Actually, even the full-strength Batman got beaten up quite badly by Bane, he was not having any upper hand in that fight until he started attacking Bane's mask. Watched the film yesterday btw, I was promptly amazed. I knew before going in that there is this state of mind called "suspension of disbelief", and I am gonna need it - but it worked wonders. This is how one looks a superhero movie, so... great movie. I would rate the trilogy like this: Batman Begins > Dark Knight Rises > Dark Knight (because a few Joker speeches cannot save an entire movie, imho.)

Odd that TDK-dissenters always mention that Joker was the only redeeming factor in TDK, when the best scene in the movie, hell, the entire trilogy, doesn't include the Joker at all.

[shagg_187]

Why so analytical?

I'll explain it in a language that's simpler.

Bane: Do you feel in charge?
Shira: I made the spoiler thread.
Bane: And this gives you power over a mod?

With that said, it doesn't effect me so I'll stop being "analytical", as long as there is a place to discuss or bash or praise the movie. You know, the reason this OT exists.

Watching that scene again in theaters before Rises was still as tense as ever.

Not for me. The scene in the interrogation room always has me riveted more. That linked scene is tense and pretty great as well, though.

Someone mentioned a while back that there wasn't a proper, cool looking gliding sequence in this one, and I'm in the same boat of wanting something like that.

[B_Rik_Schitthaus]

I'd rather this then how little it came across in the film.

Look what people can pull off live in front of crowds.

For such a BIG character it's pretty tame stuff IMO. The climax in DK did nothing for me, i felt nothing when Rachel died. The Joker was a menace to Batman but never felt like a menace to Gotham to me, his plan was also pretty lame. Also joker didn't turn Batman into a villain, Bruce did.

And what exactly did Bane accomplish that was so groundbreaking when compared to Joker? All of his plans felt so weightless in the end. He broke Batmans back but he was pretty much back to normal in a few months and his situation in the pit never really felt that dire. When he took over Gotham, it didn't really change all that much. In fact it looked beautiful with all the pristine snow. It was at it's most vibrant actually. Yea he hung a few people but I never really saw the effect it had on the common man so that situation was never really a big deal. And then you have the ticking time bomb. I knew for a fact that they weren't going to blow up Gotham so that entire storyline was weightless to me. It fell into Avengers/X3 territory where instead of wondering whether or not the villain was going to succeed, I was waiting for him to fail. This isn't a bad thing necessarily but it removed all tension from the film. I didn't care. In both Begins and TDK, I at least felt like the villains could succeed because their plans weren't so outlandish that you KNEW they couldn't succeed. Look at what the Joker did to Harvey. Look at what he forced Batman to do in the end. These are actions that had actual affects on the narrative and on those characters. Bane was just an asshole causing minor setbacks.

Not sure why it mattered whether or not you felt anything when Rachel died. That wasn't the argument. The argument was that many of the Jokers actions were felt well into this film which is just fact.

That was my problem with Bane as a whole really. I didn't care about his character because nothing he did mattered all that much. It could very well be Nolans fault for how he decided to present these things but the little victories he had never seemed to really matter all that much. Take the back breaking for instance. In Knightfall, that BROKE Bruce. So much that he had to find a replacement. In this story, he was out of commission for a few months in what seemed like a novelty hotel with a fun climbing game. Again, Nolans fault. He should've done a better job of depicting why these situations were so horrible.

The Batbow.

[Loxley]

Finally got around to seeing it, holy fuck did it live up to my expectations. I've been avoiding this thread for the last two weeks and pretty much any outlet that could have potentially spoiled the film. I didn't read reviews or even glance at the RT score.

I don't know if there's a general consensus around here for it - although given GAF's astounding hatred for TDK and Nolan I can make some guesses -, but I felt like it was the perfect bookend to Nolan's trilogy. There's still some stuff I'm not quite clear on (like the entire concept behind that prison...I still don't quite get it). But I loved all of the call-backs to Batman Begins, in fact I'd say this was a better sequel to BB than TDK was.

