The Dark Knight Rises The Dark Knight Rises

[regwec]

We'll have to see the movie to decide.

 

[Boom]

Yeah, I know. Just throwing out a theory.

Still hate the title, though .

 

[FlawlessVictory]

The more I think about it, the more I can see how "rises" makes sense. It's still similar to BATMAN BEGINS, and it's still generic, but I would probably have preferred BATMAN RISES to THE DARK KNIGHT RISES. It has the same number of letters as BATMAN BEGINS, flows better in the context of trilogy titles, and would indeed feel like the franchise was coming full circle. That, and it's not the exact same title as the previous movie with one more word added.

BATMAN BEGINS
THE DARK KNIGHT
BATMAN RISES

"Batman Rises" also just scans better and sounds snappier, to me.

"Batman" has two short vowels, "The Dark Knight" has three elongated vowels. "Rises" adds another two, so I prefer "Batman Rises".

Looks better as text, too, I feel.

Yup, definitely should be "Batman Rises". Rounds it out nicely.

BATMAN RISES

Not to mention it sounds better off the tongue, TDKR is a bit of a mouth full.

 

[brewme99]

Call me over-analytical, but I think they went with The Dark Knight Rises as a play on words.

The Dark Knight Rises = The Dark Night Rises

Goes back to Dent's speech about the night being darkest just before the dawn, and that the dawn was coming.

TDK = The blackest before dawn.
TDKR = The coming dawn (the night rising).

That, and the story being about Batman's redemption (or rise).

beautiful

I really didn't like the title "Dark Knight Rises" at first, but it's kind of growing on me; what I also like about the title is that Nolan's films will be more established as the "Dark Knight" films, setting them clearly aside from the previous "Batman" films . . .

 

[Tacit Ronin]

Maybe they will go back and change the title of Batman Begins to TDKBegins.

 

[echostation]

Batman pisses

j/k What about something like Batman: Knight Rise

they always do Knight Quest or Knight Fall in the comics

doesn't Batman: Knight Rise sound kinda cool?

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

"One ticket to The Dark Knight Rises please"....Yeah I'm not going to be saying that.

I do like the sound of Batman Rises more than the title that we got, eventhough I'm not in love with it either but there is no doubt that it is better.

 

[batman_gr]

So, eventually we will be asking for "tickets toThe Dark Knight" or "the new Batman film" cause everyone will be too bored to say the title. I believe, in like 5-10 years, everyone will remember the film but many will confuse/forget the title.

But anyway, I love the title for all that implies and as Bat-Gasm said "The movie is going to be great either way".

 

[louiebling$]

I would have prefered "Rise of The Dark Knight"

 

[jmc]

Does anyone really bother about saying the full title for any film when buying tickets? I don't do it. "One for Batman please". Any person behind the counter who doesn't know what you're referring to is an idiot.

Thats true, to be fair I never say full names anyway. One for Batman is good enough.

I wish it would start to grow on me, but I know it won't.

Batman rises is much better sounded and makes much more sense.

 

[Naite22]

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I really dont mind the title, just as long as Chris Nolan is behind the wheel, which he is. Yes, I would have prefered something else I guess, but it's no big deal to me. Though, it's amazing how a little "word-bending" can make the title that much better. Simply "Dark Knight Rising" would've been suited better imo.

Hahahahaha, people are reahearsing how they're going to ask for their tickets now? Wow.

 

[Mr. Earle]

I'll just say "gimme a ticket for the goddamn batman movie".

 

[El Payaso]

Very uninspiring. I'm on the verge of hating the title but since it reminds me of TDKR I think it's ok.

 

[FlawlessVictory]

Hahahahaha, people are reahearsing how they're going to ask for their tickets now? Wow.

Yup. I was practicing in front of a mirror all night.

Did you come to a conclusion of the approach you'll go for in the box office that day?t:

 

[scifiwolf]

I can't believe people still think that a pun as a title in the comics makes for an appealing major motion picture blockbuster title.

As for asking for the tickets at the theater, I simply said "Batman" for Batman Begins, "Batman" for The Dark Knight, and I'll ask for tickets to "Batman" this time. I did the same for Spider-Man, X-Men, Indiana Jones, and every other franchise I've ever gone to see.

 

[Mr. Earle]

On a second thought i will simply go to the theatre in my batsuit. I'll say "i'm batman" and the cashier will know what to do.

 

[The Guard]

I say we start a movement to call it BATMAN RISES. That's what I'm going to call it from now on.

If it's going to be generic, it might as well look good doing it.

 

[Bathead]

Yeah, he'll call the loony squad. (J/K)
