The Dark Knight Rises! Box Office update, 160 million opening weekend!

Why did Nolan choose to use Catwoman instead of Robin? That would have been much better. Perhaps he wanted to spice things up with some sexual tension?

Well, there is this.

Plus, it doesn't hurt to have Anne Hathaway riding the Batpod in a skintight leather outfit.

Who else is watching the first two in the hours before it comes out?

I'll be rewatching the first two, but probably in the couple of days before it comes out, and in my home rather than at any theater.

"Christian Bale has stated that he would not play Batman if Robin appeared anywhere in the trilogy. Christopher Nolan agreed not to include Robin as it would undermine the dark tone of his series."

Because Robin would be a stupid inclusion in Nolan's universe.

Night Wing would fit though.

Also, Anne Hathaway already has experience playing Cat Woman

Thomas Hardy as Bane gonna rock Dark Knight Rises.

If what this guy said is true then this movie has way too much action.:o

Thanks, dave for kicking things off again.

I'll celebrate the return of this thread with free streaming of the complete soundtrack!

Thread of reviews for those who saw the movie early.

New poll coming in a bit. Just curious, do you guys think it'll be quite a while before Batman makes his appearance on screen? It looks like it could be at least an hour before his return.Travo_basic

Ok, Heath Ledger won the best Batman baddie with an overwhelming 82% of the vote, or 51 out of 61 votes.

New poll time, best Batman theme. Here are the choices:

The Venture's 1966 version?

Danny Elfman 1989 version?

Hans Zimmer/James Newton Howard's Batman Begins theme.

Well as much as I love hearing "Na na na na na na BATMAN!"

The 89 version is my favorite.

Gotta go with the Howard/Zimmer version.

so OT when you read Batman comics, what voices do you read the comics in?

For Batman, I read in Bale's when he's out as Batman and as Conway when he's Bruce Wayne.

For Joker, I read in Mark Hammil's voice.

I never watched the cartoons, so Bale, Ledger, etc.

(Granted I don't really read the comics ether...)

Can't wait. I've got my two tickets for Saturday, July 21st. I'll be seeing it in IMAX.

I don't want to stay out late, so I'll just see it the following day. I like seeing movies early in the day. I'll be seeing it as 9:00 AM and then again at 12:50 PM in the same exact theater/ viewing room. I'm going to see it at AMC Empire 25 on 42nd Street.

My local IMAX is about 45 minutes away. I figured I could take the nephew to see it there one August morning.Travo_basic

How many times are you going to see it? Once is not enough.
