Re: HOT TOYS : MMS DX 12 - The Dark Knight Rises - BATMAN / BRUCE WAYNE Full Specs &
Always found it interesting that people posed their Batmen with back pack and sonar head as he never appeared like that in the film.
You know what? You're absolutlely right. I knew this and somehow didn't even think about it.. I suppose what I meant was the bale head with the backPack, and the sonar with the sticky bomb gun. The sonar eyes are associated with the cape holder in my opinion, because they were two
Of the new gadgets introduced in TDK.
What I look forward to is having these accessories to add to the new figure.
What I really love about Nolan's batman is how much he drew from the comics... Many scenes directly: to mentions few
Bearded young Bruce training w/ ducard from the man who falls.
The rhythm of dialogue between Bruce and Alfred is nearly identical to that of the comics.
Flass ribbing Gordon about being too much of a boy scout-batman: year one
Batmans first outing ending in him nearly killed and in pain on an iron emergency exit blalcony-batman year one
Batman using bats as backup to escape from swat - batman:year one
The triangular juxtaposition of the dent/Gordon/batman meeting on gpc's rooftop. Also about taking down the falcone crime family - the long holloween
Joker making televised death threats against public figures and the gcpd/batman scramble to seal off and protect each of these peopple - the man who laughs
Joker trying to prove that anyone can be driven mad, even the best- the killing joke (although in the kiolling joke he targeted Gordon)
One on one interrogation between bats and joker- the killing joke
Mob spies in the da office-the long holloween ( I believe in both cases, it was maroni's men)
Joker attacking dent's lover-the long holloween (it was his wife and not Rachel Dawes in thwe book, and I don't think she was killed in the book)
Speculation that dent is batman-batman year one
The ball and chain look of batmans little
Explosivwe things was taken directly from 'under the red hood'
As was batman's sonar vision eyes
Th we tumbler was like the bat mobile from frank miller's the dark knight returns (a big bad tank)
Bane in tdkr is a lot like the mutant leader from tdk returns in that he's physically superior to Bruce
The whole plot of batman being old and retired and having to return is from tdkreturns.
The scene where Bruce sidekicks the brick wall in the bat cave, crumbling it is reminiscent of batman year one, where in his sidekick demolishes a tree.
Batman's scarred and maimed back in the dark knight is a famous image from the comics.
The batsuit Ina glass case is a classic batman comic image
Of course, bane breaking batmans back with batman over his knee is straight from the books.
The whole feral nature of Nolan's batman is very frank miller. Also, batman flirts with unlawful tactics to exact justice reflects miller's slightly fascist batman.
Thought u all might find these tidbits interesting, and I'd love to hear more
