Titan50: The Dark Knight Rises

Titan50 08.01.11	List is digs, obviously
IrishJay91 08.01.11	nah. it'll be pretty good hopefully though.
taxidermist 08.01.11	It better top The Dark Knight.
PedalToTheMetal 08.01.11	i doubt itll top dark knight, heath ledger made dark knight what it was
TheArkitecht 08.01.11	"i doubt itll top dark knight, heath ledger made dark knight what it was" ^^this. I hate 2 so much, even more so because I have to hear it all on the radio again.
MO 08.01.11	Agree with pedal. It wont top the dark knight.
ffs 08.01.11	"the dark knight" is batman's nickname for his dick, discuss
defjaw83 08.01.11	I think it could top The Dark Knight. Chris Nolan just keeps improving so I think it could top it. The cast is world class too
Oinky 08.01.11	I know man. I'm stoked for it
Acanthus 08.01.11	Looking forward to the film a lot, though without The Joker I don't know if I'll laugh or quote this film as much. I'm interested in seeing how Bane turns out, not to mention the tension between Cat Woman and Batman.
randle 08.01.11	Inception sucked, The Joker made Dark Knight but actually Batman Begins was a better film overall. This won't be anywhere near the best movie ever, neither were the first 2 but I'm sure it'll be cool. Besides Tom Hardy is involved and he's a proper lad.
qwe3 08.01.11	will rule
BallsToTheWall 08.01.11	Mostly wrong Randle but you are right on Hardy. Tom Hardy is a beats and one of the only actors capable of replicating Leder's menace.
PedalToTheMetal 08.01.11	i found batman kinda annoying in dark knight, joker ftw... (and morgan freeman)
randle 08.01.11	what was so superb about inception? please somebody tell me
Satellite 08.01.11	not much
Acanthus 08.01.11	I enjoyed how Paprika did (relatively close) what Inception did years before, it's one hell of an animated film.
IrishJay91 08.01.11	"the chase scene in dk alone was more entertaining than all of begins" ... i disagree. Inception was neat. wouldn't call it superb, though.
Satellite 08.01.11	the acting in inception is pretty mediocre really
JWT155 08.01.11	I'm an extra in it next week.
omnipanzer 08.01.11	"The Dark Knight Rises" Based on the last two installments it's doubtful. "the acting in inception is pretty mediocre really" I thought it was fine but I'm not a huge fan either. Not sure what all the fuss was about really.
Titan50 08.01.11	"I enjoyed how Paprika did (relatively close) what Inception did years before, it's one hell of an animated film" Need to see that "what was so superb about inception? please somebody tell me" Along with the genuinely emotive storytelling and utterly stunning visuals, it brought a supreme ambition and complexity to a mainstream Michael Bay-fed audience that had not been seen in a long time. I am thankful for its success While it is arguable that The Joker was the best thing in The Dark Knight, I have faith in Christopher Nolan. He brings such ambition and talent that is incredibly hard for him to fall. Not to mention the film has a fantastic cast. Although I would have thought my deliberate hyperbole in calling it "the best movie ever" was obvious...
CrisStyles 08.01.11	Bane's costume is extremely underwhelming, in my opinion. Very excited to see the movie though.
Goatlord 08.01.11	Let's hope Anne Hathaway doesn't fuck it up.
BassDemon333 08.01.11	Movie will be severely lacking in the Jokers "magic tricks", but nonetheless I have faith it will still be great.
Acanthus 08.01.11	@Titan - you should, it's like Inception also in the fact that you find something new each time, though the ending is far less debatable
IrishJay91 08.01.11	Let's hope Anne Hathaway doesn't fuck it up. [2] it is annoying when summer-blockbuster-action type movies with any effort put into acting/writing/directing are hyped to shit just because Bay has set the bar so low.
Titan50 08.01.11	In all of Nolan's films, the casting is flawless. Therefore, I'm confident in Hathaway. I mean, he managed to flesh out the otherwise fairly inept role of Alfred simply by placing him in the hands of Michael shitting Caine
BallsToTheWall 08.01.11	Could be worse, some stupid supermodel who's never acted could have been casted. BRING IN GUY PEARCE
BallsToTheWall 08.01.11	Rosie Huntington Whitely was what I was aiming for. Im a sucker for brunettes,
IrishJay91 08.01.11	yea Nolan IS better than Bay, so he didn't do that. Pearce as Catwoman would be pretty epic.
