Dark Knight Rises *there be spoilers here, seriously don't click if you don't want spoilers*

I just got back from seeing it and don't recall that line. I wasn't really, looking for it though.

I personally didn't feel this one was as good as the first two. To me, it just seemed like there was a lot of erroneous stuff in there like they were trying their best to drag it out to 3 hours when it would've been fine as a 2-2 1/2 hour movie. It didn't feel like it meshed with the first two nearly as well as they did with each other. There are other little nitpicks but I won't go into them.

Anne Hathaway definitely pulled off Catwoman better than I expected, but I can't say I liked Bane much (doesn't matter who played him, I didn't care for the character). I have to say, though I'm glad this series is over, and most likely someone else will don the cape and cowl for a re-launch or JL movie (whichever comes first). I've always felt Bale played Bruce Wayne well, but wasn't as good at playing Batman (vs. Michael Keeton who I felt played Batman well, but not Bruce). Hopefully, whoever plays him next can get both characters down.

Overall, I'd say it was a good movie, but I left feeling about the same as I did when I left Spider-Man a couple weeks ago. More "meh" and not wow'd like The Avengers and Captain America before it.

It just hit me: Blake --> Drake -> Robin -> Red Robin..... WE GET A RED ROBIN MOVIE!!!!

So I finally saw the movie this past Saturday for the first time and now I can come into this thread and read posts!

I will say the movie was pretty good but nothing spectacular. Avengers > TDKR that's for sure.


I had quite a bit of issues trying to hear what was being said throughout the movie (not just issues with Bane either).

Oh and I totally saw that girl as being a villain. I kept waiting and waiting for that "twist" to come.

Am I the only one who *still* doesn't know what the hell Selina's "cat-goggles" were for?

I will assume night vision but their really wasn't anytime in the movie they could go to "Selina-vision". At some point the general public should realize that if a character is wearing something over their eyes in a dark room that it's some kind of night vision without resorting to having to show the view a first person shot showing night vision.

Then why wear it during the day? From my personal experiences in the Navy with night vision...that's kind of an epically awful decision.

The are transition night vision lenses?

In any case, that was *my* one beef with it, so...that's a win, in my book.

Just got back from Cinema (I like to wait to crowds thin out, and have a nice quiet screening).

Hmm, not my cup of tea, don't think I've ever gone to a Batman movie and well seen so little of Batman, on the odd occasion he wore the suit it was a complete waste of time as everyone knew who he was anyway lol.
I did find the lines that were spoke to the would-be Robin character about hiding his identity to protect love ones as a bit farcical.

At times I wondered whether or not Catwoman, was Catwoman or Batgirl, they manage to seperate the two much better in the other films.

As the conclusion to Nolan's trilogy I felt he let himself down, but take nothing away from 1 and 2 they were excellent.

The darkness in the first 2 films seemed to be lost in this one, and maybe a better choice of villian would have been better to bring out the darkness in previous films, Killer Croc, Penguin or Riddler could have been portrayed much better and darker than Bane and kept the feel of the trilogy together.

Well sadly most non-comic book fans consider the concept of a costume superhero as automatically camp. Actually anybody dressed too differently than the general public is considered strange and probably should be avoided. I think Iron-man got a bit of a pass by the general public because his armor is his power, not just something to disguise himself or instill fear in the cowardly hearts of criminals. Thor on the other hand would get beer cans thrown at him by drunk teenagers out joyriding.
