Come anticipate "The Dark Knight Rises" with *BATSPOILERS*

haha

Length: 2h45m

and that's just the trailer

Seems crazy but that's like 10 minutes longer than The Dark Knight.

10 mins for extra brooding.

god this thing better not have like 17 endings

The last hour is all the characters sailing off across the sea towards the grey havens, IIRC from the book.

They resolve it by explaining this whole series has all been taking place in Joseph Gordon-Levitt's dreamstate mind. It ends with 20 minutes of talking. Then a machine gun fight on skis.

Bale, Oldman and Gordon-Levitt were on the MTV Movie awards last night showing a little clip. JGL has the most bizarre, contrived-sounding speaking voice when he's 'himself' on TV and not in a movie role, noticed it when he hosted SNL too.

i chalk it up to him being a child actor.

so glad they didn't go with Sweaty Bigface as the Riddler, *yikes*

Advance tickets for sale now and this fucker is selling out like crazy, can't get anything I want on Fandango.

Looks like there's one more trailer...

starting to get really amped about this.

i really dug the five minutes of footage before MI4 (note: was lifted), but i gotta be honest, the trailers for this have been pretty lame. ya ok, the football field collapses. and a couple bridges fall down. and a bunch of crowd scenes, which are always terrible.

yeah. i'll wait and see i guess

the daylight brawl footage could use some BOF!s and POW!s

this is kind of a silly criticism imo. it's a musical montage-driven trailer for a movie that they're trying to withhold plot details about, of course it's going to lean heavily on glimpses of big action setpieces and not give you much of an idea what actually watching the movie from scene to scene will be like.

i think s1oc was saying that the big spectacle stuff looks lame

I hear that Bane also wrecks Bruce Wayne financially, through the business dealings of his firm, Bane Capital.

It's mostly a legal drama about the case of Bane v Wayne.

The opening sequence looks (and by all accounts is) pretty cool

Nolan does good set pieces! The one opening that last film could be a film in itself.

I hear Bill Clinton has a lot of respect for the good work Bane has done.

yeah but i dunno "crowd scenes suck!" is a weird thing to say imo. as if a) any movie like isn't going to be to some extent about a SUPER VILLAIN TERRORIZING THE CITY OF GOTHAM, CUE SCREAMING CROWD and b) c'mon that'll be what 4 minutes of screentime in this thing?

any movie like THIS, meant to say

"A sensitive, crafty Dark Knight faces a heartless goliath named BAIN" vs. "A resourceful millionaire defends the American way from an aggrieved lunatic obsessed with the redistribution of wealth"

scenes where groups of people run at each other yelling are so rarely good

anyway, that's just one thing, i'm just not feeling ~dun dun dun~ *BRIDGE EXPLODES*

but then again, the airplane scene was pretty awesome. so who knows

the point is, that stuff doesn't really look exciting to me in the trailer, it just looks like a bunch of extras running and yelling

i don't disagree. just seems like an inevitable (and inevitably small, in this case) piece of any city-under-siege superhero movie.

actually from what i understand half the movie is people screaming in the streets in daylight and then bane kills batman and the second half is JGL crying

no spoilers

wooops

no no, s1ocki means he's crying because someone stole his car's spoilers

right?

first of all, i didnt admit that i was crying

i mean, i didnt SAY that i was crying

but you are crying, right

I'm crying because I meant da croupier and not s1ocki ;_;

s1ocki, if it makes you feel better, I'm not feeling the trailers, either

I don't have a theory tho

really can't tell much from trailers so wth
