IT DESERVES ITS OWN THREAD

Bane was scary. Dirty Occupy Bane Street followers were too realistic.
Fantastic movie, best one of the year. Batman sacrificed himself to save us all!
Michael Caine deserves the Oscar.
Bruce threw the rope down when he got to the top of the prison well. Dirty Talia left them all to rot.
Anne Hathaway was a great Catowoman
The ending made me happy.

What movie did you watch?

I remember seeing something about Talia being in the film, but I'm glad I forgot during the movie even though the reveal was kind of soft. My favorite scene was watching Bane break the bat. I knew what was about to happen, and that just made it more intense.

DAMN SON.

Just saw it. Haven't taken it all in yet. Man, I didn't notice how good-looking that Talia actress was in Inception (maybe 'cause she was a crazy lady). I couldn't believe how well Hathaway pulled off Catwoman. The ending made me smile. Bane was a great villain. Only parts that bugged me were Bruce's firing Alfred (WTF, dude? Get over it) and the very slow buildup to Bane's police state.

UncleBob · « **Reply #4 on:** July 21, 2012, 09:01:29 PM »

Bruce didn't fire Alfred. Alfred quit.

This happens about every three issues in the comics.

The prison that Bruce Wayne had to escape from was the Lazarus pit in a metephorical sense.

Come on UncleBob, there was a definite Christ allegory. Savior Batman sacrifices himself for the sins of Gotham (all of Humanity)

Sure, you say he was alive at the end, but Batman was sacrificed. His money, His manor, His secret identity were all given up for Gotham. Batman was no more. Of course Robin on the other hand...

UncleBob · « **Reply #7 on:** July 22, 2012, 01:55:37 AM »

He had already lost all of his money. He still has his secret identity. Now he has a third one. There's nothing stopping Batman from coming back if needed (The look on Gordon's face tells me he wasn't the one that replaced the Bat signal...)

Kytim89 · « **Reply #8 on:** July 22, 2012, 02:19:18 AM »

I actually thought there was going to be a chance where Nolan was going to end the Batman series and replace it with a Nightwing movie series that feature JGL as Nightwing in his own spin-off series against his own villians.

Oblivion · « **Reply #9 on:** July 22, 2012, 02:35:27 AM »

Nolan won't do that, but someone else might take up the helm.

Kytim89 · « **Reply #10 on:** July 22, 2012, 03:03:39 AM »

Bane's voice was a whole better than I thought it would be based on the trailers. Why did Bane inject that guy's blood into that corpse on the plane?

Oblivion · « **Reply #11 on:** July 22, 2012, 03:14:39 AM »

Because when the plane crashed and they found the body, they would think it was the scientists body. I thought they made that pretty clear?

What about dental records?

Oblivion · « **Reply #13 on:** July 22, 2012, 03:37:27 AM »

I'm assuming that's a plot hole or something, because Bane clearly stated that the world thought that scientist was dead from the plane crash.

It's possible to know the identity of someone even if the body is burned to a crisp.

Hey, don't look at me, I'm just the messenger. Blame Nolan.

That pit had nothing to do with the Lazarus Pit. It was more like this: http://batman.wikia.com/wiki/Pe%C3%B1a_Duro

And I don't see why people think Blake would become Robin or Nightwing. He obviously will take up the Bat mantle. Throughout the entire trilogy, Wayne wants to make the Batman a symbol/legend and wishes for someone else to take over his role (e.g. Harvey Dent). It just turned out Blake could do it in a more literal sense.

UncleBob · « **Reply #17 on:** July 22, 2012, 11:57:44 AM »

'meh. It would all depend on how the writers/studio wants to take the film.

I could easily see a story where Blake doesn't think he's worthy of being The Batman, so he wears a different costume as to not tarnish Wayne's memory.

This is the end of the trilogy, and Warner is gearing up their reboot of the series. It doesn't matter how the film ended. You can argue that Talia will survive and the son of Batman will be next. But this particular Batman universe is dead - time to move on.

As for dental records, that would be assuming the bodies weren't splattered by the impact, or exploded by the heat of the fire. What is a small hole though, is not finding the wings and engines among the wreckage. Being a remote country, and a covert operation, not much scrutiny would be put on the plane.

I deny the Christ allegory. Christ was put up to public suffering and execution. He also wanted to serve as an example of standing up for your convictions. Batman deliberately put himself in harms way to save a group of people, but he wasn't teaching the people anything in the process, and it wasn't a public execution. His journey was very personal, and his whole motif is rather selfish, as pointed out many times by Alfred.

This was a great film, and is a terrific ending to the storyline. I do wish it would continue, and have serious doubts about the next series of movies.

The little tease of Man of Steel before the movie made me hopeful, though still a bit reserved until more is known.

The fact that Superman was wearing a blue onesie in the trailer is going to really bug me.

Has anything official been announced regarding the next Batman movie?

Let's be honest - the Nolan-trilogy made WB a LOT of money. Probably more than any superhero movie/series ever has. If they decide to continue the story, with or without Nolan and/or Bale, I wouldn't be surprised.

With that said, I forsee them taking the Avengers approach to a Justice League movie... and that just wouldn't work with the Nolan films... At least, not with Rises... So I seriously expect a reboot.

It's all about the money bags for them.

I think I'll just wait until I can watch this movie in the safety of my own home.

Every year, more people die in their own homes than in theaters.

Yeah, maybe the same here. I already know I'm going to buy the BluRay to complete the trilogy and I dislike seeing movies in the theaters these days, so I might as well just wait a few months and see it then.

Its not so much dying as dying horrifically that worries me.

Anyway, I get your point and I agree the chances of a similar attack in the near future are slim (but maybe higher than we think though, due to the copycat effect), but regardless I think sitting in a movie theater and thinking about that attack would probably adversely effect my enjoyment of the movie. So I think that's reason enough to just wait.
