tbh, the only superhero movie I'm looking forward to this year is Spider-Man. I'm sure Avengers is going to be fun and Batman is going to be great, but the Spider-Man reboot is the only one that holds my interest.
If anything I can't wait for this to come out so Nolan's Batmans can finally be done with and we can get some real Batman movies coming out. I'm going to love it, but I'm going to hate it.

If I haven't mentioned it enough, The Avengers is the one I'm looking forward to the most. Then Amazing Spider-Man, and finally Dark Knight Rises. If anything I can't wait for this to come out so Nolan's Batmans can finally be done with and we can get some real Batman movies coming out. I'm going to love it, but I'm going to hate it. Batman Begins & The Dark Knight were nice to see what Batman would be like in the real world, but I'm looking forward to the eventual reboot too. I just hope the next set of Batman movies are in the same universe as Man of Steel, so we can have a Justice League movie on the horizon. |

I'm thinking about giving this a miss. Bane and Catwoman wouldn't hold my attention for almost three hours normally, so having two actors I can't stand portraying them is going to be a nightmare.

Well, I was going to come on here and say what I thought about the movie. Then I found out the Colorado massacre. Honestly. What the fuck is wrong with people? I just don't see what would make an idea like that pop into someone's head, let alone actually go through with it. And the sad thing is there are still people like this walking around that just haven't acted on their thoughts. That's really scary. Can't even go to a Summer movie with some friends without worrying about some psycho loser douchebag shooting up the place. Makes me sick. 14 shot dead at 'Dark Knight Rises' screening in Aurora, Colorado
At least 14 people were killed early Friday when at least one gunman opened fire at a midnight screening of the summer blockbuster "The Dark Knight Rises" near Denver, authorities and witnesses said.
Aurora police chief Dan Oates told reporters that 10 people died at the scene and four others died after being taken to local hospitals. At least 50 other people were injured, Oates said.
One suspect was apprehended in the shopping center's parking lot, Oates said.
The incident occurred in the Century 16 Movie Theaters at the Aurora Town Center, police told NBC News. Aurora is a suburb less than 10 miles east of downtown Denver.
NBC station KUSA-Denver cited a witness as seeing a black-clad 6-foot-tall man wearing a riot helmet, goggles and bullet-proof vest. The witness and her boyfriend crawled to the emergency exit, KUSA said.
The suspect was found in possession of a gas mask and two firearms, Oates said. Ammunition was found in the suspect's car, police said.
The police chief said there was no evidence of additional shooters.
The suspect's apartment building in north Aurora was evacuated after the suspect made a statement to police about possible explosives at his home, Oates said.
Witnesses told reporters that gunfire erupted during a shootout scene.
Brenda Stuart, of 850 KOA radio, told Sky News that "a lot of people thought the gunshots were part of the movie."
Tear gas also went off in the theater, Stuart said. She added that bullets had passed from one theater into an adjoining one.
One young man told KUSA that he was out front of the theater with friends when the shooting broke out.
"Next thing you know you hear 'boom' like tear gas, a bomb. ... Then you hear gunshots go off, like a fully automatic weapon. [There were] like 50-60 gunshots," he told KUSA.
"I was just worried about getting out of there," he told KUSA.
The man, who did not give his name, said he heard gunfire continue for at least 20 minutes.
"People were coming out of there screaming, some of the people were coming out of there bleeding. ... People were coming out with their shirts covered in blood," he said.
As he left the theater, eyewitness Hayden Miller told KUSA said people ran up to him and said "there was a gunman setting off bombs and shooting people. ... He wasn't giving anyone a chance to get out ... It hasn't really hit me. I’m in shock. it’s insane that this can happen in a movie theater where people had gone to have fun."
Another eyewitness, whose name was not given, told KUSA that he "saw at least 4, maybe 5 people limping, slightly wounded. ... I saw one girl covered in blood.
"I don’t know whose little girl that was, but my heart goes out to them. ... A cop came walking through the front door ... holding a little girl in his arms and she wasn't moving, she wasn't moving," the young man, whose voiced cracked as he spoke, told KUSA.
The Denver Post quoted witness, Bejamin Fernandez, 30, as saying that people ran from the theater as shots rang out.
Fernandez told the Post that he saw people falling, including one young girl.
Salina Jordan, 19, who was in Theater 8, told the Post she saw one girl struck in the cheek and others in the stomach, including a girl who looked to be around 9 years old.
Jordan told the Post that someone ran into her theater yelling, "they're shooting out here!" An alarm came on, Jordan said, announcing there was a "murder in [the] theater."
Jordan told the newspaper she saw police carrying bodies out of the theater as well as officers opening fire.
Local emergency crews from several cities, including Denver and Boulder, converged on the scene, Stuart told Sky News.
Cathy Canzanora, a 911 dispatcher, told NBC News that emergency dispatchers were deluged with calls from "everybody who had cellphones in the theater" at 12:39 a.m. Friday local time (2:39 a.m. ET).
The dispatcher said she could not reveal what people told her but said that they reported "that there had been a shooting so we got the police and the fire department and the ambulance there as soon as they could."
The injured were being transported to several local hospitals, police told NBC.
KOA's Stuart said that police officers were taking victims to hospitals in their cars and not waiting for ambulances.
Justin Bentzinger, a house supervisor at the Swedish Medical Center, told NBC News they were treating three patients. Two were in critical condition, the third was in fair condition.
Kalena Wilkinson, a public information officer for Denver Health, said six patients were taken to that hospital, with one in a critical condition and the other five in " fair" conditions.
Tracy Weise, of the public relations department at Aurora Medical Center, told NBC News they were treating 12 patients with a range of injuries from minor to critical.
"We have a variety of ages, quite a few 20s, teenagers, that kind of age," she said.
Jacque Montgomery, a spokesperson for University of Colorado Hospital, told NBC News that they were treating 20 patients from the shooting.
"Injuries range from minor to severe gunshot injuries," she said.
"The majority are adults. ... I know we have a handful of teenagers," Montgomery added.
Hundreds of witnesses who have not been injured have been taken to Gateway High School for a debriefing, local media reported.
"The Dark Knight Rises," starring Christian Bale and Anne Hathaway, is the latest in the popular Batman action movie franchise. Friday was its international premiere. |

