I came in to say I'm watching rises and for all its faults I love how Bale plays Bruce in this film.

But you missed the point I was trying to make. Bale stated the film is about consequences. I am saying that Truth takes a large thematic part in the film as well. As the trilogy progresses, the people of Gotham become more aggressive as a consequence of Batman's actions.

And for sure, Bale delivers his best (IMHO) performance of the trilogy in Rises. |

But because he was so damn good, and looked amazing in the suit, it really makes me wish there was more of him actually in it. But when he is on screen as Batman; you really feel the importance of the symbol that he created in BB. I just love the way he walks through the flare smoke during the "light it up" scene. |

Ironically "Batman Returns" would probably be a more accurate title for TDKR than it is for its own movie, seeing as Batman really wasn't "returning" from anything in BR, lol. |

He "returned" to theaters, that's what it was.

"Is that what they say about me?" And that Batman Begins music that played at the beginning in the prison. Brilliant!

Fourth-wall breaking titles ftw lol
That moment gave me chills and broke my heart all at the same time. It's like Bruce has come so far since that prison, yet he was right back where he started: a broken man with no direction. Last edited by BatLobsterRises; 06-09-2013 at 09:31 PM. |

All the call backs were great because they were in service of the story, not shoe-horned in.

Bale was phenomenal in Begins and TDKR...
![]() He was good but not quite up there in TDK. He certainly wasn't phoning it in, but I still don't think he was giving his absolute best.

Talia was too much of an enigma in the narrative to explore anything of the class variety. What was hinted at is moot because she turned out to be a villain anyway. Quote:

I dont see them as more aggressive. In TDK some guys also accept Joker's challenge and try to kill Reese .
They react , like they always do (and like moderns society also does) , in complete apathy. Rises is extremely coherent in that process. |

Now I'm not a big box office buff... but just how much did the lack of 3D affect the final total of TDKR's income?

It's a shame we never got more interviews like these.

(I'm not trivializing the shooting in any way, but the news and constant media discussion of the "Batman shooting" did have an effect on TDKR's box office.)

God I love Charlie Rose's interviews. They're always awesome and it's the type of interview that Bale actually looks like he enjoys doing. He's done that for almost all of his movies.

Add about 10% to the domestic total and 15% to the overseas total. So around $45m extra in the domestic market and around $95m extra in the overseas market. Then there is the shooting in the domestic market. I think it probably lost $30-40m in the domestic market as a result of the shooting. So total "loss" of around $170-180m worldwide.

Goes to show the power Nolan has in resisting the studio's demands for 3D. Same thing will happen with Interstellar, except this time he will be resisting a studio he has no built-in clout with (Paramount). They forced Abrams to convert Star Trek 2 to 3D, but I doubt they will be able to do the same thing to Nolan. He probably had it put in writing for his contract that they can't convert it.
