12.21.11 | It wasn't as epic as it could have been, but I still think this will be a completely fucking amazing movie.
1. The trailer may have been light on plot, but I'mpretty sure that was intentional
2. I know that people are bitching about Anne Hathaway as catwoman, but remember when it was released that Ledger would be playing the Joker? Some people went apeshit, and we all know how that turned out.
3. Bane's voice really isn't all that unintelligible in the trailer (although it was at some parts of the prologue), and I really think that Nolan's minor sound mixing tweaks will easily make it understandable enough. |

12.21.11 | Stadium scene looks terrible and far too cheesy |
Foaming
12.21.11 | They fixed Bane's voice with overdubs that's why. And yeah, the stadium scene looked pretty silly. |
Rev
12.21.11 | The stadium scene is my favorite part of the trailer |
Ignimbrite
12.21.11 | I personally enjoyed it, but I really think that it will be awesome in the context of the movie w/ Bane and all that good stuff. |

The story is supposed to be secret |

12.21.11 | Is that Bruce Wayne's reflection in the covered dish, walking with a cane?! |

12.21.11 | 2. I know that people are bitching about Anne Hathaway as catwoman, but remember when it was released that Ledger would be playing the Joker? Some people went apeshit, and we all know how that turned out.
Agree with this, but I am in love with Ms. Hathaway. I can understand the concerns but this ain't a romantic comedy or something we've seen her do before, so the fears are a little worthless given that there's no comparison to be had |
Rev
12.21.11 | Fun fact: Anne Hathaway is an outspoken supporter of anal sex |
Deviant.
12.21.11 | Fun fact: google tells lies |
BassDemon333
12.21.11 | I'm extremely interested in seeing how Hathaway portrays Selina Kyle, this isnt the type of role she usually plays |
Rev
12.21.11 | I'm pretty sure I saw it in an interview somewhere, I dunno, I read it years ago |
Deviant.
12.21.11 | Nah, I saw the same thing once. It's all bullshit, but nice gullibility! |
Ignimbrite
12.21.11 | So I know that Bruce Wayne is supposed to have his back broken by Bane, but I've heard some speculation that it will happen soon after the events of TDK and that Nolan's whole 8 years later setting will be when Wayne is forced to recuperate or something. How true might this be? |
Deviant.
12.21.11 | Well, seeing as how that's probably Bane's biggest storyline in the bat universe I'd say more than likely |
Trebor.
12.21.11 | In the comics he gets his back snapped and then gets a Batchair and he gets a new guy to be batman for him |
BassDemon333
12.21.11 | Well Bruce is shown walking with a cane in the beginning of the trailer, so he might get his back broken in the film or prior to the film before he returns to being Batman again |
Deviant.
12.21.11 | Trebor: Isn't it like Nightwing or something? |
Rev
12.21.11 | They need to introduce a young Terry McGinnis |

@deviant i think nightwing is just robin after he grows up |
BassDemon333
12.21.11 | I'm glad Nolan chose not to bring Robin in his trilogy. He wouldnt fit in the darker tone of the films. |
Deviant.
12.21.11 | "i have no problems with hath as catwoman i just would have preferred no catwoman"
No no no, Eva Green as Catwoman
"@deviant i think nightwing is just robin after he grows up"
Ah right, my knowledge of batty outside of the movies is pretty limited |

Picked up on Goodwin. Who was the other one? Unless you're referring to Alpert reprising his role |
theacademy
12.21.11 | yea u got em |
Deviant.
12.21.11 | Didn't even notice Goodwin the first time. I just happened to switch it 1080p and it happened to pause right on him |
Ignimbrite
12.21.11 | I think Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character will be the new Batman after his back is broken/after he dies (which I think there is a good chance of) |
clercqie
12.21.11 | Yeah, probably... He's Nolan's new poster boy after all |
Ignimbrite
12.21.11 | Either way, this will be the last film with the same cast and director, so I think Nolan coul easily kill Bale's batman. |
KILL
12.21.11 | cool trailer
the nolan films are great but i still think the 89 batman was the best one |
Ignimbrite
12.21.11 | It may have been tied with or better than "Begins," but I still hold that TDK is the best of the series so far. Allah willing, "Rises" will be even better. |
Deviant.

