Because its looked awful since it was revealed. Im not against the idea of a Batwing, conceptually, but not like this........not like this.



That too. The Batwing or whatever its called looks weightless to me, and it really pulls me out of it. Gimme dat mass and physics.

How can you even assess this from a few seconds of movement? All we've seen it do is flip over and fly straight

That whole period was pretty awesome. I remember doing the midnight IMAX for Batman Begins, I purchased eighteen tickets for the showing.

I'm going to be lucky to find four people interested in doing the same for Rises. :/

Those ads still weren't bombarded like some of the films of the last few years have been though. Prometheus being the worst example of late.

Maybe its the color scheme or the explosion itself but this seems so much better than the usual "EXPLOSION!" in action movies. It looks more bleak and real in a sense.

Yeah, that is one of the misconceptions. They are visually two different beasts. That is pretty refreshing for a direct sequel from the last fifteen years or so.

I'm curious how this upcoming film as a whole will look visually, but from the teasers alone, it seems to be influenced heavily from the second film. I can imagine though the narrows being touched on once again with Bane's hoodlums.

I think we can safely expect this movie to be its own. Of course its the third, connected to both, and wraps up the story but it will have its own theme, look, and feel. It works best that way, because TDK can be viewed as a stand alone movie.

Batman Begin's box office performance was simply a masterpiece alone. I think Mystery Men had larger hype. Begins was driven by the diehard fans and terrific word of mouth.

That good word of mouth and incredible marketing for TDK drove the hype into a frenzy. I remember the first time I saw the trailer for TDK, ahead of I Am Legend, and the place clapped. That has to be based on how good people found BB to be.

WB doesn't want anyone seeing it before the Americans do :(

This makes no sense. Forget the fact if people want, they can spoil the movies for themselves already. And what time zone in the US are pinning the International releases down to?

Sorry over the seas bros that sucks.

Man getting old sucks. BB no one in my circle of friends was super excited about, but we all saw it and loved it. No big group or anything. TDK I bought tickets for opening weekend and went with a group of 22 of my friends! 22! We had a whole row and a half to ourselves. Waited 4.5 hours in line. We were all around 22-24 years old. Now? I barely got a group of 10 going.

Too many "gotta ask the wife, don't think I can stay in line that long...have to change diapers..."

Double standard much?

I'm using the same evidence you guys are when you see something in these trailers/TV spots you gush over - I see something, like it, or don't like it. I don't like what I've seen of The Bat. I swear there is some inverse "stop liking what I don't!" going on in here.

My personal is the content of your reasoning for disliking The Bat:

The propulsion system of it is quite clearly supposed to make it "floaty" like a helicopter.
 
Are we really gonna argue physics in a series where there's a machine that can somehow evaporate water without frying humans and blowing them up like a balloon or where there's a machine that can generate earthquakes or how a dude dressed as a clown can sneak a hundred drums of explosives into two ferries without anyone noticing?

All three of those are done via the same machine.

Poetry, George Lucas, etc.

people complain that its too real, people complain that its too fantastical. Thankfully those people are like 5%
 
Let's get right down to the bottom and answer how the fuck the joker drove out of a blowing building and inbetween two school buses with debris falling without anyone noticing that.
 
Or how the Tumbler, which weighs like 50 tons, can somehow jump a giant chasm cause it has a tiny thruster. Or how the Batpod can somehow... drive sideways while it's giant guns are sticking out.

Debris was always falling off of my buses in school. Is that not normal? :(

Anti-gravity thrusters and the guns are actually made of jelly.

50 tons huh?

Solo, I got your back.

I was being hyperbolic, but a lot of things in these movies are done just for the cool factor.

Like the barrel roll. It's too cool not to do. If it handled like a chopper, it'd probably get blown out of the sky. And it's not a chopper. It's... like a highly versatile VTOL craft.
 
Why So Defensive?

The tagline BatGAF deserves. Good grief. It's a sin to not like something, I guess. Harvey Dent died because I disliked too many things.
 
I just think the Bat is going to be TDKR's wallplant for me - something that obviously many thought was cool, but I thought was incredibly silly.

seriously, don't read unless you want to spoil it.
well for consolation, it is going to be destroyed near the end
 
Not reading your black barred sorcery, mang!

Also, 5 weeks from this very moment, most of us will have seen TDKR. Not long now!