Titan50 08.01.11	Dude, Pearce was great in Memento
LaughingMan 08.01.11	I'll explain what was so superb about Inception in two words: Ellen Page.
Paradiso 08.01.11	i'm eager to hear Christian Bale's grunt/squeal when Bane breaks his back
Scoot 08.01.11	It took Raimi three tries to fuck up Spiderman.
Titan50 08.01.11	Spiderman 3 wasn't nearly as bad as it was made out to be
Scoot 08.01.11	The dance scene disagrees.
Pyosisified 08.01.11	it has batmans most powerful enemy so yeah, this can easily turn out the be the best batman film ever
Scoot 08.01.11	Watching that physically hurts.
Titan50 08.01.11	I agree that scene's stupid as hell, mind
Pyosisified 08.01.11	http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgePjQ6a2mw
iFghtffyrdmns 08.01.11	except the filming of it is KILLING pittsburgh traffic right now, they've got a bunch of busy parts of main roads down there closed off for the filming and the traffic has been miserable because of it. fucking batman.
Pyosisified 08.01.11	stopped visiting batman-news coz theres a whole fuckload of spoilers on there atm. stupid fans filming everything they can
Scoot 08.01.11	"YOU WANT ME TO TRASH YOUR LIGHTS?!"
randle 08.01.11	"Along with the genuinely emotive storytelling and utterly stunning visuals, it brought a supreme ambition and complexity to a mainstream Michael Bay-fed audience that had not been seen in a long time. I am thankful for its success" ok first off the acting was mediocre, normally a fan of leo but he was meh in this film - bland 'typical' hollywood acting and secondly you get stunning visuals in a large number of films these days so no big deal really - also doesnt make a film. not sure how complex it was either, thought it was pretty simple actually. was a glorified action movie
Satellite 08.01.11	andcas you motherfucker worst scene in movie history
MaskAtTheMasquerade 08.01.11	Dude, Pearce was great in Memento [2] Also very excited about the movie. It will definitely be tough to top TDK but as previously mentioned, I think Nolan has the potential to do it. And since Bay was brought up, I think he's fine as far as popcorn flick directors go. I'd say at the least bit I'm entertained by his stuff and I actually loved The Island (mainly cause of SJ) but that was a cool film and the product placement was so outrageous it made me laugh.
IrishJay91 08.01.11	'popcorn flick' i hate this term and the associated movies with a passion. Bay is very good at making those though, I agree with that.
UnnamedOcean 08.01.11	I'm guessing that it will be a very good movie, but I doubt it will be as memorable as The Dark Knight was.
Pyosisified 08.01.11	stop jizzing over TDK this will be better than Batman&Robin and Daredevil combined
omnipanzer 08.01.11	"i'd march down there to complain since I hear bale is understanding on set." lol "it has batmans most powerful enemy so yeah, this can easily turn out the be the best batman film ever" This is not his most powerful enemy except by brute strength. In that he's infamous for breaking his spine and that's it. As the history of the series goes he's barely important at all.
Titan50 08.01.11	"ok first off the acting was mediocre, normally a fan of leo but he was meh in this film - bland 'typical' hollywood acting and secondly you get stunning visuals in a large number of films these days so no big deal really - also doesnt make a film. not sure how complex it was either, thought it was pretty simple actually. was a glorified action movie" There's great Transformers visuals, then there's stunning visuals like in Inception, that are ambitious, jaw-dropping and imaginative. Style and look is an important part in movies. I use the likes of Pan's Labyrinth and Spirited Away as examples. " This is not his most powerful enemy except by brute strength. In that he's infamous for breaking his spine and that's it. As the history of the series goes he's barely important at all." He's talking of Catwoman
twlight 08.01.11	the fact that it has Marion Cotillard in it makes it better than The Dark Night. she's so hawt
Pyosisified 08.01.11	"This is not his most powerful enemy except by brute strength. In that he's infamous for breaking his spine and that's it. As the history of the series goes he's barely important at all." lol you sure know your batman
omnipanzer 08.01.11	"He's talking of Catwoman" Not her either, his most powerful enemy has always been The Joker for his constant attempt at higher and higher body counts. The constant internal struggle for Batman is his unwillingness to kill but he could have saved the largest amount of people by killing the joker long ago.
