Cinema is an evolution of plays at the theater which feature clapping.

Why is it odd to feature clapping of a filmed movie?

The clapping is for the actors, the scene, and the director. I see nothing wrong with it.
Recorded music is an evolution of live performance, do you clap to music you listen to at home?
 
Every single midnight release I have been to people have clapped. Your clapping not at the screen but with the other people in the theater.
 
Oh yeah, that Scarecrow cameo really bothered me and felt 100% out of place. If you're going to have him come back, give him something to do, and don't turn an excellent villain into some useless joke. Scarecrow should have been in that prison (as punishment by Bane for not succeeding with the League of Shadows).
 
The vision doesn't tell him Bane is his son as far as I remember, it tells him, he was the mercenary. Bruce already thought he knew Bane was the kid.

The vision doesn't say it outright, but it does make him think that the child, which he already thought was Bane, was also his son.
Prior to that, he just thought the kid was Bane, nothing more. He knew that Bane was in the League, and that he was "born" in the dark, the pit. Once his mind figures out Ras was the mercenary, the rest falls into place for him, or so he thinks.
 
People clap on a plane because they're grateful they're not fucking dead when the inescapable plane in a sky lands safely on ground.

I don't like it and have witnessed it several times, but at least I get the reasoning.
 
I think a big audience clapping for a great film is a much better reaction than everyone just morosely walking out of the theater, like some kind of funeral march.*

*Which, incidentally, is exactly what happened at the Spider-Man 3 midnight show I went to.
 
Seeing that fanart poster makes me think a Damian Wayne movie would probably be funny as hell.

Though it would probably basically be the same style of character as Hitgirl from Kick-Ass.
 
How was Batman able to walk at the end? We saw earlier he had no cartilage in his leg and needed that mechanical brace to walk. Are we to believe the prison doctor with some morphine and a rope managed to fix not only his broken back, but the leg that a modern hospital couldn't fix?
 
At least with people clapping on planes the people responsible for them not dying are there. It's still stupid because you're MUCH more likely to die in a car and nobody claps on car/bus trips.
 
This thread is slaying me. Too damn funny. BB>=TDKR>TDK for now. Line me up with the people who had TDKR elevate BB over TDK. Had my rewatch of TDKR today and one thing that really pops out on the second viewing is how many subtle hints there are that Miranda is up to something.

You can walk with no cartilage in your knees. It just hurts. Hell, there are guys in the pro sports with no cartilage in their knees!

I totally suspected her during the movie, and then they relieved that Ra's Al Ghul had a child, and yet I somehow didn't put two and two together.
 
Kinda bugs me that there is zero mention of Joker when basically every other big character in the series got a cameo or mention.

Subtle? I thought they were dragging that out. I knew who she really was as soon as she spoke. I thought they were going to drop the charade as soon as Bane said that her taking control of Wayne Enterprises was according to plan, but then they kept dragging it out.
 
Bruce should hae gained like 60 lbs by the time TDKR rolled around. Then hes like "Fuck I can't fit into the Batsuit, Alfred." So then Batman has to get lypo and suck the fat out. But its all for not cuz his muscles have atrophied. Bruce dies from passing out on the Batcycle.
 
How did he get back into Gotham City with no cartilage in his knees?

I don't really like how they didn't explain how he got from India to Gotham when the US army and the League had sealed it off from the outside world. He had no money and no idea where he was in the world.
 
I was at the imax at the block in orange.

People clapped at the end of batman.

people clapped at the skyfall preview

people clapped/cheered when it started the Hobbit trailer.

people clapped cheered when it showed bruce and catwomen at the end.

i did all of the above.

not one cell phone or interuption throughout the whole movie.


WTF is wrong with you people hating. Are you guys really that damn unfun. It was a festive theater and those are always the most fun.

Rich folks have connections all over the world even when they become broke. Maybe he found more smugglers like in TDK and had an friend pay for them to airdrop him. Must everything be spelled out for you people?

Yes? I wouldn't have minded 5 more minutes of footage showing his journey back to Gotham.

Bruce Wayne who is Batman that is the master of prep time has every scenario planned for including getting back into Gotham.
 
Felt like that Korey dude had too much screen time. Need moar Bane. I hope the Bluray comes with more footage.

Statistically speaking, it's still the safest way to travel.

Per distance, not per time spent traveling.

I think I see what you did there

Yes, it's the audience sharing their appreciation with each other. Everyone knows the people who made the film are not there to hear it.

I find it dumb like the others. People are so corny.

There are others in here who thought it was completely out of left field. On my initial viewing I suspected she was up to something but like LakeEarth had dismissed my suspicions to the point that I was definitely caught off guard by the stab in the back. I believe the words "That bitch..." escaped my lips.
 
The whole pit thing was weird all around. Bane breaks Batman's back then carries him all the way to India to put him in a pit, then Batman climbs out and gets all the way back to Gotham somehow.

That plus the whole "jump" that only Talia and Batman could pull off are things that stand out as quite the stretch compared to the other already implausible but more reasonable parts of the movie.
 
I'm pretty confident this movie will have a Director's Cut / "Enhanced Edition" as you can tell there was some scenes missing.

Spoiling yourself before the movie and then acting holier than thou when you know spoilers has to be one of the more droll things I've read in this thread.

You're clapping at what you enjoyed seeing. Other audience members might not have enjoyed it in the middle of the movie as much as you, so all you're doing is interrupting their viewing for them.

If JGL had entered the Bat cave and the automatic defenses came on and riddled him with bullets, I wouldn't have clapped despite my elation, because it would have been inconsiderate. Clapping at the end of the film or as its about to start is fine. While the film is playing shut your fucking mouth and sit on your hands if you can't control them.

I hope so. Folks have said Nolan doesn't do that but I'd like deleted scenes for all 3 movies added to a trilogy boxset
