The football scene will be great when someone photoshops funny things into it falling down into the holes
People love ignoring the lack of context in movie previews. I remember when there was audio of Bane talking while they filmed a scene outdoors, and people were complaining that his voice was terrible. Ignoring the fact that it was, at that point, just Tom Hardy standing outside in a pitch speaking with a bulky mask over his mouth, not Bane in the final movie.

"inconsistent tone" is the criticism you're looking for:
See: Batman Returns, which goes from stupid grim dark to fuckin' propeller umbrellas and rocket penguins at the drop of a hat.
I hope the twist is that it's actually Penn State's football team.
Are there spoilers in the book? Should I wait to order until I have seen the movie?
Man the days are slowing down. 9 DAYS!

That clip of Hathaway was fantastic. She is going to be so good.
Oh, I am disappointed in you.
Sounds pretty consistently macabre to me. Just like how The Dark Knight Rises is going for an epic sort of grandeur. The reason the tone probably won't be inconsistent is because the scene probably won't be goofy in the film. Like most ITT are saying... in context, it'll probably work very well particularly in terms of scale. Still, it'll be one of the big sticking points for the straw-clutchers, to be sure.
Disclaimer: assuming this is the film BatGAF deserves.
Awesome. Kind of wish these movies were rated R

Dammit, don't care about Batman & Robin, but Batman Forever was awesome
DM, do you have the book? I'm wondering because I don't believe it's in stores yet (at least in Canada).
If there are scans available..I'd consider taking a gander at them. I'm buying the book ASAP, regardless.
Another aboard the Anne train, it's getting quite busy in here.
There are some spoilers, but it was stuff I knew since last year so I was ok with it. Avoid it if you've been good so far. I haven't read any of the text yet, I just did a quick flip through.
There are some great Catwoman shots that make me think "Why the fuck was that first photo the one they picked?", especially since there are better pics of her on the Batpod.

Can't stand it anymore but I loved it as a kid. Val wasn't bad.
Think I was the opposite of most of you guys, fully trusted Anne as Catwoman but had 0 faith in Bane until we saw him in action.

Haha! I have been! I just like seeing it play out as I expected.
I decided to come back here after the trauma that was yesterday, but a bit nervious. That being said I was really upset when they casted Ledger as Joker, and after how that turned out I have nothing but 100% faith in whatever Nolan decided to do. Hell he could have casted Pee Wee Herman as Bane and because its Nolan I would be on board.

I was mainly worried by the fact that outside of comics Bane has never been a good villain, he even sucked in TAS.I decided to come back here after the trauma that was yesterday, but a bit nervious. That being said I was really upset when they casted Ledger as Joker, and after how that turned out I have nothing but 100% faith in whatever Nolan decided to do.

Pee Wee as Bane is awesome.
There are two sets of people I trust 100% with Batman until proven otherwise:
Team Nolan
Rocksteady Studios
The Hermit

Yes. And the worst thing is, I thought it was a worldwide release until two days ago when I was making plans with my friend, until he gave the bad news.
I'm from Brazil.
I know your pain bro... btw, I am watching at imax here in SP.
Also I am grateful that BB is coming back

This is getting weirder all the time
I luckily missed out on whatever spoilers that guy posted yesterday... what was it like exactly? Did he just write out a bit of plot line (in order to deliberately spoil), or did he just not spoiler tag something he wanted to discuss?
Both have given me reason to question them.
He wrote the spolier over and over again. It was one sentence and was bolded and underlined, and he copied it about 20 times and put it in 3 seperate posts.
They are two different beasts. The games could certainly be better. I'm really looking forward to the Silver-Age take on the series.
Such as?

I liked Gotham Knight.....
Grant Morrison > Both!
What do you mean? We both come at LOTR from *VERY* different perspectives. He's a fanboy whereas I think FOTR is a great film and the other two are totally mediocre.
I didn't think it was bad, just easily forgettable.

I mean that Nolan wanted more Batman Begins in TDKR (you) and Nolan was inspired by Peter Jackson (Sculli).

Fellowship is probably my personal favorite but I kinda see them all as one film. As in I see each one as a different act instead of a standalone movie. I'm epic that way. I felt the same about Deathly Hallows, as Part 2 was literally the third act of the book and Part 1 was the first two acts.
That being said, you're insane.

wasn't that bad but it wasn't up to the standards of all the other Batman DTVs imo.
A few segments were great though.

And it was a movie-ruining plot point?
If so, damn that seriously sucks. I don't know what I'm still doing here frankly.
Also, could he not have just been making it up?
Based on several conversations I think we are safe. It was a major plot point.

Oh, who got banned? NotTheGuyYouKill is still banned? Sculli is banned? They're dropping like flies.
Right guys, I have an idea.
got TDK on DVD, and ripped onto my PC. Batman is goddam near impossible to understand through all the growling. I might dub over his lines. I'll post the results on youtube once I'm done.
I got banned whilst I was asleep (called the spoiling idiot a c**t!).
woke up, and I was unbanned. Yeahhhh.

Not gonna rehash Nolan stuff again, but I really disliked a LOT of the decisions they made with AC. I thought AA was near flawless and easily the best superhero game ever, but AC took like 10 steps back for me.
Yeah, studied it at school. Good comparison.
Also, sorry for mistaking you for the guy who posted the spoiler earlier in the thread! You've done no wrong. I'm just terrible with names.
haha
Hey, no problem
I'll try to look at this book even if my english skills are average.
AC was by far a better game and the best game last year by far. Nolan is a visionary and finally gets what Batman should have always been in the movies.
