Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)

Since it's past 9 PM on the east coast I assume it's safe to talk about the prologue.

I wasn't too impressed. It doesn't help that Bane is wholly incomprehensible. But with The Dark Knight prologue, seeing The Joker was such a big deal. Bane does not have the same impact.

I'm still super psyched for the film, though.

Liberals did it.

So it looks like they're making Catwoman the catburglar type character (who I would assume ends up fighting crime too). NICE!

The Joker is a much more essential main character to the Batman universe so seeing him in action for the first time in Nolan's world was really exciting. Bane probably won't have that effect because while he's not exactly a minor character he's more a character that dedicated comic fans are going to know while the mainstream audience might wonder who he is (or if they remember him it might be from the god awful Batman & Robin version). At least in my opinion. I still really like the prologue though but it makes me just want to see the rest of the movie even more!!

Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)

The new Batman trailer was attached to my Liemax showing of MI4 tonight. Looked good but you cant understand what the fuck Bane is saying.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)

How is it that you guys can't understand him? I literally heard every word he said fine. Are you guys sensitive or what?

I didn't have much of a problem either and all I've heard of him so far was that crappy bootleg upload not even the official version :shrug:.

You'd think at this point Nolan would have our trust in regards to the Batman franchise. The guy is questioned left and right, and got all sorts of flack for Hathaways casting, too. So far, she looks to be perfect to play Selina Kyle.

It's good to keep a director in check, especially after a string of massive success, but c'mon. If the guy was going to screw up, he would have done it with Inception.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)

I got to see the prologue before the showing of MI4, and count me among those VERY concerned if this is how Bane is going to sound. I understood maybe 4 sentences he said.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)

I barely understood a word of that crap

Can you do me a favor and recap what he said? I've seen it three times in IMAX now and I've been able to pick out a few more things, but most of it was a complete jumble.

I heard about 99% of it. I read about the complaints and so when I saw the trailer I was actively listening and was quite surprised by how clear it was, I was expecting some kinda Darth Vader with his mask off type mumbling.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)

I got about 90% of what Bane said no problem. I thought that once the plane sequence got going, it was pretty cool - but the first minute or so is really choppy IMO. Seeing it so large in IMAX, I felt it was really rushed and not in a cool 'let's throw you into the middle of the action' sort of way.... I'm still pumped for the movie but I definitely wasn't as thrilled with the prologue as others seem to have been. Cautiously optimistic.

I'd like to know this as well.

And put me in the camp that had a hard time understanding Bane in the prologue. However, I was so mesmerized by the whole plane sequence on the huge IMAX screen, I really didn't care. I can see it being annoying if it's like this for the whole movie though.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)

I really can't wait to see the trailer on the screen.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)

just fix the fucking thing in post-production, if so many people are having issues with it. same thing should have happened to Jar-Jar...

Oh snap

It moved a little when he said that.

what did Bane say?

Transcript of the prologue:

Spoiler:

I think another reason Bane was so hard to understand was because the background noise and the score were pretty loud which seemed to drown out the dialogue.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)

Bane has this German-like accent (to me) and his tone of voice is a bit of a contrast to his mask and overall look. He sounds relaxed, almost friendly, but in that arrogant way when someone is overly confident and figures they're untouchable.

its already been stated earlier. The real imax screens are showing the prologue while the amc imax-lite screens are showing the new trailer.

The new trailer looked impressive on the big screen.

And I like that.

it also sounded like a German accent to me too.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)

I'm glad someone posted the transcript...not so much for clarification of Bane's voice, but to show how poorly written that dialogue is. :)

Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)

Was that dialogue the vimeo linked prologue?? I didn't even see or hear that.

But anyways,

Spoiler:

I was disappointed with Hathaway's casting, still don't like her mask, but this prologue really has me excited for the movie. She looks like Selina Kyle with that big hat.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)

Better quality of the prologue, just skip to 4:43:
