Is that Batman posing for a nice front page photo?


8 years seems really long especially with that line about Batman recovering physically.

I like the 8 year jump, I don't really like the idea that there hasn't been a Batman in that 8 years. Seems weird. So throughout his entire career he fought the mob, Ras and Scarecrow, Joker, and Bane and Catwoman. I don't know. I would have prefered it be left open that he had just been fighting crime for 8 years. Sure it will play out awesome in the movie though.
 
SUPER SPOILER (I'm serious):
Talia Al Ghul

Yeah, I'm aware of her, but it seems odd to mention it in the synopsis. Talia isn't going to inspire Batman to return? If that's who the synopsis is referring to, it kinda gives something away.

Maybe they figure most people will take it as them referring to Catwoman.
 
I've rationalized just about everyone's outfit in this movie, but I can't figure out why the hell Catwoman looks like that.

It doesn't hide her face. It doesn't protect her from anything.

Why does she wear a mask?

Don't the 'ears' come down over her mask turning them into NVG?

Yeah, and I suppose if she needed to hide her face all she had to do was slide them in place, haha

I think the answer to Speevy's question is the reason the press releases call her "Selina Kyle", rather than Catwoman. She's probably a known asset; no secret identity. Maybe no one will actually call her Catwoman, but if they do I bet it'll just be a nickname, rather than an alias.
 
Your odds are a little low. It's 100% confirmed, zero chances it's not real.

Also, this thread is fucked with unmarked spoilers at this point. Burn it down.

The .000000001 percent reflects the odds that the film somehow never comes out, haha.

As for the spoilers, I think most of it's speculatory. Hard to tell the difference though, since the line between what's been officially released has become blurred.
 
Does speculation count as spoilers if it is speculation that is 99.9% likely what will happen in the movie or does it remain speculation and fine to go un-marked? A lot of what is being said is speculation but I mean no one really doubts stuff like
Catwoman fighting Talia in a "cat fight"
isn't going to happen.

Yeah, it hasn't been confirmed by the studio or anything. But,
the little girl playing the young talia has confirmed it, plus the studio confirmation of Neeson being in it, plus the on set photos of her in an odd costume getting out of a tumbler with armed soldiers with her all equals Talia. Too bad it's out cause I expect it was supposed to be the one major plot twist in the movie. All that's left is wondering if Batman dies.

Oh yah, I know that's a sure thing; that's not what I meant. The point I was making was more-so in agreement with what you were saying about unmarked spoilers. I was referring to the fact that a lot of people ITT, including me probably, are speculating about certain things and leaving our comments unmarked (since it's only speculation). The problem is, a lot of our speculation is based off of stuff that spoiler-sensitive people would probably freak out over. It's hard to know where to draw the line.

Maybe if WB would released some new official footage, it would make actually discussing the film a bit easier, without resorting to a wall of blacked out text, lol.

Also, since we're ranking, my guess would be this:

TDK>TDKR>BB.

I'm sure I'll love the new film, maybe even more than TDK. Regardless, I feel like it's a safe bet that I'll prefer both of the sequels over Begins, as great as it is. A lot of people on GAF seem to prefer the original..they're not really even in the same ballpark for me.

Any word on how long this movie is? I hope it's loooooong. I hate when a good thing ends :(

Two conflicting reports. Variety's news editor heard from his sources that it's "just" over two hours. Then there's Gilberg, a trusted poster on Super Hero Hype who's somehow connected with WB; he's been posting accurate information since Batman Begins days (lol, I know). According to him, the cut Nolan showed to studio brass was closer to three hours than two.

My theory? Variety's source was probably just some studio guy recalling a vague impression of how long it was a day or so after watching it, rather than relaying an exact figure. Sort of like when Leo said Inception was "around two hours". The final film was two and a half.

TL;DR? Probably 160ish minutes. Maybe a bit less.
 
So we're playing the speculative ranking game?

BB > TDKR > TDK

Rises would need to have some serious fucking issues for me to not put it over TDK. And it would also need to really fucking floor me for me to put it over BB.
