The Dark Knight Rises - TV Spot 6

>>34061
In the comics Bruce's police and medical records have incorrect DNA information so that when batman leaves anything behind, it doesn't match his.

>>34145
Hasn't anybody ever tried following the batmobile? Surely it's not invisible and it's bound to end up in the batcave or one of his safe houses. Maybe using a UAV?

>>34159
Batman also has been shot more times than he can remember, why not shoot him in the mouth or eyeball?

>>34160
Handguns aren't nearly as accurate as you might think.
Those badass shots in CSI or whatever the local channels air these days, where someone's got a gun to a hostage they're using as a shield, and the police shoot the inch of criminal head that's visible behind the hostage? That doesn't happen IRL.

Self-defense classes teach to aim for the torso and empty your mag. Headshots might be more lethal, but the head is a small target, and you do not want to take that chance when it's life or death.

Personally I'm more excited about this one to wait for a reboot. Anyone else tired of those mail armor suits? I mean, even a cat burglar thief wearing one of these? A Batman movie where we didn't even get to see the cave doesn't sit well with me either.

And while I really like that everything is well-thought and all, I think the movies could use a bit of a poetic license (the first Burton one had a lot of that, the second... had maybe WAY too much).

Also as great as Ledger's Joker interpretation was, I'd rather see less "ideological" bad guys. I mean, yeah, Batman's enemies are crazy alright, but most of them are also mob bosses with a thing for money. I'm guessing all the talk about grimderpery was more about the "Saw" style Joker and stuff.

SWEAR TO ME!

I'd watch a complete version of the movie like this

Jimmy Fallon: 'The Dark Knight…

Batman disappeared for 8 years
Fuck you, Nolan.

Haters gonna hate.
Lucky im to jaded to care.

Since we're getting close to the release of The Dark Knight Rises, it's only fitting we take a look back at the previous movie, The Dark Knight, by listening to Down in Front's commentary for the film:

http://www.downinfront.net/index.php?id=152

One of the aspects of TDK I disliked the most was the frankly goofy idea that, for the good of Gotham, the truth about Harvey Dent must never be known so it's discouraging to hear that in TDKR the shining example of Dent's heroism is supposed to have magically wiped away crime in Gotham City - a notion that's just...dumb. A symbol of hope was all that Gotham needed to all but rid it of crime? A city as dirty, violent, and deeply soaked in corruption as Gotham? Really? That all got turned around because Harvey Dent was a really good guy? What about all the lowlifes and crazies who would've been equally inspired by The Joker's unwholesome example? Or all the people who just still prefer to take want they want rather than earn it?

And to have Gotham miraculously be doing so well that Bruce is able to - much less willing to - give up being Batman? For eight years? This alone is proof that Nolan just doesn't get Batman. From the end of TDK, I expected that Batman taking on the burden of Dent's sins would lead to Batman having to work under more adverse conditions where he would have to fight crime and be pursued by the GCPD as well. But for him to bow out is just absurd. Even if he could prevent one Joe Chill from tearing another family's world apart, he'd be out there - not sulking in Wayne Manor.

Nolan is a incredibly skilled filmmaker and he has a way of making movies that override whatever narrative issues they have but his Batman movies are more troublesome because they suffer from such a poor understanding of the character (and, really, from a poor understanding of human nature in general). I just hope whoever takes on the task of rebooting the franchise down the line will have a better grasp on the Darknight Detective.

I didn't see the news, maybe he broke his back at some point and stayed retired?

Bat Romance - Dark Knight Ris…

Too bad they couldn't get Bane's VA

Batman makes me hard

Thank you Japan.

the amount of forced Lionization of Harvey is/was laughable. I guess it was supposed to make his fall more dramatic but that part was so abrupt that it didn't really do anything and I never cared what was happening. Maybe its because Bale really isn't that good in the role because I just don't feel any connection between anyone he talks to either as Bruce or Batman. I mean in BTAS which I myself have gotten tired referencing but there is little else that has done the tone better you could feel the pain that Bruce harbored in having to bring down Harvey as Two-Face and his inability to save him from his darker personality.

So apparently Limbaugh thinks that Bane's name is a deliberate attack against Romney.

Seriously.

>>34373
source?
I need to hear this.

>>34377
"The Dark Knight Lights Up?"

Five straight minutes of Limbaugh claiming that Bane, the Batman villain, is an Obama-campaign smear attack.

I shit you not.

