Awesome! Amazing to think that this film will be able to pick up right in the middle of the action too...no origin story this time around, just Bruce/Batman, Joker and Harv for 2.5 hrs!

2:32 eh? "I like that."

 

[The Chris]

2 hrs and 32 mins of beautiful batman and joker butt kicking. If any superhero's story deserved that much time to tell, it's Batman's.

Interesting news regarding DK runtime:

https://www.arclightcinemas.com/Arc...NIGHT&movieType=ComingSoon&pageInfo=Home-Page

The above indicates a 120 minute DK movie...I wonder if this is confirmed or if Arclight Cinemas is just estimating? I was actually looking forward to the near 3 hour epic being reported in rumors...that would have been ballsy.

Then again, less is usually more.

This website has updated it's running time info to '150 mins' now

2 and a half hours sounds good!

 

[undyingsoul]

so is 2:32 pretty much confirmed or?

 

[Magenta666]

probably...unless Nolan goes on some crazy suicidal rampage

Yes, the Raleigh, NC IMAX theater I found the 'TDK' runtime from has been extremely accurate in the past.

Two and a half hours would be awesome.t:

 

[JStorm]

probably...unless Nolan goes on some crazy suicidal rampage

True.

However, I am one to hope this is something of an epic - more than just 1 3/4 movie and 3/4 nonsense.

yea thats whats great about this movie!!!

althou i did like the origin story from Begins, very well told

 

[Mister J]

152 minutes? That's a whole lotta brooding Batman, havoc-wreaking Joker and dramatization of Harvey's fall.

This pleases me.

 

[ActuallyRobin]

Thank the gods! Mister J is pleased

 

[BDS23420]

Thank the gods! Mister J is pleased

[MiniBond]

A non-USA exhibition source told me this evening that The Dark Knight's running time has been confirmed at 152 minutes. Take it to the bank, baby, and bring a pillow.

Thx goes to TerryRL

 

[Frank Noir]

I think 152 minutes is perfect. And I won't need a pillow. I love long movies and I know this movie will not bore me for a second.

 

[turtlefocker]

12 minutes longer than BB... sounds good to me.

 

[TheDarkVictory]

im seeing it at 3 in the morning, so 150 minutes is going to be interesting...not for me, i would stay awake for six hours, but ill be interested to see if anybody conks out at some point...though in an IMAX theatre...not so sure...

 

[Patty]

a 2 and a half hour tdk run time is like waking up on xmas morning and instead of the nes you wanted, you got natalie portman, butt naked, covered in whipped cream, with the video cam already set up and the marriage license already filled out.

 

[Nightwing1977]

2:32 eh? "I like that."

"Then you're going to love it". Heh! Can't resist saying the lines from the trailer.

 

[Andrex]

Well it is based on "The Long Halloween".

Love that it's long, I never wanted BB to end.

Edit- In fact every film I've watch in the past two years has felt much too short.

 

[fabman]

You know, I didn't want Batman Begins to end either... Right into the Tumbler chase I was like, damn, I hope this goes on for an hour...

Online chatter is already griping that the film is too long. So what do YOU think? Is TDK, which runs a little over 10 minutes longer than Batman Begins, too long or self-indulgent at 152 minutes? Take our poll and let us know.

lo. where is this griping about the length?

 

[BatSpider]

152 is the shiznit

Let the action take as long as it wants t:

"Then you're going to love it". Heh! Can't resist saying the lines from the trailer.

Heh. Indeed.
