I hope you didn't just post a real spoiler Mr. JC.

Bane is essentially Evil Batman already. Parents are killed, innocence robbed, trained from young age to be super badass, comes to Gotham as powerful mysterious figure with ambitions to change the city through strong symbolic actions, etc.

That's probably where they're going with this: There can only be one Batman!

I think he wants to be catboy instead

Batman, Bane and Catwoman team up to take down the real enemy of Gotham: Ra's-Al-Ghul-is-dead-but-she-doesn't-bat-an-eye-woman

I hope you didn't just post a real spoiler Mr. JC.

After how you spoiled the ending of Skyfall for me, you deserve nothing less!

I'm just going off the origin story of the comic books. Every one of the big bad guys in Nolan's films are some kind of variance/dark reflection on Batman, and I think just from a character concept, Bane is right up there. If Ra's/Scarcrow are Batman's power of control through fear and symbolic justice pushed too far, if Joker is the Opposite of Batman, then Bane is Anti-Batman. A perversion on Batman's origins. I always thought that with the proper respect to the character, he'd be a wonderful Batman movie villain, and I think DKR will be testament to that.

Oh okay. So long as its coming from the comic books.

Someone was positing "See no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil" in relation to those posters. It works, kinda

No it doesn't.

Cats have good eyes, bats have good ears, bane has a good mouth

makes perfect sense.

The more promotional material I see of Catwoman the less thrilled I am about her being in the movie. She's a new character to the film, one that none of us have any attachment towards. I'd much rather have more Batman or Alfred or Gordon or Bane badassery than have Selina Kyle add a trite femme fatale angle just for the sake of it.

Obviously I'm hoping Nolan will make her awesome, but I still can't help but be skeptical. I don't want a stereotypical "strong female hero" in my Batman movies, because I can't see it adding anything of value to the story

Spoiler

I know Nolan won't let me down

 

[Replicant]

See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil. Or rather, that's what the poster could be aiming for but failed at delivering.

Nolan, for better or worse, seems to like to cram as much as he possibly can into his two and a half hours so you still might get plenty of Batman, Gordon and Alfred time.

Wait, Bane isn't a new character? Did you just spoil something?!

 

[Good Job Bob]

Bane is a new male character, Catwoman is a new female character.

Can't have those trite female characters taking up that precious screentime.

Bane is Coleman Reese. He's finally ready to blackmail this person.

Of course! It all makes sense!

And what about Robin oops JGL?

What is this from? It's been bugging me for a long time.

No clue as to the specifics, but I'm 99% sure it's a WWE wrestling thing.

I don't have a problem with her BECAUSE she is female, but rather because Catwoman is a "big league" character that can usually keep up with Batman in one way or another. I have no problem with JGL or Marion Cotillard in TDKR, I just don't want Batman getting help from Catwoman. It is the exact same reason I'm glad Robin has been kept out of Nolan's movies. Batman is just way more badass when there aren't other people sharing his style of justice. Obviously Catwoman and Batman differ in a lot of aspects, but the Lucius-Alfred-Gordon support system is the perfect balance and I don't want her throwing it off and making Batman seem weaker for it. It has nothing to do with sex or gender

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Just finished Begins for the billionth time. So good. I wish TDK used some of the bigger music pieces that Begins has.

Also hadn't picked up on Batman using the "there's a storm coming" line when he's talking to Gordon, just like Selina in the trailers for
Rises.

im pretty sure meteorologists have been using that line for ages

 

[shira]

Gotham's true hero needs a character poster too.

"You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off, Master Wayne."

Stealing ideas from the best is a course of action I can support.

"You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off, Master Wayne."

He's got to call him Bruce or batman at least once

 

[Tookay]

Shit's got to go down for that to happen.

... Then again, that seems to be the description of this movie.

They should've taken inspiration from Batman Returns for a tagline. Something like:

The Cat
The Bat
The Lobster...face.

Or whatever.

Now somebody has to photoshop Bane into Dr. Zoidberg.

Well Beware the Batman (upcoming CN cartoon) has Alfred packing some heat. Dual wielding, even.

Way to spoil the ending, you bastard.

 

[King of the Potato People]

Bane has fallen but won’t have the strength to pick himself up again.

It's okay. Worth reporting anyway.
