- The Dark Knight Rises (Christopher Nolan, 2012) (SPOILERS) (http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=1551841)

There were only a few parts of the movie I didn't like:

-The transport sequence where the passenger of the armored car kept saying stupid one liners. This should have been almost silent similar to the big show down in Heat.

-the entire bat bike. With those tires, the handling would be horrid. Then the part where he face plants the wall followed by the clunkiest cgi.

dent seriously didn't know that nurse was the joker until he removed his mask? I guess the cheek, eye and forehead make up doesn't raise a red flag.

The funniest part was easily when Batman said "let her go". The look on jokers face looked like heath was surprised almost like that line as ad libbed.

I swear to God, I disagree with almost 100% of what you say ever.

I loved LotR, but I do not have high hopes for the Hobbit. Even if it's good, there's no way in Hell it tops TDKR.

That poster is a moron.

The boat scene is probably the worst. The black inmate tossing the detonator is the icing on the cake.

Totally agreed. At that point in the movie it's just total overkill and completely unnecessary.

There are plenty more things wrong with The Dark Knight.

1. What happens at the party after Batman saves Rachel?
2. How is Batman taking the blame for Harvey Dent's death a good solution? Why not just blame the Joker, and allow Gotham to retain their symbol of the heroic Batman?
3. The final showdown with Two-Face is anticlimactic after the finale with the Joker.
4. What is the point of being provocative and political in using private citizens' cell phones to track the Joker, only to have it destroyed and the plot strand dropped?
5. The Joker is a nihilist, and is supposed to stand in for terrorism. Terrorists are motivated by ideology, the opposite of nihilism.
6. Why did Rachel leave Bruce Wayne to be in a relationship where there is no human chemistry?
7. Why does Bruce Wayne use the Clint Eastwood voice when he is talking to people who know he is Batman?

I always thought this was odd too

The voice isn't just about disguising the fact that he's Bruce Wayne. When he puts on the Batsuit, he becomes someone else. It doesn't matter who he's talking to - the voice is a part of his persona.

I've never thought of that before. What is the explanation for it?

EDIT: Okay, I just figured it out. It wouldn't exactly be a noble thing to do.

Interview with Tom Hardy.

Gotham needs Dent to be their hero right now, and for that to happen his crimes must be transferred to someone else. But they cannot just blame any old person for it (like the Joker), since (a) that would require the justice system intentionally charging someone for crimes they didn't commit, and (b) the person would insist on a trial and evidence of the truth would eventually come out.

Batman, however, can choose to take the blame, and refuse to reveal evidence that would be in his favor. More importantly, however, there is a very direct relationship between the city needing (for now) to not only embrace Dent but to also REJECT Batman. They must take the symbolic step of saying, "We don't need that kind of outlaw justice, we need to do this ourselves through the law and elected officials," as a progression toward normalcy for Gotham. Their faith in Dent is really faith in themselves and in their own future. For now, that faith is just getting to its feet, it's wobbly and uncertain, it's taking baby steps. So it needs sure footing and a smooth path, and that means for now it needs to let go of Batman's hand to gain confidence and stand on its own. That means Batman needs to be the one taking on the blame for the crimes, not Dent and not the Joker.

i hate it that i'm lurking this thread even though i said i won't be back until after the 21st.

While I'm on board with a lot of the complaints about The Dark Knight, namely the second half, I've never understood the gripe with Bale's Batman voice. Would you all he rather played himself in a batsuit, a la George Clooney?
