The Darknight Rises: Thoughts?

[DPG21920]

Did no one else get the same vibe as me when Batman was beating Bane and started yelling "tell me who is the trigger man, I know you wouldn't leave it to a normal person..." - How that was similar to when he lost it with The Joker in the interrogation room?

[DPG21920]

Ya - that part with Bane telling that guy "do you feel like you are in control" was boss. I have thought about that so many times when I am sitting around in a public setting - how many people feel they have control and how would they react if something went haywire, how would I react?

I also loved how Bane in the first fight was just basically taking Batman's best shots and letting himself get hit and it didn't even phase him . It's like when I watch a boxing match or have seen a UFC fight and I think "if Brock Lesner let me punch him as hard as I could in the face would it even hurt him - what the would happen to me if I had to fight him"

Damn there's been a lot since I've been in here. First off, why the is there 2 other TDKR threads? wtf is that? Anyways, awesome movie. I think it could've been a 4 hour long movie tbh. I wouldn't have minded seeing more of the underground strategizing going on between Gordon, his crew, and the trapped cops while Bane had the city on lockdown. I also loved the times when Wayne was in the prison, I would've loved to see more with him and the 2 cellmates.

Regardless, I don't know how I'd rank them all but easily the most epic of the 3 just like with most other great trilogies: Star Wars, TLotR, the man with no name trilogy, Indiana Jones

First movie is always more personal and main character based. Second is more dark and brooding. Third is more widescale with more characters involved

I guess this is the new DKR thread...

yup. I swear I've never wanted to get up and start screaming and throw fake punches like I did when Batman started to beat Bane. If I was at home alone I probably would have. His resilience and tenacity after getting his ass kicked pretty much reminded me of who he is, not some cop that goes rogue and knows some karate but rather a former elite student of Ra's. Even though Bane is so physically intimidating, there's a reason Ra's called him his greatest student ever.

"if Brock Lesner let me punch him as hard as I could in the face would it even hurt him - what the would happen to me if I had to fight him"

lol bad example. Pretty sure a butterfly could land on Brock Lesnar's face and he'd go tumbling

That scene and quote perfectly sums up the character of Bane in that movie.

First Bane-Batman fight scene in ty quality. YouTube will probably take it down soon.

This was almost a five minute long curbstomping. Nolan definitely gave the Bane fans what they wanted.

When live action Bane did live action this... pretty sure the guys sitting next to me in the theater heard my O noise.

Thanks for posting. This was one of the best ass whippings by a villian to a hero in any movie, and it only made the 2nd confrontation with the 2 of them feel that much more gratifying when the tables were turned.

[MannyIsGod]

Gonna go see it again.

[CuckingFunt]

Gonna go see it again.

Ditto. Probably at least a couple more times.

, I'd go back tomorrow if I didn't have a paper to write and a trip to get ready for all in the next few days.

I don't agree with your characterization of what he became just because Talia turned out to be the kid who escaped. He still plotted everything that happend and carried it out. He still kicked Batman's ass.

In the end he was just carrying out Talia's plan to avenge her father's death. He tricked people to believe in an ideal that he didn't truly believe in, he was just doing it to appease his pedolove with Talia. that whole ending. Bane deserved better.

Projection, dude. There's absolutely nothing in the film itself to suggest they weren't his ideals or that he was carrying out her plan.

Until they made him a pedo got.

[monosylab1k]

Projection, dude. There's absolutely nothing in the film itself to suggest they weren't his ideals or that he was carrying out her plan.

Except that they WERE her plans. She clearly was there to avenge her father's death and "fulfill his destiny". Why else is Bane there? Sorry but Nolan turned a badass villain into a pedo lovesick emo . It sucks.

[redzero]

It's what EVERYBODY in the League wanted. Bane was a member before Talia was even born. I don't know why you are claiming otherwise.

[monosylab1k]

He was excommunicated for bull reasons. Talia said so. Talia was the same way until Batman killed her father. SHE SAID SO. Then out of revenge she wanted to fulfill her father's destiny, and when she wanted that PedoBain was there to be her puppet.

[redzero]

Just because he was excommunicated doesn't he magically dropped his belief system. Nothing Talia wanted to do went against Bane's beliefs.

so he ignored his pedolove and stuck to his guns. If only Sandusky did the same thing.

Sorry but the gy tear down Bane's cheek betrays you.

WHAT?????? Lolololol

[redzero]

I didn't claim anything about him ignoring anything. You still haven't explained how it's impossible for him to want to destroy Gotham for Talia and for the League of Shadows (the group in which he was previously a member)

[UZER]

Why do yall keep saying pedobane? He just cared for a little girl born in a prison. He was trying to protect a kid. And the fact the she calls him his friend at the end was there to show it wasnt that kind of relationship they had.

[CuckingFunt]

WHAT?????? Lolololol

I saw it much more as Bane working with Talia, rather than Bane working for Talia

[CuckingFunt]

Why do yall keep saying pedobane?

Mono needed an excuse for Sandusky jokes.

[UZER]

1) Nolan did a good job of establishing how ruthless and violent Bane was that when Batman is first caged in....my heart was pounding....felt the eminent doom coming.

2) Seeing Batman fly in front of the cops on the batpod in the tunnel was awesome since I got the same rush the cops did because I hadn't seen him in four years (real time) either. His comment to the rookie cop, something along the lines of "you gonna have fun tonight" was great because he had seen Batman in action before.


I let myself enjoy this movie without trying to nitpick. I'll do that later. For now, I let myself feel like a kid again since I felt like "my" batman started with Michael keaton when I was a kid, and ended with Bale retiring. Kinda felt like I was watching Duncan retire....so to speak.

[redzero]

I mean, if Bane was just some random prisoner with no League of Shadows connections, I could see mono's point. But he wasn't.
