I mean, he can't remove the faceplate without agony, right? And they suggest he's seriously disfigured under there, I wonder if he even really has a mouth anymore.

and became a recluse because of the energy thing.
Hm. I guess that makes more sense. It could work either way but I prefer the notion that they are stuck down there with freedom being in their grasp but not.

probably posted a million times, but I enjoyed this http://redlettermedia.com/half-in-the-bag-the-dark-knight-rises/
I caught 2 scenes from trailers that weren't in the movie:
- a shot of Bruce in the prison where the camera is tracking behind him and then he opens a door and walks out of frame to the left
- Alfred's dialogue about promising to take care of Bruce and failing
Anyone got anything else?

this isn't actually one, but for a while I thought he'd cut the "what are they chanting?" line and I couldn't believe it. That moment was awesome.

So I'm not the only one who noticed it wasn't in the movie.

I've mentioned it at least twice already but I'll just keep bringing it up because it's so awesome: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4v1hAnfy1I
I said they were doing it in fun!
Those were some of my favorites.
Or are you still mad about the Canadian thing?
- did JGL ever bust through the door with his shoulder holding the shotgun? I don't remember seeing that.
- "I'm retired"
This was the first thing I asked my friend after seeing the movie. "Why is he asking what they are chanting after sitting in that prison for like 4.5 months? They've probably been chanting that shit every day he's been down there!"
I can confirm that shot WAS in the movie.
He kind of said it at the end to his parents... kind of.
Because the timeline of the last act was a terribad choice. Five months, really?
:lol, I thought the exact same thing.
Both of those were in the movie. The first was when Blake was going to rescue Gordon.
Damn, you're hating on absolutely fucking everything. 7/10 though right?

ignore him.
Definitely. Probably a couple times. Waiting a week or so though before my second viewing. Still letting the initial feeling set in. You only get one first viewing, and with these big spectacle pictures, I like to let that marinate a bit first. The second viewing is never quite the same.
After the police got trapped in the tunnels, when the two assassins went after Gordon in the hospital with machine guns. JGL had a shotgun and was trying to get there to save him (barging a hospital door open with his shoulder as he went down one of it's corridors) but Gordon didn't need any help.

I remember reading a spoiler by accident (during the filming days) that Blake got shot in the head during a scene. Glad it wasn't true. I could see how someone seeing the "gun to head and then fall down the crater scene" from a distance might think that, though.
Which is a bad-ass non-scene for Gordon.
Saw the movie on friday. I thought it was completely average. Good in some parts, terrible in others. Sad end to a promising trilogy.
By the way what's everyone's opinion on the three villians of the movie namely ras al ghul, the joker and bane. who was the most terrifying and who was the most clever?

Completely agreed. Let's hope you don't do a TDK and cool on the film :lol
Seeing it again tomorrow, fucking hyped. Been watching that Caine gif and replaying the music in my head
damn gurl
i've never seen seinfeld
The choice of drawing out the quarantine of Gotham to be five months was a bad choice. It doesn't make any sense and the way the movie was cut made it seem like a week.
So Bane and Talia sit on the bomb for five months doing nothing, lie about the bomb detonator for reasons nobody can understand, and Batman arrives the day the bomb will go off anyway, so at that point they decide to press the detonator. The cops, who are trapped underground for five months, emerge in full clean uniform, and decide to have like a West Side Story type rumble against the thugs? The five month thing leads to a bunch of problems like why would Bruce ask about the chant five months later. It's just sloppy. It's like that one scene in X3 where they attack Alcatraz in daylight and then all of a sudden it's nighttime for dramatic effect.
I found bane to be the most terrifying overall. That speed, that ferocity.
I remember thinking to myself "holy shit" when I saw him do that fucking barrage of punches when batman was backed up against a pillar, they looked so fast to me, but seeing a gif of it it turns out they actually weren't...
First hour to hour and a half of this movie was the most smooth, well put together of the entire trilogy to me. Everything was just working for me. Bruce and Alfred's talks, Selina ( Hathaway really surprised me here ) the interactions between Batman and Selina. just all of it worked up to and a little after the breaking of his back.

