The Dark Knight Rises The Dark Knight Rises Trailer Thread - Part 5

[paladinryan]

I know some people have already commented on this post, but after reading it, I had to say something because of how unbelieveably wrong it is.

First off, your claim that we never get to question whether Batman is a hero or not is just plain incorrect. It's pretty much the entire thematic basis of TDK.

Batman does PLENTY of unheroic things in TDK, the most obvious being the fact that rather than give in to the Joker's demands, he lets the Judge and Commissoner Lobe die. He willingly lets Harvey admit he's Batman and puts Harvey's life in a huge amount of danger. He also *hacks into every cell phone in Gotham* to try and catch The Joker. Rachel flat out says that he's not being heroic at all for letting Harvey take the fall for his inaction. Hell, he even gets **** from Maroni for letting a bunch of people die.

The Lao thing can be a further example of his unheroicness, if you think about it. He essientially invades a foreign country and kidnaps one of it's citizens, simply because he needs to wipe out crime in Gotham and complete his crusade for justice and peace. Batman's actions are extremely grey.

Frankly, the only truly 'heroic' thing Batman does in the whole movie is taking the blame for Harvey's murders at the end to try and save the little amount of hope and faith in good the people of Gotham have.

As far as the whole sanity issue, there are multiple times in both BB and TDK where Bruce is questioned about what he is doing as Batman.

I don't mind people talking about flaws in Nolan's bat films, but I'd appreciate if people watched the damn films first.

Fox, Alfred, Rachel, and the Joker all question what Batman is doing. Hell, even Gordon tries to break into the interrogation room when he's brutalizing the Joker.

I think the thing to keep in mind when looking at Nolan's movies, is he's very "literary." Hence why I think The Prestige is his best film, because it totally played into that aspect of his art. His use of key words like "fear" and "control" is part of his literary style, in the same way a Shakespeare plays with a word like "nothing" or "honor." You're meant to look at the concept from different povs, like walking around a statue.

Edit: Case in point, for The Prestige Nolan wrote back in the epistolary stuff his brother had cut out.

Does anyone else find themselves watching the trailer over and over again to hear the prison chanting?

That's probably my favorite part of the whole thing.

 

[Sharkboy]

Wow this stupid "WB hates Bane voice" crap is gaining tons of coverage. It needs to die a quick quick death.

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

I think this thread is going to die a quick death.

What is the problem with Bane's voice, exactly? I don't get it.

What's the next step in your master plan?

Crashing this thread...with no survivors!!!

 

[Nevincer]

Just saw The Hobbit trailer.

Step aside TDKR, there's a new champion in town. I regret nothing

It is a bit hard to hear. but nothing that warrants changing it. I wish people would understand the mix is bad...he's in a crashing plane but then again, hating this movie from Bane's voice to the "cartoonish" CGI on the Football Field to Nolan's mistake with having the Batthing bob up and down, to Anne Hathway's casting, is the new it thing.

 

[BrollySupersj]

Ya know I gotta be one of the few who sees no problem with the trailer. I like Bane's voice, and the football field collapse looks perfect. Why are some people saying it looks bad?

All the scrutiny just goes to show how huge this film will be when it comes out. t:

The trailer is beyond gorgeous.

Because that one shot is more epic than anything a certain other studio has ever done. I call it envy.

I know this is way early but I asked this on the teaser thread months ago any idea when theatrical trailer 2 will be released I'm guessing maybe April?

That sounds about right, but like you said, it's WAY too early.

Nothing! that's why it's stupid. His voice was near perfect in the trailer.

Just saw The Hobbit trailer.

My thoughts exactly...I don't think i can watch it again too soon, i'm not ready to go through that kinda range of emotion so quickly so often,

I know this is way early but I asked this on the teaser thread months ago any idea when theatrical trailer 2 will be released I'm guessing maybe April?

Ironically (considering how this thread has gone) it will probably be attached to The Avengers in May, but April sounds viable too.

We still have the superbowl spot and a horde of tv spots following that to look out for too.

 

[The_Raganork]

Late March/April...yeah

 

[Goku Goes Crazy]

The Hobbit trailer shows how title cards are suppose to be used in trailers. Really well done.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

Too far away.

Too bad WB is stuck with overusing 'EPIC'.

 

[Dk1201]

well in July everyone guessed TDKR theatrical trailer would be attached to Sherlock Holmes and well yeah...


I'm guessing earliest March with the Raven as for April I haven't the slightest clue what it could be attached to though honestly theaters could just have one screen where they play the Dark Knight rises teaser theatrical trailer 1 and 2 And I'm sure most of us would buy a ticket watch the 3 trailers and walk out happy.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

To be honest though, I feel that the Prometheus trailer still holds the second spot

2012 is going to be an incredible year.
