I can't find the post I was looking for but someone brought up Batman's straight on fighting style in TDKR as opposed to the stealthy ninja style moves he used in the other movies. I always just chalked that up to the long layoff. Bruce didn't exactly look like he was training every day and staying sharp.

He explicitly gets called out for trying to slug it out like a younger man. That complaint always struck me as really weird.

The thing that bugs me about Nolan's Batman movies is that Bruce spends a year fighting crime as Batman for like, a year and a half at the most. There's only about a year between BB and TDK as Joker says. He then goes into hiding/retirement at the end of The Dark Knight and TDKR is like 8 years later. In the near-decade timeframe the Batman movies cover, Batman is barely Batman in it.

The justification being that with Dent as a symbol people would rally and clean up the city in a way that Batman couldn't.

Batman works because he makes himself a myth figure; not seeing him but knowing he's out there is more effective than seeing him every day.

I also wouldn't say it was directly after the end of TDK that he goes into hiding, they just say it was after the Dent Act gets passed which let them do the whole indefinite detention for mobsters thing.

I agree with Away All Goats. I know it's because they wanted Dent as a symbol, Batman as a myth and all that but it doesn't feel satisfying. It's hard to explain.

In an old Star Trek episode Abraham Lincoln appears in space for some reason. He asks Captain Kirk whether they still use minutes and seconds to measure time, and Kirk replies: "No, but we can convert." Later in the episode Kirk says some crazy space distance and it's in miles. So in the future seconds are out but miles are in? Bullshit.

I'm watching TDKR for the second time right now, and it's funny how Bane's speech changes in the middle of the loving scene because they obviously had to dub/ADR some of it. But I think that was prominent in TDK as well. Every main character should have been given strange voices just to keep things consistent. Definitely agree on no. 3 and 4. I can forgive Nolan for his giant plot holes because that's sort of expected by now, but technical stuff is just jarring.

To this day I don't understand what Bane says during the football stadium scene. Then again that scene is so goofy maybe it should have been left out.

Tom Hardy had three backup accents. One was Elmer Fudd but the director binned 'Goffams weckoning'.

I have not seen TDKR, but I'm starting to think I should just so I can understand what people mean by things like "the Bane voice." I get the feeling it's going to be a joke/complaint for a while.

They should have done something like the Hush storyline for TDKR. It could have been a story that focused on Bruce/Batman and could have displayed batman's detective skills while he's trying to find out who's sabotaging his life. They could even play off the public's attitude on Batman and still fit Talia in it.

I still think it's weird to have a movie about Bane and ignore the whole venom thing. I get that super muscle juice is pretty out there, but it's not really any worse than fear gas.

DC just can't handle how loving dumb comic books are and desperately tries to be gritty and realistic. I'm really curious how far they are taking this. Will someone finally get his arm ripped off like in every DC comic in the last year? How will they grit up Wonder Woman? Does the golden lasso decapitate everyone and the invisible plane carry Amazonian nukes?

That's the kind of voice you expect from someone handing out caramels at the old folks' home. It was actually based on Bartley Gorman, a gypsy bare-knuckle boxing champion. Adding to the Nolan-dubs, the opening heist in Dark Knight just sounds straight up weird. All the masked robbers are dubbed over and it sounds like they're reading their lines with no context.

What's weird is that what little I've seen of their recent tv shows (Arrow, Flash and even Gotham, especially in the latest episode) they've decided to stop resisting and just embrace the utter lunacy of the source material (Gorilla Grodd  ). The shows aren't great by any means, in fact they're pretty actively terrible in a lot of regards, but at least they don't seem to be embarrassed about where they come from.

It took a long goddamn time for Arrow to have and loving humor about itself. Also, Solomon Grundy is just a strong guy in a black mask? That worse than Black Canary not having sonic powers. Those little disks don't count. The Flash has actual super powers, why can't she?
