The Dark Knight Rises You Have My Permission To Lounge - Part 7

I've said this before, but I definitely had my problem with it in the first 20 minutes or so of the movie, where it seemed like the writers were just excited about getting to use it. After that I think it levelled out well.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

but not sure I needed to hear F-bombs flying out of Xavier's mouth too.

Me and the audience I watched it with found it hilarious. He actually reminded me of my grandpa who would similarly fly off into curse filled ramblings in his later years. Maybe that's why it didn't seem out of place to me.

And to be clear, I don't want Batman to be a potty mouth. But criminals and goons should be dropping f bombs. Maybe Gordon too, given the stress of his job.

What about when he was beating the **** out of the car? Or the revelation that Laura could talk, immediately followed by him verbally cursing her out for a minute?

Yeah, it was still there obviously, but it didn't feel as in your face as the opening scenes.

I think an R Batman could be done well, but it's a very tricky tightrope to walk and I'm not confident in WB/DC's ability to do it. Because it could very easily become a crutch to shove gore, swearing, etc. in there unnecessarily. And I think you run into certain problems when you make Gotham that dark. You have to scale Batman to fit that darkness, otherwise he comes across as completely inept and, at worst, complicit. You have to practically make him a murderer just to be able to contend with a Joker who regularly kills people by the hundred. There's obviously been a lot of great stories that have done that kind of darkness well, and some of them would probably have to be R to be a movie, but it's kind of overplayed. We just had a Batman that went too dark for me, and that was (technically) PG-13. Batman is a very malleable character but he isn't inherently as violent and generally R-rated as Wolverine is.

But Charles was acting out of character and not the same anymore. They all seemed some s**t go down in their lifetime. They just don't give a F anymore. That's why it even worked for Charles.

 

[StarLord]

Love one of the replies to Empire on the news of Vaughn possibly being up for MoS2.

Inject some colour please. Bring the hero to superman. Not the depressed psycho we have gotten.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

Charles resembles any old family member who has kinda lost it up there and just fires off anything on their mind.

Anyone with older relatives can relate.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

So apparently WB wants Matthew Vaughn to direct MOS 2.

Reeves and Vaughn could possibly turn it all around. How hilarious that would be.

Imagine if they snag Gibson as well. At least one of those movies HAS to be good.

Ooooohhh, gimme gimme gimme.
I'd love to see them have control, and deliver the best work they can usually deliver.

I wouldn't call that a one to one comparison.

 

[shauner111]

I would.

Aw I thought this was another voted list. Still the guy has good taste. A lot of great choices there. His #1 obviously being the best.

There is a March Madness tournament of movie villains on Collider this month. That's where people will vote. The round 1A already happened (The Joker wasn't there yet).

[shauner111]

LMFAO did you guys hear who's supposed to write the new Suicide Squad?

 

[Greens]

Yeah...

 

[I Am The Knight]

Who?

 

[Greens]

The guy who wrote the last Jack Ryan film and The Legend of Tarzan.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Adam Cozad?
It doesn't have to end badly, he could perform like David Goyer was allowed for Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.

Zimmer on scoring BvS and TDKT:

I spent months trying to come up with something for Ben. The Batman that I know and the one I learned is the one that Christian did, and Ben plays it differently. And I can’t quite shake that off. For me, the Christian Bale character was always completely unresolved. It was always about that moment at the beginning of the first movie, where he sees his parents getting killed. It was basically arrested development,” Zimmer said. “The Ben character is more middle-aged, he seems to be grumpy as hell but I didn’t feel the pain that I felt in Christian’s performance. And it was that pain that made be interested.

 

[The Joker]

I am totally on board with Zimmer there about their performances.

 

[shauner111]

I love you Hans.

 

[Slade W]

The first I watched BVS, while disliking the characterisation, I though the acting from Affleck was good. The second time I watched it, I thought he was just ok (not deserving of a Razzie though). Bales Batman is a much more engaging character IMO.

Zimmer on scoring BvS and TDKT:

Some DCEU fans are really salty about this.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

if there wasn't pain then, there sure is now. Sad Affleck memes, the personal problems, The Batman directorial drama

No one knows what its like to be The (DCEU) Batman. No one.
