Michael* Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 I'm suffering from such an acute case of 'anticipation fatigue' just now, that I'm beginning to think it's all a ruse, and that there is no movie. Quote
Cult Icon Posted July 7, 2012 Author Posted July 7, 2012 Film was screened recently. Good audience reception. best trailer imho. Looks exciting, I'll watch it in the first week. Quote
Mickiala Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 In case you can't wait 12 more days, a 13 minute tv specialhttp://www.movieweb....olan-featurette Quote

Michael* Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 Without wishing to engage too much in idle speculation, I wouldn't be surprised if we see Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character as a stand-in Batman for at least part of the movie. The trailers hint at some kind of incapacitation for Bruce Wayne and I see a little of Christian Bale's facial structure in Joseph. Quote
katchitup Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 ^hmmmm interesting I cannot freaking wait to see this movie! Of course its gonna be no dark knight, heath MADE that movie, this still looks like its gonna be one of chris nolans best Quote

The trailers hint at some kind of incapacitation for Bruce Wayne and I see a little of Christian Bale's facial structure in Joseph.I have no idea why he's in there, and what's his purpose..:-p Batman is supposed to be 'retired' or something after 8 years, and then Bane blows the bridges and holds the city hostage. And Bruce wayne is obviously injured in the trailer, and walks with a cane. I believe that he is injured from the start of the film.This film has been screened in several US cities (NYC was last week) and so far, the reception is very positive. I don't know how much of it is hype and promotion, but there are claims that it is better than 1 and 2. Quote
Michael* Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 I guess it goes without saying that they'll have to go some to equal the second movie, but for what it's worth I believe they've really nailed Bane as a character. Menacing, imposing, calculating and just generally spot on. The showdown between he and the returning Batman is going to be absolutely chilling. Additional: one of the best things my eyes have seen in a while - the movie trailer recreated using old clips from the Batman animated series. Quote
Cult Icon Posted July 13, 2012 Author Posted July 13, 2012 ^ ahaha, interesting clips Anyway, when checking showtimes, I came across something very funny. The whole multiplex is playing batman @ 12:0X AM on the 19th, all 19+ screens. "Dark Knight Trilogy IMAX Jan. 19" Runtime: 8hr 45 min Adult: $25 Showtime: 6:00 PM, 12:03 AM There are individuals that are so excited about this film that they're willing to ruin their Thursday/friday/weekend schedules just to see it a day early....LOL! And watch Batman movies 9 hours straight....and then finish up at 9 AM in the morning...!!! Quote

The gasmask gives him an 'otherworldly' voice, like he's some kind of demon. Did you see the 6 min. prologue? If you want to, it's here: http://www.movieweb....minute-prologue Now, looking at it again...it's apparent to me that the CIA agent doesn't shoot or throw the man out of the plane. That's why Bane quipped.... Quote
Michael* Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 ^Thanks, I hadn't seen it until now. It probably sounds like an odd thing to say, but I actually find Tom Hardy easier to understand as Bane than as his character in 'Inception'. Is it just me though, or is the dubbing a little off in parts? Maybe it's just in the prologue and not the final film but at the moment, I get the impression that Bane's voice is 'on top' of everything else as opposed to being a part of the mix, if that makes any sense.

Cult Icon Posted July 15, 2012 Author Posted July 15, 2012 I heard that the actual prologue is different from the one released in 2011 (It was a kicker for watching a particular movie). Also, I think that this prologue is missing a segment. The actual one had Gordon giving a few lines of a speech (presumably at Dent"s funeral). What was Hardy's character in Inception? All I remember was that he was simply 'the slick, experienced guy' with a strange profession. Quote
Michael* Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 ^If memory serves his character wasn't given a great deal of backstory. In the real world, he was some kind of conman/forger who'd worked with the others before, and in the dream sequences he was good at disguising himself and mimicking others. Quote

He says only a few words in the trailers and the prologue has little of substance about Bane, the man. There is a still of Bane as a little boy somewhere (can't find it as of the moment...) but that's it.There are a few hints though from the trailers:-There seems to be a 'Bane occupies Wall Street' thing going on. In fact, the street-battle was filmed in New york, and on & around Wall Street itself..- He releases the prisoners and arms them.- He has mercenaries working for him.- From the prologue He has fanatical individuals, devoted to die for him and his cause. - He may be a user of socialistic rhetoric (the 99%) to further his cause. Are the poors of Gotham city among his rebel army?- His cause? Against the 'evil rich' (1%) perhaps? He does attack a wall street broker-dealer. A hostage situation?- Catwoman may have been his ally at first, and then changed sides to be with Batman. (I'm speculating that Catwoman is the one who helps batman escape)- He detonates the bridges once martial law is declared and the national guard is deployed, then seals off Gotham city, presumably with high explosives and chemical/biological weapons at his disposal. There is a still with tanks, APCs, and motorized infantry attempting to enter gotham city through the bridges.........-For some reason, he has commandeered three Wayne Corporation 'Tumblers' and painted them with a desert camo scheme.

Michael* Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 There certainly are a few strong hints that a 'redistribution of wealth' storyline will take place at some point in the movie. [speculation] It could be that Bane and Selina loosely share that particular cause until the outright destruction of Gotham City is exposed as Bane's real objective. Something to do with Ra's Al Ghul perhaps? [/speculation] Quote
Cult Icon Posted July 16, 2012 Author Posted July 16, 2012 ^I really don't know where the League of shadows plays into the story, but I think Bane may be associated with them somehow.TDKR is at 94% on RT professional critics- 29 positive reviews, 2 negative reviews. Very good.. Quote
Cult Icon Posted July 17, 2012 Author Posted July 17, 2012 Trailer 5#hmmph...I believe it's meant to emphasize that part 3 is a genuine 'part 3...' A few new clips.Bane: "We will destroy Gotham..." Quote
