How about no one finding the BatWing in plain sight under a tarp on the roof while Bruce was in the pit in India?

Not a single person found it!

Not a civilian, not a Special Forces guy, not a Bane goon.

No one. .

See that's what I'm talking about! Gives me headaches just thinking about the plausibility of it all.
 
Well he did let Gordon take a spin in the Tumbler. I suppose when escalation's painted you in a corner, you can't take your time in choosing who you really trust.

I meant, that it just happens to be sitting there in a wall. I can understand that he would keep backups around the city, but it just comes out of nowhere.
 

You are an angry, angry man. Does it hurt you that some of us here actually love the movie despite its flaws?

Because seriously man, right now you're like a priest preaching in front of a strip bar, just trying to spoil everyone's fun.

TDKR isn't perfect, but I fucking loved Nolan's rendition of Batman just the same.

I think it's more a question of how that infrastructure was ever built. Why is there a secret compartment in a wall in the city? How did it get there?
 
Just saw it. Not as good as the The Dark Knight - lots of pacing issues, super cheesy moments, and wait, what? leaps of logic, but still pretty enjoyable.
 
Bruce quit being Batman for 8 years and let his company slide into decline because a supervillain killed his girlfriend = Dumb

Alfred leaves Bruce when he needs his support the most = Dumb

Bane's voice and the whole misdirection of him possibly being the son of Ra's al Ghul (which isn't pronounced "Raz" no matter how much Nolan want's to insist it is) = Dumb

A device/program which erases your digital footprint from every computer in the world = Dumb

Sending all the police in the city into the sewers all at one time = Dumb

The fact that Batman is so easily tricked and does the dumbest thing possible in nearly every situation = Dumb

Bat auto pilot foreshadowing and use as plot device to build false expectation that Batman was going to die when he was obviously not = Dumb

Creating a character called John Blake as an amalgamation of Jason, Dick and Tim and then still having to drill home to the audience that his middle name is Robin = unbelievably fucking Dumb

Bruce creating a fusion energy device and then abandoning it when he "finds out" that it could be weaponized = Dumb (but working on the basis that Bruce in the Nolan films is a complete moron maybe expected)

An unguarded prison designed like a well, but that nobody (except Talia and Bruce) has ever escaped from, even though the prisoners are shown to have multiple lengths of rope at their disposal = Dumb



I could go on like this for about 7 pages but you get the idea. The movie is dumb, it trys to come off as smart and realistic but it isn't.

You are such a downer. Its a freaking movie about batman. Do you dissect every movie this way? Good god.
 
HEY I KNOW! I'll trust the woman who sold me out to my possible death!

Haha.

I mentioned this too:

Selina wearing the catsuit was weird in how it was introduced and there was no real explanation on why she wore it. I also found it weird that Batman would start trusting Selina to control the Batpod when she had tried stealing from him throughout the entire first act of the movie AND how she was directly responsible for him getting his spline fucked up by Bane. That relationship didn't feel organic at all.
 
BATMAN DIES HIS HAIR.



Ive got an odd question that was bugging me from the moment Bane is on screen: where did Banes painkiller gas actually come from....his mask has no tubes linking it to any apparatus to actually store the gas.

Everytime Bane was on screen i would try and see where the gas actually came from....thats the only thing, yes the only thing that took me out of the movie...i was willing to stomach everything, but not seeing where the gas came from fucked with my brain.

Else, i absolutely loved the movie.... Ive got a nigh obsession now with the bat-pods tumble turns every time i saw that id get a chill down my spine.
I need to sit and figure out a way to replicate that in CDK or UDK.

I didn't like it, you did. Nothing I'm saying is untrue. If the more you think about the film the less you enjoy it , how is that my fault? Ignore me if you want.

Gotham is corrupt to the core, it has been infiltrated at every level of its infrastructure.

Sometimes you guys want everything explained to you, and sometimes you say there's too much explanation!

That vision of Bane wasn't sustained by the venom.

The breathing apparatus was for helping Bane live pain free, not for venom delivery.

You're just one of those people I'll never understand. How can anyone enjoy anything when you break every little aspect down into your own little reason to hate it? I'm just so glad I don't think the way you do.
 
By the way, how did u guys think about the first battle scene between Bane and Batman? I thought it was one of the best fight scenes I have seen in years, especially in a superhero movie.


?

It was fantastic. I would have liked even better had Batman demonstrated more complicated martial arts moves, but it's a weakness of the Nolan movies I've long come to terms with.

At least they're a bit better than tdk, and Batman showed more finesse during the final fight.
 
And the whole 'Fuck your no killing rule!'

Bruce of course falls in love with her and they live happily ever after.

Bruce really is a masochist.

Of course, he's been established as self-destructive. Looking forward to the romantic comedy sequel starring Bruce Wayne.
 
Question:

When Bane & co bust out of the plane at the start of the film, it appears they forcefully transfuse the fusion doctor's blood into a dead guy in a body bag? What was this about?
 
