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

[Goku Goes Crazy]

Wow, thanks for posting those article quotes!

"Nolan cast Hathaway because he believed the actress could handle the role's biggest challenge; suggesting w whole history for the character that's not in the script and never spelled out to the audience."

"Hathaway prepared by devouring old comic books and watching movies starring Batman creator Bob Kane's two inspirations for Catwoman, Hedy Lamarr and Jean Harlow.

That's it folks...

All great information, nothing very new but really solidifying the fact that Team Nolan is going for something risky and great here.

Reading this kind of implies this ending is going to be anything but: "And then Batman gets the upper hand and kicks Bane's ass" there's a heavy weight going on in these films as individuals and as a series.

Sometimes there's only consequence to actions and not some kind of retribution. Sometimes you have to life with the damage of your choices forever and I really think we're going to get something like that.

Needless to say yesterday's pictures and this article today really have revamped my anticipation for this film. It's going to be bigger and better than TDK and I really don't think the other movies this season are going to compare.

I like that based on these quotes and marketing, Catwoman is a villain while Tate is a love interest. Sneaky.

 

[The_Raganork]

Nolan says that he's naturally drawn to Batman's more iconic villains-as long as they can live credibly within his more realistic neo-noir treatment of Gotham...Hence Catwoman was irresistible to Nolan both because of her pop culture stature and the fact that the crafty cat burglar is Batman's earthiest of baddies. That said Nolan's Selina Kyle is presented as an enigma, maybe even to herself."

"Who is Selina Kyle? She's someone who wants you to think she can answer that question."

Let the games begin

Yeah, when I read that, I knew it was going to cause a stir.

I agree, without a doubt.

Nice! Will you be uploading the iPad version too?

I thought Catwoman was holding something. She's just low to the ground. Morgan Freeman looks so old in that pic (Yes I know he's 74)

 

[ChrisB]

Nice! Will you be uploading the iPad version too?

I can't, I'm running late from work just posting the pictures. I won't be able to read it until I get home tonight.

"Listening to Team Nolan talk about the film, you find yourself wondering: 'Will Batman actually survive till the end credits?"...."We wanted to show a character who is aging, who is damaged, who may not be in his prime," says Bale. "He has never encountered anyone with such blunt force as Bane, and this is not the best time for him to encounter him."

It's time to bring back THE KIRBY HUG!!

HERE'S A HUG FOR YOU BATMAN!!

They're working with a lot of lofty ideas, no doubt. Definitely more ambitious, and we should be in for a treat.
