Dark Knight Rises

They really do need to do something about Bane's voice. I could only make out about half of what he said during the prologue that showed with M:I.
Agreed, I think that's been the only downfall so far. Tom Hardy is an incredible actor, and I think he'll bring the physicality needed for the role. But the impact was lessened because everyone went "huh?" at his lines.
 
Watched the trailer more than 5 times already. Just like the Inception trailer it doesn't give away the plot of the movie in anyway, just keeps you intrigued and that's how it should be done.
 
Here are some screen caps
Bruce with a cane?

I am pumped for this film. I've really enjoyed the direction they've gone with this Batman (particularly when looking back at the two live action films before it). I think the more realistic take on Bats is nice new way perspective to use, and I'm looking forward to seeing Nolan wrap up his story.

I'm wondering though, since so much time has passed between 2 and 3 (in the film universe), if they're going to give nods to any of his other rogues in this film, or even with a cameo like Zsazz in Begins. I would love to see a dinner scene or something in the Iceberg Lounge. :)
 
Ok, this is what I got from the new trailer

1. At HD funeral Film starts, Bats gets his ass kicked by a new guy that he did not take to seriously. Got his back busted.

2. 8 yrs go by, IN that time Bane is the king of the City. bats is in a wheel chair.

3. Gets brought to the Laz pit that's (why the grey hair) Tains maybe be with the League of shadows people. and comes back in town to beat Ban down.

4. Maybe dies taken out Bane and that guy that I can not stand from inception takes on the Bat name.


Odds are I am wrong as all hell. But that is what I kinda took from it.
 
*head scratch*

Why didn't I think of this before. Two villains (Talia and Bane), two potential heroes (Batman and Catwoman). Looks like this is going to be the standard trope of men fight the men, women fight the women. Just wait. Talia and Catwoman will duke it out, Talia will seem to have the advantage and brag about it, than Catwoman will perform the finishing move that Talia didn't see coming, and when Talia is down, Catwoman will call her a bit**.

It's happened in Total Recall, Torque, Die Another Day... I know it's happened in more movies than that. Give ma few minutes.... Oh! ALIENS! That's how awesome Ripley is. She called the fight before it started.
 
I wanted to download this in 1080 but when I click download nothing happens - and its not listed when I go to itunes movie trailers... what am I doing wrong???
 
It's weird but....seeing Bruce with gray hair makes me think this series could very easily turn into Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns" with an older,more pissed-off Batman making a comeback twenty years after this film.

Be hilarious if Nolan does JUST that and in eight or so years does his version of Frank Miller's work set in his universe,even if they make a new set of Batman films.....
 
I don't really see grey hair there - just a highlight. I feel like that may be a flashback to Begins-era world traveling Bruce. Thoughts?
 
great work celtic cool screen caps did not notice bruce with cane at 1st

did notice a few things though....

after blowing up the field you see Bruce lying there and he looks paralyzed or at least like he cannot move his head and has a huge gash on his forehead looks to match where the mask would have broken off....interesting as that is where bane says the " after gotham is in ashes line "

question is is he actually talking to bruce or is it clever editing....also while bruce is what looks like lying there there is no semblance of his mask at all and when we see bane saying his line he has that cooky fur collar coat on and when we see him in the 1st trailer climbing the stairs at a soaked and weary batman he has no coat....

from what we are shown forgone conclusion he cripples bruce to the point he needs a cane....

pretty sure catwoman will help Batman as that would be too many enemies for a previously crippled hero....

as far as JGL being the new batman I do not see it....the trailers big line is as follows

" THE LEGEND ENDS "

How then does a Legend end if JGL takes up the mantle and if that is the case the line should be

" THE LEGEND IS TAKEN UP BY SOMEONE ELSE "
 
My take on the Bruce Wayne pictures is that is a second meeting with Bane. It looks like Gotham's wealthy may be possibly rounded up at a party or gradually (Based on Selina's comments). Wayne was already hurt and tries to fight back and gets thumped and taken hostage for a while (In Knightfall, he does battle hired goons while injured resulting in being clocked from behind). Then you get the scene with Bane talking to him. Like, I got you and you can sit down here while we do what we do. Which may explain the beard/greying. The old man Wayne talks to may help him secretly with his recovery while he is "captured."

Or he could have purposely got caught at his home with everyone else, thus him jumping down the side of the building with his hood on in a suit. Or that could have been him after the meeting with Gordon (teaser).

Either way, he sticks around long enough to gather intel and climbs out and finds Fox.

I am guessing the police are aware of Bane's hide out because they appear to be in the sewers where they are attacked. This would explain Gordon in the hospital.

My question is does Bane and his men eventually come in to Wayne Manor via the cave entrance? Several figures are repelling down a well, and it looks like Bane is climbing out of the elevator like shaft that was scene in Begins, passing through some old style shelves.
