The Dark Knight Rises OFFICIAL: Batman in the Burgh - Part 7

[Boom]

Where did Nolan say the catwoman cowl is not realistic enough?

We have pictures of one scene with her, and we don't even know when it takes place in the movie.


Sometimes I hate these boards, because everyone is decrying everything.
I'm reading these boards for about 5 years now. And it seems that people are just waiting everytime for some little thing to release a HUGE fu&$ing ****storm.

I was making a joke. I thought the smiley would make that clear.

Lighten up .

Ra's never wanted to use it to "control" Gotham, it was to burn it to the ground and have it tear itself apart. There was no "control it" in Ra's book he tried that with economics it failed, so he used the microwave emitter for simply that, to destroy Gotham through fear gas.

Bane seems to not want to destroy Gotham but to liberate them and have them rise up.

Notice how I said destroy OR control.

And if he doesn't want to destroy it, what's the point of the machine? A machine that literally causes earthquakes.

"This is the instrument of your liberation." Sounds like HE wants to liberate them. By destroying a corrupt city. Kinda what Ra's wanted to do.

Who said Talia would have anything to do with the earthquake device? Maybe it's just Bane using it.

I sincerely doubt she's just along for the ride.

Man I'm pissed lately that I can't quote sometimes. Grr. I don't know why it keeps doing that?

Ra's just wanted it destroyed, I don't think Bane wants that, he just wants those in power out and him in power in their eyes. I have a feeling it is part of his strategy to have Gotham as his. More of a threat then an actual want to destroy it.

If you don't mind explaining, were you casted from the original Pittsburgh casting call, or did they select you after you arrived? If so, how did they select? I tried to be as enthusiastic and well-behaved as possible in hopes that they would choose me to do a featured shot, but no dice! But I'm totally cool about it I seriously had an amazing time. Tom hardy was WOW.

I really didn't do anything special. I was one of the many unpaid extras there, and just went up to sit with a group I was walking in with (my wife baled at the last minute due to finishing up packing for our move) we sat over in a corner section just over where the Tumblers came out and this casting person and producer type were scanning the crowd for people. They looked up at us and said we were to come with them. We went up a level on the elevator and were told to see the ast director at the green screen.

Did three different shots for the national anthem, and seven different angles for the touch down. Then we went to new seats that were in the front row over the Tumbler entrance. They made the people sitting there move somewhere else. From there we had the camera on us a few more times. Mostly for reactions to the bombs and to Bane coming out. I am still sore from running up the stairs and from diving for cover so many times.

You will not miss my section if it stays in, you will see me with a black and gold knited blanket in front of me on the rail.

I can't wait for this movie.

I'm not saying she's along for the ride.

That's not liberation though. And if the "instrument of their liberation" is an instrument of destruction, then "liberation" isn't meant to be taken literally.

"Only a cynical man would call what these people have "lives", Wayne. Crime. Despair. This is not how man was supposed to live."

"We are back to finish the job."

"Over the ages, our weapons have grown more sophisticated. With Gotham, we tried a new one: Economics."

"If someone stands in the way of true justice, you simply walk up behind them and stab them in the heart."

And what is it that Talia is rumored to do to Batman?

So yeah. I think this is their new, modified weapon and tactic. And they're back to finish the job. Sadly.

Maybe, but I think there will be way more to it. Especially since Bane is such a driven man I have this feeling that there will be betrayal and he is using Talia for his means, not the other way around. But instruments of destruction can be used as bluffs, and threats more then total annihilation like the LOS want. So I just don't see it playing out that way. Just as much as a gun is used for destruction its the purpose of it, one can use it as bluffs and threats. To me they are playing deep into Bane's chess like mannerisms, I think he has a full plan and strategy of what he wants to do.

Unless he IS apart of the LoS and he shares their teachings and philosophies. And since he's with Talia, that's looking more and more likely unfortunately.

It could be totally different, but I'm starting to think it isn't.

EDIT: Or hell, maybe Bane thinks they're going to rule over the city with the threat of the Earthquake machine, but Talia is really going to destroy the city. To carry on her father's legacy. Just like Ra's and Scarecrow where Scarecrow thought they were going to hold the city to ransom but Ra's really wanted to destroy it.