You are such a downer. Its a freaking movie about batman. Do you dissect every movie this way? Good god.

Christ this is the worst argument. I've already said this, but just because it's a movie about Batman doesn't mean it's allowed to defy logic. In any way. Good movies can make anything believable, even Batman. That's why the first two movies worked. Bad movies have gaping plot holes and leaps in logic. They're two completely separate entities.

And yes, it's perfectly fine to dissect the movie to this degree. When a film is being openly praised, surely an equal level of criticism can be applied. That's what this thread is here for. For discussion.

You're just one of those people I'll never understand. How can anyone enjoy anything when you break every little aspect down into your own little reason to hate it? I'm just so glad I don't think the way you do.

Also nonsensical. Great films can be broken down into every little aspect and the result is a huge appreciation of the film. Flawed films are broken down into every little aspect and the blemishes are revealed. It can go both ways and it's a totally valid way of appreciating filmmaking. Probably the truest way.
 
I meant, that it just happens to be sitting there in a wall. I can understand that he would keep backups around the city, but it just comes out of nowhere.

I chose to be ignorant on where he keeps his vehicles in the city when I thought too hard on the plausibility of him sneaking a roaring tumbler into an alley outside Arkham in BB. But that thing with The Bat in TDKR? I can only tolerate so much plot holes

Well...wutcha gonna do. World's coming to an end, and it all boils down to choosing the only person that would look fuckin sexy on a bike ie. the person wearing tights.

Anyway, I didn't call that into question when the bigger problem for me was how their conflict was resolved the moment he came back to Gotham and met Selina.

I don't break down every aspect of every film I watch, but when things are so glaringly stupid and the tone is played as dead serious things tend to stick out. I care about the character and his world, which is why I keep punishing myself by going to see movies I know I will probably hate in the hope that "this one might be good". In that way I'm just as stupid as the movies, if not more so.
 
How did Bane and co know that Bruce was Batman? I don't remember Batman leaving any of the League of Shadows members alive at the end of Begins.

So when Catwoman was stealing his fingerprints, at the time I had been assuming it was because the LoS wanted to try and confirm his identity. Nope. Turns out it was for the deal to bankrupt Wayne.

Thing is, you believe so much that your word is gospel. Also making yourself the victim here. Did I say I'm starting to dislike the film after your rant? Like I said, I love the film despite its flaws. I am fine with the leaps of logic it took, or the mistakes the characters made because it's a fucking movie, not the One True Batman film we all need and deserve.

Good god man, relax. You've already spewed this in the non-spoiler thread, so why bring this here? Are you looking for a fight, or a good ol' exchange of opinions?

This can have many explanations. I assume they had a base of operations in randombekiztan. Plans/info were probably laid out and Talia had or gained access to these.

Maybe this is where Talia's grand schemes come into play, which should include dissolving Wayne Enterprise. She must have known who Bruce is for her to put those plans into action in the first place.

The look on his face, how pleased was he to see her again? Of course, seeing her rescue the boy helped.

I didn't think much of the betrayal. I can believe how he could forgive her, given how much he knows of the life she's lead (betrayed by fencers), how she's in deep with dangerous people, and like Rachel said in Tdk, Bruce's strong faith in humanity.

Yup - it isn't rocket science. The League of Shadows as an organisation totally knows Bruce is Batman... it isn't a f'ing secret to the, Ra's was probably bitching about it for months before he roared in to Gotham with his microwave doodad.
 
I cried not at the ending but at bruce's struggle to climb and then the doc said, go without the rope so you can really deal with that fear

An exchange of opinions and ideas, not being told in multiple different ways that I'm "spoiling the fun", or that I act like my word is "gospel' like a priest preaching in front of a strip club. Why did you like the movie? What about it? What speaks to you? If I'm wrong explain to me why you think so, don't just tell me that I'm wrong in as many different ways as you can think of without backing it up.

For example I would except the idea that sombody maybe really liked the John Blake character. Joseph Gordon-Levitt was really good and the idea that you take all these aspects and background details from multiple existing characters and combine them into one person might be something that could be argued as being a really cool idea.

I cried not at the ending but at bruce's struggle to climb and then the doc said, go without the rope so you can really deal with that fear

Which is something that just had to be said out loud in case the audience couldn't understand Symbolism. I was actually enjoying that part until Nolan had to go and make it so obvious.

It wasn't so much how she reacted to him but how he allowed their friendship (if you call it that, it certainly doesn't feel adversarial) to be rekindled. But then again, I didn't have that big a problem with it and it was someting I was willing to let slide because by that point, everything's at stake and you only have so few people to trust on doing a good job (because whether or not they'll DO that job is different layer of trust altogether)

See, I almost cried when Alfred was at the graves but the climbing out the pit was non-emotional because I knew he would succeed. There was no suspense for me. I think it would have been more interesting to see Bruce have to be more inventive to escape or something.

The whole "believe in yourself and use true fear to win" was just meh.
