The Dark Knight Rises What did you notice after multiple viewings that you didn't in the first?

Can't post bootlegged GIFs. :argh:
 
I cheered when I kept seeing the veteran cop ("Oh boy, you are in for a show tonight, son!") show up later on in the movie. He's one of the few cops who escaped the tunnels and is most prominent next to Blake in the rebel troop roll call right before Gordon pays Foley a visit.
Yep. I think he's also in the one where they meet up with the Speical Forces guys, but I'm not 100% on that. And as someone else mentioned, he's in the group of cops put on "trial" as well. I *think* (and this is only a guess, mind you) that he's even out on the ice, but that's only guesswork-we don't ever see his face, its just that one of the guys is sorta built like him and has the same hair.
 
Because he's seen carrying a rifle and he uses it at the Stryver/Selina scene shooting at cops on the rooftops, plus he wears a red bandana which are Deadshots colors.

And because he had a mustache and was a cocky *******.

Yeah, sorry, not seeing it. If he's Deadshot, he's rather a ****** version.
 
There seems to be some kind of marks or designs on the side of Bane's head that I didn't notice the first time.
 
i just noticed, when Bruce gets out of the car to attend the charity event, he used an EMP device to kill all the paparazzi's cameras!
 
In TDK Batman has to save Gordon's family from Two Face, he jumps from the building, he takes Two Face with him, he falls.

Batman also takes the false blame for killing cops, so he takes a fall.

In TDKR, Bruce climbs out of the prison pit and as he reaches the top we see Bats surrounding him, that shows the Rise of Batman. nice contrast using the scenes to convey the fall and rise in the two movie (TDK and TDKR.)
 
Me! During the final stadium crowd shot I'm on the lower right wearing a black and gold troll wig. Thought I noticed it on first viewing but confirmed the second time. Was so hot wearing the wig that day, but I knew it would be easy to spot if it made the final cut. I can barely believe I can call myself a citizen of Gotham City. Thanks Mr. Nolan for making my dream come true!

You must be really happy, I know all Bat fans would like to be in the movie in some way.
 
When Batman fights Bane for the first time in sewers and loses, Bane says that "shadows betray you"

So, the the next fight with Bane is out in the open and in full daylight.
 
I might be wrong on this, but when Batman defeats Bane in city hall and he's questioning him about the trigger he seems to turn him around and search him briefly as he props him up and punches him repeatedly. Maybe he was making sure the detonator wasn't on him.

That's definitely in the script, but I didn't notice it in the finished film. I'll pay attention for it next time I see TDKR.
 
I don't know if this has been posted before in this thread or in a 'Joker' discussion thread, but I just saw it in again imax and noticed that in this scene:

In the movie, there is a subway entrance to the right of everything in this picture that has the graffiti tag "KAO$" on it.
I think it's the movie's only subtle hint at the Joker being loose in the city.

Joker's absence in the film was covered in the novelization of The Dark Knight Rises.

Basically, when Arkham was blown up in Batman Begins, it was rebuilt but all the prisoners were moved to Blackgate. However, they stuck The Joker in Arkham after his arrest in The Dark Knight. Now, he's Arkham's sole prisoner, kept alone aside from his guards. He now has no one to terrorize and/or sway to his beliefs. The idea is that this would truly drive him crazy, since that is basically all he did while he was on camera in The Dark Knight.
 
I found this on Tumblr. Is about the scenes in Begins and TDKR where Alfred comforts Bruce after his parents and Rachel's death. There's a part I think fits on the topic:

http://batsylantern.tumblr.com/post/31020184324/batmannocinema-these-scenes-are-so-strong-that

These scenes are so strong that when I saw the first TDKR trailer and the tray on the table, without Alfred, I thought he could die in the movie. And how Selina enters in the prohibited part of the mansion and in Bruce’s life in Rises? Doing almost what Alfred always did, except for one detail: Bruce needed go after the tray. Thinking about the end of the movie, I don’t think is coincidence.
 
I did notice that a lot of the complaints some people had in reviews, that I thought were valid, were actually answered in the film upon multiple viewings. Specificially, Alfred being out of character when he explicitly states his reasons for leaving.

What was out of character? Alfred didn't want to be there to see Bruce kill himself.

And he was damned near right about everything. Can't say I blame him.
 
You remember that bald guy Bruce fought at the beginning of BB? "You are in Hell and I am the devil." That guy?

There was someone who looked just like him at the city hall fight. You can see Batman pulling him out of his way as he approaches Bane.
 
When Blake is walking on the Batcave's platform, there is something on the right that looks like a giant spider, with some blue lighting around it

WTF is that?

A costume?

There also seems to be a classic batmobile or batwing underneath

on repeated veiwing(9 times and counting) i cant help but think that the editing and choice of take seems rushed,seen on imax some of the cuts are just awful and 2 lines,oldmans"we could use a few hotheads areound here"sounds like my granda when he was drunk....and JGL's reaction"i'd like too.."when talking about telling the kid about his dead brother just seems so bizarre and out of context the way it is delivered.


also in begins,a criminal takes marthas pearls,uses a gun,inspires bruce to be batman,in tdkr a criminal takes marthas pearls,uses a gun and inspires bruce to give up being batman.

She inspires him to become Batman again first though
 
"women weaken legs", that's why Batman couldn't put up much of a fight after just having sex. :woot:

I wondered this too in my 2nd viewing: perhaps another reason why Miranda slept with Bruce was because she knew he was going to confront Bane that night (information from Bane ala deals with Catwoman). I hate to agree, but sex does tend to weaken men to a degree physically. He clearly wasn't up for the fight. Another coniving scheme by Ms. Talia.
