The Dark Knight Rises *Spoiler Thread*

I don't think that makes sense in light of Lucious finding out the autopilot was fixed months prior.

It would if they had the same dealer :

My inner comic book nerd finds it humorous that nonfans do not know of Bruce Wayne's romantic relationships with Talia al ghul and Selina Kyle.

So true

Good point, for some reason I thought they disabled the auto-pilot. If what you said is true then I'm definitely on my own but making my way back toward the rest of you.

Earlier in the movie they said the auto pilot was broken, so that was what we knew. Fox said something like he didn't have time to fix it, but Bruce could fix it. At that point, that was all we heard.

Then, after we presumed Batman to have sacrificed himself, the engineer or whomever told Fox that the auto pilot had been fixed 6 months earlier, and the change log said Bruce Wayne is the one who fixed it. That's when we realize he wasn't actually in there with the bomb.

Ahh, I completely missed that. Thanks!

just watched it.

am i the only one who thought the ending where they show bruce wayne could be seen as alfred just seeing things? he did say earlier while bruce wayne was gone training he would go there and see him there with a family, yet it wasn't him. i thought nolan left it up in the air and it could go both ways, he lived or died.

I thought the same thing.......

Could be that Alfred was on roofies and hallucinating when he saw Wayne.

Maybe Alan from The Hangover served his drink? :laugh2:

This is it! The episode we’ve been waiting to record since we started the MMM Podcast is finally here, as The Lady & The Gentlemen roundtable “The Dark Knight Rises.” Expectations have been stratospheric ever since Christopher Nolan promised to deliver an ending to “The Dark Knight Trilogy.” Now it’s time to discuss whether or not the final installment really served as a fitting end to Bruce Wayne’s legendary story.

This episode is dedicated to all those affected by the tragedy that unfolded in Aurora, Colorado.

I found out from the games. Never read the comic books.

I'm sorry, but the villain in this movie looks cheesy as hell. Looks ******** to me.

Call me crazy, but Bane > Joker.

Call me crazy, but Bane > Joker.

I agree with you and I don't just mean the character in general. I mean the acting by Tom Hardy.

 

[StevenOtero]

Both Hardy and Ledger did masterful jobs, I have to give Ledger the nod over Hardy just due to the fact that you couldn't even recognize him. He transformed into the Joker. ...as did Hardy w/ Bane.

You just can't compare Bane and Joker. They are two different characters by far.

Bane isn't Joker and that's a good thing!

Joker isn't Bane and that's a good thing too

Gonna go see it for a 3rd time tonight, woooo!!!

 

[a_minimalist]

my cousin made a good point the other day how if heath ledger didn't the joker probably would have had a large part in rises. it's a shame he did. how awesome would it have been to see joker AND bane.

I don't think he would have had a "large" part in the third movie. I could easily see him being the judge instead of Scarecrow though.

I don't think it would have been as much fun for Nolan to basically do the same movie again for the finale.

I was just annoyed that there was no joker reference at all, it didn't make sense for the story that everyone would have just completely forgotten about him.

Not as big as bane but definitely much bigger than scarecrow especially with how much people fell in love with the performance. It's silly to debate though since we'll never know.

I was looking for the Joker reference and was slightly disappointed I didn't hear anything about him. Easy to get over though, but I hear you.

 

[StevenOtero]

Well, if you were following the news around the movie...you would have known that Nolan himself came out and said there would be no reference to the Joker.

Saw it for the 3rd time tonight, what a great film.

The haters can hate all they want, I could care less. Art is subjective.

Gonna go see it for the second time tommorow with my big brother and his girlfriend who haven't seen it yet. Also gonna see Spiderman again.
