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

[BatLobster]

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.

I think all three films have included some kind of weird, kinda off-kilter takes actually. Oldman's accent flat out slips during the Dent/Gordon/Batman rooftop scene in TDK. I think this possibly a side effect of Nolan's "shoot fast and efficiently" method. Or it could be editing choices, can't say for sure.

Oldman's Gordon has always done that, and in some scenes in both TDK and TDKR he's hard to understand. The office meeting with Dent in TDK he talks too fast, as well as in TDKR in the scene with JGL where they are watching Bane on the news. He starts to whisper fast, too low and sounds like a blend of words

 

[Just_Human]

Is it me or Gordon laughed for the 1st time in the trilogy? (When Robin cracked a joke about overdue library books)

He smiled in BB and TDK, but I dont remember him laughing

 

[TanneRain]

During the first appearance of Batman, later in the chase Batman and Bane pass one another going in opposite directions and turn around to get a second look at each other.

That Barsad was a nod to Deadshot. Didn't even notice this until my fourth view.

this^^ Batman Wiki says hes a killer sniper.... true that

Later, in Gotham, Barsad provided sniper cover against GCPD SWAT Officers with a high caliber rifle, allowing his fellow comrades to escape into the sewers

[iHateHarley]

i also noticed that it's impossible not to know Miranda Tate is actually a villain

I admit I'm not as knowledgable about the Bat as say, the Spider, but Talia and Bruce's story was greatly ignored in the movie. Would have made her betrayal much better even though Bale did a great job selling it as usual.

During the end, right after Fox learns that the auto-pilot was fixed all along, we cut to a scene at the executor's office where they fretting over a missing string of pearls. This was Nolan's nod to the audience that Bruce was indeed still alive.

 

[Bruce Banner]

The sketch of Rachael on top of the Piano. I guess Bruce did that when his mind was "less busy".

Despite dressing a little differently, and eight years later. Oldman's Gordon is wearing his brown coat that he had in TDK and BB when they're meeting with the infiltrators in the back of the grocery store.

 

[BaleISBatman4ev]

Was the cop who is communicating with Blake from the sewers the "Must be a compound that needs to be absorbed through the lungs" cop from Begins?

And there's another instance also in TDK when Gordon and the Mayor are talking about loading the people onto the ferries, you have to turn on the subtitles to understand.

 

[Mace Dolex]

A bit of a goof I noticed in the City Hall fight just right when Batman disables Bane's breathing apparatus we next see Bane ferociously pounding on Batman and smashing a pillar along the way but in the next scene with the camera on Batman the pillar is intact.

 

[stlblues84]

This is one I totally didn't notice until yesterday. When Batman is surrounded by the cops on the bridge. He looks over at the trailer before he shoots it to make the ramp, the car on the trailer is Rachel's Taurus from Begins.

Well that's something I'd never notice in a thousand years

 

[stlblues84]

Well that's something I'd never notice in a thousand years

I only noticed it because I had seen a Ford Taurus on the road earlier that morning on the way to the theater and remarked how I hadn't seen one since the one Rachel drove in Batman Begins.

 

[CapedCrusader14]

Well that's a neat thing to notice. Nolan was probably unaware of it though.

 

[Riddle_Me_This]

nolan was unaware that Rachel's car was shown during a key scene in his final batman movie? i hope you were being sarcastic.

I noticed the taurus upon my first viewing. What struck me on my second viewing was the symbolism and foreshadowing of said scene. Bruce's way out was Rachel. He put her on a pedestal as his only hope for a happy life. In his mind, once she was gone, so was his chance at a happy life. He sees no way out of his situation. In the scene, he is quickly surrounded by the police and it seems there is no escape until he sees the truck with her car on it. Its a symbol to show that he still has a chance to live a normal life, that his way out is still there. He of course uses this to escape in dramatic fashion and in the end finally heeds her words from TDK: "Bruce don't make me your only hope for a normal life."

After my third viewing i noticed that the first two times Bruce returns as Batman, it is preceded by Blake pushing him to do so. "The training is nothing!! (Attacks you with sword) The will is everything."

 

[VenomShock]

Here's a couple of new ones:

1. Lucius' calling Bruce's mind "Better" being a reference to Begins.

2. At the football field, Bane asks Pavel "Who is capable of disarming such a device?" and kills him as if to tell everyone that the only human capable of rendering harmless has been killed (which we know is untrue).

I originally thought he'd said "And who is capable of designing such a device?" so that the "only me" repetition was Bane being mockingly cruel again and making sure the world would remember Pavel's name as that of the monster who created the bomb that destroyed Gotham.

Really? That is the biggest over analyzation of a stunt in an action sequence that I've ever seen.

It's a Ford Taurus, which happens to be Rachel's car. And? Since when is it meant to symbolize how he put her on a pedestal? It's a car on a truck which he jumps to get away from the police.

I feel like I just walked into an English class. And no I'm not being sarcastic at all.

 

[Riddle_Me_This]

The car symbolizes a way out not that he put her on a pedestal.

 

[CapedCrusader14]

The car symbolizes a way out not that he put her on a pedestal.

Or it's not symbolism at all? It's a convieniently placed truck with a Ford Taurus on it for Batman to escape from the police. Simple as that. View it how you wish though, film is open to interpretation for a reason,

 

[Fudgie]

A Rachel sketch on the piano in Wayne Manor.

 

[Riddle_Me_This]

Do you really think its coincidence they used the same model car?

 

[CapedCrusader14]

Do you really think its coincidence they used the same model car?

It could be yes. Or Nolan maybe put it there as a little nod to the fans who would notice.

I think could be a symbolism, thinking Bruce returns to the mansion minutes later and Alfred tells the truth to him. I didn't noticed that before but I think is just a coincidence.
