First off, if you haven't seen this movie yet, avoid this thread at all freaking costs. I want this to be a discussion with those who have seen it.
If you haven't don't go blaming me for what your about to read you have been thoroughly warned.
Alright now that we have gotten that disclosure with.
Alright who saw it?
LOVED IT! Of course.....
I'm sure many have said this before, but man is my favorite super hero, long before this movie came out, even since I was watching Batman:TAS when I was much younger hatchling.
Points of interest:
-seriously WTF is with Bane and his voice. He looks cool and all, but why do the toughest most badass badguys have to sound like pussies. Why give him an English-gentleman's accent? He's supposed to be like a Cuban Luchador. Me and my friends absolutely LAWL'D at one point in the movie where he states "Impossible" - when batman ignites his logo in a signal fire on the bridge. My friends and I are going to be laughing for days about his accent.
-Thalia al-Ghul was forced into the plot in my opinion, it was just too convenient that she tried to finish Ra's legacy, even though she hated him for putting away Bane. In canon, she's in love with batman and adores her father. It flies in the face of the original story, but Nolan has taken many liberties with the original story anyway.
-Robin John Blake. being devout fans of the mythology behind the hero, me and my friends knew early on who the guy was intended to be. For those who didn't know, Tim Drake, aka, the third Robin or later known as "Red Robin". The name was just too similar, might as well have named him Tim Drake after all. At first I was annoyed that Joseph Gordon Levitt was even cast in the movie, but then his character described his origins and his parents in the the movie and I got real pumped about the fact that in the Nolan-Batman Universe, he was going to be Robin. All that was missing, was seeing him don Batman's suit, spray it red and run around with a Bo-staff. I would seriously die in orgasmic fanboy-dom if they did a spinoff with him as Robin. He seriously looks like he pull a legit Robin. And Wayne did him give all the tools needed to get started at the end of the movie.
-"The Bat" - or the Bat-Wing, was effing badass to and deserves honorable mention. As do some of the other minor characters from the universe like John(aka Roland) Daggett.
I have to say, that in the back of our minds, the recent shooting was kind of a worry, there was this one scene, where Bane and his goons infiltrate stock-market trading floor and are definitely spraying tons of rounds, and gave us that uncomfortable feeling for a second, but everything went without a hitch.
The movie was badass and a good way to close the trilogy, and I'm content to say that we no longer have to worry about hearing Christian Bale's dumbass voice when he plays as Batman. No one can top Kevin Conroy at Batman
Dark Knight Rises (Spoilter Alerts) Avoid This thread if you haven't seen it.
