The Dark Knight Rises Batman out in the daylight

[BatBat]

Well its obviously the same suit which is fine. The suit in Begins looked good, but was too slow for the fights with Bane. The TDK suit was more realistic, so it was better for Nolanverse.

The suit can still have the same "realism" and not have to look that bad. The only reason it looks the way it does is to match Nolan's Tumbler. :/

If they turn this into night, then it's all good. If they keep the fight taking place during the day, even better. I want to see which circumstances brought him out during the day in full suit, as opposed to TDK where he managed to do missions during the day as Bruce.

Maybe he's a puzzle fan?

The TDK suit is more realistic? That's new...

I like the TDK suit because it allows Batman to turn his head (in fact it's the first Batman suit to allow head turning!), plus it has fold lines with meshes that look like they've come out of sports gear for the skin to breathe. It makes more sense in that regard, for all these aspects to be present for fighting and all-night patrols. Plus it's less of a burden to Christian Bale and his double.

While the BB suit was pretty cool, it meant that all the fight scenes would be blurry, Batman would never be able to be fully lighted, and he would always look stiff necked, for that I'd rather have the TDK suit a hundred times over.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I'd rather have a good looking suit thats also fuctional but thats just me.

Well that's the ideal, but in real life, it seems we can't have it all. Not yet that is. Spandex doesn't work out of the comics, and we've seen the pitfalls of a fully latex suit.

ps: I thought Thor was a better movie than Capt America :P But then I've always had a soft spot for fantasy.

 

[a cupcake mess]

I doubt Bats is gonna say, "Listen, I don't do day, so I'm gonna let you wreak havoc, and I'll see you after sunset."

Lmao, and with this, I will have lovely mental pictures all day.

 

[Keyser Soze]

I think having a big climactic fight scene during the day ties into the title of The Dark Knight Rises. He's stepping out of the shadows and fully emerging into his role as Gotham's protector. Fighting during the day, in front of the city no less, is representative of that.

 

[a cupcake mess]

I REALLY doubt they are turning the scene into night. Yeah, there will be color correction/timing/balence done in post, but Nolan isn't going to completely change this scene into night. Stop..PLEASE STOP IT with the "it'll be turned into night in post" stuff. IT'S NOT HAPPENING. This scene takes place in the DAYLIGHT and it's part of the story as to why that is. JUST DEAL WITH IT!

Do you work on the set or post production? He could if he wanted. How do you think 30 Days of Night was filmed? A movie with "Night" in the title that was shot primarly in the daytime.

He could if he wanted. But Nolan, who has a long history of avoiding CGI if he can help it, probably wouldn't want to. If he wants to do a night scene, he could always just shoot at night, like he did with the night-time setpieces in The Dark Knight.

 

[truth]

Ok then, let's try and be real
then. How can Batman honestly get out of this situation?

If he tried to be covert, perhaps using his gadgets or his tumbler as an automatic device then yeah.

He is in a CROWD, and I presume Bane's henchmen are there as well or other thugs? Surely they have an easy target and can simply just shoot Batman who is clearly visible.

I mean, there are ways of him fighting Bane without getting out in the open for any thug to easily kill him

I'll say this, these films are sorely lacking in Bruce's other personas... like Matches Malone. Something like that would have been perfect for saving Reese and that whole thing with the sniper team and attack on Gordon in TDK. The absence of those features is yet another indication that Nolan's Batman is not the detective his comic counterpart is.

I was saying the exact same thing a couple of months ago in a thread, not so much the Reese rescue scene, but the other scene with the blindfolded cops. Going in there as Bruce Wayne with no disguise was dumb. I also suggested a Matches Malone type disguise would have been ideal for that scene, because it would have been so easy for the cops not have been blindfolded, and what's he gonna say, 'Em, hi, as you know I'm the famous Bruce Wayne, just looking for a toilet!'

But, I don't see that it should be *that* much of a problem having Batman in costume out there during the day. Of course Nolan was probably hesitant in case he looked a little silly standing out in the sun in a big hefty outfit, losing some of the mystique as well. But if it is shot the right way, he can still carry the same mystique and gravitas.

The Reese rescue scene, shot the way it was, could just as easily have been done with the Tumbler, with BM driving off without getting out of the car, that is, if it had not been blown up! So, there is some logic there for BM not making an appearance, and Bruce's cover story was fine I thought, it was also nice to see the exchange of looks between Bruce and Reese.

I guess Nolan did not go for the Matches Malone type disguises as, y'know, they can look silly on film, they can look a bit 'joke shop'. But he could even have had Bruce go in to the blindfolded cops with a small crash helmet on(as he just arrived there by bike). He goes to too much trouble protecting his ID to just go walking into crime scenes, where you might expect action, as Bruce Wayne.

edit: and that scene was all about stealth, so having Batman in his outfit during the day was not really viable, some kind of disguise should have been used though.

They're probably going to simply manipulate the scene after the fact to make it take place at night.

Absolutely NOT. Nolan is a man who prides himself on shooting in the conditions that are laid out in his scripts. He will never shoot an entire scene during the DAY, and then MANIPULATE it in post. Never. If it was a night scene, he would have shot it at night. The whole point of this occurring during the day, it the fact that things are GOING REALLY, REALLY BAD, and Batman is forced to abandon all his techniques; I mean, it's a full on street brawl! I think bringing Batman out during the day speaks to the level of THREAT he's facing in this film. Nolan is not Zack Snyder or JAmes Cameron; Nolan loves to keep things natural, and he will not manipulate things to the point of changing day to night. That just isn't going to happen. Period. The whole point of this scene is that it takes place during the day; it's a full on war zone.

I think that's big load of ********. I think it will be night or at least dusk after post-production work on in. Nolan made day scenes darker in The Dark Knight, why not in this one? Besides the snow just doesn't work dramatically enough in daylight.

 

[GreySpider]

If you watch the video of them fighting theres a giant war/riot going on where Bats and Bane are fighting amongst a massive crowd of people fighting. Its and epic war between Bane and Bats, not some stealthy fight in a warehouse. I dont think that destroys the "fantasy" of it, in fact, it takes that fantasy, and uses it to make the scene more dramatic, because we know Batmans usual shtick and so obviously its not a game if hes out and about during the day. I honestly see zero validity that question. It makes perfect sense.

 

[Spudjnr123]

Just as a point of contention...people were making day-to-night films WAY before digital manipulation. Nolan uses all kinds of light filters, colored lamps, and other in-production tricks to film. It is not out of the range of possibility to see him really closing in the aperture of the camera, throwing on a filter, and using lighting to reduce day-shadow. It's funny how much people think they know. Just wait and see. Has Nolan REALLY let us down yet?

 

[Tojo]

I wasn't enamoured with the concept at first, but in all honesty i don't care now, aslong as it sits right in the story. I think we had enough Dark Knight in the previous two films, and now this has an epic, bloody battle feel to it. I'm even hoping that the final confrontation between Bane and Bats takes place at dawn. An all nighter that get's settled as the sun is rising. Awesome.

 

[Troy_Parker]

I think the set pictures we're seeing of Bane and Batman's fight is from this scene in the trailer, this scene might be specially made for the trailer, but it just looks a little too much like it has been taken out of a key scene in the movie, to me at least... it looks like Batman's been beaten within an inch of his life, and he's on the ground looking up. It's not at night either, clearly.

nah that's just computer graphics

 

[ggghhh]

A city with a batsymbol shaped hole in the skyline is definitely not part of the movie.

The Hong Kong base jump scene was day-for-night. So...

 

[LiamNeeson]

The Hong Kong base jump scene was day-for-night. So...

I think it was because of safety issues. They wouldn't allow them their shenanigans on top of a building that high at night.

 

[jazzmatik]

Agreed, just like how TDK poster had a building branded with the batsymbol in flames, and that was certainly not a scene in the movie.

 

[hegele]

The Hong Kong base jump scene was day-for-night. So...

Not exactly. It was green screened (in a studio) over real helicopter shots of Hong Kong at night. Big difference.

The riot will likely feel a lot colder, blue, desaturated... but it will be set during the day.
