The Dark Knight More brooding this time around

[DA Harvey Dent]

I was watching BR today and one of the best scenes IMO was the one where Wayne is sitting alone in the dark at the Manor and the signal shines through and Batman is awakened.

I wanna see more of the brooding Wayne in TDK. Anyone else agree/disagree?

The best scenes in BR are everything with Walken

Gotta love the:

Bruce: "Cobblepot controls the red triangle gang, I can't prove that yet but..."

Shreck: "Bruce........Shame on you.....no....such....thing."

 

[ultimatefan]

I´m perfectly fine with the level of brooding.

 

[Ronny Shade]

I could dig more brood time. Thing about Bats is that if you think his character through, he wouldn't brood. He'd go work out.

 

[DV8]

^dam . . . Ronny Shade you are right again

 

[Rynan]

This Batman takes his frustration, anger and depression out on the criminals of Gotham. No brooding required.

But, maybe he'll have to be more introspective when he faces The Joker, a criminal who seemingly can't be caught.

Then again, if he's frustrated with The Joker evadeing his grasp, he could just take it out on some street gangs or other ruffian.

 

[kenellard]

I think some brood-time would be right for his character, a man who's obsession with his parents death leads him to wage a one-man war on crime has to be fantastically depressed, not to mention entirely mentally unstable

Or- according to "BROKEN CITY", he'd grill.

Clinical Depression can strike anytime, Ronny.

It is hard to manage, even for the strongest of personalities. And Batman is only human after all. Sometimes, Batman's just gotta sit on A gargoyle and write poetry.

I open my eyes
I try to see but I'm blinded by the white light.
I can’t remember how
I can’t remember why
I'm lying here tonight
And I can’t STAND the pain
And I can’t make it go away
No I can’t STAND the pain

*CHORUS*
How could this happen to me
I've made my mistakes
got nowhere to run
The night goes on as I’m fading away
I'm sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me

Everybody’s screaming
I try to make a sound but no one hears me
I’m slipping off the edge
I’m hanging by a thread
I wanna start this over again
So I try to hold
On to a time when
Nothing mattered
And I can’t explain
What happened and I can’t erase the things that I’ve done
No I can’t

*CHORUS*
How could this happen to me
I've made my mistakes
got nowhere to run
The night goes on as I’m fading away
I’m sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me

I've made my mistakes
got nowhere to run
The night goes on as I’m fading away
I’m sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me

y'know how I know you're gay?.....

I love that to relax, he has to cook a steak, which is an incredibley frustrating thing to cook in itself. His life is so complicated, that to relax, he only does something that's just not AS complicated, but still complicated.

 

[The Kid]

I don't see it as brooding. He's just being... pensive... that's the word. I'd like to see bruce taking time to think things through before acting...

 

[WeaponXProject]

y'know how I know you're gay?.....

That's funny but I think Hades is right.

 

[Shedhut]

funny, several month ago i posted the exact pic you described in the "things i wanna see in the sequel"-thread t:

 

[LadyVader]

Batman's got no time to brood! Every minute he's not out on the street, somebody is getting hurt, a punk is getting away with a crime. Batman will brood when he retires. And when he's done with that, he'll be back on the streets.

 

[Dr. Fate]

There's always brooding in Batman films.

NOOOOES! Call Whine-one-one, send for the Whaaambulance!

Just joshing! That was hilarious!

 

[Eros]

i dunno Burton Batman was alot more dedicated to to being Batman then Nolan version[so far anyway]. Hell in Batman Returns he was in his study basically waiting for the bat signal. You also barely saw him at Wayne enterprises, he simply was either being batman, wooing some hot girl, or waiting for the bat signal.

 

[Ronny Shade]

Batman doesn't wait for the Bat signal. He's pro-active.

 

[Mr. Thing]

That shot is one of my favourite shots in a movie, ever.

Just the way he's sitting, thinking, then the batsignal bursts through, and when he stands up...that look on his face. Awesome.

 

[DV8]

^^I remember before Batman Returns even came out, I saw that shot in the teaser and Batman was the COLDEST mutha****er on earth when that happened . . . . I was like 10 or 11

 

[Cinemaman]

I also loved this scene, but it won't work in TDK. Why?

I think because it isn't time for Bruce to grow as a mood and dark person (as Wayne).

He's still young enough, but this doesn't mean we won't have some brood moments (not exactly like that one from BR).

You know, this makes a lot of sense. Good observation.
