Re: The Dark Knight Rises
Sounds like they're going to cure Batman of his pain in this one which will lead him to cease being Batman. What is Batman without the constant obsession and anger of the night when his parents were murdered? If Batman were to be cured psychologically, that would be bad for Gotham City since he's the only one that can protect it.
A Batman without pain and brooding is either a George Clooney/Adam West Batman or not Batman at all.

Which is why once he is cured of his pain, he will cease to be Batman - if that's the way they go

Re: The Dark Knight Rises
DiFabio, if this movie turns out to be a critical failure I promise to buy you a "I believe in Nam" T-shirt
And void will buy you a pair of Kato 1/6 socks
This movie will be even better than BB and TDK.....
There, I said it.
Please be gentle

Re: The Dark Knight Rises
You're selfish!
We know Nolan is ending his series and "finishing Bruce Wayne's story".
Yeah sure TDKR ending with Batman on a rooftop looking at the batsignal continuing to be Batman and fight crazy people forever seems to be a very popular thought that gets people fapping, but these aren't the comics. It's not going to go one forever and WB is going to "re-invent" Batman anyways and possibly set up a Justice League movie so they can be as cool as Marvel Studios.
I personally can't wait to see how Nolan finishes the story. If it works in the context of the films, it should work for me. This could very well be one of the great film trilogies.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises
I don't think it would devalue the character for Nolan to bring closure to Batman. Yes, the common thing is that Bruce is Batman til death, but I think it's safe to treat each unique set of movies or shows as its own Batman, they're clearly never the exact same guy, and I think that, while it wouldn't be fitting for THE Batman to call it quits ever, I do think it would fit and make sense in Nolan's story.
Nolan's Wayne was lost and grief stricken, searching the world over for a way to deal with his loss since he was robbed of revenge, he found a path, and part of that path was to clean things up and inspire Gotham to turn itself around as a city and not just one lone person doing everything, so if he finds his peace and the city turns around, Nolan's Wayne would feel he achieved everything he set out to do as Batman.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises
Anyone talking abut the misunderstanding of the Batman character misunderstands life. It's a ____ing fictional character that anyone at anytime can do whatever the ____ they want to with it. If DC wants to come out and say Batman's story was all a dream and his father is Superman and his mother is a crack whore; well guess what, it doesn't change anything about the history we've heard already, it's just another story. They're all individual stories with someone's slant and they can be whatever the ____ they want to be.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises
The inconsistency of storylines is actually the reason I like comic-book based movies and tv shows but not comics themselves, I tried a few comics and it seems like the writers will just take things all over the place, wherever they want. Some of the things done with the Hulk baffle me.
I do believe each character has certain traits to keep or you may as well not be telling their story, but movies and tv are no different from the comic book writers, each one giving their own twist and doing things that don't sync with the others.
Adam West, Burton, Batman TAS, Schumacher, Nolan, they've all put Batman in different worlds with different rules, they've kept true to certain fundamentals but they've all had unique visions from one another.
I've said it before, I feel Nolan's approach is making good movies, not thinking about the fact he's making a comic book film, so a solid trilogy with a beginning and an end to a character's story is fitting for his film style, he just happens to be dropping Batman characters into that.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises
I've read some great Batman stories where the only reason they were Batman stories is because they said Batman on the front and the guy in the book had on an outfit. I would like my films to be inspired by a source not crippled by it.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises
Variety is nice, I like having options. I love Nolan's Batman films for their storytelling, they really draw me in and keep me involved from beginning to end. I love Burton's, particularly '89, for their visual qualities, the cinematogaphy really speaks to my tastes.
And regarding staying true to Batman, there are those who think he needs to show up fighting crim in tights basically, not wearing armor like the film Batmans. I understand that a lot of the comics are truly just a guy in a costume, nothing protective on, but in a live action world where machine guns and other powerful weapons are used against him, I just don't think it would ever seem feasible that a man like that could survive without armor.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises
Probably never, other than on a new copy of BB or TDK on Blu-Ray, I don't believe they ever posted the TDK one officially, only bootlegs online and the BR of Begins had it.
