The Dark Knight Rises TDKR SPOILERS (read at your own risk)

[The Shape]

[blackout]He doesn't see it, or rather, the shot doesn't show that he sees it, perhaps. But this looks like that vomit emoticon on the Bruce/Selina/Alfred cafe in Italy thing again.[/blackout]

Yup.

 

[Dark Cockatoo]

Yes, but he was Batman alot longer before giving up the mantle,

To The Joker:

All I have to say is Batman Beyond.

Spoiler

That was definitive, Bruce was forever done, and Terry took over, and most loved that. Bruce is not immortal.

Read my post above in this page.

 

[The Shape]

shape, not sure if anyone asked this one but i'm curious. Did you see it in imax or a regular theater?

imax

 

[Nigma]

OK, how about this?

Spoiler

Can Bruce ever truely live be able to live this life? Will he be able to stay away from Gotham? Is he truly past the pain of his parents death?

I think people are discussing the other guy because he's more of an unknown. Besides, most of those questions might be made moot within the context of the film.

[BLACKOUT]Those are questions I never guessed I'd have to a ask when it comes to Bruce Wayne.

It removes the character from everything you connect with him. Batman, Gotham, his company, his determination to fight against crime.

It just doesn't fit his character. He abandons Gotham and runs away to lead a merry life with (maybe) Selina? Leaving Alfred and Gotham behind? [/BLACKOUT]

Haha true that.

TheShape: Tellin' us something, while at the same time tellin' us nothin' at all! Takes talent!

 

[The Shape]

I want to say a few things. Read at your own risk.

Spoiler

Firstly, Bruce does not "leave" Alfred. Everyone's freaking out about the "cafe" thing, but it has a solid place in the film AND A REASON for existing. It's not just a random thing as some of you are suspecting. Guess what: it makes Alfred happy.

Second, abandoning Gotham? No. We all know the ending of TDK...a savior who is built out of a lie to inspire the city into rebuilding itself. This time, IT HAPPENS FOR REAL. Batman is the hero Gotham deserved AND the one it needed.

I don't know how to do the applause emoticon but I'm thinking it real hard.

Even now you're not spoiling so much as tempering. I'd have pulled my hair out.

Spoiler

I'd be happiest if Blake found the Batcave and then it blows up with him in it. That would be pretty definite.

Spoiler

But it's still built on a lie. Why does he have to fake his death?

Spoiler

Very happy with the first one. We figured as much that it can't be as simple as that considering that Nolan has nailed the Alfred/Bruce relationship that he won't let it just be something simple.

 

[redbirds]

Spoiler

Spoiler

So that he may gain back all the life that he lost

 

[The Shape]

Spoiler

It's a lie as much as concealing his identity is a lie. Not quite in the same league as, "This guy didn't go crazy and kill all those people. I did."

And Bruce doesn't HAVE to do anything he doesn't want to do.

Spoiler

What did I say earlier? If Alfred told him he wished he could just find him happy in some random place, then I would expect Alfred to be happy when it plays out how he wanted.

I'm still very skeptical about the JGL ending.

 

[Ras Al Fool]

TheShape: Is the Bat more than just a flying vehicle with machineguns?

 

[lililatigresse]

Spoiler

So that he may gain back all the life that he lost

Spoiler

I'm sorry, but to me this is not Batman.

 

[Solidus]

theShape are you going to see the marathon when it comes out, or just see TDKR by itself on the night of the 19th?

What about?

Spoiler

He said Blake gets no where near the Batsuit.

 

[redbirds]

You're right. Thats because the batman story in this trilogy....ready for it....

Spoiler

ENDS

 

[lililatigresse]

And Bruce doesn't HAVE to do anything he doesn't want to do.

Spoiler

So, he just doesn't want to be Batman anymore. He wants to have a normal life. Okay, I get it. It's not just my vision of Batman.

Again, I think thats the whole point. Batman effectively

Spoiler

ENDS. Thus, the whole bunch of "concluding the story and stuff"

 

[Nigma]

Basically, this.

 

[Godmaul]

Everyone needs to pay close attention to the words that Shape chooses to use when he posts about a spoiler.

Theyre very important. He uses specific words on purpose. Make sure you go back and read them before trying to interpret exactly what he's trying to allude to.

Juss sayin'
