Batman: The Dark Knight Rises, Showin' Joel Schumacher how it's done! Options

Saw it two nights ago with a friend and holy sheyit did we love it. Seriously, and problems were negligable, and Bane was an incredible villain, even if he sounded like a mix between Yoda and Sean Connery talking into a small plastic cup.

The Hub released that trailer the same day as TDKR.

So I'm pretty much convinced that The Hub is just the best network ever.

So is this a revival of BAS? An animated adaption of The Dark Knight Rises that just borrows the art style? By the way, while it does look great, BAS Batman just doesn't feel right without Kevin Conroy.

That is the second dumbest thing in some time you said after you confused Limbaugh for a former vice president.
It is just a commercial. HUB hired the voice actors from back then or just copypasted their voices to repeat the lines from the Dark Knight trailer and put them over the old show material. Why? Because B:TAS is running on the HUB for some time by now and like an intelligent television station they are going to exploit Batman`s popularity right now by promoting their show.

Fuck, I need to stop talking. Still, it's pretty cool that they're doing that.

The spelling is totally fucked, but I still very much agree with the message.


I finally saw DKR the night before last, and I was not disappointed. There were a handful of things about the movie that bugged me—more so than the previous two films—but the overall package was so damn tight and entertaining that I hesitate to even bring them up. The performances were incredibly strong across the board, to the point where I think Tom Hardy made me feel even more foolish for initially doubting him than Heath Ledger did (I will never question Nolan's casting decisions ever again). The plot raised the stakes to just about the highest level you could imagine and still resolved everything in a way that was emotionally and logically satisfying; two days later, I still can't think of a single thing I would have changed about the last twenty minutes of the movie. As for Bruce Wayne's fakeout death, I thought it was suitably convincing given that this was obviously the last piece of the story and the writers had nothing to lose by not leaving the doors open for a sequel. Besides, it's very apparent by that point in the movie that Bruce is just about done being Batman, regardless of whether or not he survives.

I can't honestly say that DKR was my favorite film out of the three, but it was a hell of a good summer blockbuster that made for a worthy third act to one of the best trilogies of the decade. The fact that it managed to meet the standard set by the first two installments is a pretty remarkable accomplishment in my opinion.
