Neither is the rest of Gotham.

Bruce Wayne leaves for years in BB, comes back and Batman shows up.

Bruce Wayne becomes a desolate hermit post TDK, Batman disappears completely until TDKR, Bruce Wayne is spotted in the public again, Batman shows up again.

This doesn't bother me as much as the fact that Batman is flying in around in obviously super expensive custom aircraft.

I mean I don't know who Batman really is but he must have a lot of money. Hmmmm...

That's what I said. He was saying he thought there was a second time it was mentioned, possibly explicitly, that five months had gone by. I think if you miss Bane saying how long the reactor is stable for, you miss your only chance of knowing five months goes by.

Damnit no, it was explicitally said later in the film.
 
Nolan definitely stepped his shit up for this film, much less flawed than TDK IMO

While watching the fight scene between Batman and Bane in the sewers made me think how much progress Nolan has made with these movies. such a gorgeous fight scene to look at..

And I am also one of those people who could not understand some of Banes lines. I don't have hearing difficulties, but I find myself reading lips often.. I thought the sound editing for Bane's voice was a little over the top, especially in the plane sequence, but it's a cool idea and i haven't seen it done before

I wanted to post my thoughts on the Bane/Talia relationship from a convo I had with my bro. Just curious to get feedback, see if there is anything I forgot that might make it incorrect.

I took them more as partners and likely lovers. People seem to think Bane was her bitch. I assume he was a caretaker, then a strong influence on her life, and then they took over the League together and he agreed to help when Ra's got killed. I assume the plan was putting their heads together, so you don't take the aspect of Bane being just as smart as Bats but physically his superior.

I still have a problem with her coopting his origin, because it neuters the I was born in the shadows line. But that can be worked around in various ways.

Isn't it possible they were both born there? He was born first, knew how difficult it was, and that's why he became her protector?
 
By the way, as much as I love the first Batman/Bane fight scene, I disgaree with pretty much everybody here that it had the best fight choreography of the franchise. That belongs to the Begins sword fight on ice.
 
Here's one thing I give this movie over The Dark Knight: You can actually hear what people say in this movie. TDK's voices were too low volume. Very hard to hear.

I don't not believe you or believe you. I didn't catch it, and you can't remember when exactly. So someone else will have to chime in.

There was another scene near the end when the soldiers show up and ask about the trapped cops and someone says something like "you mean the cops trapped for three months" and this was around when they had another month or so left because Luscious goes on to say something like 23 days left before the bomb blows up anyway.
 
Loved TDK, so I intentionally tried not to get too pumped for this movie. I actually ended up really enjoying it. Bane was so over the top but in a good way.

Better cinematography? Perhaps. Better choreography? Heeeeell no!
 
You know what would've been neat? After throwing his little smoke pellets at Bane and getting no reaction while on his back during the beat down scene, Bruce should have tried to use his grappling hook to get to a higher area only to have Bane give him a football tackle in midair and cause him to go crashing down.

Yeah!

Maybe for choreography, but not for context. The BB fight is just a training run. In the Bane fight you feel the weight of what's at stake, and the despair of Batman losing. That's what makes it great.

Ahhh. I do remember that. It was Franco.
 
I want a hi res poster of Bane, holding his straps like he was on the other side of the catwalk at the start of his Hell In The Cell match with Batman.

That pose was the epitome of LIKE A BAWSS.

I think I'll like this with more viewings. That one scene with what felt like a really long, meaty Bane monologue where he's talking to the inmates was great.

Yeah, all I'm talking about is choreography. Definitely not narrative context.

I have actual favourite moments in that action exchange, like Bruce sliding across the ice to pick up his sword and parry.

Hey, did Ghul need to drive the truck with the bomb in it in order to flood the chamber? Was there a console in the truck that she needed? She could have flooded that chamber earlier and saved herself from dying, right? Damn, I've had too many...
Click to expand...

That is important to you? Really that! Executives had control of the chamber so there are a myriad amount of ways she could have done it.

And JGL knew where to go b/c that's where the kid's body was found near the start of the movie.

How would you make that connection though? He didnt know where Gordon was or that he had tried to escape. Did they even know he had been taken hostage or survived that gunfight and explosion?
 
Does anyone else feel like this third film won't add anything to Batman's mythos? It seems to only take characters/plots and transplant them onto film. Catwoman's headgear being her ears and maybe Bane's mask are the only thing I can see the comic's ever adapting.

The first film established a realism to Batman (the batmobile is probably the best example of this). The second film really perfected the Joker. The third film had some cool cat ears.

I wanna punch you and everyone else asking these lame ass "why" questions.

No offense or anything, <3
Click to expand...

Ok.

But it's like, if Batman started carrying a bow and arrow or something, wouldn't you want to know the reason? What is Selena using those goggles for? Style?

They aren't important questions but no reason they can't be asked.
 
I actually found the news scene of the spec ops guys hanging from the bridge pretty fucking chilling. Good god.

Bane being more of a tragic character (as terrible as he is). I could seeing that becoming a thing in bat books. Especially since DC just rebooted it right?

No but he found it suspicious, then asked the deceased's younger brother about it, who said there was an army underground who this dead kid might be working for, and then because he's a good copy put two and two together.

He didn't expect Gordon to be there, he knew it would be an entrance to the sewers, and I guess it was close by?

Really? I don't even consider that a memorable fight. The dialogue takes precedent in that scene.

I know you don't understand it either, just calm down and we can figure this out together.

She was probably feeling desperate enough to take matters into her own hands, cracking under the pressure of the situation, but not anticipating that Batman would fire his Batpod guns at her and the driver. Flooding the chamber must have been something she forgot about until her last moment.
