The Dark Knight Rises Colour Scheme For Third Film...?!?!

[BlueLightning]

I didn´t see that post of yours. Every day you learn something I guess.

 

[Mutagen]

Right on, I didn't notice how fast you entered.

Thanks for clarifying.

I always interpreted:

• Batman Begins as the Sunrise, the beginning of the day, the beginning of Batman. That's the why of the slightly desaturated golden orange. And I think Wally Pfister himself mentioned it.
• The Dark Knight as the day into night transition, the happening of day itself, also various scenes taking place during daytime. That's the why of the blue. (What color is the sky during the day, kids? )
• Shadow Of The Bat as the Sunset, the ending of the day, the day is complete, as Batman will be (or at least "more" complete). The sunset it's known by it's intense red and orange colors. So I think it's logical for red to be the next one.

I'm still not convinced by the green hue. But as with Nolan, I'll trust Wally.

I think he means that white is abscence of color, as black is.

That depends on what are you talking about, if it's about the Spectrum of Light, and Ocular Perception, white is the sum of all colors and black is the lack of it, if it's on Print Tints, black is the sum of all colors (and an extra tint to give it a full black appearance) and white is the lack of colors. I think that's right.

Yeah, makes a lot of sense, thanks for the info .

hmm, tough question. i was leaning more towards the sepia/ orange/ brown theme towards the end of the trilogy, but they've already used that for BB. maybe they'll go with the purple/ red theme, but very subtle, just highlights mostly rather than the screen awashed in that tint like BB and TDK.

 

[scatterax]

what about having the color scheme for the poster being extreme. (like bright green if riddlers in it) and the color scheme for the actual film be like a subtle. (like tinted with black/darkness or grey?)

so u have 2 instead of 1, and u don't have to worry bout maching colors!

I like the look of Terminator Salvation. Scenes from the trailers alternate from extremely dark (blacks and grays) to stark white (exterior scenes) which could be good.

Especially if the film is set in the winter, BB3 could be visually stunning.

They should leave it blue. It looked really great for The Dark Knight and the blue color schemes is one of the first thing that comes to my mind when I think about Christopher Nolan's Gotham City (It just really works well for the world of these films take place in)....its like what the green color scheme did for The Matrix.

If its not broken I don't see a need to fix it.

I'm starting to lean toward red after submitting my vote for white. I still wanna see Batman in the snow, but blood red skies like in ASB&R when Bats is talking about it being a hunters night (not sure the issue), would work well too.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

What about red and blue, as in, the police are after him?

why stop there? lets add white. as in, he's an american!

 

[Ace of Knaves]

You know what I mean. I could imagine a poster for it with Batman on the edge of a rooftop, with the blue and red lights on him from the police cars on the ground below.

Or spot lights? What i mean is a colour scheme that shows Batman is on the run, that getting chased and avoiding the police will be a big part of the film.

 

[Mutagen]

Yellow when needed, much like they did for the chase scene in TDK. Black for everything else.

i like that poster idea.

 

[Dark Knight]

From how I saw it, I figured the colors were based on the time of day.

Batman Begins- Dusk
The Dark Knight- Night
Batman 3- Dawn??

There you go!

^^^There ya go....we have a winner!

I expect in the 3rd one it will be more of a red color filter to be used.

 

[tekken]

i want it red.
i grew up with TNBA (the last season of BTAS), and gotham's sky was always red and nasty looking, with black clouds of industry. lol.

i think with a red hue, it'll feel a lot more like batman. to me anyways...but i'm not sure a red hue will fit with the realism nolan's going for.

if all else fails, i'm down with gray. batman doesn't need colors to look good. lol.

a black & white batman movie set in the 40's? good idea

btw, i know thats not what u meant.

It might sound strange, but how Inception looks might give us more of an idea.

Wally Pfister mentioned in an interview that due to working on The Prestige, where everything was more spontaneous, he felt like he could shoot more spontaneously with TDK and mixing up the palette a little. On BB, he was meticulous about each lighting scheme and making things monochrome, hence the consistent orange.

A good amount of TDK occurred during the day as well, while BB was sorta stuck with the nighttime sodium vapor lights anyway. I don't feel as if they purposely went for a blue/green color scheme in TDK as fervently as the orange in BB, although there are a few very "blue" scenes that almost felt artificial, namely the short ones in Bruce's penthouse.

 

[returntovoid]

I like the idea of the blood red skies colour scheme but I also like the idea of leaving it blue.

 

[redhawk23]

i could dig black and white for marketing purposes

 

[mclay18]

There's something about the color scheme of TDK that wasn't appealing to me, mainly the overuse of blue and dark hues (and made it much more different than BB than I'd like). The earthy tone of BB was just beautifully done and more meticulous, so I hope Pfister and Nolan return to that same palette with a bit of blue integrated.

 

[Spider-Vader]

Green if Riddler is the main villain. Black or grey if he's not or they don't want to remind people of 'Batman Bore ever' er... 'Batman Forever'.
