The Dark Knight Rises The TDKR General Discussion & Speculation Thread

[Yurka]

Assuming we get the teaser with Potter (two weeks from tomorrow) and considering the fact that the production is moving to Pittsburgh at the end of July, surely we'll be getting something within the next two weeks, right?

Maybe not Catwoman necessarily, but at least a look at Batman? I mean, if Batman is going to have the same suit as TDK, why hold off showing him of all things?

Why show Batman at all if he's exactly the same? If nothing has changed visually with him I have no desire at all to see him. The only thing that could be interesting to me about a Batman promo pic if that were the case would be the environment, and I don't necessarily want to know what exactly Batman is doing in a scene. If its a new costume, then show a promo pic, if not, then I don't mind not seeing one. My 2 cents.

I'm still betting on him getting a new suit. I know a lot of people think otherwise but I think they have a new one for him in TDKR.

 

[Kynergy]

Yes, Selena.

I could see them tackling something that required something like this in the comics together.

Tandem jumping.

Could just be a bunch of no name characters too.

I don't think that's to likely, but I could see it. I still think it's just some random paratroopers from some organization (military, swat, *sigh* LoS). Maybe a part of Bane's plan. I have no idea. This movie is such a confusing mess. But I like that, it keeps me interested.

Because he's the film's main character, and even if the suit is the same (which I'd hate), it'd still be nice to have the first official picture of him from the movie.

It's been three years since TDK. I want to see Batman again .

Yeah, it'll be nice to remind people that he's still in this movie. t: Plus it makes sense for the marketing standpoint. He's still the most recognizable character in this movie outside of the Batman fans (followed by Catwoman).

I'm confident we'll be seeing a new Batsuit though. Now whether it'll be a good one or not is a different matter altogether.

 

[DarkKnight FTW]

This movie is boggling my mind.. I have literally no idea what's going to happen.. Which is good. I still neeeeed pics and a teaser tho dammit

It's Mind Bottling!

 

[ChrisB]

I'll be at the midnight showing, so I can vouch.

Will you be able to update us from the theater before the movie starts?

Dont get me wrong, I'd love any new promo pic, but if Batman were to remain visually identical to TDK, I'd rather hold off.

I believe he'll get an altered suit at some point, not a new one. He'll reinforce the current one in certain areas, i.e. back, holes throughout body etc. (Im just hoping that enlarging the mouth and straightening the ears have some practical application)

I think twitter will explode with TDKR trailer news no matter who's at the midnight showing. Heck, cinema managers will probably know before the film starts too.

 

[kvz5]

There's a good chance we'll find out if the trailer is attached a few days before, right?

Ya, I'd say so. It happened with TDK, right?

Yeah, good point!

 

[Yurka]

Most likely. I expect the fake teaser descriptions to be overpowering next week.

This piece for @totalfilm is turning out to be rather research heavy. Thank goodness it's a geekathon on Catwoman and The Dark Knight Rises.

Wrote this to a reply asking if there was an TDKR article coming

Yup! So hopefully it's the same case.

Oh god. I guess we better get our armors on!

I have a bad feeling that we might not be getting anything. Besides the Bane pic, they really have not followed any of TDK's pattern. It just seems like they're behind on the marketing.

 

[Boom]

There's also that website that posts the ratings of new trailers (the name of the site escapes me) days/weeks in advance.

If there's a trailer with Potter, we'll know ahead of time - one way or another.

Ugh. They're playing with us. Again.

Or even...record and upload the teaser??

Wollaton update from David James:

michael caine and morgan freeman left nottingham this afternoon. the rest of the cast and crew are potentially here untill saturday. the park is open again on sunday, not saturday. mathew modine did leave the hotel today, but wasnt carrying luggage so he might still be in nottingham.

oh, and DO NOT jump the walls at night. trust me when i say the security they have employed is serious. one of the daytime guards told me who they have on set at night. were talking millitary. just dont want anyone to get hurt.

(thanks to dragon_316ca for the find)

What's so wrong with having the LoS in this? Have we not learned that the only way Nolan will disappoint is if your expectations are stupidly, uncontrollably high?

Pfft I'd still try and sneak over

 

[batbax]

Military? Nolan really wants this thing wrapped as tight as a knot doesn't he? Nolans power knows no boinds

 

[SingItWithMeNow]

im gonna laugh in that jett guy's face when nothing comes with harry potter 7.2.

I didn't say I think he'd mess up the film but, I'd like personally to not retread that ground.

If he does it I have all the faith in the world it will be done amazingly.

I just hope some new info from this. He says he's been doing lots of research, so it has to be something that isn't put yet, what's the point of the research if it is?

And I wouldnt like to have LoS involved in this either, i just cant see a good point for their return. Bane would be even more spectacular if they're not involved.
