The Dark Knight Rises

[Jumping Josh]

I meant Bale, not Bane.



I should've just said Bruce.

I recommend listening with headphones, can hear absolutely everything clearly...

He says "Why didn't you just kill me?"

[Zack]

I was able to hear Bane clearly. The only line that was obviously gravelly was Batman's at the end, but I think that's what we've come to expect. I can imagine parody videos of conversation between the two now though.

Seeing what looks like the stock exchange in chaos is creepy.

[StarlightMan]

Incredible trailer. Just wow.

People complaining about Bane is beyond a joke now. He is clearly audible in all trailers; this whole thing stemmed from the prologue, where you couldn't hear his voice over the roaring screams of a plummeting aircraft. Then they hear him in the trailer and say, "Oh, they fixed his voice!", or whinge that it's too different now. Unbelievable.

There will be further complaints after the movie is out, because people won't hear him over the crunch of greasy popcorn they shovel into their gobs.

[Satsuki]

Anyone else think Bane sounds a little like Ian McKellan?

[Gekko135]

I'm seriously like the only person who just doesn't get the hype. Sure it looks like a good film... but man, people are blowing up! I just don't see it.

You do know actual people involved with the movie have said they edited the voice? It's not just something that was made up.

I feel the same way. I'm interested in Hathaway's Catwoman (if only to see if Nolan has broken his streak of dullard female characters) and how Batman's story ends, but the trailers are just completely meh.

Me neither. I mean, I fully expect it to be an awesome movie, of that I have no doubt, but this trailer just didn't make me feel it. The last trailer was better at that for me.

It's only natural that people would get this excited when your previous film was the Dark Knight.
Unfortunately that hypes gonna turn into a whole lot of criticism upon release.

[Md-Martin]

Yeah, I'm not exactly feeling the hype of this movie. Most of my complaints have been stated here: The Dark Knight felt more like a police drama than a Batman movie. It's not that TDK was bad by any means, however I think it's highly overrated aside from Ledger's acting. TDKR looks amazing too and Hathaway seems like a good fit for her role, however I'm just not excited for it at all.

Mostly because the Avengers is coming out in a couple of days so most of my hype is focused on that. Even past that I'm excited for the Amazing Spider-Man, as there is much more at stake for it. It's a fresh slate, and everything seems to be leading toward it being a great movie. It's hard to compare the hype for the final piece of a trilogy of great movies that have their own take on existing characters to new takes on characters with things that the previous movies may not have contained.

That being said don't think I'm not excited for TDKR, just I didn't freak out when the second trailer came out.

[sanji499]

Despite being critical about the ideas of TDK(not the filmaking), I thought this trailer was very good for not exploding every seconds and not spoiling the plot. This music is insanely good.

[Jumping Josh]

I feel the same way. I'm interested in Hathaway's Catwoman (if only to see if Nolan has broken his streak of dullard female characters) and how Batman's story ends, but the trailers are just completely meh.

I thought Marion Cotillard was great in Inception and thought Carrie-Anne Moss was good in Memento, but yeh, other than that female characters aren't that much of a strong suit in Nolan's movies.

Amazing music in the trailer as well, gives a very somber feeling at the start and (excuse the pun) rises as the trailer goes on, finishing with that awesome chant.

I have learned from tv tropes that the the dark knight was banned in China. Well, they pretty much ban anything and are so freaking oversensitive(brokeback mountain, Avatar). Its just a film, have a little fun.

However, I do recall the scene where Dent said something about chinese gun being bad and you should buy american. That line was indeed out of place and had nothing to do with Dent's character. When I think about it, I did not even notice Lau died when I first saw the film, he did not even scream(it sorta dehumanizes him) which made his death almost comical.

To be fair, Avatar did kill a guy.

That was kinda weird how it happened. We see him at the top of the pile of money and then Joker sets it fire, so obviously that means he dies, but there's no cutaway or reminder that he's still there. If you're not paying attention, then you'll probably miss it.

I noticed it the first time I saw it and was pretty confused as to what just happened.

You can't not scream while being set on fire.

I'm with sanji in that I totally missed it the first time I saw the movie. In fact, I didn't even realize it until I thought to myself, "Hey, whatever happened to that Lau guy," after which I had to backtrack through the movie to figure it out.

This is what is known from the person (From SHH) who was at the recent WB screening (Not very spoilery but i will tag it anyway for convenience):

Spoiler:

1) TDKR Is far superior to TDK.

2) Bane has such a strong presence that makes you almost forget the Joker even existed.

3) The film did indeed get a standing ovation.

4) Grown men came out of the viewing crying..its an absolutely emotional ending.

5) There's quite a bit of action compared to the previous films, but that it doesn't overshadow the immense heart and depth of the story.

6) Full story is told with more-than-adequate depth, development and conclusion in the WB cut.

7) He'd be shocked if WB marketed a Bane mask replica towards children, considering the purpose of the mask in the film. (When he was told about the Bane mask in the Halloween costumes he replied) "Yeah, that's awful. I mean, it's always fun to be a baddie for Halloween, but Bane? That mask is literally part of what makes him a villain. It's like including the Joker's knives with his costumes. I would say it's a wrong move."

8) With all 3 trailers you haven't seen anything. The experience is best not knowing anything; that is why Nolan is vague with everything being released.

9) Compared to the Avengers its apples and oranges. The source loved Avengers and he was blown away by TDKR. It's hard to compare, though - they're quite different . He said they're both rollercoaster rides, but TDKR is kind of like a really creaky, old coaster where you feel it could fall apart at any second (and that's a good thing...it's similar to TDK in that it builds and builds, and it's scary. The analogy works because you do end up at that safe place. But the ride itself is exciting and unpredictable.) where Avengers was more of a solid-but-exciting ride. They're nothing at all alike.

10) On July 20th fans are in for something truly special.

Wow, sounds spectacular.
Now I'm real curious about the mask...

[tatermoog]

Let the hype train commence.

If I cry at a Batman movie, I better have been punched in the nose.

[LUFFY#1 fan]

"The Dark Knight Rises is awesome!" ....meanwhile the sky is still blue.

I mean seriously, is anyone expecting this film to be a train wreck?
