Agent Gibbs Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 strangely some good points there, bat darts and not sending all the cops
Cube Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 How much anaesthetic would it take to bring down someone who has been breathing in an anaesthetic gas for many, many years?
EEVILMURRAY Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 Does anyone else wonder how much extra this movie would get fisted if Tom Hardy had died?
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Saw it again yesterday with a friend who remarked on something I'd never considered before: While we're still under the impression that Bane is the child who escaped, how does the mask make sense? We're told he got it in the prison, yet the child escaped without any injuries. Is this a very obvious hint that the child isn't Bane that the audience somehow misses, or have I forgotten something that explains that detail?

We're told he got it in the prison, yet the child escaped without any injuries. Is this a very obvious hint that the child isn't Bane that the audience somehow misses, or have I forgotten something that explains that detail? Never really considered that either... I was sure it was Bane until the reveal near the end. I would have to watch it again to remember better.
Eddage Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 I thought it was Thalia who escaped, was that not made obvious or am I remembering something completely different...?!
Paj! Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Yeah, he's referring to the point in the film when we didn't know that, but had seen *a* child escape in flashback. But yes, I really think very few people would have put that all together while watching.
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Yeah, exactly. When she pointed it out, I was like "... whoa. I can't believe I never considered that." Which leads me to question if the film actually does lay it out like that - because if it did, and if so many missed such an obvious hint (I haven't heard anyone mention it, at least), then Nolan did an amazing job of hiding a hint in plain sight.
Jonnas Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 I actually noticed it during the film, I thought it was a plothole, and kept bugging me until the reveal (it wasn't just the flashback scenes, the story outright says the child wasn't bothered until the day of the escape). For some reason, it didn't click with me that Thalia was the child, even though I saw her betrayal coming from the moment she had sex with Bruce. I'm surprised this was overlooked by so many people, actually, even the guys I went to see the movie with didn't notice until I mentioned it. And now I see even the guy with a Phoenix Wright avatar missed it
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) Yeah, I still can't believe I didn't notice it, even on two viewings. I'm really going to pay attention next time! Edited August 31, 2012 by Dannyboy-the-Dane
Cube Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Someone also mentioned to me that all the men wear similar clothes in the jail. The women (well, we only see one) wear different clothes. The child is wearing the clothing the women wear.
bob Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 I just assumed that it would get explained in a future flashback. While i still thought that the child was Bane, I assumed that he got the mask after he escaped. Did they say at any point that he got it while in the prison?
Mokong Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 I copped it during the film too, plus when it was first suggested that Bane was the son of Ras I went to my friend beside me "but they aren't father & son in the comics...." then I remembered Talia and I shut up then
Agent Gibbs Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 the moment they started going on about Ras's child i knew it wasn't bane, as Nolan wouldn't alter the back story that far, Talia is his child so i knew someone was pulling his strings, and Tate was the only other female in the film, well apart from Selina's friend but i doubted it would be her

While i still thought that the child was Bane, I assumed that he got the mask after he escaped. Did they say at any point that he got it while in the prison? When Bruce is in the prison, it's explained that the guy in the next cell was the surgeon who tried and failed to fix the damage done to Bane.

Retro_Link Posted October 2, 2012 Author Posted October 2, 2012 (edited) Bit annoying, they seem to have stopped doing Triple Play Editions? There wasn't one for The Avengers and there hasn't been one announced for TDKR either. hmm. I'm thinking I'll get the Blu-Ray Trilogy Box Set, seeing as I only have the first two films on DVD. Then I guess if I can buy a DVD copy when it's £5 in a summer sale or something. Edited October 2, 2012 by Retro_Link
bryanee Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 I'll be getting the regular blu-ray and then the collectors edition boxset next year.
bob Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 Yeah this annoys me as well. Took the Avengers round my friends to watch, but the HD bit of his tv was broken, and since we didn't have the DVD fallback option, we couldn't watch it. Actually that reminds me, if you are playing a bluray on a pc, and you send it down a vga cable, can you watch it on another monitor albeit compressed to a lower resolution, or will it just not work?

The DVD and Blu-Rays of TDKR do come with an 'UltraViolet' Digital Copy though, so you can watch that on your PC/Tablets etc...
Ike Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 The DVD and Blu-Rays of TDKR do come with an 'UltraViolet' Digital Copy though, so you can watch that on your PC/Tablets etc... Always wondered about Ultraviolet. Do you have to be connected to the Internet to watch the movies or can you download them to your device and watch whenever? Do they also require a specific app if your watching on a phone/tablet?
Retro_Link Posted October 2, 2012 Author Posted October 2, 2012 Tbh I don't know what Ultraviolet's really about either... well how it differs from 'Digital Copy' you get in other Blu-Rays/Triple Play's. Hopefully someone here can enlighten.
