The Dark Knight Rises You Have My Permission To Lounge - Part 8

[Greens]

To be fair, Gough and especially Caine had much more to work with. I want to see Irons in the solo Batfleck movie.

 

[Brother Jack]

Irons looks really young next to Affleck. Maybe it's just me but I find it weird to see Alfred without a head of white hair. It diminishes the paternal, grandfatherly vibe that I'm used to.

 

[Kane52630]

I know i'll get sh** for this, but Sean Pertwee has been pretty decent as Alfred.

 

[shauner111]

Gotham doesn't exist.

Irons' Alfred feels more like the uncle vibe that Morgan Freeman had as Lucius Fox.

 

[Kane52630]

 

[shauner111]

The kid has no subtlety and I can't understand half of what Alfred is saying. So is the show just doing a bad version of Batman Begins? Cuz it looks like it from that clip.

He's more of an elder brother than a father figure. I likes it.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

One of my favourites.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

And Alan Napier.

This one is very hard to beat.

 

[Kreem Pi]

The best irons scene is him chopping trees in the woods. Sturdiest Alfred ever.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

That moment is so important it eclipses Tony and Steve's moment chopping wood.
I actually admire this take on Alfred, he wasn't "You're nuts for going out in costume and placing yourself in danger" (which is not wrong), instead he was "You're nuts for wanting to kill that stone faced alien guy who made his species closer to extinction by protecting this planet from their invasion, by causing collateral damage in their fight."

What I said right now made me think that Man of Steel might be even more flawed than I stated in my commentary on that movie last year when I came to the conclusion that it's an average movie.
BvS sticks out as a sore thumb someone tries to treat by taking a $#%^ on it.

 

[shauner111]

Yet he helps Batman and turns a blind eye to the whole murdering Superman fiasco.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Martha fixed everything.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Kevin Conroy reads iconic THE DARK KNIGHT closing speech.

 

[Kane52630]

Kevin Conroy reads iconic THE DARK KNIGHT closing speech.

 

[shauner111]

That was cool. Bale was still better, I like how Bale slowly drops his voice into somewhat of a whisper. Conroy always stays the same with that stern tone. Bale brings more of a dynamic.

 

[The Joker]

That was awesome. That's both Conroy and Hamill who have done lines from TDK. Hamill did the why so serious line.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Is that Rob Paulson reading James Gordon sr.'s lines?

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Indeed it is.

 

[Kreem Pi]

Now I want him to do Batfleck's opening monologue. Maybe he can make it sound less *********ory and faux-deep.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

"Blue is blue, the sun sends rays, what's fallen is down, and bull$#%^ smells bad"

This might be my first time noticing the watermark on the upperright corner

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

He just said it was a cold reading... Bale sat with these lines for many months and was guided by Nolan. Conroy was given two seconds and no direction.

The point was not to compare the two, rather it was to acknowledge a great piece of writing and to hear it in Conroy's now classic voice.

 

[shauner111]

I still like Bale more.

Don't pretend that Conroy would have delivered something drastically different. And cold reading? That dialogue has been around and said over and over since 2008. It's not like he's reading it for the first time.

 

[Osiris-Rex]

I know i'll get sh** for this, but Sean Pertwee has been pretty decent as Alfred.

I love how kick-ass Alfred is on Gotham. But then again this is a much younger Alfred. By the time Alfred is shown in the movies he has become old and frail.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

First time I've seen him reading it. Who knows how familiar he is with it at all? In fact, you can see a slight look of confusion during the ''I killed those people'' section.

It's not about the comparison. It's like handing Bale this scene...:

...cold in an interview setting and asking him to deliver it with all the pathos and pain that Conroy did (in voiceover).
