[QUOTE=darcy010;37166798]And after the monorail in Begins was destroyed, the city began fighting organised crime, resulting in less poor people so less of a need for such an extensive public transport system. Also it was funded by the Wayne foundation, and Bruce was pretty busy rebuilding his house.
I always wondered what happened to the slums though, the city was a lot less surreal in the two latest movies.[/QUOTE]
The narrows were turned into a huge asylum iirc, like in arkham city
it's expanded upon in batman: gotham knight, which was supposed to bridge Begins and TDK, i don't know if it's considered a part of the film universe though
So fucking annoyed. Some dickhead posted a Sensationalist Headlines topic that spoiled the movie. I watched the Batman Begins and The Dark Knight and I'm really pissed off because I feel like the plot twist is ruined. I hate twats that spoil movies on purpose.
It was such a low thing to do, because in Sensationalist Headlines, I usually open about 20 threads and read through them one by one, and when I got to this one, I was in News-mode so I read it and then realized what it was.
Wish I could erase my memory but I keep remembering it.

I watched the two previous movies in preparation for watching The Dark Knight Rises. I haven't seen it yet, and was so looking forward to it. Ah well.

Before today, I had only seen the Christopher Nolan Batman movies in passing (Oh, you're watching batman, have fun) and never got around to watching them. So I grabbed a friend who had also not seen them and watched the first two on my computer and drove over to the theater at 10:20 to see The Dark Knight Rises.
Holy fuck, I didn't expect it to be three hours but it was worth it.
I have a feeling there will be a 4th movie.
[QUOTE=Thugaim;37188572]I have a feeling there will be a 4th movie.[/QUOTE]
Well unfortunately (not really) facts beat feelings. Nolan said he's not doing another Batman movie after this.
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;37189885]Even though he should definitely not make a fourth one, I think that he could pull off a [sp] Nightwing [/sp] movie if he really wanted to.[/QUOTE]
Probably but I'd rather the whole thing got dropped here.

there's supposed to be a reboot in 2014 to start up a justice league series.
i can't see them doing anything outside just bats and supes and then justice league, no way they're doing all the individual characters.

I wish them luck, thanks to shit like The Big Bang Theory, characters like Aquaman are considered utter jokes, when they're actully pretty cool in the actual comics.
Seriously, Marvel's biggest risk is gonna be Ant-Man, DC has to make average moviegoers take characters like Aquaman and Hawkman seriously.
Marvel caught lighting in a bottle with Avengers and how well that worked out, I really hope DC gets just as lucky, since a well-done JLA series of films could be equally incredible.
[QUOTE=Derposaurus;37161165]So wait, two questions after watching this movie:
1. [sp]Did Bruce Wayne die? Because I though for some reason that maybe it was just in Alfred's mind that it had happened.[/sp]
2. [sp]What happened to Bayne? Did he just kinda walk out of Gotham or was there a part I missed?[/sp][/QUOTE]
1.[sp]No, selina kyle was there, he escaped the batman mantle, and left it for robin[/sp]
2.[sp]he's dead, he got fucking shot with the bat pod[/sp]

I always thought Hawkgirl was more respectable than Hawkman. Probably because the animated Justice League made her a badass and him an otherkin stalker.

Fuck anyone who hates Aquaman.

Aquaman is genuinely a fuckin great superhero lol. He's basically invincible, super strong, bulletproof, can controls all sealife, can breathe underwater (and with the aid of Batman's suit made for him he can stay out of water indefinitely) and swim ridiculously fast (like faster than a bullet) and when he loses his hand he gets a harpoon hand, which is then replaced with a magic hand made of water which can drain water from anything, killing them, it can heal things by contact and fire boiling water, he can change its shape too.
He's actually a pretty dark character as well. Genuinely annoys me that everyone thinks he's just some gay as fuck useless fish-man :v: He's one of the most powerful members of the Justice League!
A superhero is only as powerful as his/her writer

Too-strong superheroes are worse than useless ones imo.

Yeah, but so's everyone except Cyborg.
Supes is hardly perfect. His pride, compassion, self-esteem and sense of guardianship over humanity is regularly exploited as a greater weakness than that of kryptonite
Exactly what Rong said. Kryptonite isn't the biggest weakest of Superman. That's why Batman > Superman in terms of power.

[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;37196822]For example, Superman. I fucking [B]hate[/B] Superman.
Why? Because he's too perfect. You know that he's going to save the day, no matter what gets in front of him to block his path. He's boring.
With Batman, you don't know if he'll succeed because he's flawed, which makes him more interesting.[/QUOTE]
Too bad the majority of the internet would rather believe that Batman is an invincible badass who is not flawed at all and just needs a day of preparation to do literally anything.
"he can do anything CUZ HES THE GODDAMN BATMAN HURR"
this movie was even better the second time watching it
i saw this today
someone took all my words because i don't have any to describe what i saw
Saw this a second time yesterday, with some friends who hadn't seen it yet.
I went in expecting to realize flaws and be disappointed, but i actually enjoyed it more.
It was nice understanding things from the beginning.

I don't hate Superman, but I like him less than more vulnerable heroes like Batman and Spider-Man (Marvel, I know, but it still stands)

I like what I heard about the New 52 Aquaman.
Apparently, this happens in the first issue:
There's some robbers fleeing from the cops, when suddenly Aquaman.
The cops and robbers are all, "what the fuck is Aquaman doing here? There's no water or anything..."
So Aquaman just stabs the getaway car with his fork and flips it, nods to the cops, and off he goes.
So he goes to a seafood resturant for lunch, and everyone's just staring at him.
Eventually he gets sick of it and just goes "what? what is it?"
And this one guy's like, "well... you're eating fish... don't you talk to them?"
And Aquaman goes, "I don't TALK to fish, I COMMAND THEM WITH MY MIND. GOD."
And the guy goes, "So what's it like being Aquaman? I mean, you're NO ONE'S favorite hero, you're a joke."
And Aquaman just gets up and leaves.
Fucking gold.
