That's just how the Joker was: he's mentally scarring in inducing huge frantic in the public that he didn't need to be physically capable, as seen by his knife shoe, guns, dogs, etc.
Apparently, the next Batman is to be tied into the 'Justice League' movie, alongside Reynolds and Cavill.
Nolan's confirmed he's producing the "reboot". And Bale said he's not playing Batman anymore. Not Bruce Wayne, however.
Now you have this John Blake character...
I smell Batman Beyond!
Anyway saw if, enjoyed it, Brilliant just not as good as the first two. (although I am amougnst the minority that prefers Begins to Knight.
Wow, you don't understand the characters at all, do you mate? Not a Batman fan maybe. The Joker is obviously not going to kill Batman. He would never do that even given tons of opportunities. He spends his life ripping of the mob and it is all so boring, but when Batman comes along with his "rules" he respects how he has changed things in Gotham and sees he is too much fun to kill. The two are the exact prime definition of "there can be no hero without a villain". Batman won't kill him due to his morals, and Joker won't kill him because he enjoys his bouts with Batman and the new challenges he brings like the morals he tries to get him to break. Joke can fight though, make no mistake. He handled the cops at the precinct as well as Batman a bit at the end of the film. Bane on the other hand is a masterfully trained fighter, and more experienced than ever Bruce after he had been trained by the league. Both men have the same training and can guess the tactics of the other, and I love that Bane has absolute immunity over Bruce's tactics implementing fear. Bane would kill Batman, as he is absolutely different from Joker in his plot and goals. The Joker just wants to cause chaos and show Gotham that their appointed officials in politics and crime enforcement as well as and "white knights" if you will can be turned to the dark side, as he proves with Harvey. Joker knew he won if Batman killed him, as Batman would not only go back on his rules, but he would be donned a killer. Bane on the other hand planned to die. He has an expansive plot to not kill a few meager officials or prove a point, but to commit absolute genocide to purge Gotham. Bane was focused on a grand scale plot in contrast to Joker simply proving a point. He wanted Gotham wiped clean as Ra's planned, and he knew he won whether he lived or died because the bomb would go off all by itself if time lapsed too far. Tom will not win an Oscar though, I believe. While he was fantastic and menacing in the role, Heath brought something completely new to the role of Joker. His mannerisms were so ghoulish and his very presence menacing. He was a brilliantly theatrical joker, while being able to take a life without regret in a second. He is the main character study of the film. Not only for why he does what he does, but how he changes his mind from killing Batman to ensuring his survival. When I watch TDK I am smiling ear to ear in every scene Heath is in. His evil magnetism and how he just ticks into character so excellently are jaw-dropping, and I am rooting for his antics as much of and often more than Batman. He steals the show. For Tom in Bane he doesn't own the film. The performances are all even and nobody really stands out more than the other. I never once rooted for Bane, and that is saying something. He is shown as such a monster in the film you want him to die no matter the cost, and you feel Batman's hurt. Bane's massive plot and the lives of Gotham raised up in the air as well as considering that his plot is 1000X times larger and more dangerous than Joker's solidifies his evil.
Film of the year. and my only problem is as a batman film I'm gonna have to wait a long time for another though they could easily make a sequel to this With blake becoming a blood thirsty vigilante under a new guise Th Reaper and Perhaps lady Shiva retraining Bruce to take Blake on.... could be interesting.
That defeats the purpose of the film and goes against Blake's beliefs. He is supportive of justice, not chaos and destruction.
Saying it could be done not that it should be done...
And I don't think Blake has the same strength of character as Bruce I mean he was almost willing to give Gordon over to Bane because of the lie they created.
One other thing this is a far better film then any film they could give us using Riddler.
Bane really was the perfect choice for a final villain.
Also, If i wasn't a fan, I would not have seen the movie.
Talia was awesome though I wish she had more screen time
There are non Batman fans that go just to see explosions and tune out the awesome story. Unfortunate, but true.
Blake didn't lack strength of character. He caught Gordon in his guilt and made it apparent that he didn't respect him hiding what really happened that night 8 years running. Gordon should have been truthful, and that shows his flaw in character, not Blake's.
That was stupidly shown IMO
Selina: You don't owe these people any more! You've given them everything!
Batman: Not everything. Not yet.
The line from the trailer that Selena whispers in Wayne's ear as they dance was really good.
That, or the line about fear that Bane delivers in the plane was excellent. Anyone else think Bane's voice was excellent and creepy?
But cat woman had some brilliant lines.
I loved, but some don't. I have heard complaints that he sounds like Skeletor.
Anne was brilliant.
That's easy: "Once I have the detonator, then you have my permission to die"
As @0Brady said there is a huge 'SPOILER.' tag on the title.
Anne was amazing, she was equal if not better then Michelle P in Returns.
"Chris you can pretty do what you like with this but you can't kill him"
I also don't see why anyone would think that CN would make Bond like Batman and make it incredibly dark, this because it suited this character but Nolan still used iconography and legend of the comics and incorporated into his series, I think if Nolan did get to do a Bond film, you'd see a respect for the series and he would utilise Fleming better than most, if he does I want to see this with Craig and not wait for the next Bond to turn up.
I didn't think that Miranda would be Talia, but I sort of guessed that Blake would be Robin.
My favourite line was "this isn't a car"
Can anyone clear this up because there's one thing I didn't get, how did Blake know Batmans secret identity?
He isn't Robin though, it's just his name. If anything he would be Batman 2.0. It was included to give a hopeful ending, so we know that though Bruce is retired, Gotham is safe. And Blake was an orphan like Bruce, and saw that same look in his eyes that he too used to cover up his hurt. I think he said many with that anger think to do with it what Bruce did, but lack what he has.
To be fair, TDK was more complex in its message and themes. TDKR still has those wonderful touches, but it is clearly a straight good vs. evil tale.
I thought that he'd be protecting Gotham as Robin in the future, hee might use the name as his persona. If he is the next Batman then they should just use him for the next film instead of rebooting the entire series again.
