  1. I mostly agree with this, but the non-70mm showings had the new trailer as well. That wasn't available earlier this week.
  2. You're not delusional. I wouldn't be surprised if the snow is also a tribute to BR. Plus he chose a black Batsuit when he didn't have to.
  3. Sounds exactly like the first movie. RDJ mumbled his way through it, which undermined a lot of the humor IMHO.
  4. Kinda hard to say with Holmes. I would imagine it has a big casual fanbase, so midnight is probably tough to use as a gauge for the weekend.
  5. Yep. Best scene in that movie too. Nolan picked a good one to rip off.
  6. Is he maybe talking about the Selina part where she's wearing the fancy dress and hat? Not sure.
  7. It looks like she has nailed the role. Great to see. I'm just so happy to see more focus on Bruce.
  8. Correct. Bane is brilliant and always thinking ahead of everyone else, just like the Joker.
  9. Should be with Holmes opening. Any other big movies coming out this week?
  10. Makes you wonder if WB just slapped that on there without even asking Nolan if it was OK. They used a similar marketing strategy ("it all ends!") for DH2 and it was validated by the insane opening and total gross of that film. That success will only make them push the "end" theme for TDKR even if it contradicts one of the ideas Nolan has been pushing heavily in these Batman movies. It's not just about Bruce's story, it's about Bruce's attempt to inspire other people to stand up for what's right. That inspiration should never end.
  11. One thing is sure, Bruce is going to get his ass handed to him in this movie. I'm honestly wondering if he'll survive it.
  12. It wasn't one reporter. Pretty much everyone who saw the Prologue said they couldn't understand a lot of his dialogue.
  13. I'll wait to see for myself. I understood exactly what he said during the football stadium speech that was posted on YouTube.
  14. Bane is seen in the Prologue carrying Batman's shattered mask. Batfan joygasm.
  15. Oh I've read the book and it clearly influenced the TDK Joker. Jonah Nolan has gone in depth about it in interviews. The Joker attempting to push one of Batman's allies over the edge into madness is a common plotline between Killing Joke and TDK. Joker's multiple origin stories in TDK are a nod to his amnesia about his origin in Killing Joke. The first book Nolan gave to Ledger for researching the role was Killing Joke. The Barbara Gordon sequence you mentioned is an example of how Ledger viewed the Joker. While he prepared for the role, he kept a journal with things the Joker would laugh about, which included rape, AIDS, nuclear war, and so forth. It shows up in the movie too. Ledger's Joker had the balls to kill Batman's love interest, whereas Jack's Joker fell in love with her.
  16. I disagree. Ledger's Joker is straight out of the Killing Joke. Nicholson didn't even bother coming up with a high pitched clown voice, which is how the comics describe it. Ledger and Hamill's voices kick the crap out of Jack's.
  17. B89 is my fave, but BB is the best of the bunch. It's the only one that properly focused on the main character. As much as I enjoy B89, Returns, and TDK, they're all guilty of focusing too much on villians and supporting characters.
  18. I liked Jack's Joker performance more in The Shining. He's too famous to play an already famous character like the Joker. Ledger immersed himself in the role, Jack didn't.
  19. I agree, it's just funny to see him criticize a fanboy favorite.
