The Dark Knight Rises The TDKR General Discussion & Speculation Thread - Part 18

[Octoberist]

Was there an insider who stated the last battle will be effects heavy? It sounds like they have filmed in-studio.

 

[Tojo]

Personally i'd rather the prologue was not explaining in explicit detail Bane's background. This can be skilfully construed through flashbacks. If we see Bane behaving a certain way, it's necessary to have some mystery as to why he is like that. The prologue should, imo, focus on Batman being chased by the GCPD, in a scene perhaps reminiscent of Year One.

 

[camp Blood]

now I can't stop thinking about what "effects heavy" means

that could mean CGI bane or just massive destruction of buildings which would support the earthquake machine rumor

 

[The_Raganork]

There is no CGI Bane.

 

[Nevincer]

Didn't that person on Twitter actually say that the ending was 100% visual effects? Would that mean no actors? Eh... sounds kind of unappealing to me...

like I said buildings collapsing would support the earthquak machine idea

I just hope they use a mixture of cgi an practical makeup to make bane physically change in some manner when he uses venom

If Venom is involved at all

And

If the Venom has some affect on his physicality

No it means the ending will be filmed entirely in front of a green screen in a closed off sound stage. There will be actors, but they will be in front of a green screen, in a secure room. Only those in the room will know the ending.

Ah gotcha. That makes more sense.

Could literally the last shot and be a shot of the Gotham Skyline.

Now that it isn't Chicago they may want to use all the skylines of the cities used and create the new look of Gotham.

 

[Nevincer]

If the Venom has some affect on his physicality

It would be more realistic to make it more of a rage sort of thing, making Bane more hostile and dangerous than to change his appearance.

Fixed

EDIT: But I think this is the best theory

In may I offered that if the LoS is involved then I wouldn't mind this being the fear Toxin and if Bane was raised and taught by Ra's he could be brainwashed into showing rage and physical madness to things he fears. So a dose of Fear Toxin would drive him mad with fear and he'd have an unnatural and irrational drive to destroy what he was seeing.

I'm not talking a change in size or anything

eyes become blood shot sweat starts pouring face becomes flushed veins pop and pulsate maybe the muscles swell a little

lulz yeah. Didn't mean to sound like I knew definitively. Just a theory.

 

[arnold friend]

does anyone still think that this movie will be broken into two parts? if so, the chase scene from pittsburgh could serve as both the end (of part 1) and the middle of the film as a whole. maybe just wishful thinking on my part but it seems like they just have sooo much to fit into 2.5 - 3 hrs.

 

[The_Raganork]

I think if that were going to happen we would know by now.

But it was at some point brought up as a possibility somewhere.

I doubt it and we would have heard news about it by now.

 

[Nevincer]

If the scope is as big as Rag would have us believe I'd say the story would be done more justice being split into two parts, but that's probably just me.

 

[kvz5]

We would've known by now if they were planning to split it to two. WB would surely make a spectacle out of it.

 

[arnold friend]

thats what i keep thinking too. most movies that are split, are planned and announced that way from the start (ie harry potter pt 7, the hobbit) but maybe they want to surprise us. What are your thoughts for how they will squeeze all of the character development for the newcomers into one film and not have it feel rushed?

There is no way Nolan would split a story.

Not going to happen.

Look at BB, Nolan managed to fit in Bruce's Origins, Batman's Origins, the state of Gotham, Rachel's character, a mob plot, Ra's Al Ghul and the League, Scarecrow and a doomsday plot all in one film and it laid out very nicely.

 

[arnold friend]

You're probably right. Well, I hope this movie is 3 - 3.5 hrs long then. I keep thinking about how sad I will be on July 21, 2012. not knowing when to expect the next sequel/reboot. *sigh*

 

[Boom]

Hopefully you'll have three quality films to tide you over until then, which will be a vast improvement over having to wait eight years with the last Batman film being Batman & Robin.

But there is no chance in hell of this movie being 3+ hours long.
