Yeah, I'm convinced Nolan didn't give a fukk about the mythos and was intent on creating his own hyper-realistic universe and making a statement about being a hero rather than making a movie about Batman.
Wait a minute, so you're telling me that a 55 year old bulky person can still jump and move like an acrobat, kick ass like he's never lost a step, AND go toe to toe with Superman? That's the kind of stupid plot-shielded nonsense Batman has been catered with and yet people want to hate on Nolan for bringing a more humanized Batman? Comic nerds kill me sometimes.
AND, it's well known Nolan used The Dark Knight Returns as insipration for 'Rises:
- Elements of The Dark Knight Returns appear in the film The Dark Knight Rises, particularly the central concept of Batman returning to Gotham City after a long absence. Other elements include Bruce Wayne becoming a recluse after retiring from being Batman, Batman's first public reappearance during a high-speed car chase between police and criminals, and a remark by an observing veteran policeman to his young partner ("You are in for a show tonight, son."). Wayne uses a mechanical brace to enhance his out-of-practice body. In The Dark Knight Rises, he uses a leg brace to support and strengthen an injured knee, whereas originally Wayne used a mechanical arm brace. The film also involves Batman faking his own death, and subsequently passing his mantle onto a handpicked successor.
So do we shyt on Nolan or Frank Miller?
