less Marvel more Batman, guys
So this Bane guy seems not-too-cheery, huh?

Whenever I see a drawing or clip of him I think of the bad guy from "The Road Warrior."

hate bane. such a boring villain. glad that nolan didn't feel constrained by his appearance in the comics.
― Choc. Clusterman (contenderizer), Tuesday, 1 May 2012 18:09 (eleven years ago) link
he could've been constrained by a flamboyant top to show off those muscles, though, eh? /tuomas

I think the idea has some merit, but actual comic stories with the dude are not that interesting

constrained by a flamboyant top

Unlike most super dudes, Bane actually has an in-story explanation for those ridiculous muscles, so I think it's fitting he wears a rather flamboyant top to show them off.

the only super-dude whose muscles make no sense to me is skeletor. why's a walking skeleton got to be jacked? preposterous.

the thing about bane is he was created for a specific storyline, and nobody could really figure out what to do with him after that story was finished - so as a regular of bman's 'rogue's gallery' hes not so great, but for a one-off story (like a movie) he could be really effective

so he's genius + psychotic + super-roids? the shots of him in the trailer show him flanked by soldiers (as guards?), i wonder if there will be a 'military experiment' angle to him

i'm p curious as to what sort of origin this version of catwoman gets to have, if any
― zubaz fupa (elmo argonaut), Tuesday, 1 May 2012 18:43 (eleven years ago) link
it'd be funny if she was just an eccentric stripper
― Neil Young’s social media channels (some dude), Tuesday, 1 May 2012 18:44 (eleven years ago) link
Maybe it will be revealed she's called catwoman because she can lick her own butt, who knows!

i think it's just anne hathaway

she's using the same voice as from rachel getting married, if that gives a hint to what this catwoman will be all about.

The Pet Shop Boys as a very elegant Batman and Robin, this is a vision.

I would buy tickets for that.

my guess is that batman is captured, and that catwoman and JGL step in somehow?
― catbus otm (gbx), Tuesday, 1 May 2012 19:56 (eleven years ago) link
There are at least two shots in that trailer of it looks like Batman being thrown down a well.

oh, so John Kerry is in this?
― I'M THAT POSTA, AAAAAAAAAH (DJP), Tuesday, 1 May 2012 20:05 (eleven years ago) link

it turns out he's bat-mite

oh please let him be Clitoris Red Hood

Maybe JGL is Damian al-Ghul/Wayne.
― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 1 May 2012 20:24 (eleven years ago) link
or... maybe he's TALIA al-Ghul

who is left in the inception cast that isn't in this series, now? is it just juno and caprio?
― Philip Nunez, Tuesday, 1 May 2012 20:27 (eleven years ago) link
Maybe he's the cro-mag Bat-Man from Neal Adam's series. Or, even better, the evolved raptor Robin.

money is on Bane's "grows up in a prison" story somehow linked to Ra's al Ghul, either him being responsible for it or Bane recruited after that
― mh, Tuesday, 1 May 2012 20:29 (eleven years ago) link
um, Dileep Rao?

funny enough, if you were shooting frank miller's the dark knight, ellen page would be about right for the robin part.

Trailer looks great. Though I'm a bit surprised that Nolan seems to have taken those overblown, editorially-driven "big event" storylines from the 90s (Knightfall, Cataclysm) as the main inspiration for the story.

I thought about this too; if Gordon-Levitt is supposed to be a version of Dick Grayson/Nightwing, maybe the movie will end with Bruce Wayne dying/becoming paralyzed and Gordon-Levitt's character becoming the new Batman, just like they did with Dick Grayson in the recent "Batman RIP" comic book storyline. (IIRC, didn't Dick become Batman for a while in the original Bane story arc too, after Bane broke Bruce's back?) That way they could do both the "Bruce Wayne sacrifices everything" story and end the movie on a hopeful note, as well as set things up for the future Batman movies.
― Tuomas, Wednesday, 2 May 2012 09:15 (eleven years ago) link
I thought they were rebooting the franchise. So basically they could have Batman die and the world explode in a nuclear blast and it wouldn't stop the fact that in 5-6 years we'll be plunking down $$$ to see a new version of the Batman origin story.

maybe JG-L is just like his character in Inception where he doesn't really do much of anything but Nolan wrote him a part because he wanted him in the ensemble

He's be tossed around by Bane in zero gravity.