I'm not sure if I liked it more than TDK, I'd have to watch them back-to-back in order to really form on opinion in that regard. But my initial reactions are extremely positive, I left extremely satisfied.

Also, did Bane sound German at some points to anyone else? Might just be me.

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

The Batbow.

Googling has cost you your strength. Mocking defeats you.

[Tugatrix]

I think is a recurve bow, i didn't pay attention to it.

Give this man the $10,000. Quoting myself from the t'other thread:

so in retrospect, everyones favourite moment from the series? "You thought we could be decent men in an indecent time" The mood, the unbelievable score, the lighting, the hopeless sense of dread. Everything so perfectly surmised the loftier ideas in the comic in this one scene. And Eckart was the unsung hero of TDK

More people need to post their favourite moment you bastards

The climb out. The whole sequence is phenomenal:



"When the trigger is in my hand, then you have my permission to die." The fight leading up to that was awesome, when Batman showed up and proceeded to kick ass.

The ending sequence of The Dark Knight with Harvey, that you posted. I love that scene. It was so tense.

Bruce and Ra's' conversation before Wayne Manor burns down.

The Joker's introduction. The interrogation room and subsequent aftermath.

The Scarecrow dosing Batman and then Batman returning the favour.

Just about any scene with Selina in it.

The Commissioner's Funeral.

Batman dragging Lau on the floor in Hong Kong and then escaping. So funny.

"I never thanked you." "And you'll never have to."

"You're in for a show tonight, son!" - subsequent chase and escape.

Bane's speech in the prison.

[flippymittens]

You'll just have to imagine the fire... I liked this movie more than The Dark Knight and Batman Begin.

Honestly I was shocked at how good it was.

[Revenant]

If we are talking favorite scenes, Bruce's training sequence in BB is basically a liam neeson soundboard.



Death does not wait for you to be ready!

[Maxrunner]

Just saw it yesterday, i liked it quite a lot, but the ending is confusing....he's he dead?

That's probably why Bruce thought Bane was Ra's's's's's son. Both of those guys had epic lines every 5 secs.

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

He ejected or something, at the end he was with Catwoman eating and Alfred looked at them like he wanted to at the beginning.

You're a gentleman and a scholar. Excellent choices

[Frenchie]

Seems but he doesn't.

[MisterHero]

The best part of the series is when Batman gasses Crane and he sees a Demon Batman.

The psychological terror from TDK and Rises was great and worth three movies, but I really did expect crazier things to happen.

[HoodWinked]

Just saw it yesterday, i liked it quite a lot, but the ending is confusing....he's he dead?

basically Bruce finally shedding himself from batman, at wayne tech morgan freeman and some other technicians were examining another BAT flying vehicle and noticed that the auto-pilot was completed, indicating that bruce had completed it and he must have used that to escape from the bomb explosion.

just so that there arent any questions micheal cain even sees him at the cafe with catwoman by side.

From BB:

When Afred save Bruce and ask him why do we fall. That scene is beautiful.

From TDK:

That end scene with Harvey, goddamn is just intense and unpredictable(first time is seen)

From TDKR:

Bruce rising from the pit, is just so full of meaning for the hole saga, the music and the shooting, just perfect

Alfred sees him and Selina. That's about it.


Of course it isn't a dream, this isn't Inception.

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

The entire series is really about Bruce Wayne more than it is about Batman. He wanted to create an everlasting symbol that would inspire the people to fight corruption and injustice. But really, he never wanted to stay Batman forever. The series is about him moving past his guilt and rage and whether he is capable of having a normal life, a happy ending, or not.

TDKR finally answers the question, whether he wants to live happily or whether he wants to martyr himself for this cause. All his past traumas are finally behind him as he allows "Bruce Wayne, Prince of Gotham" to die and allows Blake to take on the persona of Batman, cause... there's gotta be a Batman. But Bruce Wayne, the man, finally gets his happy ending and the ability to move on from all the dark stuff in his past. Him at the end is granting Alfred his greatest wish, so Alfred can see that he is happy and content.
