Well, Batman is just being fucking stupid now. There was no improvement in vigilante suit technology in 8 years?

In fact, you were asked quite a few days ago (by me and quite a few other posters) to say one positive thing about this movie and you came up with the most vague, ancillary answer possible.



An obvious lie, since I didn't even mention it until you brought it back up. The only reason that I'm attempting to 'defend' it is because you called me out on it.

God, I wish I could put you on ignore. All you do is instigate shit.

You may be disappointed. The subtitles of him talking will mostly say: "[Bane speaking unintelligibly]"

I think people are mixing in some small complaints that maybe only one or two people mentioned (like the knives) with some of the bigger complaints as far as Blake or Bane/Talia go.

It's not baiting just because you're upset that people constantly disagree with you.

Supermallet, when friends and family ask him to join them outside: "Go away, baitin'!"

Say what you want about Supermallet, but you cannot deny that he is a master baiter.

They could use the first few seasons to set up all the rogues, and then have a season where Bane breaks all the rogues out of Arkham in the first episode leading into a season long Knightfall.
That would be fucking awesome. Too bad it'll probably never happen or if it did it probably wouldn't have the budget to do it well.

Yeah, I would be all for a live action TV show. "Fantastical" elements/characters would be fine as long as the show would write them well and treat them seriously. I'd especially love it if the "world's greatest detective" aspect to Batman was explored in more depth, which a TV series would certainly allow.

I saw the movie in IMAX and I liked Bane's voice. Has to rank in the top 10 evil voices in movie history.

I saw this in Imax and on a regular screen. I think Bane was eaiser to understand on Imax, but that could also be due to the fact that Imax was my second viewing.
