The Dark Knight Rises *SPOILERS*

[Sweet Rabbit]

There's only so many comics storylines / arcs / graphic novels which I think are worthy of being used as direct source material for film

and knightfall isn't one of them?

and knightfall isn't one of them?

I liked some aspects of each part, but I found Knightfall/Quest/End to be quite bloated, especially the latter two arcs.

A NJ theater playing TDKR was just evacuated

WTF is going on with this world.

Also, I'm sure it's been mentioned in here (I didn't see it, though)... but the head caterer's name was Chill, correct?

Yeah, someone opened the emergency door. Hopefully it was just a case of someone being incredibly dense.

He was just trying to get a free seat and they were all like, "OH SNAP"!

Eh. Somebody opened a door. Not exactly the sign of a society gone off the rails. People are just jittery at the moment.

Accurate to the source material didn't make Spider-Man any better, so why would've it made TDKR better?

And so what if it takes you in a unique direction? If you tell me TDKR isn't great because of story, plot, character, writing problems, alright. But if you tell me it's bad because it's not like the comics. Meh to that good sir.

I just pointed that out. B&R was far too close to the source material that it was gaudy on screen. Nolan's TDKR was so far removed from the source material that (IMO) it hurt it as far as being a "Batman" movie.

I'm guessing soon they're going to start arresting people with terrorist charges if this keeps up.

it's pretty clear that nolan borrowed from all 3 parts and I think that it hurt the story more than anything

left out important parts & characters/embellished the not important parts

While I can see what you mean where B&R was close to maybe 50's and early 60's camp source material That had pretty much been tossed from the comics. I still don't get what the studio was thinking.

oh wait...action figures...

What void giveth to Namcat

Void taketh from Namcat

and knightfall isn't one of them?

Your point?

Most of which probably weren't even based on the ****ing film.

I thought Knightfall itself was well done. Someone using Batman's own obsession and his entire gallery of villains to wear him down was pretty awesome.

However I do agree that Knights Quest and Knights End felt over the top and ridiculous.

I'm going to see this again next weekend. It's definitely worth it. Besides, I think I've seen all of the Batman movies in theaters twice since Batman '89. Well, except Batman Forever and Batman and Robin. >.>

knightsquest was more about jean-paul going off his rocker

No one should have to live through that horror twice.

One problem with Knight*, death/return of Superman, and giant crossovers like that is even if the story is good, there's always one book's artist that I hate.

I remember the art in Man of Steel being absolute ____ in that era. There were a couple of Bat-books I really didn't like the art in, either. But one of the books was fantastic - I think Detective Comics.