 

[Solidus]

Maybe, but I just don't feel it will go that way, we know so little about it, I think Bane has his own agenda, I'm not worried at all. But we shall see in time.

And my quote buttons sucks today it hardly is working. Grr.

EDIT: Bane is too smart to be played over like Crane was. He is the man usually at the top and his vast intelligence even Ra's said was unmatched.

Yeah I can see it playing out for part of the film that Bane appears to be part of Talia's scheme of getting revenge for her father but later turns out Talia is actually a pawn to a much greater dangerous scheme made by Bane which ends with Bane disposing of Talia and follows a path that even the LOS would question... kind of like the mob and Joker

Even though this is a new and fresh interpretation of Bane, which is the basis of everybody's argument for defending his look and his possible origin involving the LoS and his voice.

So is that car going to be part of TDKR's budget?

I can't imagine the money spent on these past few days

-Gotham Rogue jersey's
-Gotham Rogue banner's
-Painting the Gotham Rogue home team banner on the grass
-Feeding the extra's

 

[AnneFan]

Or hell, maybe Bane thinks they're going to rule over the city with the threat of the Earthquake machine, but Talia is really going to destroy the city.

Possible. A notable part of Bane in Knightfall is the "I am the new owner of Gotham, work for me" angle. I think when Bane talks about liberation in TDKR, we're going to get something similar to that.

 

[bigmac2011]

The only time I recall Bane ever having green skin was B&R. Never comics.

Dave, my friend, that was my point: That Bane was finally being portrayed in the way I felt he deserved on film, not in the way he was shown to be in B&R (a green skinned, grunting oaf). I am sorry if I was not clear enough on what I meant when it comes to that within my original post.

Just got back a few hours ago from Pittsburgh after doing the Heinz field shoot Saturday. What an experience. I'm sure I can't add anything that hasn't already been said but the highlights for me were definitely seeing Chris Nolan, Hardy as Bane, and the three tumblers in person.

It was unbearably hot and uncomfortable but I'm very glad I was there. Probably the coolest being an extra thing was having the armed mercenaries marching down the steps in my section and telling us all to get back in our seats. That and having the same armed mercenaries opening the doors for me after going to the restroom. What gentlemen.

And being able to hear Bane's voice for the first time was incredible. Sounded like Emperor Palpatine a bit to me with labored breathing.

 

[WVsax27]

I'm going to guess they probably had some kind of deal with UA for the jerseys and other football gear. This movie is a big advertising chance for them

That one has to be astronomical. The group I was with did some math, I had 6 waters over the course of the day, say 5 is average. That's roughly 70,000 bottles of water alone. Not to mention all the hotdogs, cheeseburgers, pretzels, chips, fruit etc.

They should give the people who organized that event a medal, they did a great job

Under Armour probably paid them. Bidding war with Nike, Reebok, etc.

 

[WVsax27]

That is what I was getting at, much like how those various companies compete to get colleges and pro teams to wear their stuff. When I was in school we almost switched to UA but Nike threw a load of cash at the athletic department and promised to make them a featured school if they stayed with them.

I can confirm this.

Hardy was even seen wearing Under Armour underwear

I just got back from the 7 hour drive from Pitts (went to the Pirates game today). I'm sure its been discussed to hell and back, but Bane's voice is very awkward, close to terrible IMO. He sounds like an old Irish/English man crossed with Darth Vader's breathing. Nothing at all of what I was expecting or hoping for. Then again, it was only 4 lines of dialogue, so perhaps it sounds better with more.

Also did they film again Sunday? There was no mention of it from BIM, and I didn't notice anything whenever I looked over at Heinz when I had a view.

Anyway I was in the 5th row behind the goal post on Saturday and right in front of the camera from the last IMAX shot, so hopefully there's a great chance of me being visible in the film!

It is VERY interesting that you say that sir. Very interesting indeed.

There is a Gotham Rogues jersey going for 600 dollars on ebay right now lol
