He was obviously too y. Alfred tried to warn him about his speed and strength, but Bruce was too naive into thinking he was another Ra's Al Ghu's minors yet he ran into a buzz saw.
he changed his strategy and went for the mask, but he still did it by beating his ass and punching him multiple times in the face straight up. dude could have like swung off a building and super kicked him in the mask or something, cmon it's batman he's supposed to use his agility.
or shot him with the grappling hook with the mask and then retrieved it, ripping off the mask, that would have been cool. like he did to the clown in batman returns, pulling a chunk of the wall out with the grappling hook and hitting him on the retrieval.

I kinda want to see it again solely for Batman / Bane round 1
the first fight scene and the escape from the plane scene gotta be a tie for number 1 imho
The plane scene was so much better in IMAX that it was ridiculous.
In that first fight scene in particular you could tell how part of the inspiration for his voice is Darth Vader. That scene was very reminiscent of Skywalker's fight with Vader in Empire Strikes back in a couple aspects.
First Batman-Bane fight sequence is one of if not the best showdowns I've seen. Add on the fact that Selena finds out who he is as he getting his as handed to him and there is nothing she can do about...that is a scene I will never forget.
+1
Bane gives that exposition to Batman during the first fight as to why "the dark belongs to him"
Against Bane, Batman's stealth is pointless.
Vader not even close. More like a really bad Sean Connery. His voice was so overmodulated at times I couldnt understand wtf he was saying.
The first fight he was extremely y because coming off the layoff, he busted on the scene, chased bane away, or so he so he thought, and embarrassed the cops with ease. So he was thinking he was gonna take him out relatively easy. it was ego and all those years of wanting a reason to get back out there and show who he was again to gotham. plus he had lost all fear of dying.
The second figjt was in broad daylight so stealth wasnt an option considering it didnt even work in the dark. And I interpreted his second fight with bane as
1) wanting to fight bane with face to face to prove to the people that were fighting by his side that he wasnt afraid. Kinda like taking down goliath
2) wanting to face his fear, that he had lost, and prove to himself that he could take bane in the same way he was had in the first fight....using all the pent up angry while he was in the pit
Just my thoughts
Yup, the pacing was amazing.
I always have to suspend disbelief. I always have problems with the military stuff in these movies. Fusion bombs have been around for 60 years. Its called a damn Hydrogen bomb. Missiles can't chase a vehicle down and there's no way a glorified helicopter is going to out run a missile. I HATE scenes where the missiles fly around forever making these insane turns and then just run out of gas (or hit something else). They're just cliche but they're also unrealistic as . You're going to tell me no one found the Bat in 5 months while it was on a roof? The people investigating the initial plane crash didn't find anything weird about the wings of the plane being so far from the actual fuselage? What good does xfering some blood into the dead body do? Its all going to burn off anyway. How was the cargo plane able to fly while DRAGGING another plane?
I can go on and on. At some point you just realize you're watching a movie about a dude in a bat costume who flies around beating bad guys up and you learn to ignore the details that don't matter in favor of a well designed plot, characters, and good acting.
How was he supposed to use stealth in the middle of the day with only minutes left to get the job done? They were out of time. They had to just go straight in and hope for the best.
Exactly! Suspending belief if part of enjoying these movies. I would say nolan has done a great job of making these films grounded in some sense of reality. If your going to nitpick because the snow is not melting in real time, then you shouldnt be watching these movies.
Just came back from the movie

Here's the ending, while it lasts on youtube. I got chills in the theater in that moment when Alfred looks up and the theme hits.
What a spectacular movie. Easily the best movie of the summer. Very well done. I liked the storylines and how Bane was used. Christopher Nolan is the . I have seen every film of his except Insomnia and loved them all. Great way to end the series.

I liked how Nolan integrated Grayson's personality and Tim Drake's origin story in 1 person
Oh and I puked when I saw Raplessberger's face

'The Dark Knight Rises' reportedly earns $160 million in opening weekend
Published: Monday, July 23, 2012, 9:27 AM
By The Associated Press The Associated Press
"The Dark Knight Rises" was on track to earn $160 million, which would be a record for 2-D films, over the weekend following a mass shooting at a Colorado screening of the Batman film. Citing box office insiders, The Hollywood Reporter, Los Angeles Times, New York Times and other media outlets reported Sunday that the latest Batman sequel earned $160 million to $162 million.
Christian Bale reprises his role as Batman / Bruce Wayne in director Christopher Nolan's trilogy-capping 'The Dark Knight Rises.'
That amount would best the $158.4 million debut of "The Dark Knight" in 2008 and give "Dark Knight Rises" the third-highest domestic weekend opening ever, after the 3-D films "The Avengers" with $207.4 million and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows -- Part 2" with $169.2 million.
The Hollywood Reporter also cited box office sources who said "Dark Knight Rises" earned $70 million from nine of the 17 countries where it debuted over the weekend, including the United Kingdom, Australia, South Korea and Spain.
Tickets for 3-D films cost a few more dollars than 2-D screenings, netting extra cash at the box office. Movies released in 3-D typically earn under half of their income in 3-D screenings, sometimes as little as a third.
Sony, Fox, Disney, Paramount, Universal and Lionsgate joined "Dark Knight Rises" distributor Warner Bros in publicly withholding their usual revenue reports out of respect for the victims of the deadly shooting early Friday and their families.
Box-office tracking service Rentrak also did not report figures following the Aurora, Colo., shootings that killed 12 and injured 58 at a midnight screening of the new Batman sequel on Friday.
"This tragedy did not seem to impact the box office in a major way," said Paul Dergarabedian, an analyst for Hollywood.com who specializes in box office. "For this film to still be in the rarified air of the top-three openings of all time is phenomenal, given the unfortunate cir stances surrounding the release of this film."
Dergarabedian noted that the box-office ranking of director Christopher Nolan's final installment of his Batman trilogy would not be official until Warner Bros. and other studios release their final weekend box-office tallies Monday.
Anne Hathaway, who plays Catwoman in the film, became the third member of "The Dark Knight Rises" cast and crew to express her condolences after arriving home in the United States from Paris, where Warner Bros. quickly canceled a premiere Friday night.
"My heart aches and breaks for the lives taken and altered by this unfathomable senseless act," the actress said in a statement. "I am at a loss for words how to express my sorrow. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families."

I guess the auto-pilot wasn't fixed in that version.
