I saw it again yesterday, and with each viewing the movie is that much better. I completely understood Bane this time, The Talia reveal with her speech didn't bother me I thought it was awesome, and for casual fans I can tell they didn't see it coming... Also the way I interpret the ending is Bruce alive Literally, none of that batman died and bruce didn't nonsense lol

Spoiler

Well, yeah in the literal sense he's alive and well. Given the imagery of that final sequence, though, I wouldn't put it past Nolan's symbolism of the character to "send off" Batman in that way.

Not really a spoiler, but it concerns a specific part of the second act and involves the Joker. Its a fan-made storyboard.

If anyone is interested, Kevin Smiths 'Smodcast' podcast has a real fun, thorough breakdown of the movie. I was laughing at not only Smiths takes on the film, but how he described the film to his partner Scott Mosier with such enthusiasm that he impersonated the voices, particularly Batman and Bane. It is the most recent podcast put out by him, and is around and hour and 30 minutes. Highly entertaining.

Of course as he mentions early on, it is spoilers galore for the TDKR. And technically, it is the second part of a breakdown of the film. Part one is available on his latest 'Fatman on Batman' podcast. However the first part is a more general discussion of not only TDKR, but Batman in general. Part two is really good as he quasi-narrates the film to Mosier.

This was awesome. I highly recommend everyone (who has seen the movie) to check this out. His Bane voice is great.

His Batman voice might be even funnier. LMAO!

I like what novel says about the Joker:

Now that the Dent Act had made it all but impossible for the city’s criminals to cop an insanity plea, it (Blackgate Prison) had replaced Arkham Asylum as a preferred location for imprisoning both convicted and suspected felons. The worst of the worst were sent here, except for the Joker, who, rumor had it, was locked away as Arkham’s sole remaining inmate. Or perhaps he had escaped. Nobody was really sure. Not even Selina

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

No because it's mediocre and full of holes/too many things not being explained which have been pointed out repeatedly. It's not even close to TDK and it's also beneath Batman Begins. I don't think I'd even put it ahead of Batman,Batman Returns or Batman Forever. It simply doesn't deserve one unless it's a "we're sorry we didn't nom TDK so here's this instead".

Spoiler

Yes far as he knows. That's the thing. There's not even a guarantee he'll take up the mantle. Even if he does he's hardly trained for it. Bruce spent what,3 years? training to be Batman. This cop is just going to pick it up? I don't recall the scene where Bruce installs the no killing belief in him. Is Alfred going to come back and help? Will Lucius still help? Where's HE going to get the money to fund all the gadgets/armor/etc.? All the money went to Alfred and the Orphanage. On top of that Bane raided the armory. I doubt a policeman's salary pays for a new Batmobile. Bruce will send it from Italy? How does he get it? Obviously had to change his idenity,start up a new company? It'd take years to get that much money again. Blake doesn't seem much in the science department either. He's going to know how to use all that stuff in the Batcave? When Poison Ivy shows up he's going to be able to able to come up with a cure?

Regardless Batman/Bruce wouldn't up and leave Gotham.

You're kidding about Batman Forever right???

Do you have a personal vendetta against the movie? Do you work for Marvel? You can tell us, we're all friends here.

I actually enjoyed it more the second time around than the initial viewing.

A lot of posters here already know of the plot holes and recognize them. It's just that for some people, the plot holes aren't a big deal. For some, they are. It is what it is. Don't stress out about not having everyone agree with you. If you don't like the movie, it's fine, but you don't have to convince everyone to not like it along with you.

Absolutely not. I do like the movie and getting it first day when it comes out. But I don't think it's an amazing movie and should be up for best picture (lol) like some have said.

Hype has nothing to do with it, and if you read the link I posted a couple times throughout this thread, the ending is very easily explained.

Every movie has plot holes, the difference is, they aren't seen by as many eyeballs, and therefor aren't disected to the same extent. This is one of the most popular trilogies of all time, of course people are pulling it apart and finding every little thing that doesn't match up.

None of that has any bearing on this being one of the best films of the year, and deserving of a nomination or two. If you don't feel that way, then great.
