That...still doesn't make any sense. The whole stadium is collapsing around him, but he doesn't feel or hear anything? I'm sure it will be edited differently in the movie, no idea why the scene was used when apparently it isn't ready. I guess they needed more explosions in the trailer.

It's a comic book movie about a guy dressing up as a bat. You just need to roll with it.

It's finally happening. The "realism!" people are finally realizing that there's no such thing in these films and starting to go insane with "well, obviously it'll be different in the final movie!" posts. Fantastic.

On a side note: I really, really like Hathaway's little "occupy Gotham" speech. I have the exact opposite feelings on her performance as I do about what we've seen of Bane so far.

Because all fucking hell is going to break loose

It's funny how this trailer makes all the other comic book movies "seem" like kiddy comic book fare, while it gives the impression that this movie is an event that you better not loving miss. I've been keeping myself relatively in the dark with this movie, after following everything in TDK......holy poo poo Nolan is doing his own version of Dark Knight Returns. I'm so pumped for this.

Even being a longtime comics reader and knowing that Bane is more than a wannabe hulk, I still felt that having Hardy/Bane following Ledger/Joker was a bit unfair, and would ultimately be anticlimactic. Seeing the the trailers though have totally erased my doubt. Bane seems like a massive threat, and looks like he would punch a hole in Joker.

So excited.

To be fair, Bane would probably try to punch a hole in the Joker, but then after he did it the Joker would start laughing and Bane would look down and realize that he had actually punched a hole in himself the whole time thanks to Joker's plotting and scheming.

If my Joker action figure didn't hear the huge explosion I feigned while playing with it in the basement yesterday, then the characters in this $100 million movie shouldn't either! Heh, these non comic book avatar people and their "reasonable realism" requests, maybe they should just...I don't know...turn their brains off?! If you are watching a comic book inspired movie and don't automatically turn into a drooling retard as soon as you enter the theater, get out.

Someone on another board made this sensible leap

It looks like Bane kidnaps all or most of the wealthy people in Gotham and imprisons them, based on the scene where Wayne and another old white guy are talking while the chanting takes place.

It makes sense in context with almost everything except if so, when does Bane find out Wayne is Batman or does he know the entire time and just lock his rear end up as Wayne because gently caress your costume rich boy.

I thought it seemed like that was a flashback to the period in Wayne's life when he was locked up, before he got let out of prison the first time. The prison uniforms match, from what I can tell, and there was also longer hair on Bale.

Maybe he just doesn't know what a football stadium being imploded underneath you feels like. I certainly don't. It's hard to predict how an anonymous fictional football player would react in a situation that's literally never happened to anyone.

Yeah, that's a really stupid way of saying it, but pretty much. It's a loving comic book movie dude. Sure, they take themselves more seriously than others in their field, but they have never, EVER, been realistic, even to a reasonable extent that you seem to think. A man travels the world and becomes a ninja, then puts on a bat costume to fight thugs. A crazy psychiatrist uses his magic flowers to make people specifically hallucinate their greatest fears, and is working for a terrorist who has a doomsday machine that can somehow magically vaporize the water in pipes (and ONLY that water, no other water around). Then a man in a clown outfit shows up and outsmarts the entire mob and police force, and blows half the face off of the DA who survives but is now EEEEEVIL. And now a guy with a jock strap mask that feeds him drugs constantly has a doomsday device that causes earthquakes.

But what gets you is the guy in the football stadium doesn't notice said insane doomsday device causing a earthquake behind him. Maybe that's just how the insane doomsday device works, it doesn't make tremors or sounds. And that would be JUST as realistic as ANYTHING ELSE THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED IN THESE MOVIES.

Maybe Gotham has a history of earthquakes in the DC universe and he just figured it was one of those.

I mustache you a question


When Marshawn Lynch scored this touchdown, he said he didn't hear anything but his breathing and his pads.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBHk9rc4hHc

This happened in the loudest stadium in the Nfl. That run got the stadium so loud that seismic activity was recorded at the stadium from the noise. So that scene isn't too far fetched that the player wouldn't notice.

Yep, the player in the trailer was just in the moment, in the zone running to score. And then he turns around and the field is gone! Get it, it's humorous, no further analysis needed.

Get real, son! A sporting event is one of the last things on Earth the average, nitpicking, MY IMMERSION-obsessed film nerd who hangs out on cinema message boards is likely to attend.

Anyway, I kinda like how Nolan is seemingly once again cherry-picking pieces from some of the more famous stories, in this case Knightfall (the Batman-obsessed Bane freeing the prisoners to exhaust his target and wrecking his poo poo), and The Dark Knight Returns (Batman's final triumph, Bane and his army as a stand in for the Mutants, the marginalisation of Gordon). It wouldn't surprise me if it ends by going in a Batman Inc. direction with having Bruce setup Batmen everywhere, setting the scene for a film with Russian Batman in the funky hat one day. Okay, I can dream, dammit.

Good job ignoring where I said it would need to be a situation where he wouldn't feel the collapse. I'm not sure he would hear the noise necessarily, stadiums can get pretty loud. For reference, though louder than Heinz Field (the one this movie is shot on), Qwest Field in Seattle actually set off the Richter scale when the fans were cheering so loudly during a playoff game (that just happened to be possibly the best run in NFL History).

The football field collapsing looked awesome and was very believable. Some of you need to stop stressing out, just don't watch the movie if it bothers you that much. It was actually pretty tame compared to most comic book films.

Anyways, i've seen the 6 minutes that is being shown with Mission Impossible. Not gonna talk about it, other then to say after seeing that, the other comic book movies coming out next summer might as well push themselves back into fall. There's no point in competing with the Dark Knight Rises.

Why are people trying to find reasons that he didn't know the loving field was collapsing behind him? Of course anyone in the loving world would notice that, it's retarded to think you wouldn't or that the crowd could mask the fact that the ground is blowing up 5 yards behind you.

It works because Nolan thought it would be an effective and funny scene. No other reason.
