The Dark Knight Rises Batman out in the daylight

[truth]

I don't think any of y'all have addressed my point:

Bane's henchmen or some other thugs are there....Batman dressed in BLACK fighting in the DAY is an easy target for them. Surely, all they need to do is shoot him and that's it.
This is PRESUMING that it takes place in the day, which I surely doubt

 

[Troy_Parker]

Just because a lot of the scenes in TDK were converted into night doesn't mean it's going to happen here...

 

[imposserus]

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

notwithstanding the time of day
no thug can easily kill the batman
guns bombs knives or supernatural abilities... killing the batman is hard to do

um....has anyone ever been hit in the head with a hard elbow...? I wouldn't try it...it looks quite painful...

yes, and i took a nap
it was like a baseball bat with a brick taped to it
i'm not super keen on the cinematic qualities of kfm
but i wouldn't want to have to deal with it in a battle

Everybody trying to convince themselves that the scene will take place at night regardless is a moron.

If the story calls for the fight to take place during the day, SO BE IT.

Of course Batman's full effect works best at night, but it's flat out ignorant to think that he'd just wait until nightfall if Bane were to, let's say, call him out during the day and start reaking chaos just to make sure he showed up.

Sure...like Bruce is just going to wait around until the PM and let Bane murder innocent people.

The bottom line is that, looking at the photos, you have no idea when it takes place in the film...therefore you have no idea what set of circumstances lead up to it. For all you know, him fighting with Bane in daylight is going to make absolute, perfect sense.

Besides, if anything you can ease up...the shot of him and Bane in the teaser about to go at it not only takes place at night but in the rain...so stop worrying about what in all probability is just a lightweight first round compared to the final confrontation.

and uhh, agree!

Filming in the daytime allows for a stronger contrast between characters in darker clothing or costumes. It also allows the director to control how much light/dark is applied to the scene. Nolan shot many of the scenes in TDK in daylight and used a film conversion to make them night scenes. You can also add a lot more dramatic lighting ontop of an already lit scene a lot better than say filming a night scene and trying to lighten it. It just gives the director more control with the colors/contrast.

imposserus, killing the batman at NIGHT is hard to do. Because he moves super fast, is stealthy and is hard to see AT NIGHT. So shoot all you want, it's hard to hit something that moves fast dressed in black at NIGHT.

Something dressed in black in DAY, is VERY easy to see, no matter how fast it moves. Pure Logic

you forget that it's still the batman

most swat teams wear black (or deep navy)
and they'll rush you during the day... regardless of lighting conditions



and they would be considerably easier to kill than the batman

don't take him for a chump

 

[moviedoors]

It's called day to night conversion in compositing. Here's a tutorial if you want to know how to do it yourself. http://www.videocopilot.net/tutorial/day_to_night_conversion/

end of thread :P

Yes, I think most of us are aware of the process of day-for-night. How does this settle it and make it a certainty that this is a night scene?

 

[TheDarkKnight08]

I don't see what's so hard to believe about they turning day into night during post or this scene actually serving the story in some way instead of Nolan saying "You know what, **** every fan out and their pre-conceived notions of Batman, let's have him stalk the day instead." I seriously doubt that.

This can really be applied to any aspect of the film we've seen so far, no matter what side they're on: We don't have anything to go on other than a bunch of behind the scenes pictures taken by people that shouldn't be taking them in the first place. I'm a lifelong Batman-fan. I may love Nolan and his films, but I wouldn't go as far as to defend his every decision, but I will say this to those who either hate him or love him blindly: we don't know that much yet.

 

[BatSpider]

what the hell is the big deal about fighting in the day lol

 

[Sith Scotti]

I hope the enire film is in daylight . It is absolutely idiotic to think no grave threats happen during the day .

 

[truth]

Scotti, the day a batman film gets made where it is mostly during daylight, is the day that I personally attack the director for doing such a thing

 

[Troy_Parker]

Before this thread goes all crazy and splits in two, I'll just say these things:

Having a Batman movie set completely during the day is like having a Spider-Man movie where it's set at night, it just wouldn't work. BUT, having a few key scenes during the day (I'm talking about Batman now, obviously) is not entirely a bad thing.