omnipanzer 08.01.11	"lol you sure know your batman" It's a hobby ;^)
randle 08.01.11	you clearly don't know batman as bane is both the strongest and the most intelligent of all his enemies and is a hugely important figure in the story arcs
defjaw83 08.01.11	I can't help thinking that when people didn't like Inception, they didn't quite get it. And I know, I hate it when people say that too, but seriously I still love discussing the film and getting other people's points of view on it. I can't remember any other film having so many different interpretations of it. It's in my top 10 ever for sure
NOTINTHEFACE 08.01.11	Anyone who says Inception was less than great is a complete faggot. I too have faith in Christopher Nolan. I'm not sure if this will top the first two movies but if it's at least as good I'll be satisfied. Honestly I'm more excited to see what sort of original IP he comes up with next, since those are his best works IMO (inception, Memento, The Prestige).
omnipanzer 08.01.11	@ Randal - I do not read comics religiously anymore however I do try to hit the major story arcs as I can and as of yet I've only ever read one with him in it. While that particular story arc was good and established Bane as a worthy adversary he has been nowhere near as important or impressive since. Oh and I will remind you that that was in 199 FUCKING 3. "most intelligent of all his enemies" Wong... plain fucking wrong. But feel free to try and dig up some evidence to support your statement. I by no means do not feel I am all knowing about the DC multi-verse but I did review the character real quick and I'm pretty confident that I'm dead right here.
omnipanzer 08.01.11	"I can't help thinking that when people didn't like Inception, they didn't quite get it." I might have been really drunk and you may be right but gtfo.
newjunkaesthetic93 08.01.11	it'll suck
acorncheese 08.01.11	"The Joker made Dark Knight but actually Batman Begins was a better film overall" lol
foreverendeared 08.01.11	Batman Begins was definitely a better film.
Urinetrouble 08.01.11	bane was the best choice for the villain though i did want the riddler. hope he does break bats backs
randle 08.01.11	do some fucking background research on bane - he's very intelligent - maybe you base your knowledge of bane on that shit 90s film. inception is not 'hard to get' - there are just a lot of morons who think that it;s a complex film that they were intelligent enough to get some kind of grasp on
acorncheese 08.01.11	it is a complex film
MisterTornado 08.01.11	Best ever? Bullshit.
randle 08.01.11	depends on your perception of complex i guess?
defjaw83 08.01.11	It's complex in the sense that there are many interpretations of the movie, none are right or wrong. It's really open ended and people will be debating over it forever, but maybe you have all the answers.
foreverendeared 08.01.11	I do because if you go by the wedding band interpretation there's nothing open ended about it.
qwe3 08.01.11	inception sucks becuz some people think it was complex and i dont!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wabbit 08.01.11	qwe should write a book.
Trebor. 08.02.11	Inception only has one interpretation
Ovrot 08.02.11	TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Vesper 08.02.11	A whole year of speculation ahead, lovely...
AngelofDeath 08.02.11	That's not as bad as Victor Zsasz only getting a cameo in Batman Begins.
omnipanzer 08.02.11	"do some fucking background research on bane - he's very intelligent - maybe you base your knowledge of baneon that shit 90s film" Okay you dense twat... you said "you clearly don't know batman as bane is both the strongest and the most intelligent of all his enemies" which I'm telling you is fucking wrong. He's intelligent but not. "the most intelligent of all his enemies" And since hit big story arch he's turned into an unimportant pussy and gets brought back like once every two years to say hi. Inception isn't hard to get... at all...
qwe3 08.03.11	i thought bane was the most intelligent of his enemies i mean hes so intelligent his mind cant even be read also just becuz inception wasnt hard to get doesnt make it a bad film though
rockandmetaljunkie 08.03.11	If it is better than TDK it will surprise me. I don't think it will be.
