From imdb

The Gotham Stock Exchange scene is brilliant. It is done in the same style as the party crashing scene with the Joker, there is that same eery silence from the gatecrashing scene as Bane walks in and takes hold of the floor. That's all I can say, film is great. I've got a gag on me.

Tom Hardy steals the show as Bane, Bane is very charismatic, comes across as an intellectual snob which clashes with his appearance but I don't think he'll get a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nod as his character isn't as iconic as Ledger's Joker but he really, really should. When Hardy comes onto the screen, you cannot take your eyes off of him. He/Bane has a marvelous screen presence. Even some of the information I posted in the Bane thread is not entirely accurate after seeing the movie.

There was a standing ovation after the film finished and I don't think a dry eye in the place either.

If I had to say anything now, I don't think it would be fair as I am still gushing over the movie but I do think it's better than The Dark Knight for a couple of reasons, Batman/Bruce feels more fleshed out and has a complete arc to end his story and he isn't just playing second fiddle to the villain like he was in The Dark Knight plus the story has an epic feel to it especially when the "revolution" kicks off. Hathaway's performance felt like a throwback to the those actresses of Hollywood's golden years and she'll probably be the one to get Academy recognition. We had to hand in all our electronic devices (which we collected at the end) and we signed non-disclosure agreements.

I recieved one of the books today for the Dark knight rises-
as we know gotham becomes a prospering safe city, so batman retires, bane turns up, police are helpless, bane is too strong and smart for them. to mke a statement he kidnaps Gordon, holds him captive in the sewers, where he and his men hideout. Bane gets distracted and Gordon escapes (barely) he's found by the police. they take him to hospital. In his hospital room Batman sneaks in, through the window, Gordon tells him he has to come back, gotham needs him. Batman forms a plan (in the batcave) to take down Bane. Batman searches the sewers, Finally finding bane discussing his plans with his men. Finally banes men leave, Batman attacks, banes too strong though overpowers him, Bane beats batman and leaves him.

Does ‘Dark Knight Rises’ Have Robin After All?



I was on the phone with a friend of mine yesterday and he asked if ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ would be any good. I told him that at this point, all I knew for sure about*Christopher*Nolan’s Bat Trilogy-capper was that Catwoman and Bane were in it, there is a flying Bat Vehicle and it’s 2 hours and 45 minutes long.

Outside of that, I think I’ve been in the speculation echo chamber too long to be motivated to find out what’s in ‘Rises’ before I see ‘Rises.’ This is going to be Christopher Nolan’s last Batman movie, but there will be other Batman movies regardless, much like there will be more comic book movies regardless. If I learned anything from ‘The Dark Knight’ and it’s long and dramatic press-coverage arc from viral campaign to the death of Heath Ledger, it’s that – after I’d seen the movie – I retroactively realized I didn’t need any of it. ‘The Dark Knight’ was solid on it’s own terms. Did I enjoy running around Manhattan on a scavenger hunt for a trailer reveal? Sure, but that had nothing to do with the movie. There was stuff in the movie and there was stuff not in the movie.



So despite everyone denying Robin’s involvement up and down, is Robin in the movie? Forbes (taking a break from reporting on K.Stew’s fortune) says yes:

And that’s not all Forbes manages to pull out of that chalk symbol. Click HERE to see what happens when you turn it – UPSIDE DOWN!

I told my friend on the phone that the only thing I was doing to get excited for ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ is to re-read the Hush trade paperbacks. Hush has a whole bunch of inner-monologuing about what makes a good Robin. Grayson always saw it as boyhood adventure, which is why he outgrew it and became Nightwing, Todd always saw it as a game and that’s what got him killed, Drake wants to be a great detective and that’s what makes him the perfect counter-balance to a Batman that occasionally thinks about killing people and has to be talked down from the murderous edge.

And, hey: I bet if Muffled Bane said “Drake” it would sound like “Blake” and that’s Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s character in the movie – OMG, guys, I’m a genius.
