The Dark Knight Rises *SPOILERS*

[thenammagazine]

I want to start a poll thread about which movie had the best Bale bat-voice but I'm worried the mods will close it.

Because everybody already knows it was Begins.

Besides, after Oldman's performance, I can't and don't want to picture anybody else as Gordon.

THIS.

THIS.

just like RDJ

Best voice hands down BB

 

[plasmid303]

Because everybody already knows it was Begins.

Most likely, but if BB gets more lovin, I'm okay with that.

TDK, hands down. "Your peanut butter will sell, forever".

Yeah that sequence was the worst example of Bale voice.

 

[Solidus]

I think someone like Nicholas Cage needs to be in the next Batman movie - as Batman, for everyone to eventually have a fond appreciation for Bale's Batman voice .

 

[MasterSafara]

The Dark Knight Rises is the most entertaining out of the three. But they're all great.

 

[thenammagazine]

Bane's arms look crazy when he's climbing down the chain to get to Batman in the sewer scene. Holy crap!

Wasn't that the stuntman?

I fail to see how Bale's voice in TDK and TDKR was any less horrid than Ghost Riders.

Get Bryan Cranston and there's nothing to worry about.

People seem to note the similarities between Blake and Grayson, Todd, Drake and even Azrael ... but miss the McGinnis comparison.

I think Blake is supposed to be more of a McGinnis (took over when Bruce retired) or Grayson (took over when Bruce was killed) version. Azrael was kind of an ass even before he became Batman -- Blake seemed to have his head on straight. There is a point to be made about the training, but I don't think there is about his judgment. He left the force because he'd have to make compromises ... Batman doesn't compromise.

If Bruce comes back to Gotham -- certainly an open possibility -- I'd figure it'd be to mentor as a retiree, or to resume the fight with either two Batmen (maybe a Batman, Inc. thing), with Blake as a sidekick ... or to officially outsource his ass to Bludhaven.

Bingo. That is how I see it. More Batman Beyond than Robin. The whole Robin name was just stupid and made no sense. If they had to do something like that, using Terry instead would have been much better and would have given us, the rabid fanboys, a better picture in what they were intending with Blake at that end there. Everyone is still arguing over Robin vs Batman 2.0 I think "Terry" would have avoided all of that.

I still think that was a bad line to include. Remove that and the film would have ended MUCH better IMO. I'm just really curious to see if WB will keep with the Nolanverse now or just reboot the franchise now. I know they want to start a Justice League, but there really isn't anything in this series that wouldn't mesh so far. Sure this is more of a real world, but when the Superheroes start popping up its supposed to be weird and unheard of.

He could do it, no doubt, but Oldman owns that role, hands down.

So, what did you think of the movie.

Void is sleeping, you can speak the truth.

It was Bane

 

[thenammagazine]

No ____ sherlock. Are you implying Hardy didn't have a stuntman?

 

[Craze]

Am I the only one who actually liked Bane more than The Joker?

You are not alone... I think Bane rocks.

 

[Moonloop]

Amazing film, totally different feeling than the other two films. It actually felt more like a movie set in the real world rather than being set in a comic book world. I think that is attributed to Bane and his destruction of Gotham City, it was very intense and scary; it created a tenseness throughout the film for me.

I like what Nolan did with Blake at the end, hinting he'll become a new Batman of sorts. The ending in general leaves the universe open to interpretation, but at the same time completing the plot that started in Batman Begins...which was Gotham's biggest threat. So the film does come full circle and one can say there is truly an end to Nolan's Batman films.

One question: Was Bruce imagining Ras Al Ghul in front of him while he was in the prison?

 

[DiFabio]

One question: Was Bruce imagining Ras Al Ghul in front of him while he was in the prison?

Yes. It was an hallucination from the pain of his vertebrae being put back into place.

 

[jye4ever]

I wonder if Tale of Two Cities even influenced Batman's billowing cape when he was standing on the tower overlooking Gotham.

Void, wake up.

I didn't buy that Batman couldn't inflict any damage on him during their first encounter in the sewers. Yeah, perhaps the blows from his punches weren't as strong as they were till the end, but Batman got some hits in. I know Batman's heart wasn't in it 100% and it had been 8 years since he was last active, but the ease of Bane's victory didn't feel real. Batman is literally on top of him at one point, POUNDING his face and chest in desperation and it has no effect on him. Fast forward later on where he's punching Bane in the face and his mask is starting to break.

Bane was just written in as this unstoppable, unbeatable force during that sequence, that part of the film. Did I want Batman to be unbeaten and invincible? No. I know the whole point of the scene is to "break Batman" and destroy his morale but I just didn't believe it coming from Bane.

I felt that Bane had one distinct advantage no one has seemed to mention. If anyone has seen the 2nd movie in the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series, you will know what i mean.

Bane has his mask on, and while you can say Batman is rusty, and he dosen't fear death and thats why he lost. I don't think Bane felt any pain. His mask is there to keep him stablized, and although they never mention what is pumping through the mask, you can assume its some sort of pain killer that assist him in dealing with his condition.

Therefore, in the first fight, if he dosen't feel it, hes not going down. Shot for shot, Batman feels it completly and gets weaker as the fight progresses while Bane is completely fine. Once Batman cuts his mask, you can see he can barely even counter attack cuz hes feeling the pain from the punches Batman is giving him along with his own condition.
