I like the bit when Lau points with the phone.

What did that device in play do?
Half the lights went out.

You can't even protect yoselves.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Should have called the first movie... 'The Batman'. Batman Begins is... clunky.

You can't even protect yoselves.

Continue using Bat-quotes, how long do you calculate you'll last in here?

 

[MrPink93485]

Shoulda just called it 'Dark Knight 2'

 

[Good Job Bob]

I still think The Dark Knight Rises is a stilted title.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

No.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Should've just called it "Gotham's Reckoning".

 

[Expendable.]

The film has exactly 72 minutes of IMAX footage.

[DMczaf]

I 100% believe it.

Then add in that Nolan got them to make their first Batman movie without Batman anywhere in the title. Why would WB now all of a sudden have control over the title he wants? You people make no sense!

 

[MrPink93485]

No.

Yes

Still think my single biggest suspension-of-disbelief-shattering moment in TDK is when Joker sets off the bomb and escapes jail. Somehow the bomb kills and/or incapacitates EVERYONE in the MCU aside from the Joker. Many Gaffers have tried to fanwank away reasons for this, but they are pure rubbish. Come the fuck on, sons.

 

[Rich!]

Should have been called Dark Knight 2: Bane Boogaloo.

 

[Sanjuro]

Pretty sure WB would have let him title the film "The Goddam Batman".

 

[Liquidsnake]

Is there a spoiler filled thread I can look at?

 

[Wilbur]

Shoulda just called it Rub Rhubarb

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

There should have never been a title. Just release promotional material with the tagline "Gotham's Rectum King"

Isn't he shielded by the cop he's holding?

Spoiler

lol

 

[Mononofu]

So the embargo lifts on the 16th, right?

I'm really excited to see all the hyperbolic reviews rise.

It says the 17th here http://hollywood-elsewhere.com/2012/07/la_gang_is_last.php

Next week is going to feel slow as hell.

Go the lazy Marvel/Sony route

Batman

Batman 2

Batman 3


You see, because people won't understand it's a sequel unless you put the number on the end of the character's name.

It is still far more believable than Bond surviving ball torture in CR.

 

[Mully]

I really liked "Gotham." It was simple and it's still synonymous with Batman.

 

[Lonestar]

Batman: It's a Funny World

 

[Rich!]

The title means shit anyway. You don't even see it until the very end. Up until that point, the film is called BAT SYMBOL

Would'nt mind this too - but I can see why this wouldn't fly (no reference to bats himself).

Best naming convention by far:

Alien to Aliens.

That, at least, led to the awesome scene of Joker driving the police car.

I'm all for IMAX, but I'm already dreading another borked aspect ratio home video release :/

Hopefully they do a MUCH better job transferring the non-IMAX stuff this time.

Because it ain't for home video release. Nolan will force people to buy Personal IMAX theaters in November.

How many mins of IMAX footage did TDK have?

btw, all those people crying about having to watch this a week later - I have to wait till 16 August, to see this. so fuck you.

 

[Solo]

How many mins of IMAX footage did TDK have?

Prologue was like 10 mins, and the car chase was like 10 mins, then like 5 mins on other quicky stuff.

~25 mins, Id say.

A bit under 30 minutes.

What would you be ready to do for having an apparence in TDKR?

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

I always wondered but was too afraid to ask. I'm not afraid anymore!

Joker himself is driving the car, right?

He's in the backseat. Goon #56 is driving.

I'm not paying $20 to see Batmans smokey nutsack.

BTW the most jarring aspect ratio change in TDK is when it goes from a 35mm scene (2.35:1/black bars) to a pointless, whole 2 second long establishing IMAX shot of Wayne's penthouse (1.78:1/full frame) back to a 35mm interior scene. Basically 2.35 -> 1.78 -> 2.35 within 5 seconds. Ugh.

He was prepared for it. They weren't.
