The Dark Knight Rises - By Christopher Nolan. ->Use spoiler tags<- - General

[QUOTE=psychomidget;30114943]From the title I sorta get an implication that he's gonna get beat down, then 'rise' back up[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure he's already at his lowest point. Dent is dead, Rachel is dead, he's a fugitive. This movie should be about how he comes back from that.

[QUOTE=thrawn2787;30139558]I hate to say this but they might be packing in too many characters into this new film. It seems like if they're all "major" than a lot of these "major" characters won't be getting enough screen time (Venom anyone?). And it could introduce the audience to too much silliness at once.[/QUOTE] You do realise they have about the same number of characters as they had in The Dark Knight?

[QUOTE=GodKing;30140520]I'm pretty sure he's already at his lowest point. Dent is dead, Rachel is dead, he's a fugitive. This movie should be about how he comes back from that.[/QUOTE] Title also kinda points at that anyway, should be obvious.

Oh cool, they cast Joker in this as well.

[QUOTE=postal;30146616]Oh cool, they cast Joker in this as well.[/QUOTE] Wait, what?! Source?!

[QUOTE=Pretiacruento;30148195]Wait, what?! Source?![/QUOTE] Yeah, Matthew Modine, perhaps best known for playing Pvt. Joker in Full Metal Jacket, joined the cast as 'Nixon'. oh did you think I meant something else? [b]haaaaaaaaaaaa[/b] [editline]30th May 2011[/editline] ...ha

Oh goddamnit man.

[QUOTE=Dr Bob;30140919]You do realise they have about the same number of characters as they had in The Dark Knight?[/QUOTE] And in Batman Begins. BB had Ra's Al Ghul and Scarecrow

[QUOTE=Dr.C;30160769]And in Batman Begins. BB had Ra's Al Ghul and Scarecrow[/QUOTE] And the mob boss guy, even if he wasn't on the screen for as long as the others. Also yeah we don't know how big a part any of these characters are going to play. Way too soon to make any sort of assumptions about how so many characters will work (not that it makes much sense to question it since Nolan has already proved he can handle himself).

I'd kind of like to see the Black Mask appear as the head of the mob

But, I think it's better to only have two central villains in a movie... and I'm pretty sure Catwoman and Bane are the main ones... Three would be too much.

Better yet, make the movie 10 hours long and throw in a few more villains

[QUOTE=Dr.C;30172760]Better yet, make the movie 10 hours long and throw in a few more villains[/QUOTE] Fuck that I'd watch it.

Is it bad that I have seen the Dark Knight, and loved it, but not Begins?

[QUOTE=niger;30178860]Is it bad that I have seen the Dark Knight, and loved it, but not Begins?[/QUOTE] I loved the Dark Knight, but found Batman Begins to be dreadfully boring. Should probably give it another go.

batman begins is fantastic. it's no dark knight but then again what is?

I like begins MORE.

[QUOTE=Chrille;30183332]Aw man, I was getting my hopes up :frown:[/QUOTE] Apparently someone from another forum posed as a WB Employee and got the account owner to admit it wasn't real. At least I'm pretty sure about the WB employee bit, only seen one person say that so far and i cba to verify. Either way, admitted fake. Don't bother with it, someone is just really bored.

[url]http://batman-news.com/2011/06/01/the-dark-knight-rises-prop-to-be-revealed-at-2011s-licensing-international-expo/[/url] The Dark Knight Rises is going to be making an appearance at the Licensing International Expo ("a trade show for leveraging properties and brand equity to develop merchandise.")June 14-16th. Why care? The Dark Knight revealed the batpod at the Licensing International Expo for 2007, so people are hoping for some sort of reveal at this one as well.

[QUOTE=Spaztastik;30115292]What people think is that Bane is just this massive juggernaut. What they dont understand is that he is a fucking genius. During the Venom saga, he fucked around with Batmans head and is crazy smart in his tactics. Add tom hardy as a devilishly smart and buff bane and you have a perfect match :D[/QUOTE] most people's perception of bane (including mine, sadly) is drawn form his depiction in Batman and Robin, aka a mexican wrestler with brain damage

I preferred Begins to TDK, but we'll see where this goes, there's certainly plenty of talent.

[QUOTE=Generic.Monk;30202502]most people's perception of bane (including mine, sadly) is drawn form his depiction in Batman and Robin, aka a mexican wrestler with brain damage[/QUOTE] You really ought to read the comics bane is a fucking beast What they did to him in B&R was equivalent to a felony

[QUOTE=SgtSpankeyII;30203620]I preferred Begins to TDK, [/QUOTE] how

[QUOTE=Generic.Monk;30202502]most people's perception of bane (including mine, sadly) is drawn form his depiction in Batman and Robin, aka a mexican wrestler with brain damage[/QUOTE] I will fuck you up, That movie never existed... [i][b]BAT CREDIT CARD?[/b][/i]

[QUOTE=niger;30178860]Is it bad that I have seen the Dark Knight, and loved it, but not Begins?[/QUOTE] I love Dark Knight, but I felt Begins brought the Batman universe to life a lot better and I enjoyed it more. Gotham looked like a generic New York or Chicago, whereas it had a much more unique architecture in Begins. I liked that Batman was the star, unlike his previous first outing in the '89 and '92 Batmans where he was overshadowed by the villains, same as with Dark Knight.
