The Dark Knight Rises *SPOILERS*

[Voorhees27]

The worst bit for me was the way they shoe horned Robin into it.

I'd have prefered it to have been left open whether Alfred really see's Bruce in Florence, may be just have the back of Bruce's head and Alfred smiling...... was it Bruce, wasn't it Bruce?

The biggest problem was though how do you better TDK? i don't think you can but TDKR does give TDK a fantastic companion piece.

Yeah I think the ending was my least favorite part. Thinking he died was more fitting.

Don't tell him to shut up. Nobody talks to batfan that way. You shut up.

ASM sucks, nerd. Get out.

Lol your bf ?

Lol your bf ?

Yeah, he's my bat fan. What of it?

It should have cut to black with the camera on Alfred's face.

O I sense a bunch of fighting at home since he worships Nolan and you hate it.

Nah, we always make up because I know that he enjoyed Begins and TDK as much as I did.

I do too although I don't know where they get the love for asm. Thought it was decent but didnt love it.

I know that. The whole, "you're in for a show tonight son" exchange.


But that's where it ends. In TDKR they just keep going with it. "Sorry", after the rookie, I guess, accidentally destroys Batman's new toy with his gun? The senior cop telling the rookie to put the gun away before he puts someones eye out?

The whole, "I think you got the wrong animal sir". Batman's whole return is lighthearted and campy, and the cops are the cause. There's a tonal shift there, no tension at all. I mean this is Batman's big return here. He's been a wanted man, he killed Harvey Dent and it seems like every cop in Gotham is on his tail. But nah, you got Foley cracking jokes, "he's as stupid as he dresses, IMMA catch me a Batman" and other cops acting incompetent and silly as hell.

I dunno, seemed silly. Batman himself is REALLY ridiculous in this one. I kinda dig it, the whole open mouth, silly voice thing that's been parodied. Not as a hero or cool, serious character, but as a joke or impersonation. I mean, is Bale as Batman in TDKR any better than Clooney (who somehow was able to bob his head in a rubber suit)? That's not trolling either, he's ridiculous in this one. It's like with TDKR this stuff finally got fantastical and silly and Bale was doing an impersonation of Batman, not really being him. They're winking at the audience constantly, especially when Catwoman disappears and he's like, "so dats what dat feels like" in his batvoice.

It's like a running joke though that all the cops in this trilogy are dumb-***** and have corny lines. "HE'S NOT ON A STREET HE'S FLYIIINNNG ON ROOFTOPSSS!!" I half expected to see hightower and tackleberry show up at one point. I was actually pleased when that ******* Foley guy was gunned down at the end

I think this trilogy could have had better titles though. They should have just stuck with the naming convention of the Burton films, Frank Miller be damned:

1. The Dark Knight (introduction and origin)

2. The Dark Knight Returns (since he well, returns for the sequel)

3. The Dark Knight Forever (sets up the cowl as an immortal symbol anyone can wear)

Nah the titles are fine

TDK and TDKR are both appropriate for their respective films on multiple levels

It should have cut to black with the camera on Alfred's face.

Leaving Bruce's fate ambiguous would have left his arc open ended, so I disagree

You cut out the entire Alfred sequence (Cafe) and end with Blake rising in the batcave.

 

[DiFabio]

Alfred should have died. If there's no Batman to make a sandwich for, Alfred has no function, thus he should cease to exist.

What a weird mother ****er, traveling to Italy every year searching for Bruce. Pretty ****ing random. Who does that? Why look in Italy? Why not France? Or London? Or China?

I liked the Alfred from Batman Begins that was riding around in a Rolls Royce and had Bruce declared dead and partied without him. He didn't even give a ****, he knew Bruce was alright. He even quips, "you're looking fashionable" after not seeing his ass for 7 years. They had some great banter with each other, especially in TDK (I'll tell them the whole thing was your idea).


Then they had to retcon him into a puss and go all good will hunting on the movie. That's straight from Goodwill Hunting, almost line per line that Nolan ripped off.

" Every day I come by your house and I pick you up. And we go out. We have a few drinks, and a few laughs, and it's great. But you know what the best part of my day is? For about ten seconds, from when I pull up to the curb and when I get to your door, 'cause I think, maybe I'll get up there and I'll knock on the door and you won't be there. No goodbye. No see you later. No nothing. You just left. I don't know much, but I know that."


Then how does it end? Chucky gets his wish and Will has left.

 

[ironwez20]

So I take it you liked the movie?

Is Joel Schumacher's opinion valid after he gave the world Arnie as Mr. Freeze????

 

[ironwez20]

As some said he made fantastic movies but ****ed up with batman which is a no no.

I guess for those who's subtlety meter was smashed with a sledgehammer.
