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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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,
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.
