Goddammit. I want to see it again, but my second viewing MUST be in IMAX. Can I wait long enough for seats to become available?

You need to watch it in IMAX just for the third act

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

I assumed they were somewhere in the middle east since their chanting was in Morracan Arabic? Dunno if I have geography right on that one.

TV also had Arabic translations.


Bottom line is, Bruce getting back could take another 5 entire minutes of screentime to explain, even in a montage. Nolan trusted his audience on this one, and quite a few other times jumps, to just OT give a shit and be swept up in the real important parts of the story.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Something's arising alright.

What track on the soundtrack played during Bruce's climb out of the pit? When the prisoners were shouting Deshi Bashara (one of the best scenes in the whole trilogy).

Man, I loved that scene. I thought the whole time that Deshi Bashara was Bane's theme, but it's not at all... Bruce makes it his own kinda, I loved that.

Yeah, it was like Bruce is in sync and at times beyond the level of being fearless and powerful than Bane.

One thing I really loved is that the soundtrack foreshadowed what's going to happen. When Gordon goes to the sewers, you hear the chant at a very low volume, showing that Bane is nearby.

The sound mixing or whatever at navy pier was shit. The damn music was too intense and front-and-center. I really want to watch it again, mostly because the non IMAX shots looked so terrible.


Nola has be able to turn a superhero film into something else. This is one of my favorite trilogies. The third film isn't shit. Nolan did it!

I think the mix in general has issues. Music was too loud for me at Marq*E IMAX in Houston and some dialogue was too quiet.

 

[Tekniqs]

Did anyone else get goosebumps when blake was looking over the waterfall ?

so good

I was thinking Uncharted...Blake and Drake...coincidence? I think not

You have no choice.

 

[Banana Kid]

I loved the movie, but here's my big problem: Blake's first name being Robin was the cheesiest shit.

I was totally expecting his birth name to be Richard Grayson, but NOPE, that wasn't nearly obvious enough. Instead they had to hit you over the head with the connection.

 

[Halcyon]

I just don't see how they expect that to work without the buildup the Avengers had unless it can piggy back on the success of other franchises.

They'll not only have to use a new batman, but the batman from Nolan's universe doesn't really fit in such a group film.

Use Blake's batman. ;p

It was supposed to be cheesy, Nolan endured 7 years of Robin fans whining and then trolled them with a throwaway gag at the end. Nolan thinks Robin is lame.

 

[Imm0rt4l]

"Son, you're in for a treat"

Man I loved his return.

 

[Hero]

Bruce has contacts and like Ra's said in Begins the world is too small for a man like Bruce Wayne to disappear in.

This is what also bothered me. I can buy the movie magic mumbo jumbo about some program that makes Selina's records and info disappear for her to start over a second life. How the hell does Bruce Wayne accomplish this during the ending? Surely he's well known around the world that he can't just go out in public without someone recognizing him. At least grow the facial hair out some or dye your hair.

I was expecting his name to be Richard Grayson too

 

[Eidan]

You have no choice.

I might cave and have my second viewing be on a gen pop screen, while I reserve IMAX seats for my third viewing.

Unfortunately, the GA probably wouldn't recognize the name as well.

 

[Dany]

Robin was a small lol moment, but whatever. Since forever most people have been saying that Nolan would never have robin be in the film because it wouldn't work. But guess what, it totally did. Even without that scene with his name reveal, Blake was going to be take up the mantle anyways.

Also, I totally had the biggest grin ony face hen batman shows up in the roads underground, when the lights start flickering. Crüe music and him on his batpod was amazing. That first sequence of batman was really nice.

 

[Lion Heart]

The first time Batman rides the bike, man I had chills throughout my body. The sound overall and the score were some of the best ever imo.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

"Son, you're in for a treat"

Man I loved his return.

When the theme kicks in its just, MY GOD.


And then when the full, reborn Batman theme kicks in as he escapes the pit....LEGENDARY.

 

[TDK Rises]

How awesome was grumpy Bruce Wayne? Shooting an arrow at Selina. BAHAHAHAHHA

 

[Imm0rt4l]

I think it's more like comic book Robin, wouldn't work. He really wouldn't work at all, I welcome this interpretation though.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

I love that the batpod was used by Catwoman and not kept in the garage while Bruce flies. You can see the sheer power of its maneuvers and damage when she uses it.

 

[U n i o n 0015]

Movie was badass. Really couldn't have been a more fitting end to the series.

Tom Hardy was just sick as Bane. I loved the menacing physicality he brought to the role.

As for the ending, it makes me totally happy without needed a sequel. Your mind makes the connection that Batman (or Robin) will continue on through Blake.

Scared the fuck out of me at the theater, especially with dat IMAX sound.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

That shit will always make me jump, no matter how many times I watch this.

I agree, in this interpretation robin totally works.

Also, that ras flashback was great. Unloved he was wearing his Henri ducars suit. Total boss!

Indeed, I got goosebumps. It really helped that it took a while for batman to make his first appearance of the movie. Soo Goooood.gif

 

[jonezer4]

Yes. He is the next Batman but has the option to be nightwing/robin if Bruce does come back.

I'd be game if they booted up another trilogy and Wayne came back in a time of desperation in the final film. Two Batmans at once could be pretty kickass.

 

[Solo]

By the way, I was in India in January this year, and that fort they showed Bruce in front of after the climb, I was there! It's a pretty awesome place.

BUT DID YOU CLIMB OUT OF THE PIT?!

 

[Dany]

They can totally set up a batman beyond film from this, no?

 

[BertramCooper]

Currently, DC and WB have one single successful cinematic franchise.

It's going to be ages before a Justice League movie gets made, and there's a good chance it will never get made.

I want my Kingdom Come adaptation.

 

[Gordon0Freeman]

Debating if I should see this tonight or tomorrow for the third time, but in IMAX.

Who's in the lead so far for the most viewings?

 

[EatChildren]

Man, when Bane climes down that chain, and when he punches the concrete pillar. Those fucking arms. A monster.

 

[TDK Rises]

In my opinion the best scene in the film. "Rising" out of the pit with the theme blasting, dropping the rope was the icing on top

As snyder said, they need to get supermans house in order before they even consider justice league.

 

[Halcyon]

I have a question and I feel dumb for not understanding it. At the end the two people are talking about the missing pearls or something. Is what happened that Bruce had to give them away when he lost the fortune? Then when he was declared dead he went and stole them back? Or is that what that was about.

I read it as Bruce took them with him when he left with Selina.

Maybe he is recognized. But it would be like all those people who say Elvis and Tupac live on some island near Cuba, most won't believe it because assume he is dead

 

[Imm0rt4l]

One aspect of batman I think should be touched on is the detective aspect of batman, dat prep time batman. I feel like it would take ages for a justice league movie to get to the theaters. Maybe If Snyders superman is good WB can build a new Cohesive DC universe around it.

 

[Banana Kid]

I think it's more like comic book Robin, wouldn't work. He really wouldn't work at all, I welcome this interpretation though.

I definitely think classic Robin could work if done right, but not in the Nolanverse. The tone just wouldn't fit.

When they inevitably make that reboot in four or five years, I want them to use Robin.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

I read it as Bruce took them with him when he left with Selina.

I forgot to see if Selina was wearing them at the end, like a dumbass.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

I laughed when that cops hat flew off

Yea, I was referring to the nolanverse. a teen circus kid who lost his parents is too lulzy for nolanverse.

 

[Mobius 1]

Spectacular.

I actually welled up a couple of times during Alfred's pleas to save Bruce.

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/batman_superman_movie/
Yeah, see this? Live action this, polish the story a bit, may be putting Braniac in there so we don't get stuck with boring Luthor. Boom, World's Finest: The Movie.

 

[Dany]

She was, sure about it...

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

Damn it Guzim!



...er, Speeding.

I am the Blake of Bat-GAF, DM, you know it to be true. You're too old for this shit. Give me the keys to the Bat-Cave and ride off into the sunset with Solo.



Or DIE.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

I can only imagine how wet solo will get for those young ra's scenes on rewatch.


Watch....like I watched, solo.

 

[Future PhaZe]

Loved the scene when Bane beat the shit out of Batman and broke his back. Overall the fact that the plot was an inferior version of Arkham City was kind of silly.
