I seriously thought "The Caped Crusader" but it feels a little hokey for this.Travo_basic
It does. Wonder what will happen to the property after this movie ends. I like the odd Batman movie popping up here and there....as long as it's well done of course but lately Hollywood is doing a bit better with superhero movies.

It seems way too soon to be thinking of a reboot, but I'm sure we'll see one in five years. Maybe DC should focus on their other properties, instead of just Superman and Batman. That's one area where I give Marvel the edge, brand recognition. How many DC characters are the general public familiar with as opposed to Marvel?

That is pretty cool, but it seems doubtful it will eclipse The Avengers (Lack of 3D sales alone could take away millions, much longer running tme..) If it did succeed at beating The Avengers, that would be wonderful, of course.

No. I opted for the regular 2D for Spider-man and would do the same.

Nah. Last movie i saw in 3D was Prometheus and the added dollar for the 3D effects was money down the drain.

Well I guess since I can't pick Mr. Freeze I'll just have to settle for Heath Ledger's Joker.

No, Nolan opted to not film in3D. I think he feels like I do, that it's gimicky.

IMAX on the other hand, adds to the experience. Over an hour of fottage was shot in IMAX for TDKR, it'll be awesome.

3D just wouldn't work for a movie like this.

I went to see The Amazing Spiderman in hopes of catching one of the trailers on the big screen. I was sorely disappointed. Spiderman was good, but feels like a prelude to the main event. An appetizer before dinner.

I want to see a movie where Bale's Batman teams up with Garfield's Spidey and they fight Joker and Bane after the Carnage and Venom symbiotes bond to them.

I saw the Nokia trailer in front of Spider-man, and I also saw the Tumbler and Batpod in person.

You should've hijacked the vehicles when no one was looking.

Just imagine how many chicks you could pick up in the Tumbler!

How could I? There wasn't a single moment when the the theater employees weren't looking. On top of that, there was dozens of fans' eyes on it at all times. Besides, we weren't able to get up close to them. They knew.

Boooo. :P Where do you live?Travo_basic
Phoenix. The tour will be at SD Comicon next week, then I think it has another two or three stops in California before it ends. I bet if you pay at Comicon, you can actually get into the Tumbler and sit on the Batpod. I would have. :(

EDIT: Fixed!

I strenuously disagree. The 3D in prometheus added depth to certain scenes, and made others pop out of the screen. It was well worth the money, in my opinion. I saw it three times in IMAX 3D, but for the price of only two viewings (during matinee hours - $13.00 per ticket). As for TDKR, I don't mind that it won't be available in 3D.

Here's what some critics who had a private screening what to say:


"All I can say is....be ready to be hit REAL hard in The Dark Knight Rises. Very emotional and powerful. Blows TDK out of the water."

"If this does not break the mold and win Best Picture, no comic book movie ever will."

"It's official. #The Dark Knight Rises is f***in amazing. It received a standing ovation from the screening this morning(All Critics)."

"Now I understand why Nolan is walking away. With a two punch combo like TDK/TDKR, the fights over. Knockout."

Ok, the 1st quote has me intrigued now, I know it can be better than TDK, but to blow it away is another story. There's also a leaked review but it has some spoilers so I won't post it. I have quotes from random movie goers who sound like they already saw it, lol.

Yeah I got mine a few days ago. I normally don't do that, but after all the hype this movie is getting, I had to get one, so I did, and who knows, I may watch it multiple times in theatres like TDK. Man I hate this wait.:(
