    One thing that really impressed me was Banes voice. It was really eerie but just suited the character perfectly. Really impressive.

    Ditto. I was wondering how much I'd like Bane as a villain and it worked really well. Batman Begins and the Dark Knight had some great hand-to-hand fight scenes but none that made me feel like Batman had to lay it all on the line to win. Every time he fought Bane though, I felt like it was no-holds-barred, y'know?

    Sort of like how in the Amazing Spider-Man, I felt like I finally saw Spidey fighting exactly how he does in the comics. This was like that for me - it was cool seeing Batman finally go toe-to-toe with somebody that could stand up to him physically.

    And as a side note, the Bat vehicle visually reminds me of a stinkbug so every time I see it, I want to call "the stinkbug" instead of "the bat."

    Exactly how I felt. I could just about feel every hit Bane threw at him.In the previous 2 it was like he didn't have to try but in this he really busts his balls and you really feel for him and once he finally got it together I was ready to fist pump the air. You could hear people in the cinema going 'YEAH'.Like you said it was the same for me with Spiderman as well. At the end of this film everybody in the cinema clapped and cheered which is something I haven't experienced in a while.

    Does Bane ever get into kind of a berzerker mode or anything close to an increase in strength because of the "venom"? I'm looking for like a noticeable difference we see on camera.

    Just saw it at my midnight screening. Absolutely loved it! I won't spoil it for you guys but those who do want it spoiled, i mean major spoiled...
    Spoiler:
    Batman flies off in the bat with the bomb attached, its made out that he has died but he actually had it on autopilot and ejected before the bomb went off. batman is thought to be dead but is honoured by gotham with a statue. bruce is later seen with selina kyle in florence i think it was? so YES batman did die but bruce wayne is alive
    Nolan went all "Iron Giant".

    In many of the reviews, Bane's voice is either 'unintelligable under the mask' or 'pushed forward so far in the mix the background noise disappears'

    Gotta love the critics

    I agree I mean I felt like Bane was one of the most brutal fighters I have ever seen. His fighting style was unrelenting and he got right to the point no toying around he just went for it.

    Spoiler:
    I also was on the verge of being disturbed when Bane was just pounding Batmans head into the concrete. I mean it was Brutal and just plain mean.

    That joke about the two most famous guys being shot in the back of the head in a theater, will now have to be changed to the three most famous guys shot in the back of the head in a theater!

    Just got to work after the 5am showing over here, for some reason we had to wait till Midnight east coast time to watch it in the UK. WORTH IT THOUGH.

    Another cinema did Begins and TDK, once I got out of there at midnight I knew I had to wake up to see it at 5am, ha. Was really good, my only minor pitiful grievance is that I would have liked to see more shots of catwoman, she was looking hot! And they didn't show the Man of Steel trailer which was meant to come?

    I'M BATMAN!

    Just got back...and WOW.

    I have no words, I'm still processing it all, but DAMN can Nolan tell a story!

    After it ended, I let out a nerdy "Squeeeeeeeeee!" That's the closest thing I've had to words so far.

    Hey question about a specific scene:
    Spoiler:
    When Batman is chasing the guys on the motorcycles, what does that gun he uses do? Or what is it supposed to do?

    It's an EMP, just like the little remote he had in the papparazi scene.

    Just heard that a gunman opened fire in a theatre in Denver and killed 10. Jesus Christ!

    I hope everyone here's OK and may the ones who were taken RIP.

    Just got back from it with a BB and TDK showing beforehand. Awesome. Not holy crap I need to change my shorts like TDK was, but very satisfying for the third installment.

    I love that Bane actually broke his back. It was also great to see nods to the "born in prison" origin before the reveal, I wasn't expecting that. I'm sure anyone who's familiar with Knightfall and No Man's Land appreciated all the related story beats.

    Was laughing my ass off during the funeral scene, having connected the dots. Not sure how many others in the theatre had but that's okay. I'm happy to see that ending, and it's consistent with the talk through all the movies of when Gotham no longer needed Batman and Bruce having something more to live for.

    SP Bane breaks Bat's back as in the comics, glad to hear that these is a similarity to the story. Although this Bane in the movie is very slim comparing to the Bane character from the comics
