Sorry? For what?

Do you want us to not care about Bane or the movie because apparently you have seen the movie or think Bane is lame?

No way this film
isn't going to be R rated. Or at least, I hope they get away with it somehow if it isn't..

From the rest of the quote

Empire: This is a 12-certificate film isn't it?

Hardy: Yeah, but I'm not approaching it with a 12-cert attitude. If we're going to shoot somebody, shoot the pregnant woman or the old lady first. Make sure everybody stands up and listens. He is a terrorist in his mentality as well as brutal action. So he's horrible. A really horrible piece of work.

Good to know how to get people to listen to me now. Thanks Bane.
 
how amazing would it be if the prologue was just Alfred eating a tangerine before Nolan jumps up from behind with his arms crossed and just stands there..while alfred just showers him with cash money..


I'd give my right arm to witness that shit.
 
After Inception, the MPAA just handed Nolan a dartboard with all of the ratings on it and said "Shoot the film however the fuck you want. We'll be in touch."
 
I really like this quote from Bale on Bruce's character:

It does harken back to that notion that this guy is originated from great pain and he has to address that - but at what point does it become indulgence? The question is: how long do you allow pain to dominate your life? He has to try and answer that and move on.

read the cover story

he's a really brutal criminal and uh

he's good with martial arts

and he's probably a cover for ra al ghul or some other hidden villain because he's too vanilla to be the real big bad of the movie

Fixed that one for ya. Probable film spoilers I just put in there, FYI.
 
You can just click on spoiler tags now and they reveal the text. =-O

I'm really pumped now that I've
heard about the eight year time gap. I do wonder if they'll have Batman still doing his thing at the start of this movie. That's the vibe I got at the end of the Dark Knight, but with so much time passing anything is possible.

I'm still pretty certain the film will begin closer in time to the end of The Dark Knight. Something will happen, and we'll jump eight years. Remember Gordon in the teaser: "and then you were gone". We need a context to understand why that is.There's a precedent for this in the trilogy; there was a 7 year time jump in Batman Begins. We might also get flashbacks or something, if the film does actually begin 8 years later.

Costume designer Lindy Hemming talks us through the latest Bat-villain's style

THE MASK

"I wanted it to be like an animal. I looked at things like silverback gorillas, and snarling teeth and fangs coming up and fangs coming down."

THE ARMOR

"Here he has nods to the straps of the wrestling suit he started with in the comics, but he's much more of a warrior/mercenary than a wrestler."

THE TECH

"His stuff has been made on the move over the mountains of the world. So there is a slightly clunky element to him, and that's part of his story."

It's really all about finishing Batman's and Bruce Wayne's story. We left him in a very precarious place at the end of The Dark Knight. His reputation in tatters, on the run. And I think perhaps surprisingly for some people, our story picks up quite a bit later. He's not in great state. He's frozen in time, he's hit a brick wall. Batman Begins was very much about the explaining the logic of the suit, and how it belonged in the shadows, in a position of stealth where he's able to intimidate people with it as his new entity. And then through The Dark Knight we would him out during the magic hour and we changed the suit accordingly so he withstood that kind of exposure. But also the character himself has the reputation now, so he;s able to expose himself more and still intimidate people. And with the third film we're pushing that further...but plenty of it takes place in the dark too."

True enough. He could have been talking about
most of the central action taking place eight years after the Dark Knight. I would like it if it were structured more like begins with flashbacks to control the flow of the film. One of my biggest problems with the Dark Knight was it having pretty awful pacing, so you pointing out that this one may be structured differently has me even more excited.

Anyone else think the whole emphasis on
constant pain
with Bane make him sound a bit like..

(Darth Scion from KOTOR 2)

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Darth_Sion

That seems like an excellent way to reinterpret the character and his motivations.

Sounds like
pain
might be the theme of the film (Bale mentions it as an important part of his arc as well).

Batman Begins: Fear

The Dark Knight: Chaos

The Dark Knight Rises:
Pain

Get some insane Memento-style editing on the go.

Spoilering everything just to be safe.
 
Remember we've seen set photos
with bale in white streaks and without. So its plausible the film continues straight after TDK and then jumps 8 years. However this is discounting the possibility that those days Bale was in a suit and didn't require the aging but i digress.
 
It would make sense for Bane to strike Batman when he's worn out, that's how he does it in the comics. The Joker pushed Batman to his limits, and it wouldn't be too far-fetched if Bane struck right after the events of TDK.
 
<Nolan> The story takes place 8 years after TDK. It starts off 8 years later. It's 8 years later. 96 months in the future.

<GAF> ....but what if it was right after the events of TDK?

With this quote,
Nolan said:
"The Prologue is basically the first six, seven minutes of the film. Its the introduction to Bane and a taste of the rest of the film. With Bane we are looking to give Batman a physical challenge that he hasn't had before"
Click to expand...
it makes it seem like they might be covering
Bane getting injured and picked up by the young Ra's in the beginning of the prologue. The part about getting a taste of the rest of the film could pick up where the Dark Knight left off if that prologue story ended up being legit. Five minutes of Bane backstory, two minutes of Batman getting his ass beat, and you're set for a movie.
 
Does America have a 14A? In Canada, 14A is what half of the US R-rated movies get, and is our PG-13 but more stuff falls into it.

I dunno man. This kind of makes it sound like the emphasis is on
Batman having to overcome a 'physical challenge', and what better way than to introduce Bane and what the film is going to be like, than breaking Batman

..but we already know that
there are flashbacks. Josh Pence as a young Ras basically confirms it.

No one's trying to say that the bulk of the movie won't be 8 years later. Plus, Nolan never said what I bolded.

It'd certainly be a hell of a way to start off the film. The
eight year break puts a bit of a wrench in that, though. Bane puts Batman out of commission at the beginning and then leaves for almost a decade? There's no believable way he could be causing havoc during that time in a major American city. Maybe getting rid of Batman will cause Gotham to slip again and when it's basically anarchy years later he comes back as a weird type of "Choose your destiny" savior? Police are put away, he introduces martial law, Gordon begs Batman to come back, etc, etc.

Sounds pretty over the top, but I guess it could work with what we know so far.

Was TDK really 7 years after BB? I'd assumed that it was closely following it as they name dropped the Joker at the end of BB and he's only beginning to establish himself at the start of TDK.

He was talking about Batman Begins itself. Bruce took seven years to go travel the world, get put in jail, train, and other random shit.

Hardy's arms look giant there.
