The Dark Knight Rises The TDKR General Discussion & Speculation Thread - - - - - - - Part 16

Roland Daggett.

There was a picture taken of a trailer in early July outside the Senate House in London labeled "Daggett" along with one for a "Striver." You can find them on that unmentionable website.

Goku posted his alleged scene late last month with Striver, saying that he is the Vice President of Daggett's company.

Anyone taking bets that he appears in the film? Or is it more fan-fiction, like Herrera's who wrote it?

While there are some posters here who are in the know, but is it me or does everyone have a 'source' now? I mean no offense to Goku but nothing tells me his source is legit especially when Goku is just a fan. Unless he's connected but i dont see the incentives.

Bruce doesnt even really need to be recovered to be Batman now he has the "Batwing" , could finish the film and the villains still paralyzed from the waist down or something

Meh. No thanks. The point of having an injury at all is so he can recover from it and better himself and prove himself anew. Not "Bane breaks Batman, Batman comes back and kills Bane from a distance with batwing shouting 'nyah nyah can't get me up here'".

The most important question is... Will there be a training montage?

It gets my vote, but only if Bale's shirtless

Nolan hasn't failed me yet in that department. I'm convinced it's in Bale's contract.

i hope we get a training montage with epic Zimmer music.

Hey! Christian Bale is NOT Taylor Lautner! He CHOOSES to remove his shirt.

 

[ggghhh]

did we talk if Bruce Wayne is in the prison in Gotham when Bane takes over? that would be interesting if Bruce Wayne is all the time in Gotham hehehe

There was an old rumour about Bane meeting Bruce in prison, no idea if it was legit, it was while they were shooting in London but I wasn't around these boards at the time.

 

[Blue Sugar]

I'm a sucker for both training montages and shirtless Bale. I'd say go for it!

Yeah I heard this too and it goes into the story that Bane actually has a respect for Wayne as an abused citizen of Gotham.

There were rumors that Bruce is arrested on suspicion of being or aiding Batman but an attack from Catwoman is mistaken for Batman and he's released.

Also his parents Death would make him victim of Gotham and thusly Bruce is one of the few people Bane is 'sympathetic' to in his control of Gotham

 

[DayOfTheBees]

One of my friends is doing work experience at Wollaton Hall this week, and she said the museum assistant said watching Morgan Freeman and Micheal Caine walking around the Great Hall was surreal, and that Anne Hathaway is actually quite short :P
She also says that apparently Bale asked for a bigger chair or something, and the actors were given a guided tour, and the woman doing it didn't even know who they were.

The only way I can see the GCPD releasing Bruce when they mistook Catwoman for Batman while Bruce is in custody is if he was accused of actually being Batman. Seeing Batman (even if it was Catwoman) while Bruce is in custody doesn't really disprove anything if the accusation is only of Bruce helping Batman.

I still think it's Hardy, it makes sense as a mini-montage in the teaser, showing 3 stages of Bane before the Bane vs. Batman shot at the end.

 

[The_Raganork]

I just don't see how in any form or way that can be Hardy.

 

[The Joker]

That is blatantly Christian Bale IMO.

 

[venus_ice]

I gotta go Bale on this one. Mainly because if you go frame by frame you can see a bit of facial hair and I don't remember Tommy having any during filming. Bale did at the beginning of filming though

Agreed

 

[kvz5]

It's not even the hair since that can be added even if Hardy is bald or has no beard. The facial features IMO is Bale's. Same with the body built.

That scene also jives when they were talking about Batman.

It's not just the facial hair, it's the hair in general. Hardy has had a shaved head this entire time.

And the back. Tom's back is monstrous compared to Bale's there.

Now I need to do this.

Denial ain't just a river in Egypt.

 

[hatebox]

Wow, I didn't even realize there was a debate over this. Unless it's a character we don't know about, it's definitely Bale.

 

[ggghhh]

Denial ain't just a river in Egypt.

I'm not fussed either way, just saying it how I saw it but I'll leave it to the back experts. The character is definitely in a cell of a prison though, I think we can all agree on that.
