^^And therein lies the meaning of the film's title. :)

I've been thinking that since "Begins" was more fantasy-based while "TDK" was more grounded, this film will probably be more of a balance. The best elements of both previous films.

Honestly I actually like the idea of incorporating the Lazarus Pit into the movies. It's on the far fetched side but I think it's a cool idea that could work well if done properly. It could also serve as a way to re-introduce Ra's back into the films which I'd definitely be down for.

That does sound pretty badass.

Spoiler:
And that could be where Catwoman comes into the mix where she steps in to fill that void, in her own way, while Batman is gone.

Sounds like the plot of when Bane first appeared in the comic except it was a different person who took over.

Obligatory post about how JPV should be in this, only completely different from how he was in the comics at all.

:thumbsup:

Outside of an animated movie, I never want to see JPV in any Batman feature, which may sound weird coming from a huge Azrael fan, but I'm just not sure he "works" real well in live-action... especially not if they just create a completely different character and give them his name.

it would take time to not feel rushed..

A full Knightfall storyline would be fun to see, but that seems like it would have to be a three movie arc in itself, and I don't imagine that happening. I haven't read any of the spoilers here, but I trust this won't be as butchered as the Phoenix Saga was for X3.

Spoiler:
Except doesn't that sort of spit in the face of the whole "realistic" universe Nolan has apparently been trying to establish in his movies?

I read the Knightfall storyline and ended it when JPV took over. Question:
Spoiler:
How did Batman get his problem taken care of? I didn't care for JPV as Batman so didn't read much of Knightquest. I seem to remember it took a long time.


I think a cool opening would be
Spoiler:
a flashback of a young kid beating up grown inmates in a prison and getting visited by Ras Al Ghul, kind of how Bruce Wayne met him, except this kid grows into Bane (which is like his comic book origin) and decides to not fight for good. This would explain why the League of Shadows and Talia would be interested in this guy.

Since it's been a while, I'll refer in part to Wikipedia.
Spoiler:
Starting with KnightsEnd since KnightsQuest just consisted of two storylines, one with JPV as Batman and the other with Bruce and Alfred's search for Jack Drake (Tim Drake's father) and Shondra Kinsolving; KnightsEnd has Bruce returning to Gotham and while he was at first satisfied with what JPV was doing, learned JPV was brutalizing people. He asked JPV to step down, JPV said no and Bruce got back into shape with the help of Lady Shiva. Once better he takes down JPV.

Been a while since I read KE but I do remember thinking how lame it ended with JPV, after literally seeing the light, merely walking off the Wayne Manor grounds and that was it.

I think they'll have more fantastical elements to the film. Much like fear inducing flower intoxins.

this isn't from the movie or anything, but DC commissioned famous F1 designer to create a Batmobile.

Worst teaser ever.

Yea, gotta say that's a terrible teaser.

I'm hearing that that teaser is a fake. I'm not saying it is but I think the reaction is too much for it to be real. So....i'm iffy if it's real or not.

TheMovieman 06-18-11 02:55 PM

Yeah, I'm thinking fake.

islandclaws 06-18-11 04:07 PM
Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 
Just curious, but how would someone make that? Use an existing bootleg trailer clip as a template and insert their custom shitty teaser over the screen?

the audience reacts to the word 'Gotham' because they realize what movie the teaser is for, and then another reaction to the title. Seems a perfectly reasonable Pavlovian response to me.

If there was massive cheering at the end, that might be a little suspect, but if it's a fake, I think they cued the appropriate canned responses to it.

The only thing that makes me suspicious is- why would they be taking video of the trailers in the first place. Did they expect a trailer for something special? For no other reason, that alone would make it seem to be staged.
The other thought was that someone had made it up and then was playing it back on a home display- so that would help mask the rough edges- but the sound of the people seems to take place in a venue much larger than someones living room or basement- so I'm inclined to believe it's legit.

Besides, based on the response of audiences to the last film, Nolan could make the equivalent of The Phantom Menace and first run audiences will be cheering wildly at every calculated applause line. Any response to any material from this film is going to heavily influenced by anticipation more so than intrinsic quality.

It's a fake.

According to http://batman-news.com:

If you guys need any further proof that this is fake, one need look no further than the green band MPAA warning. It says “The Following Preview Has Been Approved For All Audiences.” About a year (and change) ago, the MPAA changed their phrasing, and all big green band trailers now say “The Following Preview Has Been Approved For Appropriate Audiences.” For a quick example, just check out last night’s Harry Potter trailer. Or check out the Green Lantern trailers. Or anything else of recent (again, within a year and a bit) release…LOL. Even Inception had “appropriate” as opposed to “all.” For more reference, TDK’s teaser, from 2007, understandably had “all.”

Details on Anne Hathaway's Catwoman Costume
Spoiler:
Earlier today we learned about Anne Hathaway’s training regimen for her upcoming role of Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises, and now Hollywood Life claims to have exclusive details about what the costume will look like.

“Anne’s outfit is more tactical, like the comic book, than the previous Batman movies,” a source very close to the costume design tells us exclusively. “She will definitely be wearing the goggles and it’s going to be less sexy than Halle Berry and Michelle Pfeiffer’s Catwoman costumes. She’s going to look more like a robber.”

Adds the insider, “But fan boys shouldn’t be worried. This costume is going to be form-fitting enough to make Anne look smoking hot.”

Hollywood Life shares the same parent company as the very reliable Deadline, so there may be some truth to this rumor. Hopefully Warner Bros. will release an official picture of Anne Hathaway as Catwoman soon, so we can all see for ourselves!

Not if the trailer ran in front of a midnight showing of Green Lantern. Most fans who show up to midnight screenings are big fans of whatever they're about to watch. A hopped up house ful of comic book folks would most definitely shoot their load over this one.
