re: OFFICIAL - The Dark Knight Rises Discussion Thread - *SPOILERS*

Just watched it for the first time. Was fricking awesome.
My only wish was they would have just at least said the Joker one time. Just mention him.

Bane was bad as frick but I hated the way he died.

If Bruce really was alive would Alfred really have just a smile on his face or would he be like "holy shite you're alive"?

Regarding the lackluster impact of Tate betraying Bruce at the end-

How about eliminating the Blake arc altogether. After all, Gordon didn't need his rescue at the hospital, and you could have Gordon or someone else feed the cops info etc.
As for all that Blake does with Bruce, give it to Tate. Have HER come and tell Bruce that Gordon is hurt, and instead of "you're Batman", she says something like "you're the only one I could turn to with this. If only we still had Batman around"; and lure him out. And she could be the one that gives him a ride home after the car is repo'd. Basically, build her into a major character/ally for Bruce to fall for- and you could impose the Selena Kyle interest as the one thing he doesn't quite share with her.

Then, when she stabbed him, it would be more potent.

Loved the way his swole arse just strutted around with all that swag.

:nohomo:

That and him slowly walking up on the roof as Batman & Catwoman were escaping. That was really well done.

When he was fricking throwing punches fast as shite at batman against those pillars was bad as frick.

like I said Nolan is a victim of the realism he created in these movies. Seriously, you don't see this kind of nitpicking for any other comic book movie.

Man it would have been amazing just to show the joker with his back turned or something in a back alley or sitting in a chair just laughing with Heath Ledgers voice from TDK. I would have seriously JIMP.

I'm not saying you have to cgi Heaths face or nothing. Just show like him turned away from the camera or something with his trademark laugh and purple suit. frick

Here's another thing that pisses me off about the nitpickers. They think it's totally impossible for Bruce Wayne - a guy known for his gadgets - to fix his leg up to where it's strong enough to bust up a brick wall but they have no problem with Bane shattering a concrete pillar with his fists.

That's a damned interesting theory.

Good. A lot of people didn't care for lots of things in this movie. One of the major issues people have is that Tate's betrayal of Bruce felt shallow to pointless, because nobody really cares about her.

Do YOU have any problems at all about how she is portrayed? About why her betrayal is supposed to feel so bad? If you do, then how might you have established her as a more relevant love interest?
