man i gotta see this. but does anyone have a clearer description of the opening "exploding" batsymbol?
I can't believe these guys think Batman is saluting!!!!!!! It's a radio device in his ear, dumb asses! God! I mean, come on! He communicates with Alfred, and listens in on radio waves; the device in his ear. NOT SALUTING!

Seeing that I am still alive, it's pretty obvious you guys have failed in offing me.i dont think anybody thinks that anymore. i think one person made the mistake, but they have since been stabbed.
theres actually no bat symbol, just a screen filled with blue flames, as far as i could tell. i certainly didnt see a bat symbol.

My mistake, obviously. But I definitely interpreted it as a salute at first glance. It's not like the montage pieces had any context to them.Nolan's films are always, always better in context. I thought all the BB trailers were just okay.
Thanks for all the compliments! It was just as much for my own benefit, since I wanted to be able to remember what it looked like, at least long enough to last me until July.t:
the flames definately form a begins symbol right as they dissapear. its not solid but rather an outline of flame.
Nice descriptions!
Wonder why Gordon smashes the signal...At first I thought someone else turned it on to lure Batman into a trap...but then why would Gordon use an axe when he could just unplug it?
No that was me that got stabbed, thanks alot guys. Luckily it was only a flesh wound.i dont think anybody thinks that anymore. i think one person made the mistake, but they have since been stabbed.
True. I guess it depends on how much logic we're supposed to suspend for the sake of drama. It could work though.I'm guessing "swinging an axe and smashing something to bits with it" just looks a lot cooler, and more dramatic, on screen than yanking a cord out of a socket.
ah, well, there ya go. something for me to look for come friday when i see it again! i cant believe i didnt notice it!
The Batsignal is off when he does it, and it's during the day when it's cloudy and/or rainy.Or maybe Gordon is just pissed at Batman...or he wants to electrocute himself.
Ah, thanks for the clarification.The Batsignal is off when he does it, and it's during the day when it's cloudy and/or rainy.
I interpreted it as a PR move. Simply unplugging the signal doesn't really send a message, to Batman or to the public or whatever. Smashing the symbol to bits kiiiinda does.
Nice descriptions!

It must be a PR move. The public and/or the GPD probably feel that Batman is no longer welcome, since there is a crowd of people (police officers? Can't recall) behind Gordon and he's raising the axe very reluctantly. I don't think Gordon will be turning on Bats in this one. At least, not completely.I always thought it was maybe a moment of frustration, either at Batman, or he made a mistake and is upset at himself? I don't know, it just seemed that maybe thats a sign of the Batman-Gordon-Dent trio slipping.
Woohoo I have two sticky threads in the TDK forums! I should win some kind of award for usefulness.Ive stuck this as it has the complete description of the prologue in the first post and closed the others as there are to many threads on the same topic. I also added a poll for those who saw it, to rate it.

Um, I'm pretty sure he's smashing the signal to prevent the Fake Batmen from coming out, and ruining Batman's reputation.It must be a PR move.

I thought it seemed pretty obvious he wasn't saluting. He clearly reached past his forehead, and near maybe a comlink or turning on his sonar.
But the shot was like this Jim lee pic:
