The Dark Knight Rises The TDKR General Discussion & Speculation Thread (NOT A LOUNGE) - - Part 57

[The_Raganork]

I can't wait until this film is released and John Blake is literally every other character from the Batman mythos.

 

[AnneFan]

Just like Rachel Dawes. An original character.

 

[The_Raganork]

People also trolled websites posting 'Snape kills Dumbledore. Page 606, totally true.' I was happy to be spoiled rotten for Half Blood Prince though, so I wasn't bothered.

If anyone does that for TDKR...

it's already happened here for TDKR.

 

[Ant-LOX]

The first screening will be in NYC, I bet.

He secretly screened things here at Lincoln center before. I wouldn't be surprised if he did it again. It's the biggest one in the country, it's got it's merits.

^^^That.

Thank you, now I know where I want to see it.

Philly's IMAX is real-deal (Franklin Institute, half-dome), and I'll see it a ton their.

But Now I know where to go when in NY, shooting the ads on Buses, Times Square and everywhere else.

I just Pray that TDKR has the same promotion blitz as the last Pirates of the Caribbean movie.

Seriously?

 

[The_Raganork]

Seriously?

sadly yes. I won't say what it was but it happened a few times.

Good thing is that we take everything with a bucket of salt here sometimes so we tend to throw them away. For better or worse not believing the truth (even if we know it) still keeps us unspoiled.

 

[Miranda Fox]

Aha. Glad I missed that.

 

[venus_ice]

Oh god. I don't want to know even if I know. Let some things remain uncertain.

We don't want to die of thirst, though.

Spoiler

I don't recall this. Of course don't say what the information is, but somebody came in and a matter of factly stated true TDKR spoilers - not just stuff from speculation?

 

[The_Raganork]

Yes but, the secrecy over the movie makes everything seem like speculation at this point.

 

[Kane52630]

Remember the two official stills that didn't look official? (Batman vs Bane and the first Catwoman photo) Well, someone adjusted the colors a bit and it somehow looks really good.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

The Bat Bane battle doesn't have a warm tint though. It's high contrast and desaturated if one looks at the trailer.

 

[The_Raganork]

The Catwoman picture is still awful.

 

[ggghhh]

The Bat vs Bane pic is looking out onto the street, I don't think we'll ever see a view of Pittsburgh like that in the film when they're filming it in two different cities. I think there's a white production trailer in the background too.

 

[Nevincer]

*pokes head in* Hey guys, have I missed any news?

Nope.

Yeah I know but still, it made it look slightly better than the original.

*pokes head in* Hey guys, have I missed any news?

Not that I know of but give it 3 more weeks and I'm sure the TDKR marketing dives head first.

Speaking of merketing...
Whatever happened to that "Bane map" late last year?

I think that was just a 'thing', so to speak. It showed us the strike points - where Bane would attack but I think that's it. Unless it comes into play in May, but I don't know.

Looking at the bigger version of that map, it's clear that the Narrows isn't as dense as it was in Begins. Chances are Gotham's probably gentrified it in the nine or so years since Crane's attack. Probably stands to reason then that it won't be seen in The Dark Knight Rises.

 

[Pagan]

it's already happened here for TDKR.

yeah I remember that.

 

[MrWayne]

So do we think the 1st strike will be the football stadium?

 

[John McGuirk]

So do we think the 1st strike will be the football stadium?

I bet it's the city's introduction to Bane.

I don't know man, I think it is pretty great and gives us a look at just how expansive Bane is...

I interpreted it to the best of my skills.


BANE'S MAP OF GOTHAM CITY (7,942px × 8,146px!)


STRIKE ZONE 1: Sandy Hook Bridge and Gotham Stadium

(article about the bridge scene)

STRIKE ZONE 2: Boat Tour Route


STRIKE ZONE 3: China Docks

STRIKE ZONE 4: Frilliom Park
(Big confrontation with the Police and Bane's men "Braveheart" style?)


STRIKE ZONE 5: Chelsea Tunnels

__________________________________________

Bane and his men are closing off every major highway(the thick blue lines) entry and exit into Gotham.
All of the rally points and check points are almost all underground in the tunnels, which is evident by Bane's legend in the lower left and the Map's real legend in the upper right. Notice the Subway's path.
Bane forces Gotham police to use the subways or sewers and hunt him down. Makes sense to me.

This is No Man's Land.

 

[MrWayne]

Dang, wish that map was in Hi-Res

This is interesting though...