12.21.11 | "returns rules but come on"
Original is just this weird movie where all the gangsters dress like it's the '30s but they're all running around while Prince does the soundtrack. And then there's the fact that they kill the Joker |

A thorn in my side? |
Deviant.
12.21.11 | Do thorns twitch? |
Ignimbrite
12.21.11 | I really think there is a solid chance that Bruce Wayne will die b/c he's more than a man he's a legend/idea/symbol/not being the hero etc.
Basically, I think killing Wayne would fit in Nolan's arc because the *idea* of Batman doesn't die with one man. also Joseph Gordon-Levitt |
geng
12.21.11 | I think Nolan will kill off Bruce Wayne. He won't kill Batman though, because the whole point of Batman is that he is an idea that can't be killed. |
geng
12.21.11 | I don't know about that, from the trailer it looks as though she's part of Bane's crew. |
Ignimbrite
12.21.11 | The above statement is false

geng
12.21.11 | There might be a love interest there with Wayne, but I think the trailer and the stills of her in the suit make it pretty clear she'll have an active part in the storyline with Bane as well. |
Deviant.
12.21.11 | That pic up there is Catwoman's "outfit" - Nolan decided to forgo the obvious fanboyism and did away with the more archetypal image of Catwoman. More functional than revealing |
geng
12.21.11 | Fair enough, just your comment made it look as though you though she was going to be just a love interest. I wonder what Marion Cotillard's role in the movie is going to be though... |

Ignimbrite
12.21.11 | I could've sworn that either Nolan or Cotillard said that she was not Talia. |
theacademy
12.21.11 | they both did |

12.21.11 | Well of course they're gonna deny it |
theacademy
12.21.11 | im slightly more excited for this than I am for Avengers, although i'm not sure which will be better...
Whedon is a much better writer than Nolan. like a billion times better.
But Avengers is a bigger challenge and could really easily end up a bummer. |
Ignimbrite
12.21.11 | yeah, this will be way better than The Avengers. |
Deviant.
12.21.11 | The biggest problem surrounding The Avengers is whether or not the movie will devote ample time to all its characters or if it will simply be the Robert Downey Jr. show |
MO
12.21.11 | ^ pretty much, I think it'll have to be closing in on the 3 hour mark to have any kind of good effect |

patrickfannon
12.21.11 | The football stadium shot looked so fucking lame. It reminded me of "The Sum of All Fears" with Morgan Freeman and Ben Affleck. The rest of the trailer looked incredible, but I still have my doubts about this film's ability to top "The Dark Knight." I think it is literally impossible to replace or top Ledger's performance as The Joker. Imagine what this would be like if The Joker was still in the mix... |
patrickfannon
12.21.11 | Also, what the fuck was with Selina Kyle going all Occupy Wall Street on Bruce Wayne while they were dancing? I really hope Nolan did not include any political allegories in this film. That would be terrible. |
BallsToTheWall
12.21.11 | Hines Ward cameo FTW. |
BallsToTheWall
12.21.11 | Tom Hardy is one of the few actors, in addition to Michale Fassbender that could match or surpass Ledger's villainous portrayal of the Joker. I have no doubt this will rule, maybe even rule more than Dark Knight. We'll see.
Val Kilmer was the best batman because he used to be the hottest man alive. (2,3,4,5,6) |
patrickfannon
12.21.11 | Perhaps, Balls, but I get the unshakable feeling from the trailer that "The Dark Knight Rises" is starting to push the limits of keeping the series grounded in the realm of possibility. I understand we are talking about Batman, and that his story is highly unlikey, but most of what we've seen thus far (barring Two-Face) has been at least theoretically feasible. Also, fuck Hines Ward and fuck the Steelers. E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES! Go Birds. |
BallsToTheWall
12.21.11 | The one part I didn't like was all the free prisoners hoisting guns, that was cheesy as fuck. |
patrickfannon
12.21.11 | The kid singing the national anthem in the beginning was pretty awful, too. The prisoners fist pumping, hoisting guns, and chanting something unintelligible--which, apparently, means "rise"--is bad, especially considering that scene follows Selena Kyle ranting about the woes of being a part of the 99%. Again, I hope Nolan is smarter than what that scene seems to imply. |
patrickfannon
12.21.11 | Still, Bane seems like an intensely badass villain, and Marion Cotillard and Anne Hathaway are vast improvements over Katie Holmes and Maggie Gyllenhaal. |
Divine
12.21.11 | Sources say that Cillian Murphy has been seen on set, on several different occasions....... |
patrickfannon
12.21.11 | Riff, no, but I did read Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns," which was excellent. Can you get the Knightfall collection outside of the individual comic books? |
Ignimbrite
12.21.11 | Ice to see you! |
patrickfannon
12.21.11 | I mean, can you buy a collection of comics, along the lines of a graphic novel, or is that storyline only available in the form of the original, seperate comic books? Also, what are you basing that assumption upon? Who would play Mr. Freeze and how could they keep it an absolute secret, as they must have if that is really the case? |

12.21.11 | considering the fact that Christopher Nolan has yet to make a truly bad movie, I'll remain optimistic. |

12.22.11 | Shutter Island started off fine, but once the whole "unreliable narrator" scenario began to take hold it just became painfully routine |
patrickfannon
12.22.11 | Yeah, that's dead on Dev. I actually liked the film when it started, but by the time they wound up in that lighthouse near the end, good 'ol Marty S had lost my suspension of disbelief and interest. |
