MMMmmmm....Vanessa Lane.......

and let's not forget "the pressure's building"

Well, I guess this is my main question. Did he need to build the pressure? Maybe activating the machine at Wayne Tower wouldn't build enough pressure for the water to evaporize and spread throughout the city? If so, that's why he had to use the train.

stop thinking so much, it's a movie

This, I don't agree with. A good central plot is all the difference between a good and a bad movie. I can't stand a half-baked plot or a plothole-ridden story (SR comes to mind).

[FNSpidey]

Leave and never return

Why?

 

[zer00]

You ****ing heard me.

I...I don't believe I typed stuttered.

 

[FNSpidey]

I know I heard you. I asked why.

 

[Flexo]

I know I heard you. I asked why.

You're not getting the big picture.

 

[zer00]

this thread isn't for 20 questions

 

[FNSpidey]

Ok then. Although I don't see a point in this thread.
Nice signature, though.
Carry on...

Did you even read what I typed?? I answered your questions. I spent a good 8 hours working on that too......and what do I get? A thank you? I reply? a rebuttle?

No. a ****ing snub.

Makes me feel like leaving it all behind and disappearing into Europe.....or something....for a good 7 years. Yeah.....run forest, run....

Okay I have noted some mistakes in BB, like the shot of the man in the docks still standing after bats has already taken down all of falcone's men. But the shot is really fast so what the heck right.

I have noted a couple more but I've ignored them. Until now.

I was watching the dvd this week, and noticed that in the scene in which ra's and the ninjas are elevating(loading) the microwave emmiter into the train and batman comes flying in. There's something that suddenly bothered me. Not the effects of the landing as they look great and pretty real, but a sudden cut or halt in a sound element.When batman's about to land you can clearly hear the screams of the people in the narrows which are driven crazy under the influence of the fear gas.

They see bats as a giant demon bat, we all know that. Okay now as he lands the screams continue, but just as he finishes his landing and his wings retract to become his cape again the screams suddenly stop. Yes you might say that as he lands he disappears out of their sight, but what bothers me is not that the screams stop but simply that they stop too abruptly just syncronized, in perfect timing with batman's landing.

Not only that but it seems as if the people just disappeared, you don't hear a single voice from them, shoudn't they just keep screaming after he has landed? I mean they just saw a giant bat with fiery eyes flying above them. Even if they cease to see him they should still be scared in panic waiting for him to appear again(even sane people remain in panic after something awful happens muchmore someone under the gas influence), yet you don't hear a single sound in that moment.

He just lands in front of Ra's and the ninjas and we don't hear even a far away scream or an echo as if the fear gas's effect suddenly disappeared and everyone's alright again.

If you put your disc and watch this scene you will notice this. i mean sure i understand that nolan wanted to focus on bats and ra's conversation. But what about the background sounds they just disappear.

what do you make of this?

While true, it wasn't necessary to engage you into the story. Nolan needed us to hear the screams, then he needed us to hear Rhas talking to Batman...I don't think I would like the screams clogging that dialogue

 

[FNSpidey]

Hey ChrisBaleBatman, no need to get irritated. I read your answers and I thank you for taking the time to type all that. And I didn't try to insult anyone in here, in fact I don't think I was impolite anywhere.
I tried to continue the conversation by asking a specific question, but obviously some people here weren't interested in it at all, so I dropped the subject. Again, politely.
If anything, I am the one who got the snub. Although, you should go to Europe. It's nice.

Ahh, crickets.

This thread sucks more than the new FF lineup.

Oh. Oh. Topical humor.

I like Doug Jones.

 

[CConn]

I meant the comic, not the movie.

That said, Doug Jones should replace Black Panther.

I missed the Vanessa Lane mention from yesterday.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Quick....someone post some of her pics....
