The Dark Knight Rises *SPOILERS*

[intothevoid]

Will blow TDK out of the water.

It HAS blown it out of the water. Way out. The quality is nuts. Best looking film i've ever seen.

Man! I can't wait to see the IMAX footage via Bluray. Also am just looking forward to seeing the movie again. It's been a while.

I wish I could relive the Imax showing.

I also have the itch to watch it again, and again.

My local IMAX (70mm/15perf) has spoiled me. Nice bright picture on a 7 story screen and amazing surround sound (you can barely hear anybody even if they clap ). It totally engrosses you in the film.

It's too bad that it's a single-screen in a museum and they only get certain releases because of that.

The closest LIEMAX isn't at a convenient distance so I'm mostly stuck going to other theaters with their very dim image (dark scenes are horrible and I could barely see the numbers during the close-up of the bomb's timer at one theater!) and lame surround sound (easy to get distracted by people moving around and chewing popcorn).

The digital projectors also seem to have some kind of "motion smoothing" going on which makes certain shots (like panning) look sped up which kills the feel.

I can't wait to watch TDKR on my 27 B&W TV.

Sorry bud, I don't think they'll put it out on Betamax.

I went to my local cafe today to sip a drink, I even informed the waitress about my retirement.

It actually felt good.

I even nodded at an old fella across the way from me.

 

[Sachiel]

Did he start crying?

Dammit, can't find that Alfred vs. crazy lip-licking Bale gif.

that reminds me...

How come Batman never used the Sonar to attract the bats ever again?
that thing could have come in handy a lot of times, he could have used it like EVERY night...

The thing never, ever shows up again in Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy, despite how effective it proved to be and how easy it was to carry. It fit inside the sole of Batman's boot, so it's not like it would have used up any room in his utility belt. Did we miss the scene where Batman swears off using this device for moral reasons?

How is this not useful ever again? Like later in Batman Begins, when Batman is overrun by crazed citizens and nearly beaten to death -- why not disperse them painlessly by siccing hundreds of bats on them? Or in The Dark Knight, when he ambushes the mobsters and gets bitten by a dog in the process: He could just call on the bats and catch everyone while they're busy freaking out.


Seriously, think about it: Batman is all about image. It's the entire reason why he has those pointy ears on top of his cowl and why he shapes all his boomerangs like bats and so on. He wants to be seen as more than a man, as a mythological creature that punches bad people. If his whole deal is to strike fear into the hearts of the wicked, he should use this even when he's stopping street muggings and convince everyone that he's literally made out of bats. You know, like some sort of ... Man-of-Bats or something.

Rabies, poop, traded up to the Bat.

But that was one of my gripes, as if Nolan was embarrassed to have used that one fantastical element.

okay getting the Bat is a good point.
lol couldn't be poop or rabies since he lived with the damn things already

But he could have used it at least at the end of Dark Knight for example, there were a couple of times in the trilogy when using the sonar would have been helpful.

was it too unrealistic?
