Yeah, I was hoping they'd be either Metropolis or Keystone City or one of the other big DC cities.

Having Metropolis might've had people make a connection to Man of Steel that they don't want. Woulda been cool if it was Bludhaven.

Yeah, I thought it was so obviously an easter egg oppurtunity that the only reason not to was that they wanted to keep this 100% self contained. Which is understandable, but still...

OMFG

They could have threw any kind of bone there! Metropolis, Central City (with a red uniform team), Star City (green uniforms), Fawcett City, Bludhaven, c'mon!

That would have been nergasm material for free.

But hey, I'm cool.

That's the price you pay for requesting to blow up Heinz Field and do it during Training Camp. You have to use their players/fans

And I abhore the Steelers. I booed the whole time out of pure instinct.

This might be a stupid question....so I understand why Bruce Wayne had to fake the death of his alter ego Batman. But why did he have to fake his own death? Was it because too many people knew that Bruce Wayne was Batman at that point?

Only took me a week, but I finally had the chance to see this. I found the first hour/hour and a half to be somewhat slow to be honest. Maybe a little bit longer than it needed to be.

But once Bane beat the living shit out of Batman and went over his diabolical plan, everything after that just flew the fuck by. Was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Just a fantastic story and brilliant acting all around. Bane was an incredible villain and was way better than I thought he'd be.

The ending was perfect, loved seeing him sacrificing himself after all of that. It seems pretty clear that he's dead - but I did like Alfred seeing Bruce and Selina. Obviously appeared to be Alfred's imagination or something but it was just enough to cause additional speculation. Be kinda hilarious if they make a Robin exclusive movie now or something.

Also I would pay to have sex with Anne Hathaway.

Bruce is blatantly alive and well, and seemed to plan his suppossed demise from the beginning of his return. Too many coincidences; the new bat signl, coordinates left for Blake to find the Bat Cave, leaving the family grounds to orphaned boys after finding out the company no longer gave donations, Fox finding out the auto pilot was patched in, and Alred seeing Bruce, with Selina, at the cafe. Alfred would have no reason to imagine Bruce and Selina together, seeing as he only saw her for a brief moment prior to that.


Damn it I want to see this again. So bad.

Whilst the first hour was rather low-key, I did not find that it dragged on or had a detrimental effect on the film.

No. It's clearly the exact opposite. I don't even see how it's debatable and how so many people on the internet are jumping to this conclusion. Mind boggling.

Vito is a bit of a moron from what I can tell so go easy on him. Always got the sense that he was a bit dense, so you can understand how he didn't connect the dots. No offense. Nice guy and all. But if I was to bet on any tpww member getting their hand stuck in a pickle jar it would be him.

Who said this nonsense?

This movie legitimized Batman Begins in the trilogy. BB and TDK were so disconnected in tone, you can almost call TDK a reboot with the same characters. After watching TDK's gritty crime movie showcase, I looked back at BB like, "Did he really train under a possibly immortal eco-terrorist who ran a clan of mountain ninjas?"

BB was a really good superhero movie, TDK was an excellent crime film.

But with TDKR, it manages to bring together the fantastical nature of BB with the realism and outcome of TDK.

I do agree with this.

I do like how it tried to combine all the different elements from the first two movies.

The Dark Knight Rises does have a closer feel to Batman Begins then it does to The Dark Knight.

I will keep my analysis short and sweet:

This trilogy was about as perfect a trilogy that I have ever seen.

I enjoyed all 3 movies greatly.

Already saw it again. Still loved it. The first hour didn't drag as much as I remembered. Reavant was pretty much right. You really do view things a bit differently knowing how it ends.

Unlike what Hanso claims, I didn't fail to connect the dots/miss the point/etc the first time. It had everything to do with my mindset. I went in to the film fully expecting Bruce to get killed off, and most of what happened during the movie enhanced that belief. Even watching it the second time it felt like that that was where it was heading. The look on Bats' face when the bomb was 5 seconds away from detonating just said it all to me. He looked like a man who had accepted his fate. Because I was so wrapped up in the notion of Bruce actually dying I definitely see why I perceived everything that happened post-explosion the way I did. Bruce Wayne never fails to plan ahead - so that explained everything being nicely laid out for when he was gone with the bat signal being fixed, Robin being prepared to take the reigns, etc. The auto pilot had been repaired, but it was before Bane's hostile takeover had even begun. And then there was the whole Alfred thing which I had already mentioned.

In watching with a more clear mind the second time, I'm still not convinced the ending was as black and white as people want to make it out to be. I'm willing to concede that Bruce probably did live as it's the simplest, happiest way to wrap up the trilogy plus it gives a concrete ending for those who wanted it. But I think it was designed to leave just enough up for speculation to the contrary for those who wanted to dig deeper into it. Unless Nolan says otherwise, I stand by that.

And really, it doesn't matter. No matter what Bruce's fate was, it'd have no effect on my overall opinion of the movie. It was brilliant. Nolan did about as perfect of a job as you could with this trilogy.

Also Jonathan Crane is the fucking man. Not sure I mentioned him in my comments from yesterday but I absolutely loved his cameo. He's been consistently great throughout the trilogy.

I do wonder about what the next stages are for the franchise. Nolan says he's done, and I don't think he's bullshitting there. But somebody is bound to try and make another Batman movie, probably within the next 5 years. Just way too much money to be made for it to not happen. The only question is whether or not they try to pick things up in Nolan's universe with Gordon-Levitt as the new Batman, or if they just do a reboot (god I hope not).

Wish Crane wore his mask and a hangman's noose at the trials. It would have a thematic effect for me, personally.

More than likely the nest Batman movies will be a reboot to coincide with the Man of Steel universe for the assumed Justice League movie.

Although...

I do find it epically ironic that upon seeing the Man of Steel trailer, they do in fact have a Superman that seems to fit in Nolan's world. I can see Bale-Batman in that somber, almost bleak setting. I would like for Bale to continue (somehow) toward a proper crossover. Now when Batman gets rebooted, it'll almost surely be lighter in tone - possibly too light in tone for the Man of Steel series!

I put this off for a few days but yeah, I warned that if anybody ruined the story for me I'd personally ban them. Someone attempted to, which I quickly looked away when I seen a specific combination of words. I went back to read after seeing the movie and this person indeed tried to spoil it. And this guy is pretty cool with me. Well, off ya go, you know who you are.

I was half expecting Leonardo DiCaprio to pop up at any moment given the number of actor crossovers with this and Inception.
