Whoever made that video analyzing the TPM duel needs a girlfriend or something. Yikes.

Re: Matt Reeves Batman film

The fact that people try to deem TDKR "a money grab by Nolan" is hilarious. Shows they don't understand Nolan at all nor the movie for that matter.

TDKR is the Lawrence of Arabia of CBMs and Nolan is the David Lean of this genre. Nolan actually had the crew watch Doctor Zhivago before principal photography began.

Its tragic that people champion generic corporate garbage like CW shot mostly on a sound stage with green screen but bash a superbly made movie like TDKR, shot masterfully on location, on film, with over an hour of 15/70.

TDKR has slowly redeemed itself for me over time. There's still things I don't like about it but there's enough there that I do like that I accept it as the ending to Baleman.

Re: Matt Reeves Batman film

I never thought Nolan could top the brilliant ending to TDK with Gordon's speech and Zimmer's score, but Alfred's reaction to finding Bruce freed from the cowl, living his life happily with Selina takes the cake for me. I smiled in my seat mesmerized at how the Nolans closed Bruce's story.

Re: Matt Reeves Batman film

Here's the thing: Indies, Vertigo and MAX titles do that. Not the main universe titles. The X-Men had a period in the 80s where they had such stories, but then they had events with demons led by the clone of Jean grey, whom Cyclops abandoned. Captain America explored politics with Gruenwald's run and Brubaker's, which people love to cite, but have never read. Iron Man's best run has been Ellis' 6-issue Extremis, which was a fairly boring story, the Knauf run which needs Tony as Director of SHIELD to work, and Fraction's run which is basically the MCU version with more blood and guts.

Main Continuity comics rarely explore these themes, and when they do, it's nothing more than what you'd see in a Saturday Morning Cartoon. In the end, they'll always wear their bright suits, punch a monster and be done with it. If you wanna talk indies and imprints, sure, I ain't dissagreeing. But like I've already said, superhero movies will never have these themes as their focal points. CBMs yes, super-hero flicks, no.

I see your point, the thing is, I rarely read regular comics, I like the "else worlds" a lot better, like Miller's Dark Knight, Morrison's Arkham Asylum, Ross's Kingdom Come and such. And clearly, there is a market for such movies as well, as Nolan's trilogy proved.

But, let's move on...

I hope the DCEU moves forward with Affleck, Cavill and Gadot, I think all three are great in their roles, and hopefully the next movies get a better reception.

I never quite understood the hate for TDKR.
Maybe because I never understood the orgasmic love for TDK...
The one thing I really didn't like about TDKR was the action/fight scenes. Damn, those were bad.

I've always enjoyed TDKR, though it is one of those movies that I have to specifically be in the mood for.

And Rises had the best action in the trilogy

Still, that Bane fellow is very quotable.

Sewer fight was great.

You just knew he was gonna get destroyed and everything Hardy says during is ****ing gold.

Unfortunately yes. It's a shame that I look back on that old cop's line ''son, you are in for a show tonight'' and think....''wweeellllll...''

But Bane, Bane was fantastic.

Yes the sewer fight was somewhat good, if still having a lot of obvious non-connecting punches and elbows. The dialogue really made up for it though.

Future kids will watch TDKR for the first time and expect the older cop to hand the rookie a CW blu-ray.

Re: Matt Reeves Batman film

TDKR was the start of WB/DC bad decisions where the dip in quality was noticeable. Each subsequent movie from them with Rises on got worse and worse.

TDKR -> MoS -> BvS -> Suicide Squad -> Wonder Woman


Dunno how Justice League is going to be, but I'm sure it's going to be another **** show based on their horrible record. I'd imagine if it's awful it will make SS looks decent, BvS look good, MoS look excellent and TDKR look like a master piece. I hated TDKR and MoS, but in retrospect, after something like Suicide Squad I guess they're tolerable.

Wait, you saw Wonder Woman?
