I always loved that scream. Shit sounds real. I'd imagine I'd scream like that if someone tasered me in the face.

Just got back from seeing this at the drive in. Thought it was pretty good but Bane's mask didn't make any sense other than acting as a ridiculously transparent way to Darth vader-ify him. Also the prison scenes were a bore. Of course he's going to fucking get out.
The sewer fight is the best scene in the trilogy.

Movie was excellent. I still think Dark Knight is better but it's a solid third film and very consistent with the other two movies.
Now a couple of thoughts:
I suspected JGL was Robin a few minutes into the film.
I knew Talia was doing some dirt but I had forgotten Ra's had a daughter.
Loved the Alfred scenes but Michael Cane is a terrible cryer. Him getting misty eyed during the scene where he's leaving was fine but the crying at the funeral was bad.
Tom Hardy seemed to have a lot of fun as Bane. Loved his speech when he took over the city. He really gave it his all during that scene and was chilling.
Scarecrow showing up as the judge was a nice surprise, wasn't expecting that at all. So besides the main cast he's the only one that shows up in all three films. Neat.
I have to be honest and say I was never a fan of the vehicle designs in these movies. The "Bat" is no different. I didnt lie it. For a man who's main tactic is stealthy and shadows, he rolls around in bulky ass tanks which seems weird. Before you say it, yes I do realize the vehicles were originally designed by Fox for the military.

I forgot about the hanging in the Dark Knight. That was surprise shock and morbid shock. This one certainly had the morbid factor going, though.

The only point in the entire trilogy I felt so fucking bad for Bruce/Batman. Holy shit that was brutal.

Indeed, it can be hard to use your imagination sometimes. No worries.
It only just hit me how much TDKR informs Ras' backstory. Not just about him talking about his great love, but his whole mentality about having the will to act.
Your parents' death was not your fault. It was your fathers'. Anger does not change the fact that your father failed to act!
He's talking about himself.Ras failed to act to save his wife and child.

Some puzzling questions:
What in the high fallutin heavens was the blood transfusion for from poor Dr. Pavel to the "iced" (asleep? dead?) man in the body bag during the escape from the plane at the start? [/B]The film never returns to that incident or mentions it again. Odd is the least to describe it. Perhaps it was venom related?
Regarding Dr. Pavel, why did he so willingly and idiotically collaborate with Bane? No reason was ever given, and his quick end precluded any further discussion.
Is the US military and intelligence apparatus so incompetent as to unable to penetrate and take over such a small island, especially with its overwhelming cybernetic, satellite, and aerial power at hand ( a la the Bat VTOL)? Not to mention having the jamming technology to prevent the bomb from going off in the first place (Lucius Fox cannot be the only one who can build and operate that device! )

Does it really seem impossible that she could find her father?
The movie doesn't need to explain everything in great detail.

Bane makes The Dark Knight's villain look like a clown.
Also, shame the movie had a couple unnecessary elements at the end. Could've been a much nicer package.

IMO Bane lacks a personality that parallels Batman. Ra's has the whole student-mentor thing. Scarecrow encompasses fear. Two-Face is 1/2 friend, 1/2 evil. The Joker is Batmans exact opposite.
Then you have Bane. He is literally just physically stronger and thus is the only man to "break the bat". It's a cool title but he's just the ultimate goon really. Atleast Talia was the daughter of Ra.

Its a movie about a guy running around in a costume fighting terrorist who want to blow up some fictional city.

He had a final scene...
"You will just have to imagine the fire!" And then takes a propelled grenade (or two) to the chest... it was an extremely fitting way to do away with him if you ask me. I don't know why anyone would want a character like Bane to go out as he lies on the ground whispering sweet nothings to Talia or something.

Ours was set to a piece of LOTR music and it did not fit at all. I think it was Crowe?

I think a nice touch I caught was when Catwoman went to put up her goggles after she blew up the blockade in front of the bridge, the goggle lenses were red. Anyone else catch this?
What? So, I appreciate the little things. We cant all talk about big things like the ending.

to make the cia think he's dead maybe?
I hate when movies leave holes in the plot but really dude? Your not asking for a movie to make sense you are asking someone to chew your food for you. How hard is it to imagine she asked around for the mercenarys whereabouts?

I think they were giving the dead body the Dr.'s blood to make it look like him.
Fear of death? Too bad it ended in death. :'(
The US military doesn't have bad ass tumblers or VTOLs either. Should have paid Wayne Ent. for those sweet toys.
Yeah, it was a little over-the-top. I heard a fair number of groans at my screening.

Btw, where the heck was that cave? Didn't look anywhere near America, but sure seemed like Bane was able to casually drop Bruce off there. And once he got out how did he make it back to Gotham? But then again this is the part where the movie skips ahead 5 months without any warning.

It's really just a big stretch of believability more than being nonsensical. Maybe her mother gave her clues on how to find him. Who knows. All that matters is that we are told she did find him. It was a problem my brother had as well, didn't bother me really.
She never met him before. He left before she was born. He didn't even know she was born in the dungeon.
He wasn't even Ras al Ghul back then, just a mercenary. So she doesn't know anything about him.
So how is a basically nameless 6 year old who escaped a dungeon in a random foreign country supposed to find someone she has never met or knows nothing about?

He's TOFTS at the end of TDKR.
I get it's not his only reason for stopping, but when you have Bruce Wayne -- the Batman; the man that started it all; the man that swore he'd dedicate his life to fighting injustice, no matter the cost -- throw in the towel after only ~2 years of active Bat-duty... It really cheapens Bruce as a character, in my eyes.
If it was shown that during those 8 years, only Bruce Wayne turned into a recluse and that Batman was still active, I'd have no problem with it.

People still go to the drive-in?!
Sitting on a subwoofer on a beautiful night is a great way to see an action movie and more people should get out there and support the ones that do still exist.
I wanted to add that the plot of this film completely makes the second film irrelevant. Aside from Dent there is no connection to that movie. Not that I'm complaining. I'm glad e got a real sequel to the superior Batman begins story.
So good!

I think that was to fake Pavels death? The blood would be tested and Pavel's death would be believed?
They threatened his family. Bane explicitly mentions this in the football stadium or reactor room. I forget which.
Bane threatens detonation of the bomb id anything is done, the military are paralysed. Also, no-one even knows the device exists! It was built in secret by Wayne Enterprises.
How is this liar not banned yet?

Bodies get very pulpy in plane crash, identified by DNA. Pavel's DNA was in the corpse through transfusion. Other guy got left because they expected one prisoner to be on board.
He is a coward. He thought he would live- there is a line about his children, right? I presume he was promised he couldgo home.
They believed the threats. The immediate danger of anarchy was less than the threat of the nuke, so take it slow and hope something can happen. They did send in agents, as you recall, with the intent of taking the bomb down.

Pavel's wife and child were threatened. So he cooperated
What? Fox has "the big job" in TDK too. He's still the head of the company, the one doing the negotiations with the Chinese dude. He just also is still secretly making new stuff for Bruce, in both TDK and TDKR.
