I haven't seen the movie in a long time but I assumed Bats always had the clean slate program.
 
I think so, i haven't seen it in a while. I dont remember it much.
 
That's the one that aired on TV which is a cut-down version. The one on the Blu-ray is about an hour and way more in depth. It's really a great watch. I need to re-watch it myself, it's been a while.
 
Read this on another forum. I haven't seen the movie in a while, but reading this just makes me all the more passionate about TDKR. Ill always defend this movie.

I love the films ugly truth. I initially questioned a third film after the end of The Dark Knight. I was concerned that continuing the story might somehow distill TDK's ending. But especially after watching TDKR I realize how wrong it would have been to end Batman's story on that note. What Gordon and Batman did at the end of TDK was wrong, no matter how beautiful and selfless it may have seemed. Oldman and Bale did such an amazing job of showing how the guilt from their actions weighed so heavily on them over 8 years. It truly was the logical story progression to have a long gap in between films to show what happens to a society when it is based on a lie. The way they used Bane and the LOS to act as this metaphorical and literal "reckoning" rising from underground and revealing the ugly truth Gordon tried to bury was genius.

It's interesting to see when the protagonists have to face consequences for their actions. Protagonists too often get away without answering for their choices. But Gordon and Batman suffered through the majority of this film and having John Blake sort of be the conscience and voice of reason for both of them was very cool. I also love how the movie contradicts itself as Blake lies to the children about the bus protecting them from the bomb implying false hope. I thought that was very clever in showing how we do what feels right at the time even if it goes against what we normally believe. I felt this trilogy as whole was a lot about making choices and having to answer for those choices right or wrong.

That's so weird, I could've sworn I read the same post on here once.

But yes, I really agree with the last line- we do what seems right at the time. That's why I don't blame Batman and Gordon for what they did in TDK. Yes, it ultimately proved to have negative consequences in the long run, but at the time it seemed like the only way of dealing with a really bad situation. Having to make impossible choices comes with the territory of power and being a hero.
 
If I remember correctly, I believe it was the great and enigmatic Milost who made that post. But I could be wrong.

I was wrong, wasn't I?

:doh:


But in all seriousness, that's a very cool and appropriate quote regarding the film. Especially the part about Blake giving the orphans on the bus false hope in a dire situation.
 
Travesty...quit yer trollin' and buy the movie already so you can see that great Batmobile doc. :awesome:
 
I've picked up a trick or two.

I found the Trav-Cave. :word:
 
Robin John Blake shows Selina the co-ordiantes to the Trav-Cave.

The Trav-Cave sounds so.....so, so gross.

And that pic of JGL with that light isn't helping.

That's disappointing. That game was a major factor in me going next gen at the end of the year.

Oh well, it's nice to know Rocksteady are commited to a quality Batman game.

Oh yeah, least we won't be getting full of bugs in the game so. I'm happy to wait for it.
