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

[Bane_Fanboy]

I don't know everything... I can say for me it was the most intense and exciting experience in my life lol, but that may be due to being in Gotham City. What happened is what it basically looks like.

I can say there should be a lot of awesome angles. Nolan shot part of it from this elevated crane looking down over the whole set! That was cool.

Thomas Hardy seemed like a genuinely cool and professional guy. Bane seemed more threatening than the Joker. While Joker is imposing due to being a maniac. Bane is imposing due to his sheer presence and command. Very military almost, as hinted to in the trailers. Hardy is awesome.

That is all I need to know!! Glad Bane is More menacing than than the joker. IMO Bane > Joker. Thanks t:

Regarding Hathaway looking "young", I remember a while back Nolan (and perhaps Hemming) were discussing the Joker and how they'd cast such a young actor for the role. Both said that in Nolan's world it was the young radicals who would put on the costumes. The fact that Selina is so young reflects this - as does the casting for Crane and Joker.

So... Batman is still on the front page of the newspaper... Doesn't that allude to him being active?

some said that he was not active between the end of TDK and beginning of TDKR. of course when TDKR starts he is active. you think we will not get batman until the second act? t:

Just came home. VERY LATE to the party it appears. BUT......those pics rock. Catwoman at the safe. Really that just makes me feel the vibe of a thief more than any other Catwoman. Bane is boss. Batman on the ipad looks legit. Damn....I really love Batman. I'm having a Bat-Gasm.....

 

[Agent of Chaos]

Bane looks incredible. My favorite shot of him.

What does he wear here, I wonder? And what is that place with the hostages...

Bane looks incredibly menacing in this new photo still. Man, oh man! It's so exciting to know that the marketing campaign for TDKR is finally starting to ramp up. Cheers to costumer designer, Lindy Hemming, btw! From all the footage and stills released so far, it's apparent Hemming has done a fantastic job dressing up our favorite characters in stunning and appropriate attire. Now hopefully someone manages to scan pages from the full-length article sometime today..

Everyone is so skilled at their jobs. This isn't a spoiler, so I can dive into the level of detail they went into...

The costumes we all wore were very detailed. Plus the set itself? I know you guys can't see this but even the smallest sheet of paper on a desk was designed purely for Gotham. These are details that you can only really see on the set, their too small to see on the screen but god - they put a lot into it. Seriously, a pad of paper specifically designed for that scene. It was beyond surreal.

 

[Ant-LOX]

Those images are just, thrilling!

Batman on the iPad, I too had a Bat-Gasm!

Catwoman, in front of the safe, oh lord!

Bane is just---oh wow, I can't express emotions now

I have to breathe.

EW cover is terrible. Pictures are pimp. The CW one sold me on her costume. As always, it's all about context and seeing her as part of a set and a scene, I love it and (no surprise for me) I love her, too.

Bane's new outfit could easily be a modernization of Blofeld's.

Bruce wearing his dad's robe? Nice touch.

Levitt pic? Don't really care.

Bruce and Selina dancing? Nice.

Batman looks so imposing in that pic holding the Batpad. Loved his costume, but they've managed to tweak it enough so that it doesn't look weird in any angle so far (contrary to TDK). Widening the mouth hole did wonders, methinks.

Overall, I must say... finally. Finally.

Batman on the iPad, I too had a Bat-Gasm!

how do you know its an iPad? maybe its just a tablet?

sorry but i am from europe. and for years i am hearing ipod insted of mp3 player.

iPad- tablet
iPod-mp3 player
mac-computer
iPhone-phone.

i am sorry but its just makes me angry that when we see a tablet ,mp3 or phone on screen everyone from US talks like its from apple.

 

[DKDetective]

I know I'm a little late to the party tonight, but did anyone else already notice that in the photo of Bruce and Fox, the initials that are embroidered on Bruce's robe are "TW" That's a pretty nice touch I thought.

I thought that at first but there is a big fold in the pocket possibly obscuring the rest of the "B".

 

[Bat-Gasm]

It's more of a joke really. It probably controls The Bat. (Talking about the Batpad)

Look, I'm in the middle of having a Batman overdose, I'm sorry for calling it an "iPad", or calling a sterile medical bandage a "band-aid", or calling a cola drink a "Coke".

It is now officially, The BatPad.

I just wonder what it controls, and if it controls The Bat, then I really don't know if I'll be able to sit through this movie without screaming like a little girl.

 

[Norek]

Don't care what you think.

That picture of Bane is the scariest most serious, most impressive look I've ever seen of the character.

Maybe you don't care, but I will say it anyway - I absolutely agree!

I just can't wait to see the aftermath of TDKR and all those people who said Tom Hardy is too fat, too short, too ugly and whatnot, to play Bane... They will eat their hats. I'm confident that Bane will be at least on par with the Joker.

The more I see from Tom's Bane, the more I forget about the mexican-wrestler Bane from the comics. This is Bane, in my mind.

The Machinist is one of the only Bale films I still haven't got around to seeing yet. Body transformations aside, is it that good?

It's more than just good, you should definitely check it out.

Considering the PG-13 rating includes language, how badass would it be if Bane drops an f-bomb?

I don't think so, and I don't really care. Dropping an f-bomb does not necessarily make you a badass.

If we're so excited about new movie stills, imagine what will happen when they'll post first descriptions/reactions from CinemaCon footage & then, they'll unveil the 3rd trailer... good god!

I agree. Not only new movie stills, but just some scans of them, and this gets me so pumped up! I don't even want to think what the final trailer will do to me.

Do you guys think WB is going to update the website with new stills, backgrounds and other neat stuff b4 the release of the 3rd trailer? I wasn't there for TDK promotion, so I'm not sure how things occurred back at that time.

I really hope so. For now, I just want these scans in full quality - that would be a great start.

 

[Ant-LOX]

Yeah, "bad" words have been watered down to nothing these days. If you can get your point across without using them, it makes more of a statement IMO.

 

[Ant-LOX]

I really hope so. For now, I just want these scans in full quality - that would be a great start.

Magazines usually come out in Thursday in Philadelphia, so I'm picking up a few copies later today, but by then they would have been scanned already, hopefully.

I just hope this issue hits today, and not next Thursday.

 

[TangerineKnight]

I think we'll be getting the pics in Hi Res today.

 

[BuddhaWasABat]

I really hope so, but kind of doubt it.

It comes out today, HQ scans will be available, don't worry Buddha.

i am sorry for my post. i am also happy for the new pics.

and its time for a new trailer. t:

 

[Greens]

Wow! I initially thought the only pic left was the Fox/Bruce one. This is awesome. Can't wait till we get some HQ versions of these.

 

[Naked Shia]

I can't wait to read what the gotham times has to tell about the caped crusader. Maybe Bane announces he will break him, like Joker announced Mayor Garcia's death in TDK ^^

 

[Greens]

Hahahaha
