The Dark Knight Rises Official Thread

[Jeremy Lebens]

Figured it would be best to make an official thread for this one. Post all discussion and news on the film in here!

Could never be better than The Dark Knight. There! I said it! Come at me, nerds!

The Dark Knight was incredible sure, but I don't think it's untouchable. While Bane may not have the drawing power of the Joker, from the short clips we've seen he's outright terrifying. Not just in the "I'll destroy the city because I'm crazy" Joker sort of way (again absolutley incredible portrayal) but in a "Not only will I destroy everyone you've ever known, I'm smart enough to get away with it leaving you to deal with it" way.

I've been really pleased with all of the Bane footage.

And I don't think The Dark Knight is untouchable.

I do think that Inception is overrated, and all of Christopher Nolan's films are tied for being awesome, but none of them are as good as TDK. Assuming TDKR is at the same level of an average Nolan film (very, very good), it won't be better than TDK (amazing).

Also seriously you cannot beat Heath Ledger's Joker. I know everyone says that, but it's so true. And nice meme.

ALL of Nolan's films are tied for being awesome? Including Insomnia?! What a bore!

I understand why everyone considers The Dark Knight the bible for making a comic book movie these days, but I think The Dark Knight Rises just might be able to top it. I actually prefer Batman Begins to TDK in terms of watchability and enjoyment.

BB over TDK?! Boy you cray cray. But yeah, I guess I shouldn't have lumped all of his films together. I suppose I meant BB, The Prestige and Memento, which I consider to be excellent films but not as good as TDK.

I know that TDK is a better overall film than BB, but for some reason I can watch BB any day of the week while I can't say the same for TDK. I've only seen Memento once and I wasn't all that impressed. Perhaps another viewing is needed?

I'm looking forward to the Dark Knight Rises a lot, I think now because of all the hype it has so much to live up to that I can imagine it getting slaughtered when it's released, people are expecting so much. That's why I'm trying to avoid all the spoilers, all the on set images, all the leaks and the trailers. Which isn't easy.

And so the Bane parodies begin.

I still don't have a problem understanding his voice in the prologue or trailer.
