The Dark Knight Rises The Dark Knight Rises Trailer Thread

[miggizle85]

After seeing this trailer, I understand Catwoman's role:

She represents the poor. She's angry at the rich for having so much and giving so little. But through the story, obviously, she finds that the rich man (Wayne) isn't so bad, and that just because he's rich doesn't mean he's not doing good in the world. This movie seems to be a love letter to rich Republicans. The message is gonna be: Rich people aren't bad and poor people shouldn't be mad at the rich. Rich people are good and poor people should aspire to work with the rich because only together can we achieve success and be happy. This is what the Catwoman character is bringing to this story, which is blatantly inspired by the current economic crisis and the debate in the country between the 1% and the rest of the country. Here we go again: Nolans injecting their right wing agenda into a Batman movie.

Wow. You didn't even have to watch the entire movie to come up with that ridiculous fallacy of a theory and completely illogical personal conclusion about the Nolan's themselves. Good job.

I like that quick shot of Bruce down for the count all bloody mirrors his first shot in Begins laying in the cell...

It does. I like that we do get scenes that mirror BB, but they don't feel repetitious, or been there done that. At least to me.

 

[Secret Fawful]

Very fickle if you ask me.

It is. Because OMG...how dare Nolan film a big budget action scene for his big budget action movie.

 

[Herolee10]

One thing's for sure; it's going to be an all out war in TDKR.. something that I'd never though that I'd ever see in a Batman film.

How ironic though is it that this film appears to be the "darkest" yet has the title of "The Dark Knight Rises"?lol

 

[meee]

Who got excited during the trailer seeing the rich, white, Gotham business man who got high SAT scores who probably has three kids in college based on their high SAT scores getting dragged around on the floor?

 

[Octoberist]

Worst part is, they're calling it silly and "soulless" when they clearly don't know its context. But that's nothing new.

Yeah it's so reactionary which is getting a little annoying to me despite my high tolerance of differing opinions.

 

[Agent of Chaos]

I love Christopher Nolan...We are so blessed to have the best director in the game today handling our favorite super-hero

This.

A lot of great literature and films are very much products of their times, but that doesn't make them less great, it just represents a certain perspective. Art can be a valuable resource in understanding historical contexts and vice versa.

Sure it can, but do you really think these movies will go down in history on par with The Death of Marat or the like? Let's not blow these things out of proportion now. The movies are good, but will never go down as some of the best in history.

I personally liked the football shot. And this is coming from someone who thought the idea of Bane giving a speech in a football stadium was lame.

Anyway, does anyone know when WB is going to release the HD trailer online? I really hope it's not next week because SH2 does not look very strong.

 

[DrSmith2236]

Monday probably.

 

[LuiECuomo]

Use your words.

"Bruce Wayne", the persona that Real Bruce masks himself as, is VERY MUCH what I wrote. How am I incorrect?

I was rolling my eyes at your pretentious and ignorant generalizations about "conservatives" and "liberals".

 

[Sawyer]

One thing's for sure; it's going to be an all out war in TDKR.. something that I'd never though that I'd ever see in a Batman film.

It's always the darkest before dawn.

I personally liked the football shot.

I loved the football scene explosion. It stood out for all the right reasons.

 

[weezerspider]

Wow. You didn't even have to watch the entire movie to come up with that ridiculous fallacy of a theory and completely illogical personal conclusion about the Nolan's themselves. Good job.

Well to be fair to him, TDK's themes on battling terrorism is basically a love letter to The Bush Administration...which is all fairly accurate to the Bruce Wayne/Batman I grew up reading.

 

[bestever23]

I never thought I could be more excited until I saw the Football scene....I never thought we'd ever see something like that in a "superhero" film.....WOW

 

[munchie64]

Did you not see the trailer where Selina Kyle is ranting about the rich vs poor?

