like the info from 2008 that Nolan was editing TDK in june? which is impossible?

More like the hubbub over Bane's voice, or other assumptions made from candid spy photos, etc. I don't remember the stuff from '08.

Have you seen this picture before (i know it's the cover of Empire, but not entire) ?

That's a bad ass gun.

 

[munchie64]

I'm kinda interested in what that gun exactly does...
I mean is it a laser? Is it a little light bulb that blinks?

 

[Herolee10]

Interesting....batman doesn't have his trademark claws that are normally attached to his arms.

Wow. I can't believe I didn't notice that. Do you think it has something to do with the gun?

 

[MiniBond]

and here's our big friend...

I haven't seen this cleaned up version. Where'd you find it?

Perhaps it's an extremely bright LED beam that blinds the person or group on the receiving end. I could see Batman using it during the batpod chase - shining down the oncoming police cars causing them to either slow down from poor visibility or crash.

On a french site

 

[Vengeance of Bane]

and here's our big friend...

Where's the first picture from, Empire?

 

[Mako]

Love the cleaned up versions of the photots

Looks to be some kind of TASER:

I'm thinking it's a portable EMP gun.

 

[AnneFan]

You've got to be up close to use tasers like that, though. Whatever Bats is holding, it's a long range tool.

 

[HopeOfTheFuture]

Looks more like some gun the military is aiming at something to order an air strike. The pinpoint a certain position/location to target.

This is what i was thinking... or a mini Ray-Gun.

Yeah maybe it's for the Bat Wing to fire missiles or something.

A natural evolution to the TDK's Sticky Bomb Gun:

 

[munchie64]

Good thinking Nitrobot

 

[TangerineKnight]

Its a Bat-Modem

 

[Optimus_Prime_]

I kind of felt like Selina's line in the trailer may indicate that this movie will somehow allude to the financial crisis. Whatever they do I hope it isn't like the blatant (and flat) Patriot Act metaphor in the last film. "Hey look, it's a giant piece of surveillance that taps into phones -- I wonder what that is supposed to represent Captain Obvious".

Bane attacks the stock market and causes major damage to Gotham.

Seemingly these events (and probably some others) cause a terrible turn down in Gotham's Economy.

But you should expect there to be some very, very close similarities between events in the film and events in real life. Particularly OWS

Super big version of Batman and his new gadget.

[madcowre]

That gun is pretty badass!
