Really? "Batman and Robin will join forces"? That's ridiculous and inconsistent with the movie's universe.

There is no Robin. His name is a reference, he's not actually Robin, the side kick. He finds the Bat Cave so he will become Batman. As Bruce told him, the idea was that anyone could be Batman. The mask is to protect the people you love.

Your bro's gf should think about, you know, logic, before calling you an idiot.

Well then explanations as to where BANE was born and how he got in the pit woulda helped.

no, because the idea was for you to think he WAS born in the pit

[PixelPanic]

So they were both born in the pit?

I was laughing harder than I should've been in the theater, because that's all that I could think of, in that scene.

But Bain said he was "bornn en Darknes!"

I know this can mean a lot of things, but c'mon! I'm sure if I see it again, I could point to other moments where they pretty much lie to us, instead just ambiguously mislead us. At least that's the impression I'm coming away with right now.

Ugh. A lot of mixed feelings about this one. Can't tell if I'll accept it and like it, or just end up despising it.

A friend also pointed out how strange it was when they fled the stock market, it was still day, but literally like 5-10 minutes later, it was pitch black night when Batman showed up. We had the timer on the computer to prove it wasn't the world's longest police chase too.

It's things like this that just made it feel more sloppy and comic book-y than the other films. Which is fine, for a comic book film, except this film goes the extra mile to stay grounded in some sort of plausible realism, until it decides it flippantly doesn't, which the first two films rarely did (for the most part).

Hah. . . What cartoon is that? I watched it after seeing Dark Knight Rises the first time. Sure enough, I agree with Gario.

I liked the movie. A bit disappointed on some things, but in overall it was great.

Also, Hans Zimmer rocks.

This was hilarious. About that scene btw...

SPOILERS! Seriously, are you reading this thread if you haven't seen it?

Did anyone else think that Scarecrow's cameo as the "judge" was originally meant to be the Joker, prior to Ledger's death? Seems like Joker would have been a better fit there...

They, as in the filmmakers, or he, as in Bane? Are you really mad at the bad guy for lying to you? He's the bad guy. Of course he lied about him being born in the Lazarus Pit. Everyone thought he was the child from the Lazarus Pit because that's the myth he himself perpetuated.

Are you angry that he, the villain of the story, wasn't honest with you, the audience? That he didn't spoil the misdirection at the very start? Don't be ridiculous.
