Storyline and characters aside, I'm really looking forward to the soundtrack. I liked the melancholy feel of the third trailer and the music at 1:08 onwards.

I'm actually looking forward to the minimalistic music and the silence like at the beginning of he trailer. After he end of inception I was kind of glad hey had a quieter moment.

Score is score. If composer x was replaced by y I don't think most people would notice. It's like pop orchestra. Musically it is not that thrilling.

What on Earth is this that I'm reading? I hope Marco Beltrami composes every movie you ever want to love.

 

[Tookay]

Does the soundtrack usually come out after the movie release or a little before?

Marketing for this still seems really slow or lacking. By this time we had like 10 posters for TDK. So far for this I think we only have two official ones, both of them Bane.

Unless the plan is to bombard the viewers from now till July.

I think that is the plan. They've just been saving it all up for June-July.

I had a dream last night where I went to see TDKR and for some reason catwoman wasn't featured in the film at all. It was just Bane and Batman and they lied about it in the trailers. In the dream I was perplexed and didn't understand why she wasn't there and posted on gaf asking why.

 

[Gila]

So I've been watching a few DC animated films and now I'm very curious as to see how Batman will behave with a sidekick or ally.

Just watching from the animated ones, he is very strict and hard upon Nightwing or the other robins but you can still see that he does care and is protective. Wonder how he will be with catwoman or even with John Blake as Bruce Wayne

I don't think anyone has topped my 'the Lion King" "dark Knight Rises" crossover dream in terms of "what the fuck just happened".

I still remember a dream I had before TDK released which had an absolutely incredible vision that I haven't been able to shake out of my head.

Batman was diving headlong down into this dark, hollowed-out skyscraper. And when I mean hollowed-out, I mean that all the floors of the building were gone and it was completely dark save for some old rickety windows letting odd pricks of light in. A dive straight down into the depths and we followed with him.

 

[TheKaeptain]

My kid wasn't ready for this trailer after Prometheus. Bane scared the shit out of him on the big screen.

 

[Angry Fork]

He was floating/diving through the air or was the skyscraper underwater?

huh. That reminds me of a tdk dream I had pre release where me and chris redfield were teaming up with batman to take down the joker and dr doom.

Dude nah, have Clint Mansel, Hanz Zimmer, Cliff Martinez, Trent Reznor, Michael Giacchino and John Williams do a cover of the same song and I'll be able to tell the difference.

I think most people would notice if Zimmer were to be replaced.

I had a dream that Tom Cruise came to my house for Thanksgiving.

BTW, he was awesome. Really nice to my family.

TDKR Bruce just shows him slowly returning to his Begins rug.

Best Nolan cop yet.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Oh man.

 

[DMczaf]

Full circle, poetry, etc.

[triplestation]

That full-circle poetry thing is awesome.

 

[Speevy]

Bruce Wayne stops feeling sorry for himself and makes the critical decision to shave.

*cue the epilogue music*

 

[Ghost_Protocol]

Same. This part gives me goosebumps.

Part of it is that Bale FINALLY hit a near perfect pitch for batman's voice.

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

I want at least one shot of him in the cowl with a beard.

cuts to montage of Bruce getting back into shape.

Praise from the man who inspired the Nolan Batman movies, stylistically speaking.

 

[DMczaf]

He was probably shocked that Nolan made a trailer under 18 mins long.

 

[brianjones]

he was probably proud that the trailer ended on a joke, kojima style

Really?

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

Really?

Yes.

 

[triplestation]

Yes.

Wait I know they look similar but was there any confirmation from Nolan himself?

Gonna need some links up in this bitch.

 

[triplestation]

Man I know Nolan's gotta love him some video games. I know that motherfucker plays Uncharted and now quite possibly, MGS.

HE SHOULD DIRECT THEM.

I would be surprised if he did. The man doesn't even use a cell phone.

 

[kittens]

I don't understand this thread's title.

 

[Maddocks]

dent killed 5 people. 2 cops. this is thread number 5. thus OT5.

 

[triplestation]

I think there's another side of him he doesn't show, the side that collects inspiration. I can see him sitting at home without the jacket and scarf just digging into quality media like a fan boy.

Now that I think of it I could see Christian Bale as Snake.

WTF, this is really thread five?? I've only noticed one or two TDKR threads on GAF. Guess I haven't been paying much attention.

 

[Dany]

There were rumors that monolith were doing an Inception game, but that never panned out. Considering the Arkham City games are so great, its understandable why there is no game tie in. But broadly speaking, what is Nolan going to do after batman?

It's still real to me, damn it.

That ain't Chis Nolan. He said he never uses the internet and doesn't own a cellphone or a computer. Nolan is as old fashioned as they come.

 

[triplestation]

That ain't Chis Nolan. He said he never uses the internet before and doesn't own a cellphone or a computer.

Nice try, Mr. Nolan. Love the trailer.

 

[rollingstart]

I remember some article about Nolan having a stack of PS2 games. I don't remember if it's real.

Then there's that one time Christian Bale said he played Metal Gear Solid to get an interviewer to shut up.

 

[Cheebo]

Nice try, Mr. Nolan. Love the trailer.

iirc in some radio interview for Inception he also said he doesn't even own a tv, all movies he watches at home are film prints.

Probably his Howard Hughes movie.

Magical things. That's as broad as it gets.

No proof to corroborate the point. However, one can make a speculative assessment considering the following:

The technology used in the Nolan version of the Batman verse bares a striking resemblance to that of Kojima's MGS. The outlandish design of the Batplane for instance. The Batsuit (minus mask) also looks like a suit you could see an MGS protagonist wearing. Aside from the style, you can also see the emphasis on the suit and it's capabilities, making it perfect for combat/stealth etc.
Another example. Check out Bane's attire here: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vus46VGa1hE/TufqiOZJHhI/AAAAAAAASgU/Te7GRWdlSAg/s1600/dkrempirescan1.jpg
And how much it looks like the uniforms of the Foxhound unit, or at least the PMC's drag.

Maybe Nolan has never taken inspiration from the MGS series. Maybe it's someone else on his team who does the work on designing these things.
And, perhaps more likely, it's all just a slight coincidence. We may never know.

I would be surprised if he did. The man doesn't even use a cell phone.

There was an article posted of Nolan that gave the impression that he was a gamer. Where people sighted some videogames in the background in his office. I can't find it right now though.
