I always found this Batman series realistic so for me. Maggie fit better. Not everybody is beautiful.

What a great movie. I just saw it now, so maybe it has to settle a little, but my first impression was very positive. Bane really impressed me.

Maggie was a better actor than Katie? I thought Maggie was pretty bad.

Katie had that stupid smirk on her face the whole time that said "I need acting lessons."

It just annoyed me that Maggie's Rachel seemed like a very different person than Katie's Rachel, even though the two movies take place very close to each other time-wise.

Was it part of Talia/Bane's plan to die in the blast along with Gothem?

Liam Neeson wore a mask during the fear gas sequence, so I thought that the League would continue on after destroying Gothem.

Yeah, if anything, the worst part isn't Katie or Maggie. It's the fact that they are both portraying a major character and, like you suggest, it really disrupts continuity.

I'm late to the party but I finally saw the movie and thought it was great.  I really enjoyed Selina Kyle and Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character, it was nice seeing Bruce have a couple more ass-kicking homies on his side.  This Nolan Batman trilogy should go down as one of the all-time classics, up there with the Star Wars OT, first three Indy films, Back to the Future and LOTR.

Sorry, but I never got the hype. The battle scenes are blown out of proportion and the story is cheesier than :symphonyx:. In fact, the only scene I enjoy is in the third part, the battle of Minas Tirith, where Legolas slays this huge elephant-kinda-thingy and Gimli tells him that he only counts as one.  :lol

Huh, and I'd say that's one of the cheesiest moments in one of the most blown out of proportion battles scenes in the series.  Go figure :dunno:

Of course it's cheesy - the whole movie series is cheesy, but at least, that scene is funny. A little. The rest of the series ain't even got that saving grace.

I really like the LOTR movies, doesn't really mind me if they are cheesy. The Indiana Jones movies are kinda cheesy as well, same goes for Star Wars. That's part of the charm.

YARRR  :yarr THERE BE SPOILERS HERE


In The Dark Knight Rises - Jim Gordon seems surprised that Bruce Wayne is Batman.

I am confused. I always thought Jim Gordon knew who Batman was ( at least in The Dark Knight ).

Guess I wasn't paying enough attention !

SPOILERS AND ALL THAT JAZZ



No yeah he never knew Batman's identity, that's why when Bruce went to see him in the hospital he wore a ski mask.  I thought that part at the end was funny though, when it dawned on Gordon after Batman's comment and he was like "wait, wtf- Bruce Wayne??"  :lol

The leage of shadows knew who he was. Bane was a member, I'm sure it wasn't hard to figure it out.

Oh that's right. But how did the League know? IIRC, Qui-Gon knew Batman was Bruce the moment he saw him.

Because The Batman was born almost entirely out of the training from the League. When Bruce escapes and then pretty soon after, in Bruce's city a guy shows up that is the epitome of League training....you put the pieces together. Especially since they knew he was afraid of bats and everything else.

They trained him in martial arts, stealth, and 'theatricality', knew he was driven to fight crime in Gotham, that he had a fear of bats, and had the wealth and resources of Wayne Corp behind him. It's not really a particularly large leap of logic to connect him to Batman at that point.
