''Goodbye''

 

[shauner111]

He was really saying 'it hurts, doesn't it?' to the audience.

I'm trying to remember if that shot of the Tumbler landing on the roof was done with miniatures (or bigatures).

That's a good question. I know they used the 1/3 scale one for the garbage truck crash in TDK, but I'm not sure if the rooftop jump was ever covered in any of the BTS stuff. I'm gonna guess the 1/6 scale, but I'd love to know too.

 

[The Shape]

Looks like miniatures to me.

 

[BH/HHH]

''Goodbye''

When my wife first saw that she laughed her head off at that bit t:

 

[Tacit Ronin]

And people say the Nolan movies were too dour and realistic...

Just show them the gif of the Bat doing rolling over a sky scraper.

''Goodbye''

That's actually one of my favourite 'little moments' of the trilogy t:

 

[JackWhite]

Anytime i see a clip of Superman saying "And it hurts? Doesn't it!" from Man Of Steel, i cringe. Such bad acting. Poor Cavill.

Man those videos are random hahah.

I forgot about him saying that. I think right after seeing MOS I just blocked it out as best as I could, lol.

I loved Batman dropping Maroni into the dumpster from TMNT, lmao.

I was cracking up sooo hard at that part, hahaha

 

[titansupes]

The Tumbler's "Goodbye" moment was excellent.

 

[I Am The Knight]

He was really saying 'it hurts, doesn't it?' to the audience.

"If Krypton lives again, what happens to Earth?" is worse.

 

[Brother Jack]

''Goodbye''

I loved that and "Loitering" during the Scarecrow drug bust.

 

[titansupes]

^ Don't forget "Intimidate".

There will be an outdoor film screening of The Dark Knight Rises at Wollaton Hall (Wayne Manor in The Dark Knight Rises)

Wollaton Hall is near Gotham, Nottinghamshire where Gotham City got its name.

One of the most gorgeous buildings I have ever seen. They should just use the same place for Batfleck's Wayne Manor, because it is simply perfection.

Bale's voice and fighting, or how he wasn't "Bat-god" is talked about endlessly, but I feel that all the peripheral details of Nolan's Batman are way under appreciated. Wayne Manor being just one of them.

Agreed, now that the Nolan trilogy is over people have to poke and prod at it. Wayne Manor was great, the only thing I really remember from the original batman movies in regards to Wayne Manor was the fireplace as Kevin Smith said was "big enough to live in".

 

[Tacit Ronin]

Not big enough for Smith though.

I thought Gotham got its name from New York ("Gotham" was a nickname for New York during the 19th century).

The real Gotham: The village behind the Batman stories

People in Gotham are accustomed to hearing Batman jokes, but many aren't aware of its historical connection to the fictional Gotham City. So how did a sleepy Nottinghamshire settlement lend its name to a city of crime and corruption?

Gotham is now a friendly village popular with families, but a few hundred years ago its residents had a reputation for "madness".
One story goes that King John, also the villain in the legend of Robin Hood, was due to travel through Gotham on his way to nearby Nottingham.
Any road the king travelled on would become a public highway, so the villagers are said to have feigned madness to deter the king - as it was thought to be infectious.
Their absurd acts included building a fence around a bush to prevent a cuckoo escaping, and attempting to drown an eel in a pond.


The trick worked, leading to the saying: "There are more fools pass through Gotham than remain in it." Villagers were also dubbed the Wise Men of Gotham.
Word of the supposedly foolish acts spread, and they were collected in various books including The Merie Tales of the Mad Men of Gotam, published in 1565.

The American author Washington Irving became aware of the tales and was the first person to link Gotham in England with New York in the US.
He repeatedly referred to Manhattan as Gotham when writing, in 1807, in the Salmagundi papers, a satirical periodical mocking New Yorkers.

Gotham then became a popular nickname for New York City and is still used today, in shop names and notably at the Gotham Center for New York City History.

Edwin G Burrows and Mike Wallace also explained how the name was adopted by New Yorkers in their book Gotham: A History of New York City to 1898.
They said: "Manhattanites would not likely have taken up a nickname so laden with pejorative connotations - even one bestowed by New York's most famous writer - unless it had redeeming qualities, and indeed some of the tales cast Gothamites in a flattering light."
Gill Hind, former chairman of Gotham Parish Council in England, tried for many years to have Gotham twinned with New York City.
"We always knew there was some sort of a link but we wanted to have it verified, then we found out about the Washington Irving connection," she says.
"We did think it would be so lovely to have have a sign at the beginning of the village saying 'Gotham, twinned with New York'."
Although the city and village have not been twinned, the former mayor of New York sent a letter wishing Gotham well and acknowledging the link between the two places.
Rudolph Giuliani wrote that it was "a pleasure to have this opportunity to acknowledge the cultural and historical link" between the two places.



Nolan went back to the roots.

 

[Shikamaru]

Interesting. Didn't know that.

Thanks for the read. You learn something new everyday.

 

[Malicked]

Mind = blown

 

[Tacit Ronin]

People didn't know this? mind = nuked.

 

[shauner111]

I had no idea.

 

[ThePhantasm]

I knew it all along...
