Collectively Marvel is far superior in producing Quality Movies.
It probably won't live up to my expectations, i fucking loved the dark knight.
I liked DK, but didn't love it. It felt like it was constantly building up for the first 2 hours, then the climax was kind of a let down. It didn't help that Rachel was unattractive and unappealing so I didn't care that she died, which ruined the significance of Bruce's decision for me.
Still, if you read the Knightfall arc of the Batman comics from the 1990s, and if this movie is based on those comics, this should be a great movie.
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
I loved TDK when I saw in in IMAX, but when I tried to rewatch it on bluray later, I honestly got bored.
So I won't get my hopes up, and ultimately enjoy this when I go to see it. I don't think it will disappoint, but I think I've finally got it in my head that these are more thought-provoking takes on Batman, rather than action extravaganzas.
Yup, exactly. And it's about time that take was done properly in a video format too because Batman is the kind of character in the kind of setting that is just begging to be portrayed in that light. Of the Christopher Nolan movies, the Dark Knight is tied with The Prestige for my favorite spot. So this third movie definitely has some high expectations.

If that's true "The Dark Knight Rises" wouldn't be a very accurate title...
You'd think that, but obviously the Batman can't die, so even after Knightfall, the Dark Knight Rises.

Rises obviously refers to Batman's recovery after his fight with Bane, and yes this movie is very obviously knightfall.
There is absolutely no way this movie is going to, in any way, appropriate the Knightfall story. There isn't going to be an alternate Batman, Bruce isn't going to get his back broken, and it isn't going to be a boring-ass "fight all your previous villains to get to the end boss" thing like Knightfall. The only thing it's appropriated from that story is the idea of the criminal counterpart to Batman embodied in both Catwoman and Bane.
You can clearly see Bane releasing all the inmates in the trailer, you can clearly see batman fighting them and getting tired, you can clearly see him fighting bane in less than peak condition; something is going to happen to bats in this movie, whether it's bane breaking his back or just beating the shit out of him doesn't really matter, all that matters is that bats is going to lose his first encounter with Bane.
I can't wait to see this movie. Thanks for sharing these trailers here at http://www.gotwoot.net
Maybe the best trailer so far:
Wow, looks pretty awesome. A little too chaotic though. I thought the second movie suffered from too much going on, and the editing got sloppy towards the middle so it cut from scene to scene without flow. Hopefully the story and action in DKR is more cohesive and flows better.
I love Michael Caine as Alfred.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again.
My boner is prepared.
I just re-watched most of Batman Begins and it has the same sporadic episodic jumping from scene to scene that I thought was poor editing in the Dark Knight. I had just forgotten that the same style was used in the first movie. Then I realized it might have been intentional on the part of Chris Nolan to mimic the comic-book panel-by-panel feel. If that is true, the man is a genius.

Im pretty sure it was intentional; the scenes still didnt leave you feeling like you missed out on anything.
Yeah at first I thought they were just trying to cram too much into the movie, but you're right, you don't miss anything for the short scenes. In some cases if they had drawn the scene out, it would have been bad or pointless. I thought some scenes could be cut out altogether like Rachel saving the little kid before Batman saves her.
Also, I think we can thank Tom fucking Cruise for not letting Katie Holmes play the Rachel Dawes character in the second movie. I think the biggest letdown in an otherwise awesome sequel was the swap of actresses for the Rachel character. Think what more that movie could have been if we had actually cared for the Rachel character.

Help me out here, there seems to be a contradiction.
Read: It's a good thing Katie Holmes wasn't allowed to reprise her role.
Read: The replacement (Maggie Gyllenhaal), made it worse, they should have stuck with Katie Holmes.I think the biggest letdown in an otherwise awesome sequel was the swap of actresses for the Rachel character.
Read: The movie would have been better if we were able to care about the character because the same actress was used. Katie Holmes should have kept the role.Think what more that movie could have been if we had actually cared for the Rachel character.
By the way, Gyllenhaal was vastly more believable as Rachel Dawes, who is supposed to be an Assistant District Attorney. Katie Holmes felt like a Dawson's Creek character pretending to be a law student in a high school play.
I thought referring to him as "Tom fucking Cruise" was enough to cast my remark in a sarcastic tone, especially considering all the shit in entertainment news about what a freak he is and how controlling and demented he is. So definitely I was being sarcastic and giving him shit for not letting Katie Holmes reprise her role in the 2nd movie.
I didn't watch much (any) Dawson's Creek so I didn't get that feel from her character. I haven't seen much of anything with Katie Holmes in it so her Dawes character was fine. And you could really feel the sincere affection and desire that Bruce Wayne felt for her in the first movie, though that might just have been Christian Bale being a badass actor. I didn't get that feel in the second movie.
