ya the bold colored lettered questions seems to have an added amount of crazy.

Also cool avvy JaD. If I didn't know symbiote peter was such a ninny that would b e insanely cool.

Just explain to me how the ejection procedure happened, while still fitting within Nolan's realism. Seriously, please, I beg anyone.
 
he was in the gun shooting position, the wheels were flung in front and back of him through the use of science and he road off. There fit inside realism.

Also why do you beg for this to be answered? are you still trying to find a question that nobody has an answer to? Are you trying to be the first person to find a major flaw in the movie?
 
are you serious? It is a movie..they make fictional devices that do whatever. That is like asking for the design specs of a proton pack....stop it

Yes, I am serious. If TDK was like Tim Burton's Batman Returns, I wouldn't be asking critical questions. For example, you don't see me asking how was it technically possible for the Batmobile in BR to morph into the Bat-missile. Since BB and TDK were grounded in reality, I am intrigued at how the technology within those films work.
 
Clarify please? How could all of those devices fit within the Tumbler to enable the procedure? How did the right wheel move to the back? Magic?
I don't think any of us has the layout of how everything works as it does inside of the Tumbler, give the production book a read, I saw some stuff about the Tumbler in there. But I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't explain the eject sequence. Just take it as, Batman presses some buttons, pulls on that lever thingy, then Woopow! Bat-Eject achieved and the two front wheels tag along.
 
The Tumbler's left front wheel started spinning while the batpod was getting ready to eject. That pulled the rest of the pod out. Supposedly, the left wheel pulled the seat and batman on it and the tumbler's right wheel, which then came to place. You can see that the right wheel gets drawn towards the rest of the pod, and that forces the pod to to go sideways to the left (batman's left) because of the wheel's inertia. The parts of the pod still arent locked in place. Then batman steers the pod back into its original route and the rear axle locks in place, behind batman's seat.

It looks fine on screen. Just dont try to explain it with physics or engineering.

That's good enough for me, I'd like to see another "Bright & Bold ?" now. Hopefully something good too. Like "Six/Ten" good.
 
Weird Error?

I saw Batman in this movie, but I thought Christopher Nolan's movies were supposed to be ground in reality. So how can there be a Batman? When I saw Burton's movies, I expected it, but in a logical world that Nolan has created, it just doesn't make sense? Bruce should take up a neighborhood watch duty instead, and phone the police whenever there's a crime so that he doesn't put his life in danger. Instead, he's Batman. Can someone give me an explanation? Please, I beg you.
 
^^I like Batman.^^



But here's a question to throw out there, how did Christopher Nolan get away making a great Batman film but still have crappy enough editing on a technical level not to catch things like Batman facing the opposite direction he's driving when he rams into the garbage truck. A serious wtf moment. Batman faces to the left, driving from right to left on screen, rams garbage truck, faces right, then turns the tumbler around to face right and drive right. Shouldn't little things like this be caught as amateurish editing mistakes? I'm just suprised that such stuff could happen under Nolan.
 
Factual Error?

How exactly did the two front tires of the Tumbler combine to form the Bat-pod? Was there a hidden robotic arm within the Tumbler that enabled this to happen? Nolan said his bat-films were grounded in reality, and I want a realistic explanation as to how the "ejection system" of the Tumbler works in real life.

This gimmick of yours is really hilarious, my friend.

I gotta say.

Nolan's realism is not nearly realistic as many claim that it is (or has to be). To my knowledge, Nolan has never claimed that the events that take place in these movies could happen in the real world. Instead, he was going for the same kind of feel that Blade Runner had... a fantasy world with a realistic tone. As a matter of fact, he had a lot of the people working on Batman Begins watch Blade Runner to let them know the kind of world he wanted to create.

You are the one claiming that there must be a realistic explanation for every single thing that happens in the "Nolanverse". Nolan hasn't claimed such. Although some people don't realize it, he's quite aware that he's making a comic book movie. It just happens to be a more grounded, serious interpretation than a lot of comic book movies out there.
 
Technical analysis needed:

1) When Bruce was still wearing the BB suit in the beginning of TDK, how could the dog's teeth puncture through the tear-resistant lining of the nomex survival suit? In BB, Fox said "this sucker will stop a knife" and has "reinforced joints". This question has already been posted a couple of weeks ago, but I still need a full confirmation as to how it could have happened.

2) Why did the BB cowl look thicker in TDK compared to when it first appeared in BB? Did the production crew use the same suit from BB? Or did they just take the same BB mold and used a different and cheaper material to create the cowl? I was wondering if they intentionally made the BB suit in TDK look bulky, so that the new suit could look good. In BB the cowl looked thin and shiny. But in TDK, when Batman was hanging on to the Scarecrow's van, his cowl look thick and non-form fitting to his face and neck. This can also be said when he was talking to Gordon in the bank, and at the Bat-signal.

1) Plot.
2) Dont know, but i too found the BB cowl awkward in TDK. Maybe it was on purpose, i dont know. Perhaps Nolan was more careful choosing the right angle when shooting it. Also, about the cowl when batman is hanging on the van, well, he is trying to look to his right and the cowl wont let him.

That's what I was thinking when I first saw the movie too. It simply stood out to me alot more than it did in BB. The lighting perhaps, angles, etc. The suit is pretty much the same though, no question there.

1.The plot called for it, nothing more than that.

2. Christian Bale was skinnier in TDK than in BB, he didn't fill the BB suit out as much. I also noticed some crease lines around the shoulders and neck.
 
Does anybody notice batmans utility belt from the movie looks like the belt of nightwings second costume.
 
does batman ever take any gadgets out of his utility belt in tdk?

Only the sticky bomb gun and the grappling gun, I believe. I don't think he bothered as much with the batarangs and little mine bombs this time around.
 
Could you people stop asking silly questions..?




No, really. Um, let me ask a proper question.. You think Gordon hid in the MCU bathroom the whole time he was dead..?
