The Dark Knight Rises The Christopher Nolan Thread

[jb007]

Mr. Nolan is one of the best directors & co-writters today. He had me hooked at "Momento" & it has carrued through to TDKR. So happy he co-wrote & exec. produced next Summers "Man of Steel."

Happy Birthday!

It was interesting reading his influences for TDKR, as they didn't feature the one influence I felt was strongest in the movie.

 

[I Am The Knight]

What was that, Hunter?

 

[Hunter Rider]

What was that, Hunter?

Star Wars OT trilogy.

Mr Freeze HAS been done right in the animated series...that'd be hard to make work in a film though

A very cool character.

Keaton's performances were both extremely emotional. He consistently conveyed an amazingly large amount of emotional depth through his eyes and facial expressions. That's why - despite having so little dialogue - he was still so likeable and relatable as Bruce Wayne.

His Batman is like a parody compared to Bale.

 

[CConn]

Star Wars OT trilogy.

In what what do you think it was influenced by SW?

Not that I disagree, I'm just curious as to what ways.

 

[CConn]

His Batman is like a parody compared to Bale.

No, it isn't. At all.

I would strongly argue that Keaton's Bruce Wayne and Batman are much more accurate to the characterization of Bruce Wayne in the comics, as well as better acted by Keaton; who took the psychotic nature of Bruce Wayne from Frank Miller's work and actually added a humanity and depth that even most comic writers have failed to recapture.