During the final street battle, one of Batman's commandeered Tumbler's goes up the steps of a building and crashes.
They sit on the bomb for five months so that Bruce can watch the city tear itself apart. They decide to press the detonator when Bruce returns for that exact reason. It's why they have a detonator in the first place: so that if anyone tries to move on them and diffuse the bomb before it'll decay, they can just blow it up anyway. This was pretty clearly explained in the movie.

So Gothamites live in fear that someone will press it and the police are distracted looking for a triggerman[/quote]
Creates drama like every action film ever
Were being given supplies and I can only assume clean uniforms yet I don't need to see JGL at the dry cleaners reading a paper to work that out.
And a fair few of them got shot down. They didn't have weapons, they're hyped up on adrenaline after seeing Batman return, and it's a naive move. But it works. It gets them into close quarters where the mercs aren't going to fire their weapons into crowds.
In some ways, each of them were the most terrifying and clever.
Rhas was terrifying because his single most honed skill was his charm. This is a man I would liken to a cult leader. Able to influence men and the course of events with nothing more than his voice, his abilities as a teacher and mentor, and his ideologies. He was clever because not only was his plan to use Gotham's favorite son as his tool of destruction, he was also wily enough to fool Bruce with theatricality and deception into believing he was merely Ducard.
The Joker was terrifying because he had no moral code and there was no line he wouldn't cross. He would kill anyone to prove a point. He also had the ability to put fear into any who would oppose him and took over Gotham's underworld in no time. As for his cleverness, one need look no further than his bevy of plans that could have only been hatched and executed by a criminal mastermind.
Bane was terrifying not only because of his physical prowess and fighting abilities, but because of his intelligence. In one moment he could crush your skull, but in the next, he could masterfully manipulate you into doing his will and believing it was your own will. He was clever because he too used theatricality and deception to great effect by completely sheltering Talia from being made and keeping the focus on himself.

Yes that was so so bad. You got an army of mercs with assault rifles standing there, and 3,000 cops standing in a narrow corridor. For some reason most of the cops somehow lost most of their guns but are just holding clubs and they charge. Yet the mercs can't stop the charge with all those automatic rifles that would go through multiple officers at once?
Was such a cheesy and stupid sequence. And they show a bunch of shooting at the charge but only 3 cops seem to get hit, and a whole bunch of misses hitting the pavement in front of a wall of cops... so mercs apparently figured they can't hit shit and decide to charge the cops?
just five scenes i liked a lot, not sure the most, but they stick out to me right now:
-tdkr - ending. it was pretty obvious how the film would end during the first 45-60 minutes, but that didn't diminish it. for me, it was pitch-perfect
-batman begins - 'the will to act'. god damn that fight on the ice
-tdk - 'and i thought my jokes were bad'. i love the heist at the beginning of the movie, but this was arguably a stronger reveal for the character. it was great seeing the joker being the joker in his first full scene with dialogue.
-tdk - aftermath of the final fight with the joker. kinda anti-climactic, especially given what happens with harvey afterwards, but if the series had ended here, with the idea that the joker always comes back somehow would have been great. i love everything from joker's maniacal laugh as he plummets over the edge of the building, to his disappointment to when he's saved, and then his upside-down/rightside-up speech.
-tdkr - gordon lighting the fuse. it leads to probably the most comic booky part of the whole series, but it was done with so much love. the bat signal being the fire on the bridge, to bane's, 'impossible!' made me feel that batman was back more than the return earlier in the film with the car chase.

They explain the 5-months things, both from the bomb and Bane's point of view.
He wants to give the people of Gotham "hope" before he rips it away from them. Sure 5 months may have been a long time, but whatever.
The detonator was clearly a red herring to allow the people of Gotham to turn against each other.. and he did give it to someone!
I thought the cops were busted out at night.. and the climax took place the next morning.. they got time to change
heh, I never thought about it like that before.
he wanted them to install an autopilot or eject feature in it, and they told him it had been done six months prior (as in, when fox told wayne a less busy mind might be able to make adjustments to the bat).
