The Dark Knight Rises Anticipation Station

[Trek Survivor]

Chief O'Hara! Begorrah!

And Aunt Harriet!

^ Aunt Harriet would unfortunately be impossible since she was Dick's aunt IIRC.

 

[Captain Craig]

I wish we would have got to see Matches' Malone

+1, that would've been cool!!
We've never had Matches realized via live action have we?

 

[Admiral_Young]

I don't believe so no.

Bale on Anne Hathaway:

“I had plenty of scenes with Anne,” Christian began. “And I was there when we did the screen test for her. The thing that I said to Chris [Nolan] that day was that there were many very accomplished actresses who had read for the role. I’m terrible at auditions, so I’m very impressed when somebody really seems to acquire an ownership of a character without having worked on it or prepared for some amount of time.”
“I saw that in Anne,” he added. “When Chris watched the screen test, he agreed that Anne did a wonderful job. In many ways, she has the hardest job. There are a number of people who feel that the Catwoman role has been defined previously. So, I always saw Anne’s role as being the toughest job of any of us. In my case, I’ve stopped referencing outside sources. I now reference Chris’ own world of Batman as a guide to what I will continue doing.”
​

Bale on Tom Hardy:

He raved about Tom Hardy as “a phenomenal actor. I like working with him a great deal. He goes the whole hog. I know that Bane has been seen in movies before. But, in my eyes, Tom is essentially creating Bane for the first time so there’s great freedom for him to be able to do so.”
​

Bale on Joseph Gordon-Levitt:

“Joseph is a very intriguing guy,” Christian said of the actor who last worked with Chris in “Inception.” Coincidentally, so did Tom. “I would see Joseph’s performances in other films while we were filming. He’s somebody who truly seems to love acting. He’s a good, smart guy. He did a very good job in the movie.”
​

Bale also announced what many of us already know, The Dark Knight Rises will be the last time we see him as Batman

This is shaping up to be a superb film.

 

[OdoWanKenobi]

What is he talking about? We've never seen Bane on screen before.

Yeah, I can't think of any movie we've seen Bane in. Not in a live-action movie, anyway.

 

[Admiral_Young]

"Batman and Robin"

Who could forget "Baannnnnnneeeeeeeeee!".

 

[Captain Craig]

I thought they were just being silly.
I figured we meant a serious version of Bane.

 

[Admiral_Young]

^ I would assume that's why OdoWan use the Vulcan emotion In the quote from the article Bale actually says he knows Bane HAS been in films before not that he hasn't.

if true, this story gives some spoiler-ish material for the opening of the movie, the bit that's to be released on IMAX and on Bane's backstory.

I actually right clicked on that link and had my finger ready to hit the "Open in new tab" option, but had to stop myself.

This is shaping up to be a superb film.

Funny, so far, nothing about this film (other than Hathaway in tight leather) has me excited. I trust Nolan so I'm not in the "it's gonna bomb" category. However, I never gave a damn about Bane and I still don't. And the hints that they're going to kill off Bruce just so they can have another damn trilogy and, later, another damn reboot/origin story leave me cold.

I kind of agree.

What we've seen so far hasn't been as interesting as what we had seen of the Dark Knight, even after only the first bits of publicity were released. As I said in another thread (best 20cents on film) the Joker card at the end of the Batman Begins was far more of an interesting teaser for the sequel than anything we've seen yet for Rises, including some dumb photos of Bane .

 

[RoJoHen]

I'm really hoping they don't kill off Bruce. At this point, it's predictable, but I'm not sure Nolan knows it's predictable.

Overall, I'm still pretty "meh" on this movie. I'm sure I'll still see it theaters, but I definitely need to see a trailer before I know for sure.

 

[Captain Craig]

I agree my excitement level is in the mid range for this film.
Not stoked on the 8yr gap for one thing. I do like Bane and am fine with this costume/outfit. Going to be the best 'real' Bane to the comics at least, unlike B&R. I like that it seems Ra's is going to appear somehow/someway. I like Hathaway even if I'm not sold on her version of Catwoman's costume.

It's a trilogy wrap up that, just based on what little has been released, feels a bit anti-climatic as of now. I reserve the right to alter that as more info becomes available.
