The Dark Knight Rises The TDKR General Discussion Thread - - - - - - - - - Part 141

I feel bad for Marion, shes much better than that. Im sure even for her watching that scene is cringe worthy.

 

[kvz5]

She redeemed herself with Rust & Bone though. She's most likely getting a Lead Actress Oscar nod for that.

I do wonder sometimes how directors feel when an actor/actress is ridiculed/criticized for a performance (particularly for serious roles) they gave on your movie and then they end up with an award winning performance for a different movie under another director.

 

[Doc Samson]

This. I don't understand the apparent fascination of going for a literal interpretation with that line. It doesn't make sense.

Never understood it either. BB made it pretty clear that Bruce was out to be a symbol, not a career vigilante. And regardless of speculation to the contrary, IMO, TDK did nothing to change that fact. It kind of reinforced it for me, actually.

Here's the video of The Dark Knight Legend Exhibit (in case you guys can't make it to the event):

Thanks for sharing that.
Very cool stuff indeed.

 

[Mysteryman]

Btw that link to a Volkwagen commercial atached to the word "Cool"?
I didnt intentionally make that part of my last post
I have no idea where it came from.
Sorry about that .

Mando already went there on the first day and took pics - it looks like they have an extensive collection of costumes and props. I can't make it until next weekend but I'll bring a non-iPhone digital camera and see if I can get good pics for you guys.

He said that there were only like, 5 people there when he was there. So I dunno how well it's being marketed.

 

[Travesty]

Or maybe the statue is scaring people away....

 

[Ant-LOX]

I would explode, that exhibit looks so cool.

Seeing the Tumbler & Bat Pod earlier this year set me off, I wish The Bat was touring around the country.

 

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

After just seeing the Tumbler Tour at Heinz field a few weeks ago, it makes me wish they has some of the costumes and extra stuff as well.

Well, Bruce does spend the movie wanting to retire, which obviously plays into his absence between Knight and Rises.

Nolan asked Heath to be in Batman Begins and Heath turned it down. Good read here:

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

Ya I posted something about that a couple pages back, I for one never knew Heath auditioned to play bruce/bats in BB, im glad he didn't or else we wouldn't have one of the best villain portrayals of all time.

Dat scene.

[AnneFan]

Dat scene.

That and the masquerable ball are the BKICH - best kisses in cinema history.

As per Batman Forever's "wait, doesn't Batman ever kiss the girl?"

I remember there being talk about Nolan meeting with Heath pre-Begins. At the time, I could only imagine that he may have had him in mind for Bruce/Batman.

You say that now, but when Anne performs a kiss in another movie, you'll probably change your stance again, lol.

 

[kvz5]

Dat scene.

Girl knows what she wants. The way she grabbed him...

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

She thought he was going to die and that was the end of him...because he lied.

i'm going to say this about the ending btw

Spoiler

I really think that Batman/Bruce is dead.When you think realisticly then you know that batman could not have survived just after the last 5seconds before the bomb detonates.And those bombs are radioactive.
Even if he would have jumped into the water he couldnt have survived it.
The fact we see Bruce at the end with selina is pure a idea from WB.

WB:Nolan you can let people think that batman is dead FOR some moment,but then we want you to let bruce sit there at the restaurant.So that people can decide for themselves if he's dead or not.

I think Nolan really wanted to let Batman/Bruce die but WB wanted the end that we now got.So that we could decide.But it's obvious that he's really dead.

Not really. No. Not at all.
