The Dark Knight The Rise Of The Joker

I was ecstatic about the idea of the bat lenses but what would the General Audience think??? I think people would think Batman is trying to imitate Iron Man by using those lenses. Is this good or bad? Same goes for the new suit as well.
 
I Have To Say I Am Disappointed That It's Just The Rise Of The Joker And They Didn't Take The Time To Do A Deeper Origin For Him. Joker Certainly Deserves It. This So Called "rise Of The Joker" Just Better Be Better Than Batman 89. I'm Not Payin To See The Same Movie Play Before My Eyes.

Ok, I Will Pay To See It But That's Not The Point....

Oh yeah, I was pumped when I heard about the lenses too. It's gonna be off the chain. The audience for TDK will be majorily Bat-fans anyway. Those who don't know don't really matter at all. Plus anyone who seen Bats even briefly in a comic book or something will probably identify.

Plus, Nolan is good about explaining why things are what they are being he has a heavy focus in realism. Just like Fox explained in Begins the suit, cape, and other technical things to give the audience the meaning of why Bats has what he has. I'm sure they'll explain the eyes as well as the change to BLACK AND GRAY in the suit, which I'm excited about the most of all the Bat changes.

The general audience who don't know these things won't be left in the dark night.

Pun intended.

K... so usually capitalizing entire words is considered screaming... but you only capitalized the first letter of every word. Does that mean you are screaming only the first letter of each word?:yay:

The fact that he doesn't have a origin adds more to this character.

It makes you and the audience wonder why The Joker, does what he does and what has caused tortured soul to be the way he is. A perfect example would be Halloween The Original One. Micheal had no origin and because of it made the movie and his character better.
 
So, Joker has become Carlito's Way? lol kidding, kidding

If the first 5 minutes are a prologue leading up to what Joker will become than it's got to be Batman hunts him down to the warehouse, he becomes Joker, and then he reemerges from the vat of chemicals looking like he's been untouched and unaffected by them but the big reveal will be he actually is perma-clowned. Hopefully that'll be the case because I don't want to see some guy masquerading around as a clown for no damn reason.
 
wait so non imax gets a trailer
IMAX gets 5 minute rise of
or do no imax ppl get diddily squat?
 
The lenses will have a logical purpose. Batman, after all, is the gadget master.
 
Let me interject here with the "Ten foot bug" theory that Steven King uses. He suggests that the really interesting part of a story is the part that isn't spelled out for you, so that you can fill it in with your imagination. The imagination of the viewer is always more disturbing/satisfying than that of the director, since imagination is everyman's vision... while the director's vision is oneman's vision. If you know there is a giant bug behind a door, you are scared to open it because it could be a ten foot bug, but once you open it and see the ten foot bug, you are relieved because it could've been a hundred foot bug... and so on and so on... while if the door is never open, the bug is always as terrible as you can possible imagine it.

All apologies to Mr. King for attempting to paraphrase him.

The forum automatically converts the post so only the first letter of each word is capitalized. This way, it only seems half as annoying, but at least obvious that he attempted to put everything in caps in the first place.
 
eh the lenses thing might bother me in the sense that the last time batman had lenses come on was Batman Forever... yeah nuff said.

Ahhh... makes much more sense now, although I have to admit it was funnier imagining only the first syllabul (spelling?) of each word emphasized.
 
Jett on the recent news.

"Basically, Batman will be able to drop down lenses as needed when using the new suit. They'll be like night vision goggles.''

"And while that "prologue" will be seen in the film, it was pre-planned and intentional."

"His visit has something to do with what's going on in Gotham, and not him just going to HK to fight crime. There is a specific reason why he's there."

Lenses? Bat-Sonar?

...FREAKIN' AWESOME!!! :up: :up:

Ahh, so very true. A person I know who's in their 50's once said that they were more scared reading the Alien book than watching the movie because they imagined something much worse. Also reminds me of a little line I saw on one of those "VH1 Scariest Movies of All Time" things during Halloween like 3 years ago, I forget who said it....

"The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is remembered as one of the bloodiest films of all time, and there's hardly a drop. It always just cuts away when anything real bad is gonna happen, and that's the beauty of it, the psychology."

Precisely my point, which is why I think it is a credit to Joker's character that we don't know how he became what he is... so that we can imagine whatever horrible things we like...
 
Given that Chris Nolan is constantly concerned with how his films are presented, I will simply assume that it is safe to see the footage.

It's a non-issue. For the masses, it's just a cool new gadget (something that is EXPECTED of Batman movies). For the fans, it's a long-awaited nod to the character's typical comic appearance. Same goes for the the suit; Batman on film is known for his high-tech suits, it's not a huge leap, as if Begins hadfeatured a cloth suit.

If anything, Iron Man contains more elements that are "classically" Batman, including the billionaire alter ego.

But bottom line, people don't care about these similarities. The masses eat up just about every hero.