As many have said, Batman would be a bad hero if he just thought "****. Bane's wreaking havok in the middle of the day! I can't go out, I'll just stay in until it's darker." It takes a real hero to be out of his/her element, and still come out on top.

I'm not saying that this scene is definitely during the day, but it seems to be. I know Nolan converted day to night and **** for TDK and his other movies, but think about it, a lot of the key scenes and battles took place at night in his previous movies. It'd be another thing entirely to have this madman call out Batman at a time when he's rarely seen... in short, I want to see Batman and Bruce duke it out during the day on the sole fact that it would freaking awesome.

 

[Ethernaut]

Question, didn't Batman show up in the day at the beginning of TDK when Gordon was inside the bank. He appears in the vaults where the money was taken and talks to Gordon.

So, yes, Batman *has* appeared in the day.

 

[Hotwire]

You guys realize that you're basically arguing who's the better guesser? Unless one of you is part of the film crew, or have a copy of the script, that's all you're doing. Guessing how this scene will play out in the finished film.

Not only that, but some are acting as though the whole movie will take place in the day time. All of this filming is for probably about 15-30 minutes of screen time. Relax.

 

[The Guard]

A ninja understands that invisibility is largely a matter of patience and agility. Not a matter of people not being able to see you (despite your big gold belt) at night.

Batman isn't seen when he doesn't want to be. Clearly this will be a sequence when he'll want his presence to be known. There are good arguments for having him come out in the daytime if the situation truly calls for it.

 

[BrollySupersj]

I prefer Batman to do all his crime fighting at night. But since the stakes are far too high to avoid being seen in TDKR, I'm ok with him being in daylight. Gotta do what ya gotta do to say the city!

 

[Piuchén]

I am sure we´ll see this fight at night but if not I´m ok with Batman fighting Bane during the day.

 

[GregComicFan]

For all we know, everyone in the world finds out Bruce Wayne is Batman in TDKR. At that point, there would be no reason for secrecy anymore.

 

[CrimsonDeath]

"I know why you choose to have your little, ahem...group therapy sessionsin broad daylight. I know why you're afraid to go out at night. The Batman."


I'm guessing Batman will have a reason of utmost importance to be fighting during the day, if indeed it will end up looking like that during the actual film.

I think it's great that Batman is willing to risk it when the dire situation calls for it, going against the conventions of the villains who think they are safe to do as they wish in broad daylight.

I think that if this scene takes place before nightfall, if might be the exception that breaks the norm, and nicely done to showcase the courage to fight it out against Bane and his mercenaries and the cops that perhaps still want to take down the Batman.

And if the thugs want to shoot down Batman, I don't think Batman would let them hit him even though they could hit him. Bane would be arrogant enough to order his goons to stay back and stand down-Batman is his alone.

 

[bosef982]

Haven't seen a thread on this-

So far, we have seen primarily -- if almost exclusively -- daytime shots in this movie, especially with this latest chase scene.

Thoughts on all this. Shooting day for night maybe? Symbolic choice maybe? What do you guys think is going on here?

 

[KalMart]

I like it...especially since it's Winter. Gives it a grey, bleak, apocalyptic feel. Probably wouldn't be as appropriate if it looked like a clear sunny Spring day or what have you.

 

[Carnotaur3]

No, I'm willing to bet a good chunk of the film takes place during the day. This is most likely a theme for the film in that there is no where anybody can now hide.

 

[Wedge A.]

I think it will become night, or at least seem much darker on film.

 

[KalMart]

I think it will become night, or at least seem much darker on film.

Probably more overcast and later in the day/afternoon...not quite noon and sunny.

 

[Ultimatehero]

I think the apocalyptic idea was brilliant, instantly reminded me of 'The Road' and how lighting effected that film:
