The Dark Knight Rises

JGL: "My name's Robin...but I'm really the new Batman. Yeah Bruce Wayne gave me access to the BatCave but forgot to show me how everything works...hell I don't even have a password for the Bat Computer. Bruce left all his inheritance to the butler so I'm pretty broke, some other family's bought & moved into the Wayne Manor above so I've gotta push the Tumbler 2 miles out from the estate before I can even start it...."

JGL as Batman is freaking ridiculous. Bruce Wayne was only able to become the Batman because: 1. He had the talent/will power/etc 2. through extensive training by the League of Shadows. JGL is literally just a cop like McLame, he would be one of those fake Cop-Batmen at the start of The Dark Knight except he isn't overweight.

I also didnt like the audience pandering. God forbid he said his name was richard gracin. Nolan wanted all those who only have a small knowledge of the batman mythology to juzz their pants. OH HES ROBIN.... I KNOW WHO THAT IS THIS! MOVIE IS AWESOME!

I think Nolan deliberately hinted JGL as the new Batman to screw with the franchise.

But then again, Hollywood lacks so much imagination these days, they'll gladly grasp Nolan's idea then take a gamble on casting someone else as Batman.

I'm not. The movie wasn't really all that fantastic.

YouTube video

So I watched it again on blu-ray just to see if I still felt my negative opinions were still justified, in my mind.

Seriously Nolan really screwed this puppy when it came to story-telling...the dude has no concept whatsoever when it comes to time.

The scene where they load the bomb in the back of the truck, the camera zooms in to the timer & the count down shows 52 hours & 32 minutes. The very next scene is Bruce in the pit about to get strung up & have that spinal vertebrae of his punched in....

Soooo within 52 hours, Bruce gets healed & makes 3 attempts to climb out of the pit. These 3 attempts must've been in the same morning, minutes, hours apart....

Then that nagging question of how Bruce gets back to Gotham....still within 52 hours counting down. Enough time to give Selina her "chance to change her ways" speech, enough time to pretend to be caught just to see Miranda, rescue Gordon, organise a flaming bat symbol & rescue Blake from some goons.

And let's not forget the stock-exchange scene also. Bane breaks in at noon. Lunch time is implied because one of the henchmen is delivering sandwiches....followed by the bike escape & Bats joining chase that ends late at night....man, that's at least a minimum of 7 hours racing through the streets of Gotham.

Sorry Batfolk, I still have little respect for this movie & Nolan's attempt at story telling.

Oh it's funny too how Talia can grow from a child to a woman & yet Bane seems to stay the same age...

Fairly certain it was 52 days.

The read-out was 52:32.
So 52 days & 32 hours?
OR
52 days & 32 minutes???

What kinda timer is that?

An hourly timer does make zero sense, truth be told.

But I'm pretty sure it was 52 days as well.

I'm not gonna lie, the film has a serious bag of plot holes coming with it but it's still the movie of the year in my opinion, despite all its loopholes.

Avengers was better.

I liked it though.

Nah.

Batman does so much better. Superior in pretty much every category besides comedy and action.

just bought it today.. will be buying several more
