The Dark Knight Rises (Batman 3) - No Riddler

Ok, so the shaky cam makes some stuff impossible to tell, but...

Are Bruce and Alfred prisoners!?

And wow, Bruce seems to still be rocking the Dick-Bruce persona eight years down the line if Selina's comments are anything to go by. Bitch, he's Batman (I'm not misogynistic, I'm just joking, I love Hathaway).

Oh man, BAAAAANE. Dude be hardcore.

Edit: Ok, Bruce and Alfred might not prisoners, I can't tell who that old dude is.
 
Hmmm

I have to admit. That football scene didn't look too good.

It just doesn't fit with Nolan's style IMO. I guess I'll have to wait for the movie.
 
The football scene will live and die on sound, I think. If it sounds like a full-blown earthquake and the stadium is breathless, yeah, that's going to look rather silly. If the screaming and howling of the crowd drowns out virtually everything, only to peter out and die as the player comes to a stop and turns, I can see that really selling the moment. Who wouldn't want to see an exuberant Gotham shocked into silence?
 
Sorta can't make out the size of Bane. Anybody have an idea? He's massive but it looks as if he's about on par with Batman if you remove the bat ears. Which isn't bad, but it'd be nice if Bane had a few inches over Bats. I wanna just imagine Bane front kicking Batman into a wall, rattling his mind and just pushing him around like a skinny nerd.

Let's just go full hyperbole here:

THIS IS GOING TO BE NOLAN'S SPIDERMAN 3! FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUCK!

That is my worry. There is just so much that seems over the top with this one. I really hope that he delivers a fitting third movie because no superhero franchise has done it yet, and dammit we need it.

And as others said, the football part looked stoopid as hell.

Think They'll go for the latter. Some of the youtube clips from people in the crowd, have alot of them cheering, and then being "scared into shock"
 
@latinoreview:

I just wet my pants twice, saw The Dark Knight Rises and Prometheus trailers. NON Bootleg. Fucking Awesome. Can't wait for it to go online. I won't be posting it online. But they will go online soon. I know Prometheus will go on Apple. Heard mid next week.

Also, not mentioned, but first appearance of Mathew Modine, and he's talking to Goodwin from Lost.

Want to know who the old guy is, that talks to Bruce. Bruce with facial hair too.

I genuinely got a. Michael Bay/GI Joe vibe from the Bane on a Plane sequence. Complete with villainous eastern European and explosion.

Pixar did...

As much as I love Nolan, someday, he will fall. I don't think it will be with TDKR though.

The way I see it, this might be his disappointing movie. But I know that Nolan is never going to do something as crazy as some of the stuff in Spidey 3, such as the dancing....right?

Hyped nonetheless.

what? no way, that scene was awesome

The Joker was awesome in it, yes, but I was distracted by too many issues with that scene.

There's that weird moment when Joker walks into the the penthouse and there's a sound, like someone dropped something and it clatters onto the ground, loudly. The characters, Joker included, turn to see what it was. What was it? Distracted me every time. Then Joker picks up a glass of champagne, but spills most of it. I doubt that was intentional. Makes people laugh when they watch it though (me included).

How did Batman sneak up on Joker? How did no one see him?

After Batman catches Rachel, the sequence just ends. No wrap up of what Joker does during that time.
 
There was a Prestige theory for the Dark Knight saga (You'll get this if you've seen The Prestige)

Every great magic trick consists of three parts or acts. The first part is called "The Pledge". The magician shows you something ordinary: a deck of cards, a bird or a man. He shows you this object. Perhaps he asks you to inspect it to see if it is indeed real, unaltered, normal. But of course... it probably isn't. The second act is called "The Turn". The magician takes the ordinary something and makes it do something extraordinary. Now you're looking for the secret... but you won't find it, because of course you're not really looking. You don't really want to know. You want to be fooled. But you wouldn't clap yet. Because making something disappear isn't enough; you have to bring it back. That's why every magic trick has a third act, the hardest part, the part we call "The Prestige"."

That's kind of just like saying TDKR has a three-act structure theory. News at eleven.
 
The part with Gordon, Dent and Batman on the rooftop WAS UNFUCKING WATCHABLE.

Oh wait no, I'm just being irrationally hyperbolic about minutia that really don't matter

If you don't mind me saying, those are incredibly weird complaints. And I am a Nolan naysayer, of sorts. He's an amazing filmmaker and a good storyteller with a bad sense of editing.
 
Maybe it's my past experience with the characters affecting me, but I'm sensing some real double meaning with Ms. Kyle's lines while she's dancing with Bruce. I think she knows by that point.

I actually think it was intentional, a sight gag, which is repeated just before by Bruce on the Balcony.

I don't mind you saying it, but if you're going to say yourself that Nolan has a bad sense of editing, I don't understand how you could consider my complaints weird.

Is it nitpicky? I don't believe so.

? Of course it was intentional.

I've always assumed you were supposed to think Bruce doesn't drink because it's not healthy and he's fucking crazy like that. But, of course he has to seem like he does.