Okay, so, I'm not going to mention any spoilers, not even in the tag because those are too tempting to read. So with that said, this is easily the worst of the 3 movies. I love Batman Begins, it's my 2nd favorite Batman movie. Dark Knight, although extremely overrated and not a great Batman film, was still very good. This one is good, but good lord does it drag on in the middle.
It's the longest of the three, and really really didn't need to be. Yet at the same time felt somewhat rushed. Bane can NOT carry a film on his own, and his voice is extremely loud and inaudible. You can understand maybe 70% of what he says the whole film, and usually figure out what he said by hearing other characters responses. And his voice rumbles and echos throughout the theater, as if he's talking out of a PA system instead of just a guy on screen with a mask. Didn't like it at all.
The shining light in this movie is Anne Hathaway as Catwoman.... for the maybe 30 minutes of screentime she has in a 3 hour movie. I had high hopes and extreme doubts, but in the end, she pulled off Catwoman great, considering the bland character Nolan had written. I think if giving the proper backstory, screentime, and dialog, Hathatway would have pulled off a great Catwoman. But Nolan really didn't give her much to work with at all. But like I said, her few moments she has to shine, she does. Marion Cotillard wasn't in a single trailer for the film, but probably has more screentime than Anne all together. But she's also good and I liked her character, aswell as Joseph Gordon-Leviit. In fact he's probably the 2nd best thing about the film after Catwoman.
There are lots and lots of twists and surprises throughout the movie, half of which are very predictable but still fun to watch. And there are lots of mark out moments for fans straight out of the comic books. This movie could've done without a large chuck of nothing in the middle, but the ending saved it from being a total snoozefest and wrapped up the trilogy pretty well.
Overall I'd give it maybe a 7. It's not bad at all, but it's not the greatest movie ever made. A must see for any Batman fan, and if you liked the Nolan trilogy you'll obviously like this one too. But it's a disappointment after the last two.
Side note: Superman had a pretty shitastic trailer that drew crickets from my crowd. Which I find hilarious cause they were all going apeshit just 30 seconds before for the Hobbit. It looks very..... Nolan.

Oh but wait. I can't possibly leave that review without mentioning my biggest pet peeve in the Nolan series. Gotham City. Part of the reason I love Begins is because Nolan got a modern Gotham down great. He did a great job of hiding Chicago by deleting, adding, and editing buildings to make the city look real, but unrecognizable as a real world city. The sky scrapers, the slums, the docks, Wayne Tower and the trains. Everything was perfect. The Dark Knight, he didn't even try to hide Chicago. It was Chicago. Batman even jumped off the damn Sears Tower for fuck sake. Looked absolutely nothing like Gotham City. But Nolan semi got away with it because Chicago isn't that recognizable as a city to most that haven't been there or seen it alot.
But in this one, Nolan doesn't even try to hide that they filmed this movie in New York Fucking City. Possibly the most recognizable city in the world. If you're gonna pick a city to model Gotham after, New York is the one to do it sure. But when you're doing long shots of the whole island, at the very least take out the Chrysler Building, the MetLife Building, Central Park... the fucking Empire State Building. Nolan just did not give a fuck this time at all. This movie does not take place in Gotham City. It takes place in New York. Which is evident the whole time, and really takes you out of the movie. Especially since two other huge Superhero movies just took place in that same city. Batman without Gotham just does not work.

I'm going to see this on Wednesday with a couple of friends. I'm really not looking forward to it, and now that you've confirmed my suspicions about Bane not being able to carry the movie, I'm looking forward to it even less.
I keep hearing that it's better than The Avengers, but if there's a huge part of the movie that isn't needed, a crappy villain, and a lack of attention to detail, I really can't see it beating it.
