The Dark Knight Rises 6 Minutes of TDKR footage attached to Mission Impossible 4! - - - - Part 13

[TDKR2012]

Because the CIA was supposed to bring Dr Pavel and the "Russian" guy only ( the one who says the "masked man ")

... i don't think so... I think the guy (the driver) who said "masked man", doesn't board the plane... The CIA guy actually hands him a silver briefcase in exchange for Dr. Pavel. It is assumed (as in the viral marketing), that 3 Million USD is in that briefcase.

Ah ok


But Im pretty sure the driver goes to Gotham ( maybe he boarded the hijack plane)
He is in one of the Bane pics in Gotham

I assumed the same thing about the briefcase. I wonder what the plan is with the money. Probably buy more munitions or more likely build the WMD/earthquake device. My big question is how will Bruce react when he discovers that the CIA funded terrorists. Money and corruption are big themes in this series, but this is almost like good intentions gone wrong. How is Batman supposed to counteract that? He can't monitor all federal agencies to make sure another SNAFU like the botched Dr. Pavel exchange doesn't happen again.

And without the CIA's $3 million would Bane even be able to build the WMD in the first place?

I've watched the prologue many times now. Every time I watch it it's better than before. It's seriously gruesome what Bane does to CIA dudes throat. Pay attention to that millisecond it's seriously visceral.

I saw! He crushed his windpipe or something!

If he fakes his death in Gotham and goes to take over the League of Shadows at the end of the movie, then he could have League men keeping watch for such corruption.

I haven't been following this thread too closely so I apologize if this has already been brought up, but did anyone else think the beginning of the prologue (Gordon) was out of place and unnecessary? It makes me wonder if that will be the beginning of the film or if it will start with the plane heist.

TDKR prologue isn't as completely stand alone as TDK. It's clear that the remifications of the actions in the prologue will be further clarified.

Kind of. I like the implication it has preceding what we see with Bane, but it does come across a somewhat awkward transition for me. I guess the one thing I appreciate is that at the very least that being there makes the Plane Sequence not too shamelessy clone of the method used to introduce the Joker with the standalone Bank Heist sequence. The less Bane seems like someone to copy and fill the Joker's void and more like a unique, individual entity that fits into the wide ensemble the better he'll be, IMHO.

or they wanted to show you how much greater the IMAX shots are to the standard 35mm

 

[Travesty]

I like TDKR prologue much more than the Bank Heist. Plus, I think Bane's theme/chant is much more powerful.

I thought that too, but if the whole film is supposed to be about Bruce Wayne inspiring gotham better than Harvey Dent ever could. Then it's quite fitting to start with that, don't you think?

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

I think there is a good possibility the Gordon prologue foreshadows the very end of the film.

Indeed.

Quite possible.

I agree, but I hope that the scene is extended or moved around. A 10 second clip of Gordon saying how he "believed in Harvey" and it will be a long time "before someone inspires us the way he did" just seems like a strange way to open the film. But I guess if it started with the plane heist sequence it would feel too similar to TDK.

 

[The_Raganork]

Also...this film will be heavy on Harvey Detn's impact.

 

[CelticPredator]

I still think that isn't the final opening sequence. I refuse to believe it until July. If it is...then eh. But It's too disjointed. Dispite the fanboy attacking on the subject.

If they didn't take it out of the prologue in which it makes no sense whatsoever...they won't take it out of the movie in which presumably it would make sense in context.

What feels disjointed to you?

I agree, but it being a quick 10 second clip essentially rehashing events in the previous film seems like a, for lack of a better word, weak way to begin the final film. Perhaps if it were intercut with the audience in the eulogy grieving over the loss, show some crying people, whatever. But a close up of Gordon giving a quick speech just seems strange to me, I hope it's at least extended to show some emotional impact or something.

 

[shauner111]

maybe the end will mirror the intro but with Gordon talking about Bruce, telling the truth this time, with a much longer and emotional/uplifting scene. Assuming Bruce dies or fakes his death, whatever. Maybe thats the point of the Dent Eulogy in the beginning, and the reason why its done quickly. to show the GENERAL audience that yes this is a continuation of the themes from the last movie (showing them something familiar before we hit you over the head for 6 minutes about a relatively unknown villain and his plans involving a random doctor) AND to show the entire audience....that this whole Dent lie thats being told in the eulogy will unfold throughout the next 2 hours. A good setup if you ask me. A strong way to begin the final film IMO.

 

[Brain Damage]

The Gordon thing is honestly one of my favorite moments in any of the Batman movies so far. It's quick, but it immediately shows you that TDK's events still have a major impact on the city, that Gotham is currently not an ideal place to be and just sets up the tone of the movie as a very bleak one.

Plus, it's a nice metaphor for Bane, who even from his first scene clearly is a great source of inspiration, albeit in a much different way than Harvey, but I think we will see these parallels develop much further in the rest of the movie.

It's great because Gary Oldman IS Jim Gordon, don't you agree?

I only have this problem with the bank heist: the bus is clearly seen driven out of the bank before it gets in between the other busses. Nobody noticed?
