The Dark Knight Rises OFFICIAL: Batman in New York - Part 5

[The_Raganork]

Deshi Bashara?

 

[Victarion]

So Gotham is a state in the DC universe with the city as its capital?

@Raganork: Bane possibly being short-fused...that wouldn't indicate that he's a villain to go off ranting and raving incoherently, would it?

 

[Brother Jack]

Yeah. Starting to think the prologue will involve a young ra's,young bane, abd maybe little talia. It'd appear to make the most sense at this point. I'd love to see bane without the other two, but I've pretty much come to terms that this is what it will entail.

Edit: the montage idea of a parallel between bane/ batman would be unreal rags. I'd love that.

How exactly?

 

[Boom]

So Gotham is a state in the DC universe with the city as its capital?

Gotham City is in the state of New Jersey, I believe.

 

[The_Raganork]

Gotham City is in the state of New Jersey, I believe.

in the film Gotham is its own state.

 

[Boom]

Well that's odd.

 

[film4life]

in the film Gotham is its own state.

Hence the Gotham license plates.

 

[The_Raganork]

And the Gotham State Police Cars.

 

[Boom]

Wow. This information has been staring me in the face for quite some time then.

I feel stupid .

 

[Yurka]

Any idea how Talia figures into all this Rag?

Don't. Honest mistake.

Any idea how Talia figures into all this Rag?

I wish man...I wish.

I'm still more confused about this movie than most things.

 

[Just_Human]

I absolutely shudder when I think about Batman using that voice to talk with Catwoman. This ain't like the last two times where he had little dialogue. With Catwoman he will have extended conversations. Oh no. I hope I at least won't have to facepalm in the theater.

Audience : " wtf "

For some reason this story is looking like some depressing "bleak post war apocalypse" film. I dont see the appeal. I much would have rather had Some Riddler or Penguin instead...

 

[DoomsdayApex]

Short fused? Interesting...

The prologue doesn't need Batman, nor did it need the Joker's popularity in TDK. The Bat-symbol and blue flames are basically the trademark for a Batman film.

I got my money on Bane escaping, fighting, training, and/or killing in the prologue.

The Riddler is the poor man's Joker and The Penguin isn't intimidating or interesting as of late.

I don't see the appeal.

Haha, it's all good.
What about the narrative of the film? Any observations that would reinforce the non-linear assumption?

 

[CaptainSpunk]

Well at least there might be some color. Im sure this films color is gonna be grey.

 

[batbax]

How exactly?

Just based on the timing if the shoots. In order to have a six min prologue ready, they'd need quite some time to get it prepped to the point where it's already been seen by the ratings people last week. That pretty much eliminates anything post June. So its just speculation on my part, but it narrows down what the prologue could be pretty considerably. And since the first stuff shot involved pence, I just am making an educated but hopefully way wrong guess.

 

[The Joker]

The Riddler is the poor man's Joker

Challenging Batman with riddles is a poor man's Joker?

and The Penguin isn't intimidating or interesting as of late.

I beg to differ. You really need to read this:

 

[DoomsdayApex]

Better than Carrey's Green and DeVito's Blue.

 

[kvz5]

I think anything they shot in the UK can be used for the prologue.

 

[A.Stabelli]

Penguin Pain and Predjudice is a fantastic series. I've never been a huge Penguin fan, but that series is making me a fan of the character. Such good stuff.

 

[The_Raganork]

Not really, there was this idea of "Gotham: As Two Worlds" sort of thing.

Living in the depressive Gotham from day to day and the people trying to crawl their way out.

My source was just speculating but he said something like:

"I bet Bane climbing out that well is going to be a visual for the whole film. Bane and the well, Batman and his obligations, Catwoman and the side she chooses to be on. Gothamites in Gotham, everyone trying to desperately crawl out of the well to the light."

I openly hugged him and praised him after that. I LOVE the idea.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

Challenging Batman with riddles is a poor man's Joker?

Yes, yes it is. I wouldn't want 2.5 hours of Riddles.

I beg to differ. You really need to read this:

It's not that I dislike The Penguin, but I just don't see him as main villain material.
