Please, more like.

Nolan: "Why is that guy dressed like Robin?"

Goyer: "He must think he's funny."

Nolan: "Is Hardy doing the whole method-acting bit for Bane still?"

Goyer: "I think so."

Nolan: "Good. Bane, kill him."

Hardy is a softie. I'm pretty sure I could take him.

Haha. It's just so 80's cheese sounding it's great. You can imagine if this were being made 25 years ago there would totally be a poster of a fucking terrible looking Bane (stunt guy wearing a huge Super Shredder style costume) with a raggedy looking cape and cowel in hand, with "Say Good Knight" written underneath. And today we'd be arguing over whether or not Nolan's Bane will be as good as Kane Hodders.

I'm afraid you're being a little too subtle with the joke here.

Question about the trailer: Who was on the hospital bed talking to Bruce?

Gordon? I couldn't really tell.

If I was Michael Keaton, I'd be popping a boner while doing every scene with her. Would be uncomfortable in that suit.

You didn't see TDK in IMAX!? D: Damn dude find some place for TDKR it's amazing. The screen is so fucking huge, like 6x a normal theater.
 
"Why do we fall, bruce? so we can learn to pick ourselves up!"

The more I think about it, the more I think this line will probably encapsulate the hole trilogy of these movies.

I wouldn't be surprised if this line is reused this time around.

Thank god someone else sees this. I feel like i'm insane some days because everyone seems to think she was just find in the movie.

The bigger issue is that the character of Rachel Dawes just sucks.
Click to expand...

That and while Katie is no great actress her performance in BB was no offensive. Maggie could have made up for her lack of looks by out performing Katie Holmes but her take of Rachel wasn't interesting either. She just came across as this rude ungrateful bitch towards Bruce where as in BB you could believe that Rachel was head over heels in love with Bruce. TDK takes place a few months to a year later and in that time she went from all out love to almost resentment towards Bruce. Just never bought it. Not sure if that was Nolan's fault but I really didn't care for her character at all in TDK.

Would Rachel Weisz be a better Rachel Dawes?

Am i being too crazy?
Click to expand...

Well duh. And even if she wasn't at least she would be pretty enough to not hurt the eyes. When Maggie was cast I thought ok it sucks Katie won't be back for continuity but at least they hired a far more capable actress. Her role really didn't lend to her acting skills or she dialed it in. Whatever the in the Batman movies at least Katie>Maggie.
 
Weisz was perfect in the Bloom Brothers, The Fountain etc.

She would have made the perfect Dawes and be prettier than both Kate and Maggie combined.
 
Ehh...I liked the last shot and the lead-up to it. But it could have done without the Gordon/hospital scene. Just felt out of place in this teaser and you could barely understand what he's saying for the first few lines.

Haha, fire.

I liked the Bats/Harv/Gordon scene myself, but I see where you're coming from.

Yeah last weekend there was a batman marathon on some channel and they played Batman Returns followed by Batman Begins. The difference in quality is astounding. Returns not only aged terribly but it's just a terrible movie that doesn't make much sense.
Click to expand...

It didn't age horribly...you just grew up. I thought it was a boring, nonsensical piece of shit twenty years ago. The original movie wasn't much better. Anyone that knows me know I've been saying that for years and was praying for Batman to be given cinematic justice. Thank you, Nolan.

And I'll reiterate that I hate his Batman character. So reckless sometimes to the point where it makes no sense.

He almost blew up two kids during the motorcycle scene in TDK.
Click to expand...

Batman tried to murder Joker for the SECOND time in a crowded street with his Batwing (and somehow missed). Probably the single most reckless scene in the history of Batman.

I'm sticking to what I said though...I do think Avengers, Spidey, Hobbit (and of course DKR) could all break the single day record. Spidey is the long shot since it's coming off the still piping fresh disaster known as Spider-Shit 3, but Avengers is going to be the first megaton release of next summer, and Hobbit will undoubtedly have much of December all to itself.

Much of this will depend on the reviews of course...Dark Knight's reviews were sizzling from jump, so that plus the buzz over Ledger always gave it a fair shot. I expect Hobbit will get rave reviews, though it probably won't have the performance buzz that Dark Knight had. AVengers is the wild card...if it was able to get anything close to what Ironman did, it will be BIG. For all intents and purposes, what's being attempted with Avengers has never been done before, being a psuedo-sequel to four seperate films. If it's able to pull things off, Marvel will be shitting green for years. While Ironman 2 was a mistep, Thor did a lot better than I thought it would, so despite the narrow odds I won't write it off.

But yeah, I do think DKR will strongly challenge whatever mark is set by then, and is probably the favourite. And I think being declared the final chapter of the Dark Knight trilogy helps make it an event. And Dark Knight did end on a "cliffhanger that wasn't really a cliffhanger but sorta is".

TDK will still be tops adjusted though, I'm pretty certain of that.

As a matter of fact...

THE COWL

Batman replaced the traditional helmet that accompanies the Nomax Suit with his distinctive cowl, which does more than simply add to his daunting appearance.

Batman's cowl is sculpted from an impact-resistant, graphite-composite exterior. There is also bullet-proof Kevlar plating that shields sections of Batman's head and protects it from small-arms fire. Bundled into the "ears" of the cowl are high-gain microphones and a radio antenna. The radio antenna allows Batman to monitor police and emergency-services radio frequencies so that he can always be "first on the scene."

The microphones in the ears are combined with special earpieces in the cowl that give Batman superior hearing in the field. The microphones can also be used to amplify Batman's voice and broadcast it through a discreet speaker in the suit. This is what gives Batman's voice that distinctive, disembodied and unearthly sound.

I think I remember reading that word for word in one of the Batman Begins books that came out at the same time as the movie. So er, yeah...don't hate Bruce, hate the mic.

I agree. It doesn't really get you hyped either. But it might be one of the few things that were ready to show and fit what they wanted to tease... i dunno

"The Dark Knight Rises" director Christopher Nolan and star Christian Bale praised Pittsburgh but offered few details about "Batman" as the film readied to begin three weeks of production in Pittsburgh Friday.

Bale said he was looking forward to the production "and fighting on your streets" as the Caped Crusader.

"We'll try to stay out of your hair as much as possible," said the Academy Award-winning actor who wore a slight beard, navy blue track suit and bright blue and white sneakers.
Nolan, who also co-wrote and produced the film, thanked the city and its residents for its welcome and its willingness to take some of the disruptions the filming would require.

"When you're making a large-scale action film that has to showcase the vitality and size of a large American city but also involves a certain amount of disruption to that city in order to make the action credible on screen" there needs to be a lot of cooperation from that city, Nolan said.

Nolan said he was drawn to Pittsburgh's architecture.

"It's a very beautiful city on a very impressive scale and that hasn't lost its human scale," Nolan said. "That is very impressive and very hard to find."

One of the few production details to leak out of the film, that fake snow will fly Downtown to simulate winter in Gotham City, was mentioned by Nolan.
"I hope you'll all feel a tiny bit cooler," he said.

Rachel Weisz should have been Catwoman. or Kate Beckinsale.

You know what Kate Beckinsale.

Nah. Already have one Kate Beckinsale in tight leather costume. Foolish to do another one. As for Rachel Weisz...I definitely see her as Selina Kyle, but Catwoman? Not so much. I think Anne Hathaway is a good choice, but we'll see.
