The Dark Knight Rises Unsafe (?) Hype Thread |5 Spoiled, 2 Of Them Mods!|

It looks like the TV marketing campaign has started in the UK, just now on the E4 channel TDKR logo popped up three times and on the third it had the slogan "the legend ends".

Excited!!!!!!
 
If it wasn't for people posting again and again about how "DEMS SPOILERS AFOOT", this thread would be dead. There's like no meaningful discussion going on. I'm literally afraid to post about anything pertaining to the film at all for fear of waking up with Sculli hovering over me declaring that my punishment must be more severe.

I think Solo had the best idea with his non-spoiler thread. I'm glad it's getting a bit more attention the closer the film gets. This is the internet; why wouldn't people be dissecting set pictures, and the like? I'm pretty sure I know literally everything there is to know about the film right now, leaks and all, which is practically next to nothing. Seriously, they've done a great job hiding shit. I also kind of think some of those set pictures are red herrings in terms of what people have inferred from them. If someone says they know in any degree of detail what TDKR is about, then they're flat out lying.

Edit:

I should add that when I say "why shouldn't people be dissecting set pictures", what I mean is that it's going to happen whether people try and police it or not. Stick to the non-spoiler thread if you don't want someone to accidentally spoil something for you! Even if everything is black-barred, everyone knows it's hard to resist peeking.
 
I don't understand how people find it cool to post spoilers straight up in the open like, anywhere on the Internet where you're not discussing a finished product specifically. It's beyond my comprehension how that's cool to do. There are in fact some things people just don't want to know. This thread, you can discuss spoilers casually if it comes up pertaining to something relevant ( behind black bars), and MAYBE if you're unsure of some shit you can introduce it, but this thread started going off the rails when we started acknowledging the novelization existed for some reason and people started to think they could toss up whatever they wanted if it was behind a link and not all that vaguely described.

Y'all need to calm the fuck down and use common sense. This is a thread for people who know somethings, but the shit is not universally agreed upon that they want to know everything.

Majority of the set pictures were posted here no problem. But if there are some obvious spoilers they were marked. Dissecting pictures, speculation, and anything shown in the commercials and trailers is different than outright talking about the plot and surprises. Hell I have speculated all the different directions the movie can go in and what I would like to see. That is different than outright posting what is exactly going to happen.

You might know next to nothing from the pictures but some posters here know everything about the movie because they don't care about spoilers and have already spoiled the movie for themselves. We just don't want those things mentioned without tags.

To me you don't accidentally spoil something. If you know its a secret or something unknown that hasn't been a part of the marketing and you come here to tell everyone just spoiler tag it! And resisting the peek is up-to the individual then.

The fact that Marion's role hasn't been revealed and its being speculated on means the movie intends for that to be a surprise, whatever it is. To have someone just spoil it would be pretty rude.

It would be safer to join the non spoilers thread but no one posts there and certainly no news pertaining to the movie gets posted there.

Yupp, you're right. Anything regarding her, even speculation at this point, should be considered a huge spoiler. Same with JGL. I didn't realize people were posting unmarked spoilers about them..

Please don't take my post as a defense of that! I was just speaking more generally.

It hasn't? I could have sworn there was a press release from over a year ago announcing that she was playing Miranda Tate. Anything else is speculation.

Well there was also a bit about her
being a Wayne Enterprises board member who is there to 'help Bruce'.

The above was officially released but I've spoilered it anyway.

I wouldn't be so sure about that, or any other rumours.

I was spoiled, and it pissed me off to no end.

Yeah you got me I must be new to reading!

Been following the official threads since day 1 and for the most part people have been damn good and respectful by discussing spoilers in only spoiler tag. The reason the thread title was even changed was to warn people that some jackasses started posting spoilers without the proper tags.

I don't care if people post spoilers, so long as its marked so for the rest of us who still come to this thread for general news about the movie can still read without being spoiled. There is a non spoiler thread but it never took off and it never has any discussion in it. All the new stuff, posters, teasers, commercials, and trailers are posted here. Along with interviews and whatever else.

Its really not asking for much for people to put spoiler tags.

And I think I'll pull a Sculli too!

Bruce Wayne is Batman!


The movies is coming out in about two months, and your still reading a thread about it. You don't want to be spoiled, what exactly are you expecting to come across in this thread?

You mean to tell me all this thread or any movie threads have are spoilers?

No discussion on the past two movies, general speculation, new stuff like posters?

What am I expecting? Nothing really aside from people not posting spoilers by accident, whatever that means.

You are the one making this an issue. Its well understood concept. Don't post spoilers unmarked. Its been so for every movie thread that is closely and largely followed on GAF. If this was based on a book everyone has read than ok but it isn't.

Better question why do you or anyone feel the need to post spoilers without tagging them when you know not everyone wants to know everything before hand.

Case in point. All we should know is that she plays Miranda Tate and I don't even know if she has a separate dual role. But at least one unmarked spoiler leads you to believe something else.

I still remember some jackass spoiled Inception's ending by just asking "WHAT DID YOU GUYS THINK WAS IT A DREAM?"

lol, well yeah, that's Miranda's character description. I don't think that can be considered a spoiler.

Look at the thread title, that's your warning. I'm not making an issue, I just find it funny that people have titty attacks over spoilers when they are actively seeking out discussion for the thing involved. Go start a "spoiler free" thread if you want to talk about how awesome the non-descript theater poster is.

Anytime I want to be "spoiler free" I stay away from anything and everything related.

Posting a batman spoiler in random thread is assholeish. Posting a batman spoiler in a thread about batman that says "Unsafe (?)...Spoiled" isn't.

(Sorry I ruined the fact that Bruce Wayne is Batman for you).

We've just been informed that there will be no midnight shows of 'The Dark Knight Rises' at the request of Warner. This is because the film is opening as a day-and-date release with the US. The first permitted shows are midnight on Fri 20th July in the US, which because of the time zone makes that about 5am here. We won't be doing 5am shows, but hope to have booking available soon :)

Suck it down, UK. Gotta wait for us!

I really don't care what you think since you don't seem to get it. The main Prometheus thread had discussion on it forever until people started posting spoilers and if anything a separate spoilers thread was opened for those people who couldn't help but to spoil it or had seen it out side the US.

This thread didn't start as a spoilers thread. The stupid kids book was released and all of a sudden people started posting spoilers unmarked or un-tagged.

I am not going to start a spoiler free thread when A. one already exists and B. no one from batgaf posts in it. All the new information, like even the midnight shows or marathons, gets posted in here. So people don't just come to this thread to read spoilers. There is a shit ton of discussion and other material posted here.

The only request is to mark the spoiler. No one even said don't post spoilers. Just mark or tag them. Its the norm and been the norm for years now. Not just bat-gaf but any movie thread.

Telling me over and over that Bruce is Batman is neither clever or funny. But yeah keep it at it! The only reason the title was even changed was to warn the regulars who check this thread out that some jackasses are posting spoilers now. Not to tell people to stop visiting this thread. But to be careful.
