Knight -> The Dark Knight Rises?
It should've been more different.
Ninja Scooter said:Let's be real you would have complained no matter what the title was. That's what people on the Internet do, especially with anything comic book or movie related.

brandonh83 said:Batman Begins
The Dark Knight
Breaking Dawn
see was that so hard?
Nolan could make it worksoul creator said:damn, was looking forward to Eddie Murphy too
Tence said:You do realise most of them are jokes right?
forgot about that, and i even read it :lolNinja Scooter said:Dark Knight Returns is already an established title of a very specific, very well known Batman story. They aren't gonna use that.
suaveric said:Well, he did "fall" in the public's eyes. But I would have preferred Redemption instead of Rising, if that's the angle they're going for.
jett said:I see several being serious about the "Caped Crusader". I have to say, I lol'd.
