The Dark Knight Rises *SPOILERS*

[DreaAlGhul]

They were seeing a Batman movie when this happened. It might never be the same film to them ever again. They might never want to ever watch it.

It could forever trigger the images, and terror, or the sight, or feeling of losing someone they care about. That, and it being just odd, is why i'm glad Christian Bale never showed up in his bat costume.

That's so sad. And there's a chance that a lot of those victims remember exactly when the incident happened during the movie. I know there's a lot more important things to worry about when it comes to this, but it's a shame that a lot of these people probably wont be able to enjoy the film like they originally intended.

Way to go Christian Bale! Way to go sir!

They said it was during the shootout scene with the cops and Catwoman.

That scene makes me uneasy now.

That's so sad. And there's a chance that a lot of those victims remember exactly when the incident happened during the movie. Imagine just sitting there, watching a movie & all of the sudden these terrible images popping in your head. I know there's a lot more important things to think about, but it's a shame that a lot of these people probably wont be able to enjoy the film like they originally intended.

Most of the victims will probably have a hard time watching The Dark Knight Rises. A terrible thing happened during something that should've encouraged people to sit back and relax and let their imagination take them on a ride. They may not ever be able to enter a theater again, much less without reimagining the pain and fear.

That's life. It's unfortunate, but the best they can do is move on and... well, try and, for lack of a better word, rise above it.

I don't like that phrase. Work through it is much better.

My second viewing I actually thought about that during the shootout at the bar with Selina.

That and the really loud sniper shots before Gordon goes into the sewers.

Yeah, well I couldn't really word it a different way without getting my point across. As someone who's been in a life or death situation, you have to try and move past it. As scary as it is, you can't let it control your life.

At some point, these victims will have to do the same. The pain will always be there, but the fear can control you... if you let it.

Voloch said Bale notified that he wanted to visit the injured, but asked that media not be notified. "He just wanted to meet with victims and police."

The real story is in that sentence. He did it for the victims, not for the photo-op.

He might've gone off on that crewmember once ... but Bale always struck me as a guy who liked the work rather than the fame. He's an actor, not a professional celebrity -- which is more unusual than it should be.

An article I read before the movie said it took place about 30 minutes into the movie during on on-screen firefight. When that scene you mentioned came on screen, I couldn't help but think of the events that happened just hours earlier. Not good times.

Right. As disheartening as hearing him lose it on that crew member was, I think it was at least partially motivated by how seriously he takes his craft. Maybe, in that one moment, a bit too seriously.

They actually sorted the problem out shortly after the incident, that day I think, and Bale apologized. If I recall correctly, it happened during one of the film's most important scenes and Bale was flustered because it kept breaking his immersion into the role at that particular moment.

 

[mistermadhouse]

You don't make noise/walk around the set while the shooting is taking place. Once the director/AD calls "Action" you're supposed to be ____ing quiet.

As you said, Bale takes his craft seriously and I have no problems with what he did.

 

[DFanatic]

Ok, I just came from the movie. Saw it on IMAX! Though it was great the only problem I had was grasping this version of Batman. I feel he felt from grace too hard. Wayne Enterprises done, Batman gone, his family name done! I just wanted a different ending I guess. Wayne Enterprises back on top with Bruce perpetually being the Batman. Like, is that "Robin" supposed to just become Batman, without any training or anything? Guy wouldn't last a day. I don't he can even start the Tumbler.

I mean, it's a great series. There will never be another Batman movie such as these, I guess I just have to accept this version of Batman. Is a marvelous one, but not one I am not used to. The Batman I know would never give up being Batman.

 

[intothevoid]

Wayne would get his fortune back in some shale or form because those were fraudulent trades

As for Robin/Batman 2.0: in the words of Ra's - 'the training is nothing, the will is everything, the will to act'

Damn, really? I'm gonna have to try & not think about that next time I see it again. That's terrifying

That may have been too much of a cookie-cutter ending. Wayne didn't want to be Batman for the rest of his life - this was pretty reinforced in The Dark Knight. Nolan really pushed the concept that the "Dark Knight" was a legend. And to become a legend you really have to do something as sacrificial and selfless as Batman did in the end. Wayne succeeded in turning Batman into a symbol. Quite a fitting and genius end in my opinion.

I do hear where you're coming from - I just feel in Nolan's universe the ending was pure perfection. As for Blake/Robin - yeah I mean that guy would have to train for a bit before going out there because he probably wouldn't last long. I guess the shots of him finding the batcave is just to show that Batman inspired others to do good, etc.

Exactly. Couldn't have said it better myself.

I would like to think Blake takes on a simpler costume, much like that of Nightwing. And, at first, he might stick to training during the day, while stopping a few petty crimes at night. I wouldn't say he would want to replace Batman, so much as he would just be looking to try his hand at serving "true justice," in the wake of Batman's absence.

I freaking knew it was that scene. It was loud and full of gunfire , someone could of easily shot the same time that was playing.

I kept thinking in the theater what scene it could of been. So terrifying.

 

[Sachiel]

This is the post in question. And it irked me every time I saw it.

And then it made rounds on the net.

First time I seen that... and I agree. Also, him going in cowl would have been a joke.

But I think it was great that Bale did go to Colorado.

I believe that neither him nor anyone else associated with this film in any way had to do what they've been doing, but I commend them for it.

Eh. It wasn't even all that disheartening. He takes his work seriously ... and he's a guy who gets angry now and then. Happens to the best of us. He never struck me as much of a softie to begin with.
