batman gets broken back, wayne corps develops groundbreaking medical appliances, gotham's economy is revived by the growth of its biotech & manufacturing sectors, crime goes down. a rising dark knight raises all boats.

I totally don't have a problem with this. I do have a problem with telling the same origin story over and over.

Batman drops his "no guns" stance, shoots Bane in head with bazooka.

for ex. Singer's "Superman" reboot was totally stupid but at least it wasn't a retread of material

any bets on whether Liam Neeson shows up in this in flashbacks or if he's actually in some part?
― mh, Wednesday, 2 May 2012 16:15 (eleven years ago) link
I honestly didn't mind it. I thought Kevin Spacey was the wrong pick for Lex Luthor.

Superman is JEWISH for fuck's sake
My bet on Neeson is flashback.

Unless Nolan goes balls-out and actually brings in the Lazarus Pit to re-introduce Neeson/heal Bruce Wayne after Bane fucks him up.
― i love the large auns pictures! (Phil D.), Wednesday, 2 May 2012 16:22 (eleven years ago) link
Nolan won't bring in anything explicitly magical/unrealistic
― Roger Barfing (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 2 May 2012 16:24 (eleven years ago) link
It's actually not a bad idea to let Nolan get real dark before a reboot, considering audiences wound up giving more money to Batman Forever than Batman Returns. Though it depends how dark is dark and how much the next movie is really a "reboot".

He's always grounded that stuff as cutting-edge Wayne Industries/military R&D stuff, though.

guys what if Bane's mask gives him SUPER DRUG ENERGY and it's a SUPER DRUG that can bring someone back from near-death if you're directly exposed to it. like getting thrown in a pit of it can do that, but constant low-level exposure would make you super strong and give you great regenerative powers
this is definitely not what the plot will do, but hey, whatever

just watched batman begins again... hard to sympathise with the little kid in danger now i know he grows up to be king joffrey

I wouldn't write off the Lazarus Pit as they did some shooting in India and the Chand Baori step well is pretty what what I think one of those would look like.

Still stoked, but yeah, it's one of the earlier posters with added fire and dude.

Am I the only one who sees Batman looking at his crotch, waiting for his "Dark Knight" to rise?
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 22 May 2012 07:55 (eleven years ago) link
Also, why use such a bland and generic font for the title? It's a Batman movie!
theyve been using that typeface since batman begins, its brand continuity

At one point in the 3rd trailer I thought Batman looked slighter than usual, i.e. JGL rather than CB...?
― Sick Mouthy (Scik Mouthy), Tuesday, 22 May 2012 10:45 (eleven years ago) link
What point exactly?
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 22 May 2012 10:51 (eleven years ago) link
About 1:28 and 1:34 in.
― Sick Mouthy (Scik Mouthy), Tuesday, 22 May 2012 11:24 (eleven years ago) link
1:44 too; I know Bane is BIG, but Bale as Batman was beefed in the first film, and he looks diddy there.
― Sick Mouthy (Scik Mouthy), Tuesday, 22 May 2012 11:25 (eleven years ago) link
