Posted August 8, 2011 (dwarf is right in this case. A costume like the 1992 one would look silly in this universe.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 27, 2011 I really fear for this one. There are so many talented actors in the cast, I fear they'll cram too much into one story. Which is one of my few (small!) complaints about The Dark Knight, it had too many characters and not enough screen-time for Batman which left him a bit flat. But Nolan's the man I guess and he's yet to deliver a bad film, so prove me wrong! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 27, 2011 It's not like it looks bad, it's just that the idea of Catwoman and Bane, and what we've seen in the pictures seem like a hard sell after the RELATIVE realism of the last two movies and their villains. Though Batman Begins has fear gas and mysteriously reappearing-after-being-presumed-dead warlords. I love Batman & Robin so I don't mind silly/camp Batman, but it would be a shame if there were elements that became unintentionally silly in this one. But I've yet to see a Chris Nolan film where that's the case though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 27, 2011 Gonna be the greatest movie EVER. No reason atall to doubt Nolan. In other news filming has wrapped for Bale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 27, 2011 I don't understand why Catwoman needs high heels. They're just the most impractical thing to wear if you're a bugler or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 27, 2011 I don't understand why Catwoman needs high heels. To increase her hotness by 74.3% :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 27, 2011 I don't understand why Catwoman needs high heels. They're just the most impractical thing to wear if you're a bugler or something. I just noticed that...wtf. She doesn't even have high-heels in the comic books, in which women can 'get away with' ridiculous costumes. She's remarkably practical for a comic book character!

Posted November 28, 2011 Yeah but was Pre-Crisis Catwoman. I don't know if this was pre-crisis, but it's certainly more modern than the other image. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 28, 2011 It could be justified somewhat in that cats "walk on their toes". Not a big fan of high heels either, though, and not at all on people of action. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 9, 2011 The Prologue was shown last night, and every article I've read about it so far, people have been praising it alot! only gripe people had was they couldn't understand bane much. I'll put the reviews / comments in spoliers as there are a few little snippets of some scenes explained - "TDKR IMAX prologue was amazing. I didn't think he could, but I think Nolan has done it, he's made a movie to top TDK. Holy shit so good!! There is Catwoman, Bane, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, it looks like everything I could've wished for and more. Nolan, such a brilliant filmmaker. Aiden Gillen and Josh Stewart figure into the prologue but the whole things kicks off with Gordon talking about Harvey Dent. New Bat logo is very cool! Prologue features some exciting acrobats. A must-see in IMAX format. Definitely worth seeking out those theaters. Nolan shows us a visual spectacle we've never seen before, in crystal clear amazing IMAX." Even though the opening shot takes place immediately after The Dark Knight and features Commissioner Gordon speaking at Harvey Dent's funeral (and is shot in 35mm), the footage moves immediately to IMAX and the events that transpire during the hostage situation discussed in the viral documents. There, we're treated to a hostage transfer and the reveal of Bane aboard a private plane and an ensuing fight that takes every advantage of the IMAX frame. Think less The Dark Knight and more Inception or, even closer, an IMAX version of a James Bond film. In his introduction, Nolan stressed the importance of returning filmgoing to the grandeur that it was for him as a child, warning that said scale, "is being chipped away at in all kinds of ways." Though the response from the crowd was overwhelmingly positive, there was much discussion about Bane's voice. Muffled by his mask and featuring a British accent, it's difficult to fully understand exactly what he is saying (but likely intentionally). At the conclusion of the footage, there's a rapid montage of shots, all in IMAX, that feature a lot to excite fans, the most intriguing of which is Bane carrying a shattered half of Batman's mask. "I've barely started to edit the rest of the film," Nolan cautioned with a laugh, "so don't ask me what happens at the end or anything like that." The prologue, which runs six minutes and includes a brief one-minute montage of IMAX footage from later in the film, introduces us to the character of Bane, played by Tom Hardy. You must see for yourself exactly how that introduction is handled, but as Nolan has explained, it's the opening of the movie and it also gives us an idea of the feel and where this is headed. And holy shit, does it look unbelievably awesome. Nolan introduced this by speaking about how seeing films shot on film-stock IMAX brings back the "grandeur" of cinema, that "larger-than-life" experience he had watching movies as a kid. That is certainly the case here, as this is truly nothing grander than see an incredible action scene shot in IMAX, it all looks so stunning. Even though it was only a brief six-minute tease, and admittedly I have a tendency to get easily hyped by Nolan's films, I believe there are hints in here that he has pulled off what we all thought was impossible - making a movie to even top The Dark Knight. There's even a few shots of Anne Hathaway as Catwoman (with pointy ears - which will be a huge discussion point for many), some shots of Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and of course Tom Hardy as Bane, who speaks (in this prologue) using a distorted, digitized voice-box through his mask. My only complaint has to do with his voice, I couldn't understand some of what Bane was saying, it seemed mixed wrong, but either that's part of it or just the first pass. Besides that though, I loved it, every second, and I'm about ready to get back into full-on TDKR hype mode all the way until next July. Finally, because I know this will be asked, how does this compare to The Dark Knight's opening Joker bank robbing prologue? My first impression is that I still like TDK's just a bit more. There's something about it, with Joker and how brilliant the robbery setup is, and while this one comes close it just can't top it. That said, once I see this one four or five more times, I might change my mind. The Dark Knight Rises prologue is playing select IMAX theaters starting December 16th. This is a cinematic experience you cannot miss! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 14, 2011 Just watched the prologue. Tom Hardy as Bane is just perfect he fucking sells it. The man is a beast. It was hard to understand him in the video as it wasnt the best quality but I had no problems understanding him in the high quality audio file I heard earlier. New trailer sometime over the next few days aswell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
