4815162342 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 As I've said in another thread I find the poster odd since it seems to contradict the title of the film and as redfirebird pointed out what Ra's told Bruce in BB that legends never die/end.

redfirebird2008 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4815162342 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 (edited) That's not the point though. The entire point of the series has been that Batman has become a larger-than-life figure in Gotham City and a force that will be remembered. The poster suggests all that is going to go away which is a total contradiction of one of the series' main themes.By that I mean the poster suggests that Bane mauling Batman will end the "legend" and that is just wrong. It's a cool marketing ploy that undermines the series' own structure. Edited December 11, 2011 by 4815162342 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

If the movie takes place in 2012 and we know there are winter scenes so it could put it in December and in December Mayans predicted the end of the world. From the teaser Gotham is crumbling it could be the end of the world. Therefore the legend will end if everybody dies. If everybody dies than no room for sequel or justice league film.

TheMovieman Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 (edited) If everybody dies than no room for sequel or justice league film.Well, it's already been said that the Nolan Batman movies would have no connection with any Justice League movie. Speculation is that the next one will be part of that world (along with Green Lantern and The Man of Steel) to build into a JL feature. Off topic, but I'm wondering if the next Batman movie will be similar to The Incredible Hulk where it's not a sequel but not really a reboot either.

RichWS Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Or maybe Nolan used that tagline for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

75Live Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I guess Bruce does hang up the Bat suit.I hope he washes it first though ;)But I love the poster. I am definitely going to pick one up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffee Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I like the poster, while it can be debated, I just see the tagline as more of "This is the final chapter of this trilogy"............and yeah, I understand it could also be related to bane defeating batman once and for all, but the dark knight rises could refer to "events" after the suggested image on the poster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
