kronicfeld: To quote the cameraman, "Aw yeeah."

Sounded more like "Aw yeesh"

Why isn't the trailer officially released online already? Why does anyone have to bootleg a COMMERCIAL?

The ol' Penn Central cleaned up nice.

Christ. The film industry just needs to give Christopher Nolan all their money. Freakin goosebumps.

Bane looks stupid and Hathaway is no Catwoman. It's become abundantly clear to anyone but the most BWAUM-headed Nolan-phile that this is going to be an absolute disaster, the likes of which will make Spiderman 3 look like Godfather 2. And killing off Wayne like Nolan's going to do isn't bold, it's predictable and lazy.

Besides Bane's awful voice this is going to be badass.

Is this seriously what the story is supposed to be??? Or, is it going to be along the line of the comic where Bane just beats the hell out of him and breaks his back, laying him up for a while (not a real comic fan, but know there's an issue where this happened because I have the first edition 'Breaking of Batman' in hard plastic, I got it at an auction) but what mentality would there be behind killing off such a money-maker of a movie series - even the older "corny" batman movies were hits. (Watched the older ones, ENJOY the newer ones)

Confabulat: TheMega: Is this seriously what the story is supposed to be???

No one knows, that guy is just your standard internet loser who knows everything about a movie he's not seen, but read some rumors about online, so he wants to record his vocal disgust and hatred of everything about it so he can be cool when the movie actually does come out, so he can whine "I told you sooo, oooo! I am COOL!"

You know that guy. He's here a year before every big movie comes out to tell everyone why it sucks.

You better stop liking what he doesn't like, or else...

TheSignPost: Caine was a great choice for Alfred.

Substitute "Alfred" with "any role he has every played" and you'd be more accurate. And he's only getting better with age.

casual disregard: To play devil's advocate, I recall when Heath Ledger was revealed to be the actor who would play the Joker, there were tons of complaints that he would be just horrible at it.

I'm not holding my breath on this one, but then I was never a big fan

He wasn't horrible, in fact he was the second best Joker, ahead of Nicholson and the others. Fark geeks are right on who the best joker is/was.

So far my only beef with is movie is the whole "The Dark Knight Rises" and "The end of the saga".

If he's rising how is it the end? It seems deliberately obtuse.

So some other actor can portray Batman, like Robert Downey Jr.

dahmers love zombie: I'm unfamiliar with the Batman graphic novels/comics, so could someone tell me why the villain has a goatse mask on?

In the comics, Bane takes a what is basically a super steroid called Venom, which buffs him up to super human levels. The venom is sent into the back of his head through tubes. He wears a luchador mask because he is from a caribbean island. I'm not sure about the movie, though. My guess is he uses the mask to inhale venom.

Confabulat:By the way, I have mocked your loser kind for a long time now, but you cats just gotta got your fury in first, just in case the movie does indeed suck. Cause then you will feel good about yourself and your imaginary friends will think you're the neatest!



So I guess I did it right?

Bruce croaks, but the Dark Knight rises again in the form of that guy from 3rd Rock From The Sun. The bit where they showed him right before flashing something about "The Dark Knight Legend" seems to hint at that.

/wasn't trolling about that part, Wayne is dogmeat

This. Hell, I watched Muppets Christmas Carol last night, and he was even great in that.

So, Burt Ward, the actor who played Robin in the '60s, plays football now? Damn, I hope to be in as good a shape when I am his age.

Aww, you take Cracked articles seriously. That's cute.

I don't consider it predictable and lazy, since most Hollywood studios would never allow it to happen for exactly the reason you point out - the series is a huge money maker. The mentality is to go into the story with a definitive beginning and end and not drag it out forever; complete the character arc. Plenty of other movie series and TV shows have turned to crap because they weren't willing to plan an end to the story, and so they keep having to jam in crappy filler. Sometimes that filler becomes the ending because it sucks so bad. Examples: Spiderman 3, seasons 2 and 3 of Lost (one they finally decided on 6 seasons total, it finally picked up the story again), just about any other movie series that ran past 4 movies.

Plus, Nolan, Bale and a bunch of others involved probably want to move on to new projects, and the series just wouldn't be the same with anyone else at the helm. I'd rather see it go out on a high note than continue on into mediocrity.

/Plus there aren't really any good villains left for Nolan to use since he said he' only use the more realistic villains and is also avoiding the campy ones, so Riddler, Penguin, Clayface, Killer Croc, Poison Ivy and Mr. Freeze out. That pretty much leaves Zsasz and Hush, and neither of them are known much by people who aren't fans of the comics, even though they are major villains.

Richard Roma: So I guess I did it right?

What, said something obviously stupid and got caught? Yea... I guess. Good job or something.

Can I just say, the Nolan batman has a couple of faults for me:

1. his overly gruff voice sounds hilariously 'try-hard' to my ears
2. Batman's mask just looks... wrong - it makes Bats look like a fathead

Just had to get that off my chest.

looks like it will be pretty amazing. i really want to see what bane looks like when hes all pumped up, i can't think of a way to make it not lame but i am also not christopher nolan

Does anyone else think the person pulled from under the dresser is Alfred? Perhaps he is killed in some sort of assault on Wayne Manor?

Nem Wan: Why isn't the trailer officially released online already? Why does anyone have to bootleg a COMMERCIAL?

Because the theaters are more and more desperate to draw in viewers. Trailers are big draws.

The Incredible Sexual Egg: I remember seeing where it where one of the teams had this awful purple and green color scheme.

so this is about the 99%?

Right. I'm going to see a movie because I want to catch a specific trailer. Because, you know ...

You mean like the guy complaining he only saw MI4 in Imax for the prologue?

HawgWild: casual disregard: There are in fact people who do exactly that.

SharkTrager: You mean like the guy complaining he only saw MI4 in Imax for the prologue?

Seriously? I mean ... seriously?

Fark that.

MI4 is actually getting pretty good reviews (Rotten Tomatoes has it at 95% for the critics and 91% for the audience), so I have no problem seeing it as a popcorn flick and getting the Batman prologue as a bonus.