Rush Limbaugh: "The villain in…

(The clip also features him taking a recent Obama quote out of context.

The only part Limbaugh plays: "If you’ve got a business -- you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen."

Full quote: "There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who agree with me -- because they want to give something back. They know they didn’t -- look, if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own. You didn’t get there on your own. I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something -- there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there.

"If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business -- you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.

"The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together. There are some things, just like fighting fires, we don’t do on our own. I mean, imagine if everybody had their own fire service. That would be a hard way to organize fighting fires.

"So we say to ourselves, ever since the founding of this country, you know what, there are some things we do better together. That’s how we funded the G.I. Bill. That’s how we created the middle class. That’s how we built the Golden Gate Bridge or the Hoover Dam. That’s how we invented the Internet. That’s how we sent a man to the moon. We rise or fall together as one nation and as one people, and that’s the reason I’m running for President -- because I still believe in that idea. You’re not on your own, we’re in this together.")

>Going to Ain't It Cool News for reviews
>Going to Ain't It Cool News for anything

I'm not just saying that because it's a negative review. There are negative reviews available online for this film which are far better written than this fanboy rant. It doesn't even take the reviewer long to go into "Not my Batman" mode in this

>>34380
Best thing to come out of it right here:

Watched it.

Didn't hate it, but the ending is bullshit. And it certainly is the lowest point of the trilogy.

So I heard that Batman was barely in this movie. Is that true?

Flying Batmobile thing is shit. Worst part of the movie, just feels like it came out of a completely different franchise. wtf.

Good use of the others though.

yikes, was anything in the movie that good to mount such a defense?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and figure he was trying to emulate his hero.

FAIL. He didn't wear a bat costume and forgot Batman doesn't use guns.

>>34403
You are acting like the Hero was supposed to be Batman..might be mistaken on that one.

>>34399
I'll be the boring one and guess that the shooting had nothing to do with Batman and everything to do with targeting what is likely to be the largest audience for a single movie this year.

Which, thanks to this deeply troubling and narcissistic behaviour, is no longer a sure thing. Going to the movies ain't as hip as it used to be, and the box office was struggling enough before theatregoers had to fear being pumped full of holes by a disheveled lunatic on opening night. If there's even one copycat shooting then the studio execs might as well throw themselves off the roof right now, because Hollywood is not going to survive this.

>>34399
>>34403
His hero was Joe Chill, clearly.

>>34408
This was clearly a marketing thing. They hired someone to massacre dozens of people during THEIR FEATURE, to get attention and more revenue. Why do you think the news explicitly stated "During the Dark Knight Rises", instead of "During a movie"?
It's a conspiracy I tell you! A dastardly crafted conspiracy!

You know what gets me as the CRAZIEST fucking thing about this?

It's a Batman movie.

Parents and Kids were gunned down AT A BATMAN MOVIE.

It's....so fucking disgusting on conceptual level alone.

The Cops are gonna have to be REALLY hard time dealing with this.

That gutless coward is gonna have people gunning for him at every turn.

>>34415
Seriously. That he did this at a big family movie about a character that came about by gun violence is just salt on the wound.
Can't say I agree with your posting the most ultraviolent Robin in reaction tho'.

>>34422
The whole point of his ultraviolence is that he was completely misguided.

He's now working never to kill again and make his father proud, he's trying to SAVE lives now.

>>34399
WHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHY

>>34423
He's the Robin that derives joy from hurting and insulting others. Honestly not remotely something bothering me right now, but I can see why someone would go "Not today".

>>34429
>He's the Robin that derives joy from hurting and insulting others

No he doesn't and it's a little boy in a reaction image, for godforsaken people are dead, this shit is BEYOND unimportant.

What was the point of naming Juno Temple's (useless) character Jen in the credits? I suppose calling her Holly Robinson would be too close to those silly comic books.

>>34431
>Why not name her a character she's clearly not?

After what has happened, I think we can all need a little laugh right now.

Batman and Bane BFF's Dark Kni…

Why did Batman want to Knot Everything?

All those kids who lost their parents during the shooting are going to grow up to be Batman.

It's good to see people aren't letting this cowardly asshole scare them off from watching this movie, or any move in the foreseeable future. I wasn't feeling great when I walked into the theater yesterday, after hearing what happened the night before, but my mood picked up when I saw seats filling up as usual and people cracking jokes ("I'm unarmed".) I'm not letting that bastard ruin my movie experience and neither should anyone else.
