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

The Hunger Games just had an over 200 million dollar opening weekend.

I wouldn't be shocked if TDKR took in 300 million on its opening weekend.

Actually it was $152 Million for the Hunger Games. The record for the highest grossing weekend goes to Harry Potter 8 part 2 with $169 Million. I can see TDKR make around what the last Potter film made in it's opening weekend, we will see if it makes to $200 Million.
 
I leave the forum alone for a few hours to celebrate my birthday and I come back to this? 'Can't say I'm surprised.

Stay on topic. Have nothing to say? Don't say it. Or take it to the Lounge. Probationary bans will be the result of all who don't heed this extremely redundant warning.

Oh, and congratulations on earning the thread a title change. :up:

Don't respond to this post.
 
I think that theory's been around for quite some time. In fact, after the film came out, JGL was number one on many folks' lists to replace Heath since he looks so much like him and he was starting to get a good buzz about his adult acting career.
 
Rumour Burn Gorman is Roman Sionis - Hathaway in one scene with him
 
if jgl is joker where are the scars in the set photos

Nolan didn't pick JGL for a role in this film because he resembles Heath Ledger, he picked him because JGL is a good actor on his own.


Okay, who the hell is this guy? :D I've wanted to ask for a long time.
 
he's from "check it out with dr.Steve brule" and "Tim and eric's awesome show great job"

bur seriously if jgl were the joker he would have scars right

Yes.


He's not the Joker, Nolan already spoke about the Joker/Heath and treating TDK as a memorial to a great actor.

John Blake is a beat cop with some very important parts in TDKR, it's getting a little crazy that people need to believe he's someone else, its starting to say something about fanboy culture.
 
yes exactly and if he did the small little portion of my brain that respects Nolan for begins and prestige would die for the lameness of casting someone else as the joker
 
Let this rumour die quickly please, no joker in tdkr and im glad it stays that way. I never wanted Joker to be in the sequel, even if Heath (rest his soul) were alive today.

You dislike his other films?
 
Yes.

I understand Nolans effort to try to differentiate from the comics but there is a plethora of characters to choose from for supporting roles. Now I'm not saying every character who says a line needs to be from the comics, but for a character with as much screen time, and one who has an action figure on the way, like Blake, it's interesting IMO that this be an entirely new character.

With decades of stories and characters couldn't they have at least chosen a name? Perhaps it was based on a character but the name was changed for a reason (Montoya/Ramirez).

That's one reason I loved Begins, Henri Ducard didn't have to be Henri Ducard, but he was, and that was a cool little nod for fans.

And let us not forget Tate. Dozens here were quick to write her off for months as simply Tate, even to guarantee that there's no way she would be Talia...

I'm definitely not saying Blake is more than Blake, but I do find it interesting that a well-respected actor/character with as much screen time and value to the story as him, especially in the final part of a trilogy, would have no influence from the source material. So needless to say I'm excited to see how his character turns out.
 
You dislike his other films?

I'm not saying they are bad but TDK and inception really didn't click with me while on the other hand begins and prestige are really up there in my favorite movies list
 
I just think John Blake is our window into the life of a normal do gooder cop in Gotham, maybe he starts the film as one of the many cops who hate and hunt Batman, only for him to go on a journey of realisation of sorts that it's much more than that. Maybe his character arc is just representative of the feelings and attitudes of the general gotham populace on a singular scale.

Or maybe he's more like the narrative centerpiece the way Tahei and Matashichi in Hidden Fortress, or R2D2 and C3P0 in Star Wars were. Just a normal everyday character in the middle of this huge conflict, we pretty much follow him around the story as he encounters the big players. That was my first thought when i heard of his character.

Or maybe it's a combination of both...or maybe he's just a bit player. I'm just glad JGL is in the film, he's one of my favourite actors going.

I think you're mistaken. You did watch Inception but Nolan incepted your mind - planted the idea of you not having watched it. Now you have to watch it again.

I hope this doesn't happen when you watch TDKR - for your sake.
