This should probably go in TDK forum, but it doesn't get much traffic these days.

Aaron Eckhart on working with Heath:

That was just so incredible to hear

 

[Brain Damage]

That put a big ol' smile on my face. Terrific find

 

[ThePhantasm]

I have no problem saying that every frame of MotP was perfect.

I agree.

I wasn't aware this lawsuit exists, but WB wins this one in the Clean Slate legal battle: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-esq/warner-bros-wins-lawsuit-fictional-524779

 

[Anno_Domini]

Holy Hell that was hilarious to read.

 

[JackWhite]

LMAO. That is too much.

 

[kvz5]

Clean slate? What's that?

The ultimate tool for computer security systems.

Not sure what a master jewel thief would want with that, lol.

 

[Anno_Domini]

How ironic would it be if that company that owned that computer security system sounded like Rykin, lol.

 

[Travesty]

Mendelsohn should have been forced to come to the court and explain it to the judge again. For the record.

One of the deleted scenes.

Also, another deleted scene was an alternate ending. Alfred sees Bruce at the cafe and walks over to him before asking "How did you do it?"

Bruce: "The clean slate."

Alfred: "What's the clean slate?"

Daggett jumps out of nowhere.

Daggett: "The clean slate? Where you type in their name, date of birth and in a few seconds, they're gone from every database in the world?"

And Bruce and Alfred just stare silently at him until he leaves.

WB should've trolled the hearing where everytime someone says "clean slate", Mendelsohn would jump in and say "The clean slate? Where you type in their name, date of birth and in a few seconds, they're gone from every database in the world?".

I would honestly pay to watch that hearing over most of the movies that have come out so far this year (basically all but The Place Beyond the Pines, Iron Man 3 and Star Trek: Into Darkness).

Alright I want to see some factual statistics. I've given up asking you for some form of proof that there was TDK 2.0 claims. You haven't got any. So lets try another one. Show me some factual proof that only a few disliked TDKR.

Then you can say "Of course only a few didn't enjoy it" as though you're stating a well known fact.



The general audience enjoyed Bay's Transformers, too. You're going to have to do better than using that as an excuse. Audiences enjoyed lots of flawed movies. Are you going to try and tell me that movies like Transformers doesn't have a lot of detractors, too?



There's that hearsay again.



More fool you. Why you would want to stand by an opinion about other people and their verbal claims that you can't back up is beyond me.



Correct me where I'm wrong then.



And even more have disagreed.

So we win then since you're all about popularity numbers rather then facts.



Oh my god, how can someone be so blind? Posters listing complaints is in reference to the ones who said they THINK his heart was not in the movie based on how flawed it was, and a step down from the previous movies. They are not saying it's a concrete fact. They are saying it as an opinion.

Why oh why do you struggle to understand such a simple concept?



No, you haven't. You have been saying people wanted a TDK 2.0. The only way you could know something like that is if they said so. So if they did lets see some examples.



No, nobody can. Spider-Man 2 did not polarize fans and was never accused of being a half hearted attempt by Raimi.



Why would I hate that? The AFI acknowledges movies like The Hangover, too. Your problem is you can't defend this movie with a competent argument so you turn around and say "Nyah nyah nyah more people agree with me than you. The AFI liked it so there".

It's pathetic.



Here's another example. Trying to quote more numbers. The audience rating on RT for Transformers is only 3% less than TDKR and 1% less than Batman Begins. I guess that means it's almost as good as those two since the audience enjoyed it almost as much. Then there's The Avengers which has a higher audience and critic rating than TDKR so it must be better than it right?

Right? I mean that's all you believe in isn't it, Anno. Popularity numbers dictate quality. My gang is bigger than your gang schoolyard type mentality.



I have no idea what you just said there. You said "Ah finally you say that is an opinion as well" as though I have been denying it to this point.



Exactly. But at least they are basing their OPINIONS on the quality of his work instead of nothing at all.



Flattered Kane. Though for team TDKR I suggest Batlobster. He is the most competent debater when it comes to that movie.

Some people did want TDK 2.0 Thank you but you don't speak for everyone.

Show me proof of it then you can be a hypocrite and be speak for others saying they wanted TDK 2.0. Thank you.

First I helped create the term Burple and now TDK 2.0....

Assuming that two people in agreement about a falsehood makes it correct is dangerous and very foolish thinking.

 

[Tequilla]

That clean state line probably sounds egregious on paper , but i think Mendelsohn actually sells it well. Kudos to him.

It felt like the Nolans and Mendelsohn were all in on the joke of that exposition dump. Such a comic-book thing.

 

[BatLobster]

I loved Mendelsohn and how slimy and despicable he was as Daggett. As John Bierly of the MMM podcast puts it, he is a "kookie hoot" in the role.

I really enjoyed all the little bits of pulpiness that worked their way into the series via minor bad guy characters like Chechen, Maroni, Falcone, Flass etc. Nolan has this ability to marry the uber self-serious with just the right amount of cheesiness and somehow it all feels right.

Except Gambol. Michael Jai White really cannot act (no offense to any Spawn fans out there).
