What are Team TheBat and Pre-Prison?

 

[Tacit Ronin]

Wow. There is a cross on Alfred's back.

 

[venus_ice]

Just realized that Alfred probably knows about Bane since his tangerine days. That's what that "born and raised in tangerine on earth" was about.

 

[kvz5]

I hope that Alfred scene is a tracking shot all the way to the Batcave.

Now that would be impressive.

Nolan's goin all Kubrick.

 

[markjoedelonge]

really hope Alfred will ask Bruce "Why do we fall?" in TDKR. Full Circle.

Not necessarily, if the CIA knows about Bane, chances are there's a record of him on file somewhere and Bruce has access to ALL types of databases.
The scene looks like it's in the batcave.

Maybe Bruce is looking up some information on Bane on the computer and mentions the prison he was born and raised in. Alfred may be familiar with the prison itself, hence the "born and raised in hell on earth".

could be. do we know why the CIA wants Bane?

Up and coming high profile terrorist on Americas most wanted list maybe?

 

[the Wankstar]

All these very long behind the back shots are very interesting, very Kubrick/Shining-esque. If youve ever seen John Carpenter talk about Halloween he talks about doing shots like that cause they build dread and are very foreboding. Def adds to the horror feel and it makes me think all these scenes are earlier in the movie cause they add to the feeling of dread ie Bane showing up

ahh I see. maybe that's why the government also helps Batman in the end by sending in the troops?

 

[kvz5]

I can't remember which interview it was (Empire I think?) but Nolan talked a bit about those shots from the back. I think he said something about like giving the audience the same POV as the lead character.

And or to do their duty and serve; coming to the rescue of a city under siege.

Fixed.. unless you meant Payed Per View

And I'm going to lose it if I dont find that Empire with Batman/Catwoman on the cover. No comic shop in the city has it yet!!

LOL yes! It's late ok?

Well stop burning the candle at both ends and go to sleep

That'd make for a really heroic sort of moment in the film.

Cool thing about it is... it seems like NO ONE can really do anything about Bane, but Batman.

 

[rashad]

That shot of Bane in the tunnel climbing the stairs and walking down the corridor is a great tracking shot as well.

 

[Kryptonian Warrior]

really hope Alfred will ask Bruce "Why do we fall?" in TDKR. Full Circle.

You know, I was watching BB earlier tonight and when the scene of the Wayne Mansion destruction took place, and Alfred asked "Why do we fall? So we can learn to pick ourselves up!", I thought to myself that I hope they incorporate that into TDKR somehow. Along with the touching music from when Bruce would remember listening to his father's heart with the stethoscope, as it could make for an emotionally gripping scene. I am expecting all kinds of emotions throughout this film, and I am expecting to shed a tear or two.
