The Dark Knight Rises You Have My Permission To Lounge

[Victarion]

Not that dark please.

It isn't dark - it has magic and whimsy.

 

[The Batman]

What do ya'll make of this sample of the supposed new Bat theme?

[YT]3JThPsJvEDg[/YT]

It's not as great or memorable as the Hefti/Elfman/Zimmer & Howard themes, but it's decent.

 

[Decepticonus]

Once the song is played with a particular scene it may have more impact then and resonate better, we shall wait and see.

 

[Slade W]

The theme is ok IMO, but not as good as the music from BTAS or Nolan's movies.

 

[BatLobster]

I'm gonna make one last shameless plug of my version of it I posted last week, which was based on the Comic Con music that luckily did turn out to be from the score.

I'm curious to see where Junkie's theme goes. I embellished a bit towards the end of mine. I think from what we heard it's a decent theme, but there's still room for it to develop and the full Batman suite I believe is 14 minutes long, so I'll reserve judgment.

 

[Slade W]

That sounds good Batlobster. It would work well in the 90s animated series and animated movies IMO.

Anyone seen the new airline tv spots? I like the look of Gotham. Looks real but distinctive at the same time.

Civil War also looks dope. Black Panther is badass.

Just looked it up, real interesting. It looks nice, like I want to visit Gotham now and get laid there.

 

[The Shape]

Loved both BVS spots. Civil War spot needed more than a split second of BP...

 

[AnneFan]

Good on Zimmer

Yep. I respect his decision, keeping his Batman legacy with the Nolan series.

 

[titansupes]

Only thing I could think during the CW spot was "Deshi deshi basara basara!"

Thanks Slade.

I had the same thought for sure. Only it was, "you wish this was as epic as deshi basara".

This combination still doesn't sound like a compliment to me.

Truth.

 

[The Joker]

So is this the shot of Gotham that was shown in the new TV spot;

Spoiler

If it is then it looks like a regular looking city to me much like Nolan's. The buildings are very ordinary looking, and the only stand out piece is the ACE chemicals sign. That shot could have been taken in Chicago. They haven't gone for that 'Gothic' look that has been absent for the bulk of Gotham's existence.

Exactly.

This is accurate.

[The Joker]

^ Thank you.

Apart from that one stone gargoyle, it looks like the clean cut generic type of Gotham in the comics in that shot, too. Not the dirty decaying Gothic Gotham some fans hold in such high esteem. The buildings look fresh and clean.

That's one choice I give Snyder the thumbs up for.

 

[The Shape]

Let's remember that this was also a "commercial" for Gotham, meant to highlight all the good aspects of the city and how far it's come. It's designed to make Gotham look clean and appealing. It may or at not be so clean cut when we get to see different corners of the city in the film itself, but overall, I really liked both of these BVS spots. Commercials within commercials.

I like the idea that on the surface and from afar, Gotham looks the way it does in this commercial, but on the streets and at night, you see a different side of the city.

 

[Slade W]

Personally, I prefer Gotham having a dirty look. Snyder's choice doesn't really bother me though.

 

[The Joker]

What's the night shot of the city from? Is that from a commercial, too, because it looks very much like the average city Gotham there as well. Looks like it could have been taken from Chicago or NY with an ACE chemicals sign slapped on top of a building.

Btw Shape, nice alteration to your user name.

[Greens]

A gothic Gotham doesn't make much sense when Metropolis is right across the bay.

 

[shauner111]

I think Gotham looks fantastic. They added a couple of cool things in there like the gargoyle statue and Ace Chemicals, but it looks like a great American city. Not unlike Nolans but adding a little bit extra there for the fans.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

What's ACE chemicals doing in the middle of the business district though? That's just irresponsible.