There is no such thing in the trailer. She simply states her opinion about Wayne and his "friends". We no nothing about her story or how and if her opinion changes.
Stop trying to troll its not working

 

[Secret Fawful]

Any body know what the hell Wayne says after being let out of his cell. To me it just sounded like this:

WAYNE: Diggy-booby dee?

OLD MAN: Rises.

It didn't sound like "Nolan farting all over the screen"? How strange for you.

 

[Octoberist]

I loved the football scene explosion. It stood out for all the right reasons.

That scene along with Bane talking to Bruce sets the trailer into overdrive into a much darker tone. Also thanks to the chanting.

Not too worried about a record on Apple. If TDKR happens to break it, fine -- that's awesome but it virtually means nothing. I enjoyed the fact that TDKR won 'The Most Anticipated Film of 2012' at the Spike Awards, but it's also a meaningless accomplishment.

I doubt Spidey will contend with TDKR. The reactions to the reboot have been mixed. In my opinion, Raimi's Spiderman is still fresh in people's minds.

As for The Avengers, it'll probably gross 500-700 million, but I don't see it beating the TDKR's numbers, especially after Ironman 2, Captain America and Thor (C+ films at best).

Spike awards? I honestly don't even know what channel those are on. Seems like a narrowed census if I've ever seen one. I do recall GL being hotly anticipated by them only to suffer from lack of audience familiarity with the property among other things.

Either way you miss my point. Spidey and Avengers don't have to beat or even do Bat like numbers. They just have to be very present. In a way no one was present when TDK was waltzing to BO glory. And like I said there are a bunch of films that have a solid shot at being present next year.

Lastly Cap and Thor were both forgettable, how much you wanna bet Avengers will be a different sort of beast. Even Bay would have to worry about that messing with his numbers.

I'm quite intrigued by Bruce Wayne. I personally felt that Bale's performance in TDK was overlooked by Joker fanatics. Heath never stole the spotlight from Christian.

I've yet to see Tom Hardy put on a lousy or lackluster performance, so I have absolute faith in Hardy's Bane. I've only witnessed the prologue but I was blown away by Hardy's transformation into the character.

Don't blame the fanatics. Jokers was captivating. Batman should be too. For some reason they go out of their way to make him not. Like I said before I'd love to see the interrogation scene filmmed with Bane instead of Bats. Just to let fans know what bats can be under the right direction.

I've heard good things about Hardy. At the same time I've been hearing a boat load about this voice and how it's distracting from his performance. I only heard one thing about Heath...

I don't think it will be just that the poor shouldn't be mad at the rich. Quite the contrary, a number of lines from Batman begins point out how completely tone deaf the rich can be to the plight of others. It's why Rachel drives Bruce to the crap side of town, its why Falcone scoffs at Bruce. If anything these films are about the responsibilities of those with the means.

 

[miggizle85]

It is. Because OMG...how dare Nolan film a big budget action scene for his big budget action movie.

To be fair to most of the critics of that scene, most were saying that it felt out of place in the trailer. You have all this emotional stuff before and after it, but in the middle of the trailer there seemed to be this lone football scene.

It was later pointed out however that the beginnning part of the trailer that is missing from the bootleg shows an establishing shot of the football field, and a kid singing the national anthem. THat little omission would have made it (the trailer at least) flow a little better.

And besides people are allowed to have an opinion. Not everyone who finds something wrong with something has to be considered fickle. Jeez

 

[Octoberist]

Are the football players using their real name and numbers for the football scenes?

 

[Goku Goes Crazy]

Did anyone else get a Best Picture vibe from this? I did!

 

[Goku Goes Crazy]

Are the football players using their real name and numbers for the football scenes?

Nope

I don't think that Bruce Wayne represents the typical rich community as some of the posters here are implying, sure to the world (people of Gotham) Wayne is a rich spoil t boy but there is more than then meets the eye real Bruce fits neither in the Rich community (that would be Tony Stark.) or the poor community. (IMO.)
