Maybe we should stop before we hear from the mod this derailment deserves.....

 

[Blue_Scholar]

Just thought I would bring up the Indian architecture point again.

Fair enough, it's a good point. A correct one actually.

Just stay out of my humor.

Good idea

 

[camp Blood]

bane having super strength was confirmed

I would say the combined strength of 5 to 10 men would be great

Maybe I need to play some catchup. It seems like people know a lot about the structure of the movie.
Where does all the certainty come from regarding a lot of these scenes?

What do we know about and how do we know the context of:

- The hospital scene, Bruce jumping out
- Bruce being "outed"
- The end conflict, with supposedly a bomb on a truck, Talia, the Batwing,
- Gotham being on lockdown.
- a sewer scene where Batman gets taken down.

What am I missing?

Before it all got derailed with those "deserves" parodies - can someone help answer these?

 

[The Joker]

LMAO! I love this. I just watched TDK, too.

After visiting the injured Gordon.
- Bruce being "outed"
Unmasked by Bane
- The end conflict, with supposedly a bomb on a truck, Talia, the Batwing,
Um...yes...it's happening.
- Gotham being on lockdown.
Nuke holding the entire city under threat if outside authorities try to act.
- a sewer scene where Batman gets taken down.
We don't know if it's actually a sewer...it could be, and/or the mercenaries' underground escape route. We know it will be wet.

What am I missing?

Catwoman, maybe...which we haven't seen enough of yet.

Fair enough.

You guys seen this story yet?

http://dailypygmy.com/man-freezes-self-until-release-of-the-dark-knight-rises/

At the very least, I would make a pros/cons list if the opporunity came up.

Not sure if srs.

 

[hulk24]

what if the batcave is the prison?

 

[slimshady247]

what if the batcave is the prison?

Last time I checked, the Batcave did not have a stepwell. Anything is possible, though.

we haven't seen the batcave since the improvements though

 

[slimshady247]

This is true. But it doesn't really add up, what with the green screen well in India and then the stepwell.

 

[Jedm1991]

Stairwell prison thing was filmed in India, months before the Batcave set was made in a L.A studio.

Yeah, plus I'm guessing the top of the well is that green screened thing we first got set photos of.

 

[zmystico]

Something I was thinking about and would like to see...

The very end must contain a scene between Batman & Gordon...hopefully in some way Gordon knows Bruce is Batman, it just feels right for him to know in the end. For all they've been through in the first 2 movies, and what they will go through in the finale, INCLUDING Gordon begging Batman to come back, they must finish their story together with something strong and meaningful.

In Begins, it was the start of their relationship, 2 good men joining together to clean up Gotham.

In TDK, while they worked together essentially, they also shared a really great scene at the end with knowing Batman had to take the fall to protect Dent's image and the hope of Gotham.

In this film, they need closure almost, Butch & Sundance riding off into the sunset so to speak. I think it's obvious by the end, Batman will continue to be Batman, but Gordon should know who he is.

What do we know about and how do we know the context of:

- The hospital scene, Bruce jumping out

This is seen in the trailer and we have spy shots of it. The tie from the spy shots match the tie Bruce is scene wearing, as well as the same suit. So its Bruce, in the hospital with Gordon.

- Bruce being "outed"

Bane having tumblers, Bane with Bruce's mask in the sizzle reel all imply his secret is lost to Bane. Bane telling people seems like natural progression. There are other reasons as well as what it could mean to the story.

- The end conflict, with supposedly a bomb on a truck, Talia, the Batwing,

We've seen plenty of spy shots of this. Ends with the truck crashing and Batman hooking the Batthing to the truck.

- Gotham being on lockdown.

Mostly known from sources but also from description from extra casting calls. 3 months seems to be the most repeated amount of time. Further evidence is shown with the tunnels being boarded up with cars and the most recent map of Gotham shows most of the exits as being "strike zones"

- a sewer scene where Batman gets taken down.

As seen in the trailer, photos and descriptions

What am I missing?

Spoiler

Bane destroying most of Downtown Gotham with his doomsday machine

 

[hulk24]

This is true. But it doesn't really add up, what with the green screen well in India and then the stepwell.

that might be for a different scene

 

[The_Raganork]

Stairwell prison thing was filmed in India, months before the Batcave set was made in a L.A studio.

Was it filmed? or scouted? Cause there's no reports of Hardy or anyone other than pence and Bale being there

 

[TinkerTailor]

Spoiler

Bane destroying most of Downtown Gotham with his doomsday machine

Whoa. Has this been confirmed? I must have missed it.

 

[The_Raganork]

Whoa. Has this been confirmed? I must have missed it.

It hasn't been confirmed but I trust what I've heard and I know others here have heard it too, independently from me.

 

[The Joker]

Bane's plan sounds like a bit of a puzzlement. What's the point of attacking greedy corporations and exposing Dent's corruption etc if he's planning on destroying Gotham anyway?

 

[TinkerTailor]

It hasn't been confirmed but I trust what I've heard and I know others here have heard it too, independently from me.

Well that would certainly raise the stakes. t:

I COULDN'T agree more. Took the words right out of my mouth.
