The Dark Knight Rises The TDKR General Discussion Thread - - - - - Part 154

[I Am The Knight]

I'm okay with the concept, especially how it melds the Begins and TDK posters and fits in nicely side by side with them. But it's always going to look like a hacky photoshop job to me knowing they just slapped Batman on the teaser poster. That gif ruined it for me.

I do however love this one, even though it's way over the top and doesn't quite fit the movie:

Can't say I like that one. Not to mention that it is another Photoshop hack job.

Yeah, if anything Rises feeling a bit more sophisticated is just a result of Jonah and Chris tackling the screenplay rather than Goyer. Their writing just has a more literary influence to it, it shows up in the dialogue.

Yes, I really love the dialogue in Rises.

Bruce in the cave surrounded by bats. Not in the top 10?

 

[georgec]

Yea the list was a little light on the BB moments, but overall I thought it hit most of the best ones.

 

[The Joker]

Great list overall. Obviously it's all subjective, as a couple of my favs that would be in MY top 10 were not there like Ra's burning down Wayne Manor and Two Face/Gordon family hostage scene.

But honestly there's not a scene on that list that isn't great. In fairness they were spoiled for choice. They could have done a top 20 and still have missed some great ones.

 

[JackWhite]

Yeah, it's pretty much impossible to make a definitive list of the top ten/iconic scenes from the trilogy, because at least one or two scenes will not make the cut in favor of others. Like Batman's sacrifice at the end of TDK, that easily makes my top five.

Solid list though.

Lots of great moments. They definitely got number 1 right.

 

[Shikamaru]

For a second I thought they ranked TDKR's ending as #1 while TDK's ending just got an "honorable mention".

 

[ThePhantasm]

I didn't watch the list because I hate WatchMojo, but here's my top 10 trilogy moments:

10. Bane Plane Takeover (TDKR)
9. Climbing out of the Pit (TDKR)
8. Bruce Discovers the Cave (BB)
7. Bruce and Ra's Train fight (BB)
6. SWAT team takedown (TDK)
5. Batpod vs. Joker Truck (TDK)
4. Batman v. Bane (First Fight) (BB)
3. Calling Backup (BB)
2. "A Dark Knight" Ending (TDK)
1. Batman v. Joker Final Fight (TDK)

You mean TDKR.

No. He means the fight with proto-Bane, aka Osaito at the beginning of Batman Begins? Don't you remember? Osaito swatted Bruce's delicious breakfast to the ground and started comparing himself to the devil. That was their first confrontation.

 

[ThePhantasm]

I did mean TDKR, but the dance with the overweight asian devil in the pale sunlight obviously is a close runner up.

 

[BatLobster]

The train gifs LOL

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Man... I love the Begins suit.

Even in those gifs, it looks great.

 

[titansupes]

I laughed out loud so hard. Amazing.

Yes that scene with the triumvirate broken is a wonderfully painful highlight to the whole trilogy.

Both of these made my day. Thank you.

I also had never seen that Heath Ledger clip. He really was a class act.

 

[Victarion]

That dude was one of those ninjas in the hallucination training sequence. He got burned bad when Bruce destroyed the League compound. That's why he wears his mask as Bane.

 

[Iceman]

Haha, love those gifs.

 

[Ryan]

A lot of great moments in the video. Probably the only one I'd remove is "the climb'. I found it entirely predictable and kind of cheesy.

 

[Panthro]

Hah, the train/training gag is really funny
