In Nolan we trust.

Bane is looking better than I expected and really surprised about what they're turning Venom into. Also guess that troll from earlier saying that the preview started off directly from DK is false.

I fucking love how they're tieing all three movies together. They're bringing back the Dent plotpoint and also League of Shadows from the first movie.

I don't know about the validity of the leak, but Begins played around with flashbacks and TDKR could do the same. I could see something like Rachel's funeral opening the movie and showing us why Bruce disappeared before leaping to Bane-time.
 
Actually, Ghost Protocol IMAX hits theaters on the 16th, so it is same day.

Oh man... Ghost Protocol, it is! :D

Oh and the spoiler about the time between TDK and TDKR: does it semi-confirms that fan-jizzed rumor about what's going to be shown in prologue?

Batman being 'broken' by Bane, and going into Haitus for eight years! LOL

Probably not.

I don't believe Batman is in hiatus
 
From the Empire interview:

Nolan on the time between TDK and TDKR:
"Our story picks up eight years after The Dark Knight".

On the prologue:
"The Prologue is basically the first six, seven minutes of the film. Its the introduction to Bane and a taste of the rest of the film. With Bane we are looking to give Batman a physical challenge that he hasn't had before"

Lindy Hemming (costume designer) on Bane's mask:
"He was injured early in his story. Hes suffering from pain and he needs gas to survive. He cannot survive the pain without the mask. The pipes from the mask go back along his jawline and feed into the thing at the back where there are two cannisters of what ever it is..the anasthetic"

Read that first spoiler, I wish I didn't. My hype has increased.
 
Will the trailer play in front of Ghost Protocol as well? Or will one have to see both films to see the Prologue and trailer?


Trailer will definitely be attached to Sherlock Holmes. Possibly to non IMAX MI4.

But IMAX MI4 will have the prologue/6 minute footage.
 
I dunno, the dialogue from the teaser makes me think otherwise.

My guess is that
Bruce leaves Gotham with Batman thought of as a monster, combined with Dent's death it galvanises the city just like the murder of the Waynes did. Obviously Bane wants to stop that and that's why he turns up, to finish Ra's work from Begins.
 
Not a particularly impressive call, but I totally (kind of) called it.

I really do wonder what's up with the white streaks in his hair. He's certainly not old enough going by the movie's timeline to be going white.
A possible epilogue scene? Or perhaps the entire movie is quite a few years into the future?
 
A guy on SHH posted this:

Reading the Empire set report right now, and it's good stuff. Tom Hardy's telling a story about carefully blocking out
the big Wall Street
fight scene beforehand, and knowing who he's supposed to hit, when, and how. But then amidst the crowd, he lost track of the stuntmen, and had to just start grabbing random extras and clobbering them, making note to apologise later.

:lol
 
Nolan on Bruce's story:

"It's really all about finishing Batman and Bruce Wayne's story. We left him in a very precarious place. Perhaps surprisingly for some people, our story picks up quite a bit later, eight years after The Dark Knight. So he's an older Bruce Wayne; he's not in a great state.

"The world of Batman, indeed the world of all graphic novels, deals with archetypes," he says, "And there's a very real sense in which The Joker is an extreme and an absolute and Batman is an extreme and an absolute. So whe you're looking to continue the story - in this case finish Bruce Wayne and Batman's story, as we see it - then you certainly don't want a watered-down version of a character you've already done. You want a different archetype. What Bane represents in the comics is the ultimate physical villain."

Hardy on Bane:

"He's brutal. Brutal. He's a big dude who's incredibly clinical, in the fact that he has a result-based and oriented fighting style. It's not about fighting. It's about carnage. The style is heavy-handed, heavy-footed, it's nasty. Anything from small-joint manipulation to crushing skulls, crushing rib cages, stamping on shins and knees and necks and collarbones and snapping heads off and tearing his fists through chests, ripping out spinal columns. He is a terrorist in mentality as well as brutal action."

I digress, if you can do all that shit why would you need venom

Add in the fact that if he has two tanks of anesthetic on his back, he is not feeling any pain no matter what you hit him with it makes him nasty.

Whoa!
Then again, that is just about as long as it has been since BB. Had to make the technological leap at some point.

Bane looks fucking great under the darker lighting.

Hardy on Bane:

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTT
 
I didn't read all the EMPIRE snippets but I assume if Nolan himself mentioning these things they aren't major spoilers?

I did read about the 6 min footage and
I am glad it serves just as the introduction to Bane. More so than the Joker or Catwoman, Bane needs an amazing introduction/opening scene to get people to know about him and get hyped.


Just wish its as good or better as the bank heist scene from TDK.
 
Hmmm...improvement.

So this will presumably be similar to how he'll look in the final film, after post-production.

I like it.
 
bane is a lame villain

sorry guys

at least they could have made him the super-intelligent hispanic convict

Instead he's a super intelligent and super violent white convict? (Still dunno about the convict part, but looking at the guy, I think he may have been caught underage smoking in his time or something, you know?)

Bane confirmed DLC character for Mortal Kombat.
 
No way this film
isn't going to be R rated. Or at least, I hope they get away with it somehow if it isn't..
 
It's going to be rated G as a cautionary tale to little kids to not fuck with Bane.

lmao

intro should be alfred just sobbing about how much he's afraid of Bane because his head reminds him of a tangerine.

There is no way in hell this will be anything but PG-13. I would bet you any amount of money.

I know.
I am just wondering how they are going to get away with ANY of that.

It will probably be mentioned somewhere in the film as something he has done. Then again, Star Wars managed to show a decapitation, and a bunch of the stuff Joker did in TDK made it into the film because of the camera angle.

I agree since Nolan gets what he wants but
how is he going to rip out a spinal column out of a guy's chest
. That would be lame if it was just soundwork.
