The Dark Knight Rises

[Warmaker]

I don't know, it kinda reminds me of the badguy's helicoptor from M.A.S.K.

Ma-Ma-Ma-MASK!

Ma-Ma-Ma-MASK!

Man, I use to love that show. Saw it recently again, and, well, it wasn't like Macross. Macross I think I enjoy MORE as an adult than as a kid. I don't think I can bring myself as an adult to watch more than one or two episodes of MASK. That's the beauty of anime. It's aimed for more mature, older audiences. Whereas the MAJORITY (But NOT all) of US produced cartoons are the opposite, and lack that enduring appeal. (South Park, Simpsons and even the new Thundercats are exempt).

Now, with that said, that is why I feel Nolan's take on Batman is a blueprint that other movies should follow, especially in the comic book sense. It's aimed for more mature audiences. After I saw TDK, I could NOT bring myself to watch more than a few seconds of Schumachers or Burton's Batman movies without getting annoyed at all the...cheese. For lack of a better word. The writing that caters to the lowest common denominator. I will watch TDK ten years from now, and enjoy the hell out of myself.

Her outfit works for me until you get to the boots, then it just goes total dominatrix, no way she could do anything in heals that high.

Anne is a very good actress and I don't think Nolan would have chosen her if he didn't think she could nail the role. Her costume looks good and as far as the Mask & ears go, I'm going to the theater open minded knowing Chris Nolan isn't going to make her a lame character.

Also in still photos provided through azrael's link, its funny to see Christian Bale in his Batman suit smiling and goofing around, so out of place but still awesome!

Behind-the-scenes material is always great. I wish more movies and whatnot included that type of thing more often. Even watching adult film behind-the-scenes/bloopers are funny...

I was thinking the same thing!

Ok, now Anne Hathaway is invoking that Julie Newmar/Eartha Kitt look when the goggles are in the up-position.

I was expecting more. Hopefully it'll look better on screen.

I keep forgetting to post this:

Jeff Sneider's Twitter page indicates: "Expect to see THE DARK KNIGHT RISES trailer in front of SHERLOCK HOLMES 2... And MAYBE even a HOBBIT teaser."

And Empire magazine covers due out this week:

[Arthurius]

I think she looks great too !!!

[Seanzilla]

According to EW.com, The Dark Knight Rises will take place 8 years after The Dark Night.

You can also exempt Batman the Animated Series, Exo-Squad, and, to a lesser extent, Spiral Zone as well.

AWWW, Bane! Why you gotta be like that? That's a San Diego Comicon Exclusive! I coulda got some serious eBay dough!

[pfunk]

sweet, cant wait, better be good, he has a lot of build up

[Einherjar]

That mask must have been one of the defective ones Alfred mentioned in the first movie.

[bane] When this is available in Quicktime, you have my permission to watch it. [/bane]

[Roy Focker]

So when Batman & Bane have a conversation will we need subtitles?

[Kicker773]

Saw the 2nd trailer last night. Bane's voice is muffled on that one.

[azrael]

Yeah, they might wanna clean up Bane's muffled voice by the time this thing hits the theaters. Apparently that was a major complaint with the 6-minute prologue screenings.

[kanedaestes]

well there is still 6 months of post to do so I am sure it will be fine. Nolan's trailers have a bad tendacy to not show truly finished work. Look at the original inception trailer, half of the shots from the first trailer wind up reveresed as in what side of the screen actors are on in the final film. No worries about the Bane voice my friends.

[scannerfish]

This is gonna be sick.

[azrael]

In 1080p. You're welcomed.

[Hikuro]

didn'th ave any problems hearing him in this trailer. Otherwise I do like this trailer.

[pfunk]

Considering the mask over his mouth, I thought his voice was fine imo

[Lobizon]

"Sources say some at Warner Bros. want Christopher Nolan to change the sound mix in response to complaints that Bane's dialogue is hard to hear..."

[anime52k8]

I saw the trailer for this in front of Sherlock Holmes... I kind of want to go see it but then I remember how I've yet to actually sit through The Dark Knight in it's entirety even once.

[derex3592]

ummmm----why exactly???? Dark Knight is great. Little long....but great.

[505thAirborne]

DARK KNIGHT is pure epic, I've watched it straight through a number of times! And I think DKR will be just as awesome!

Edited December 21, 2011 by 505thAirborne

[Einherjar]

So is Bane Hispanic in this continuity? Does an accent contribute to the problems with his dialogue?

[anime52k8]

ummmm----why exactly???? Dark Knight is great. Little long....but great.

I just don't care for Ledger's Joker. That and after a while I just got sick of listening to Bale's grumble grumble batman voice.

[derex3592]

they did over do the satan like growl on Bale's Bat voice...have to agree with u there.

as for Ledger's joker...well, i though it was the best rendition of the joker, and possibly one of the best (scariest/crazy) bad guys ever put on film.

Edited December 22, 2011 by derex3592

[EXO]

I agree that DK was way too long and the change of focus from the Joker to two-face left the movie a bit disjointed for me. I still like Batman Begins more. That said, after seeing Ledger's joker mugshots leaked, I thought the movie was going to be crap but I ended up liking it a lot more than I thought I would. Still too long though. Two face should've had his own movie because Aaron Eckhart was just as good but got over shadowed by the whole Heath Ledger thing.

I know every one is all gaga over the trailers but I'm always underwhelmed by them, but end up enjoying the movies. It's incredible how much has been released about this movie though, they were so secretive about the last ones. Hoping to see this in the IMAX screen.

I was telling my friend that Leo and Juno will come out at the end and stand over Bruce Wayne's sleeping body and explain that they made the head of Wayne Industries believe that he's a superhero that dresses as a bat at night using his team from Inception.
