Batman getting his back broken didn't wow you? I was like :eek:TDK is a good film but not as good as TDK.

But as another user pointed out. Are Warner Brothers really going to go in a new direction? Knowing Nolan's "reality based" version has done so much money?
And that he had laid the groundwork?
But then again, if a justice league movie does happen. Superman will be in the same world. So ... guess that opens up every batman character in the universe too.0 -

At the start of The Dark Night Batman bends the barrel of a machine gun with one hand.
He doesn't though. This is machine assisted, almost like a pneumatic device in the suit similar to the jaws of life that people use to cut people out of cars. We know this by the distinctive machine like "whuurrr" sound as he bends it. You will notice 30 seconds later he also cuts open a van with his hand and you can hear the same "whuurrr". It's just gadgets.
I might seem to be geeking out over that but the whole "He bent a gun with his hand!1!" thing really annoys me because so many people say it and it's obvious it was just a machine.
He is just a man in a suit. The seemingly supernatural stuff he does is just the technology, like the brace on his leg in this movie.Midway through the film both him and Rachel fall from the penthouse of a sky scraper and survive.
He has his cape to slow his descent. He does the same thing in this movie during the Bane fight where Bane throws him off the gangway and he slows himself with his cape. It's in the side of the shot as Bane jumps down but it's there and was a nice touch.In BB we had the magic steam bomb.
It was a microwave emitter. They actually exist in real life. I have no idea if they can vapourize water but there is lot's of unpleasant stuff that can do.....like melt brains
The american military has several.
Yes, it's over the top but all the stuff makes sense within the universe itself. Suspension of disbelief is easy when it makes sense within the movie. Nothing ever happens that can't be explained, even if it is implausible.0 -
I think WB, while forever grateful to Nolan, can see big potential for a reboot. As long as they don't cause a disaster of B&R proportions, then they could have an even bigger cash cow on their hands. I'm expecting the reboot to be flashier and a little more fantastical, while not forgetting the basics that Nolan created.B.A._Baracus wrote: »Nervous Wreck wrote: »Batman is being rebooted completely.

Blake lost his parents to crime, leaving him an orphan with a similar angry outlook on the world that Bruce had in Begins. Blake claims in a meeting with Bruce that he recognised that anger in Bruce's face when Bruce visited the orphanage Blake was in when he was younger. Blake claimed to put 2+2 together and assumed Bruce was Batman. So nothing definite but a good guess.OMARS_COMING_ wrote: »How did the cop (Robin) know Bruce was Batman?OMARS_COMING_ wrote: »How does he get back and into Gotham after he escapes from the prison?
This isn't explained, however he is Batman and trained in the art of deception and illusions so it's safe to say he wouldn't have any issue sneaking into the city.OMARS_COMING_ wrote: »Why didnt Alfred just tell Bruce about the Letter Racheal wrote explaining she wanted Harvey over him,instead of leaving him become a forever alone for 8 years?
He does, in the film, but perhaps a little too late.OMARS_COMING_ wrote: »Where did bane and his minions get the motorcycles when they were in the stock exchange,i cant remember this part,did they ride in on bikes?
They didn't ride in on bikes, but a number of the mercenaries are seen working in the facility before the attack so I assume they had the bikes in place before the attack. Also, Bane entered the building wearing a motorcycle helmet and used it for more than just head protectionOMARS_COMING_ wrote: »The scene where all the cops are marching up the street towards Banes army,they have weapons,bat cars with huge guns on them and the cops end up in fist fights with them,was there something wrong with their weapons,were they rigged or something?
The 'Bat' disarmed the Tumblers and a 'few' cops got gunned down when they tried to overrun the mercenary positions. There would've been more only for the necessity not to outrage audiences with hundreds of cops being gunned down I'd imagine.0 -
OMARS_COMING_ wrote: »I was outside the screen 3 times so missed a couple minutes of the movie,my own fault.
How did the cop (Robin) know Bruce was Batman?
He saw it in his eyes
How does he get back and into Gotham after he escapes from the prison?
He ran
Why didnt Alfred just tell Bruce about the Letter Racheal wrote explaining she wanted Harvey over him,instead of leaving him become a forever alone for 8 years?
He had Bruce all to himself
Where did bane and his minions get the motorcycles when they were in the stock exchange,i cant remember this part,did they ride in on bikes?
All stock exchanges have motorbikes in hold for these exact reasons
The scene where all the cops are marching up the street towards Banes army,they have weapons,bat cars with huge guns on them and the cops end up in fist fights with them,was there something wrong with their weapons,were they rigged or something?
Most of them were using blanks (ala Die Hard 2)
One thing i just need clearing up,when hes fighting Bain for the first time,at the end of the fight he throws something that causes tiny explosions,what was that? Some sort of decoy magic or something?
He had a handful of the poppers you throw on the ground that make little bangs
Thanks,it will save me going back to see the bits i missed! 0 -
