Bane's pose on the side is straight out of Mortal Kombat

 

[DMczaf]

Even in bobble head form, Bane's jacket is awesome.

The bald head makes the whole outfit, I think.

Speeding is an embarrassment to all things Nolan.

If it's Batman nostalgic toys we're talking about, the male batman version of polly pocket is where it was at:

I think I've got the Batman somewhere. Although, I didn't buy it at the time, but from flea market, and it didn't have all those vehicles.

 

[Discotheque]

haha is that Speeding? WTF dude why did you do it?

 

[Puddles]

I don't think the Oscars really carry the power they once did, nominating TDK for best picture would have helped them more than it would the Dark Knight legacy. Blowing up the boats wouldn't have been a big game changer, he already blew up Rachel which was the real emotional wtf moment for me. I think Dark Knight Rises has a decent chance of getting nominated or winning best picture if it is up to the quality of the previous two films just because the academy will want to acknowledge the value of the entire trilogy put together just like they did with Lord of the Rings.

IMO, everything that happens on the boats after the initial shock is cheesy as fuck and drags the movie down almost as much as the random cop dialogue.

"We're still here. Which means they haven't killed us yet either."

Give me a fucking break. And the dilemma ending with a hardened criminal tossing the detonator into the ocean? For fuck's sake, Nolan.

Vinyl Bane peeking over the edge at the top of the packaging is the funniest shit ever.

 

[dmshaposv]

Whenever i see bane's mask, i see venom.

Nolan's Spiderman 3 confirmed?

Wait, what, huh? That dude ain't me, the hell.

 

[Solo]

Wait, what, huh? That dude ain't me, the hell.

Busted!

 

[Guzim]

Wait, what, huh? That dude ain't me, the hell.

Why so serious?

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

If I got the Bane coat from the movie for free, I would shave my head and post that shit.

 

[RustyNails]

Wait, what, huh? That dude ain't me, the hell.

NICE COAT

A fairly liberal recreation in my opinion. I also think the intro sounds a lot like another you tube video I have heard, I'm not sure if that one was a recreation or an original soundtrack. Here is a recreation I think is a bit more accurate, beware though, this is not that great either:

What does Bane say in the trailer? All I can make out is "When Gotham is ashes.... .... .... die." ?

 

[Gila]

"When Gotham is ashes, you have my permission to die"

EDIT: Eh!

It's time to Nostalgia bomb this thread

Holy nostalgia batman! O_O

Damn.. I remember those toys fondly. Everyone busted theirs out during recess like clockwork. I remember having every single one save for Batman. Ain't that some bullshit....

Batman Begins: Bruce Wayne becomes Batman. Obama becomes Senator.

The Dark Knight: Obama beats the Joker. Joker's sidekick is usually Harley Quinn. Harley Quinn has a strong regional accent. McCain is a joker. Obama beats McCain. McCain's running mate was Sarah Palin.

The Dark Knight Rises: Bane probably works in league with shadowy figurehead Ra's al Ghul. Bain Capital's Mitt Romney probably works in league with shadowy Super PACs.

Actually, you could say that McCain is Harvey Dent/Two-Face and Palin is The Joker. McCain in 2000 was a different person than what we saw in 2008. I wouldn't go as far as to say he was corrupted, but his campaign managers truly made him into something else after Palin was picked.

I hated the Batman action figures with the big plastic capes. The cloth cape action figures were way better. WHOS WITH ME

Yeah, unless you got Silly Puddy on them. Ruined.

 

[DMczaf]

Hopefully we get a Quick Change Bane with a little coat and mask.

effzee, you better not lose his coat!

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Speaking of Batman figures, this was and still is my all time favorite.

Oh my God, I had that one.

Nostalgiaaaaaaaa!

I have the Robin equivalent. I wanted the real Robin, but I was a year too late when asking for him for Xmas, it was the best my parents could find.

EDIT - found it

A week or so old, but Bale talks a bit about Batman/Bruce

http://www.nydailynews.com/entertai...ye-batman-dark-knight-rises-article-1.1010436

"He’s got that killer within him that he’s desperately not trying to let off his leash. And that’s what I always return to."

 

[cory.]

Had an idea floating around in my head for a few weeks, tried to execute it:

[effzee]

So any guesses about when the next trailer will be released.

I'm thinking March with the Hunger Games. First "big action" movie of the year so it would make sense unless they wait to attach it to another big WB movie.

Probably May, with Dark Shadows.

"When Gotham is ashes, you have my permission to die"

Thanks! And the chanting, is it really a foreign language that translates to "rise" or are they chanting something else?

 

[Cheebo]

I had this

 

[Dysun]

I enjoyed that toy alot at the time^

 

[shira]

Albanian?

 

[Blader]

I remember reading that the chant is Moroccan for "he rises, he rises." DM will probably know whether that's more of the typical Superherohype bullshit or not.

 

[cory.]

I had this

iirc I had

and

It did not come with a Batmobile.

 

[RBH]

Man, seeing the TDKR trailer in theaters is sooo much different from seeing it on a computer screen.

Goosebumps all around for me, especially with that chant in the background.

 

[DMczaf]

No one knows for sure what the chant is yet. One week it's Spanish, the next week it's Indian, the next week it's Moroccan. We probably won't find out til July.

Fan recreation of the prologue music

The first minute is actually pretty spot on, so is the last-ish minute. The middle section sounds really off to me but I could be wrong.

 

[Sanjuro]

The Eddie Murphy death hoax had me thinking for a bit. The trademark of the Batman franchise could be having the actor portraying the villain die with each installment. Think about the profit margins!

BBC America is airing Batman Returns and Batman Forever back-to-back on Thursday Feb. 9th at 11pm ET.
