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

Spoiler

Personally I think it depends on how it's done. I suspect it will be quite cool to see Blake realise that Briuce Wayne, international playboy, the man most likely not to be Batman, was in fact Batman.

A good amount less than that. Not too late.

Thank you.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

Those critics are stupid. Just because the whole cast doesn't die people assume Nolan will be setting up for a sequel, but no...that's not the case. Everything in this ending has a thematic purpose for the film AND the series overall.

Hmmm, I can believe that. I'll have to see how it translates onto the the big screen but I'll be honest though, this ending has me a bit spooked. Yet, seeing as your a Batman fan yourself, and found the ending to be great... I still harbor hope.

 

[thej0ker]

Also, I truly believe that if people are outraged by the ending, it'll be purely because of a stupid, fanboy-ish reason: because it's not perfectly in line with the comics. People will take things out of context and be blinded by their fanboy-isms, which is quite sad IMO because the ending plays out so well on screen.

Very well said, sir.

So whats the difference in Red Robin's background vs. Robin's? Not terribly familiar with that aspect of the comics.

And I agree with Shape, people walking into the film expecting the worst or with a closed minded idea as to what can't happen onscreen based on their own fanboy desires will end up ruining it for themselves.

I hate to break it to you but:

Spoiler

Blake knows Bruce is Batman from an early point in the film.

Thats what I've read a lot of different places too - interesting to see it confirmed. It'll be cool to see how it plays out and how dude finds out that dude is dude....

Get me, dudes?

 

[elgato]

Only doubt for my soul to rest until the 27th

Spoiler

does Selina also know?

People have already ruined it for themselves, sadly. I'll say that a certain part of the final minutes SHOCKED me, literally dropped my jaw to the floor. But what surprised me was...I ****ing loved it. I don't think it would have been NEARLY as exciting if I knew exactly what was going to happen.

Interesting info and I actually like that. Have you been watching the TV spots?

Spoiler

I was wondering if he already knew in that TV spot. Don't tell me. I'm just thinking out loud.

What theShape said here just threw one theory out.

Spoiler

The one about that scene just being about Blake finding out about Batman's identity.

Sometimes I think people want to be dissappointed. I've often been to the cinema and felt let down by an ending, only to realise afte it has sunk in that it was perfect...The Grey being a recent example.

BTW love your avatar - going to see the 25th Anniversay production on 25th August.

 

[ImAlwaysAngry]

Am I the only one that thought that was quite cool?

No, that was great. Raised the stakes.

Im still stoked as hell for it - we don't have any officially confirmed recount of the ending, we're left with a vague idea of what may or may not happen to a few characters and we definitely don't know itll all play out on screen. Admittedly, we're probably struggling with the 'HOW WILL IT WORK!?' due to our own limited perceptions as to what we can and cannot enjoy seeing.

Thanks for sticking with the thread btw, it's cool to see you back.

 

[IronMike]

Without spoiling it much Shape, have you mentioned yet any of the context of Bane's origin? Just curious if the

bald kid in the jail cell is a young Bane, especially after we just saw the set photo of Joey King WITH hair

Don't know if you can answer, but is it just him?

Sad thing is I didn't spoil myself. Turns out I was spoiled months ago, and thought it was just a troll seeking attention.

Awesome! I'm a huge Phanatic.

Hahaha yeah me too at least partially - thats sort of the reason why I dont mind discussing it now. As I said before, reading about it won't come close to seeing it onscreen, so I know it won't ruin my own personal enjoyment.

Plus, I initially took the plunge with just going full bore spoilers because I was relatively certain that some of the leaks we had read early on were bound to be at least partially true.

 

[Godmaul]

Awesome! I'm a huge Phanatic.

Me too! My GF of 6 years is into theater so I've fallen in line and enjoy it a lot at this point. Just went and saw Les Mis for the first time in Boston like 6 months ago, 2nd row orchestra - it was amazing.

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

Almost nobody thought Batman retired after TDK. Including myself, at least until the teaser trailer came out in July 2011 then obviously people's suspicions grew.

I'm on the same boat. While we're waiting for the 20th, then I don't mind discussing the spoilers (whether true or not). I'm sure a lot of my thoughts will be way different after I leave the theater.

 

[ImAlwaysAngry]

Hey, Shape: did you see my question about the monorail?

I noticed it in the background of one trailer. Wondering of you ever see it prominently. Would be a nice callback.

 

[Godmaul]

Spoiler

So we've read that folks are made aware of Batman's identity early on in the film from a few different sources - completely discounting what Shape said - do we know how that might happen?

Do we assume that Bane and Miranda are working together and that Miranda finds the Batcave then Bane spills the beans?

Its funny, because now that we're talking about the way the film may end - I have a feeling that that beginning and middle sections of the film are going to really, really shock us with the way they play out. I don't think we have any idea the way the first half of the film will develop!

Is this legit ?
