John Blake IS JOHN BLAKE. Goddamnit.

John Blake is Tim Drake. Goshdarnit.

 

[Sharkboy]

Rag left (most likely permanently) because quite a good chunk of members he considered friends decided to turn on him after his probation, can't blame one for not wanting to be here after that.

I don't know about that one, i do know a lot of people didn't approve of his OTT, uncalled for (and frankly quite harsh) rant against the poor fella.

 

[Reek]

Um John Blake is Jim Gordon. Deal. With. It.

 

[kvz5]

The one where [BLACKOUT]He takes over as Batman while bruce rides off into the sunset with selina, selfishly leaving behind gotham to a complete amateur. Because we all knew bruce's war against crime wasn't to truly save gotham it was to get over his parents death in a way that didn't involve sitting on a couch and talking /sarcasm[/BLACKOUT]

Oh yeah.. There's a lot that I don't like with that rumored ending as well. For the sake of my sanity, I forced myself to forget about that when I first read about it.

 

[Bim]

I was wrong about the no bruises thing. They're still there.

Please help me, kvz5... is it wrong that i'm trying to see if Bruce is wearing pants in this?

 

[BatLobster]

Tapley is really acting like a knob about this whole thing. Jett is known for doing, "I know something you don't know", right?

Tapley is doing, "I know something you don't know...and it sucks. Panic!"

The irony being that it's either something that's untrue, or something that we already kinda/sorta figured out and isn't a deal-breaker for most people.

 

[Sharkboy]

While i'd rather not guess too hard at what made that guy so distraught, I could imagine it's the ending...whatever it will be. It could be [BLACKOUT]Batman's death[/BLACKOUT] because I still believe that is happening.

 

[Bat]

Which one? I've read so many rumors about Blake that I can't keep track of them anymore. One day he's the Joker, the next day he's Robin. A few minutes later, he's Nightwing. And then tomorrow he's Azrael.

I think Nolan foresaw all the rumors coming about John Blake and planned for that. We won't be disappointed in my opinion. I have so much respect for the filmmakers and cast of this film and all the extraordinary work they put into bringing us a fantastic finish that I hope and pray nothing gets out before we all get our first chance to see it. We are so close and it's going to be amazing.

To be fair, I'm also going to ignore any rumor, true or not, when I see the film for the first time. I'm allowing myself to be surprised and not expect any thing.

John Blake is the Falafel guy's son

Nevah.

We need to investigate!

Spoiler

(Phsssttt.... this is Nolan. Of course he's wearing pants.)

That ending sounds a lot like Blade Runners theatrical ending.

Maybe Christian Bale gives a halfassed drunken monologue on how Selina won't live forever (4 years he figured) but Blake told her she was special as he drives by a sunny countryside. Wayne didn't know how long they'd be together but then again who does?

 

[Jedm1991]

I've got no issues with Blake becoming Batman

Spoiler

 

[Sharkboy]

There really seems to be real allusions to DKR with this film (I could even imagine this films title being The Dark Knight Returns at one point) but it does make me think that the film will end with either Bruce's death or Bruce faking his death and starting his own LOS type sons of batman deal.

Must get Mountain Dew codes...

 

[Nevincer]

I don't know about that one, i do know a lot of people didn't approve of his OTT, uncalled for (and frankly quite harsh) rant against the poor fella.

I'm just calling it how I've been told. Apparently things got a lot more personal, and a lot harsher, both on and off these boards. Considering it was just one post, and his ban robbed him of the chance to make amends or apologise/defend himself, I can't say I agree with the brutal response. Everyone has a bad day.

 

[Van Petrol]

Sorry to be burden guys and gals, but what are we talking about here? Ending? Tapley?

 

[Bat]

Must get Mountain Dew codes...

We need an army!

 

[Deserana]

John Blake IS JOHN BLAKE. Goddamnit.

Pfffffffffffffft in a Nolan film????

terriwoods - Shocked at that tweet you made. Not worthy of you. Expected something like that from a troll.

Kristopher Tapley ‏- It was perfectly reasonable.

1) If it was "reasonable" why delete even if there was a fanboy response?
2) Looing at that and other tweets he sounds pretty ticked off about whatever he heard.

 

[JackWhite]

What did this guy say on his twitter? Was it a brief rundown of the film?

 

[MultipleJesuses]

Wow really? We just decided to turn the end of the last thread into a Rag bashing session?
The treatment he's received since being banned is a hell of a lot worse than what he got banned for.

Anyway, looking back on some of the spoilers from 2008-now has been hilarious.
This is my favorite article of all time. The biggest tabloid newspaper in Britain were so definite:
