The Dark Knight Rises *SPOILERS*

[intothevoid]

Just to be clear when I use 'for yeww' or 'UV coarse' in not criticising Hardy's performance

Quite the opposite in fact

Indeed. I personally love the voice. Those two lines (and "Speak of the devil, and he shall appear") are my favorites. Bane's not nearly as quotable as Joker. Not even close to being as iconic either. But I liked Hardy's performance. The intensity in the eyes and the mocking tone of voice were great. I can understand some people's disappointment with it. I just don't happen to agree with their opinion.

Not any less chill than you being mad at him using the name of your imaginary friend in "vain."

I lol'd.

 

[BadMuthaDude]

For the record I'd like to say that Bane is far more quotable than Joker...


... For Me.

Already read and posted the Sam Mendes article (in various threads )

But the PTA one is new to me -

I'm still enjoying the Bane Whale.

 

[ZaCHw117]

yeah, difab flipped when void posted that.

 

[devilof76]

Bane's voice is awesome. A talking whale is awesome. A talking whale that sounds like Bane is doubly awesome.

Which makes blackmask a doubly bad person.

The police just called. Something about a missing funnybone.

I laugh at you all the time sugar.

I like the Bane voice. It's pushing me to buy the HT figure.

[devilof76]

I'm more tempted to get Bane than I ever was Joker.

 

[Boba Ben]

I've got too many Jokers. Catwoman is my most anticipated, but I really want Bane as well.

 

[devilof76]

Bank Robber was the one I came closest to buying. Then I lost interest. The new one would be cool if it didn't come with so much junk.

I might get my niece Catwoman for Christmas. It'll come down to a choice between her, Black Widow, or Baby Doll. As for myself, I think the Takara Batman will do. Too much to catch up on now if I wanted more than that to represent these films on my shelf.

 

[Boba Ben]

Those are some great gift ideas. I love Black Widow and Catwoman.

 

[devilof76]

Me too. However, I see the blonde as being the bigger hit.

I'll have to be extra vigilant that I buy what she wants, and not what I do.

I needed to share this, and this seems like the most appropriate place:

It was on the TDKR Facebook page, and I am of the opinion that it's the most amazing picture ever. All 6 Batmobiles, and 4 incredibly hot Dallas Cheerleaders surrounding the Barris version?

So I just found this thread....What's the consensus? Yay or Nay? I personally recongize that it was a good movie but was disappointed. Having said this, I value character development and storylines over large scale epicness so naturally I thought Batman Begins was the best. My only gripe with TDK was Two-Face/Harvey Dent wasn't really a developed character. So obviously I had some problems with this movie. The decision to cut out some of Bane's origin rubbed me the wrong way, especially since it was made up with all that 99% stuff. I thought they tried to do too much and I like JGL a lot but the robin thing....Also, I'm 22 years old but as long as I can remember people would say Batman would die if he was real. Now I've been a Batman fan since my mom sewed my kindergarten costume but that guy should have died, just not from a bomb.

As far as loopholes, if he hadn't burned that sign it wouldn't have come down to the last second...Also, does anyone out there thing it's strange that Catwoman can fight just as well as Batman? We needed an entire movie to believe Batman could do it but everyone just accepted Catwoman. She should have just stayed a thief. Also, what was there between the two that made them fall in love? That was poorly developed as well to make room for the gigantic storyline. Bane's plan was a little too elaborate. And if Talia wanted to stab him quietly then why did she allow Bane to ship him off? I thought Talia was great casting but that was a horrible death. Liam Neeson cameo was great and I thought the prison climb scene was also quite entertaining.

Since this movie kinda referred to BB a lot I kinda wish they had played up different emotions. Like when Ra's says "you are just a man in a cape" to BATMAN. I think things like that are more epic than Bane blowing up a football field but whatever. Sorry I've been dying to get this out.

 

[intothevoid]

I absolutely love it. Simple.

Alfred leaves Bruce, Batman quits to run off with a thieving skank, Catwoman has zero curves, Bane is small and wears a metal athletic support over his face and the villain behind it all has one of the worst movie deaths in history (acting-wise). The good? Some great action moments of Batman. Good movie, but "meh" Batman movie.