randle 08.03.11	Bane is one of the most intelligent Batman villains I don't know why this is being mocked. He figured out Batman was Bruce Wayne etc and one of the characters (can't remember who - might have been ra's al ghul), said Bane's mind was the equal to the greatest he'd ever known. As for Inception - it's not a bad movie because it's easy to get. I just have a grip with the fact that because a lot of people struggled to understand it they saw it as some work of genius. Conceptually it's great and yeah some of the visuals are stunning. It doesn't make up for the fact that it's so fucking anal. It's too structured, way too organized. The different levels of dreams are basically excuses for shitty 90's style action movies that are going on simultaneously - especially the frozen landscape with the skiing bit. The characters are boring, there's no emotional investment in any of them and the acting is bog standard and mediocre. I like Leo, I like Tom Hardy, I like Joseph Gordon-Levitt but there wasn't really anything for them to go on and it was standard Hollywood stuff. Then there's the dialogue which is mainly made up of cheesy lines and quick fire explanations - everything seems to have to be explained like a hundred times but there's no real humanity in it. Essentially the film is overblown tripe but Chris Nolan is untouchable right now it seems. The Dark Knight is vastly overrated too, don't get me wrong I like the movie - but there are still so many lol moments that you shouldn't really be 'lol-ing' at. I seem to find with Nolan films that the actors don't really need to act - there's very rarely any real emotional value in it, and most of the acting is a backfrop to the visuals and overly contrived action sequences.
defjaw83 08.03.11	Man, people aren't understanding the point about inception. It's pretty easy to follow and understand, but somebody else will have a totally different take on it. That's the genius is that it can work on many levels, not one is right or wrong. The film in itself is an inception
PayneTiger777 08.03.11	I was just watching The Dark Knight yesterday for the 6th time. The only thing I didn't like about it was the ending when Batman was running away. It's still in my top 10 of favorite movies of all time. I'm def looking forward to seeing Bane. Tom Hardy going back to his Bronson days.
defjaw83 08.03.11	I loved the ending when he becomes the villain. Think that was done really well. The one thing that grates on me a bit is batman's voice
randle 08.03.11	you're missing the point about the bad acting, the terrible dialogue, how flat the whole thing is and the complete lack of human relate-ability
defjaw83 08.03.11	No
BassDemon333 08.05.11	http://batman-news.com/2011/08/05/first-official-photo-of-anne-hathaway-as-catwoman-in-the-dark-knight-rises/ First official photo of Anne Hathaway as Catwoman
BallsToTheWall 08.05.11	Tom Hardy going back to his Bronson days. This
Hyperion1001 08.05.11	Anne Hathaway doesn't seem like a very good choice for catwoman....
omnipanzer 08.05.11	Thanks Bass, the trailer looks good too.
Parallels 08.05.11	they should have Mark Hamill do the joker again, live this time.
Deviant. 08.05.11	"Anne Hathaway doesn't seem like a very good choice for catwoman...." She's a perfect choice for Selina Kyle. And just because you've never seen her handle this kind've of role before doesn't mean she's not capable
omnipanzer 08.05.11	Whoa... you seem to feel VERY strongly about that Dev. ;^)
Deviant. 08.05.11	"The Dark Knight is vastly overrated too, don't get me wrong I like the movie - but there are still so many lol moments that you shouldn't really be 'lol-ing' at.

" I seem to recall a great deal of bombs going off and shootouts occuring in Memento, Following & The Prestige
omnipanzer 08.05.11	The Prestige > the rest.
BassDemon333 08.05.11	The Dark Knight isnt overrated its easily one of the best superhero films of all time I mean come on.
omnipanzer 08.05.11	"easily one of the best superhero films of all" I have been let down so many times The original Tim Burton is better. Nicholson + Keaton = one of the best pair ups in Movie history. That being said The Dark Knight is a good superhero movie imo. I wish Titan would fix the page...
JWT155 08.05.11	Pittsburgh is currently a fucking nightmare to navigate now because of the filming for this
omnipanzer 08.05.11	I thought ledger was good I'm not taking anything away from his performance. I like Nicholson better, it was Nicholson being Nicholson without a leash. Nicholson by himself, standing in the middle of L.A. buying a sandwich can be scarier than Ledger any day. Realistically though that's just because Jack Nicholson is a fucking maniac. Ledger didn't have a better take on the character just a different one and I can appreciate that. I like Nicholson and that's The Joker I'm going with.
omnipanzer 08.05.11	"Pittsburgh is currently a fucking nightmare to navigate now because of the filming for this" On top of the fact that Pittsburgh is typically a fucking nightmare to navigate.
JWT155 08.05.11	Agreed. Glad I grew up here because it makes driving anywhere else a walk in the park. I'll be an extra filming a scene at Heinz Field tmw for this.
