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

[ashminator]

oh and dark hunt im not liking that amount of grey on bruce, so my hope is fading fast - unfortunatly

 

[kvz5]

what book was bale carrying around?

"A Hero of Our Time"

 

[Tojo]

What happened to some posts in this thread RE:Begins/TDK?

Anyway, does anyone have any concrete info on why Bale has grey hair?

 

[The_Raganork]

Bruce has aged.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Huh... i'm not seeing the gray in that picture. Although Bale's hair does look a little too greasy and slicked back for my tastes.

 

[Nevincer]

Bruce has aged.

Yeah, there's no doubt about it. I'm guessing there's gonna be a big time skip... which is why "Batman" apparently didn't exist anymore in the teaser.

Ah well there we are... Man, Christian is looking tired.

The white isn't natural. His roots are still brown

Yeah. It just looks like some small white spot.

Well, of course he's aged....but I was asking more as to why/how etc. It seems strange to put a discreet streak of grey in his hair, because in movies aging ir rarely shown in appearance(think DiCaprio as Howard Hughes for example). It's usually just implied that time has passed. To put grey in there somehow suggest that a lot of time has passed, which would be strange.

Assuming that the Wayne Manor scene, him getting dropped off at Selina's apartment scene and this one all happened in the same day, his hair style will be different at each one. Reminds me of that motorcycle scene in TDK.

And the gray here is very unnatural. Hence my suggestion of Wayne somehow getting into Ra's gray sideburn juice.

I said it like 5 pages ago... looks like he's been through the ringer.

My mind jumps to the lazarus pit naturally for the grey hair... or some realistic equivilent for the Nolan series.

But then i'm sure it is a much more simple explanation.

 

[Mister Meddle]

Alternative Bale images with "gray hair". Don't know what to say about the dye job.

Thats what i was thinking. What if they use the lazarus pit to restore him to health but it also makes him bad.

Sounds a little Spider-man 3...

Black symbiote / Lazarus pit = hero goes rogue.

It actually needs a touch up. The brown roots are showing.

or just gives him grey streaks

Yeah. More looks like highlights to me.

 

[kickass]

After seeing the photos of the "batwing" in the air, I gotta say.............that's the best design they could come up with? It's the ugliest thing batman has ever flown.

 

[Mister Meddle]

I'm still hoping that they add CG wings so it could look like a flying bat instead of a flying lobster.

 

[The_Raganork]

People said the same thing about the Tumbler.

 

[Nevincer]

People said the same thing about the Tumbler.

Yep. I remember Pre-TDK there were tons of people that wanted the Tumbler to be a prototype batmobile and have Bruce come out with something more Burton-like later on... not gonna happen.
