That's what I thought they were building up to at first. Just a smash cut to black, and I would have been thrilled by it, but it would have been too much like the ending to Inception.

I firmly believe that if Nolan didn't make Inception, he could have ended the scene that way and it would have been satisfactory to the viewer that Bruce Wayne lived on (a requirement by Warner Bros.) But, with Inception, people still believe that this was a dream/illusion by Alfred, despite him seeing Wayne with Selena which Alfred had no idea Wayne was involved with.

Because Nolan's Bat films act like they are very powerful and clever, but they just aren't imo.

The beauty of Nolan's blockbuster films is that you don't need your thinking cap on to enjoy them (hence the blockbuster appeal). But, if you have an acquired palette in literature, political science, psychology etc., it is very interesting to watch. Not to mention, the themes are easily accessible to viewers, such as overcoming fear (Batman Begins) and the will to survive (The Dark Knight Rises). Of course, there is nothing wrong with watching **** explode for two hours in a Michael Bay film. In fact, Nolan admires Michael Bay's action work and it is evident in this film.

I'm British as well but still found it very difficult to make out what he was saying at points. I really had to concentrate to understand each sentence, which makes it more difficult to enjoy the film. And there's no way that Bane even came close to the standard of the Joker, though that's mainly because the character was barely developed - the character was a bit one-dimensional, especially after the portrayal of Two-Face and the Joker in the previous film.

Standard of the Joker no not at all but as far as better performance hardy by far beat heath. Plus hardys still alive after the movie so thats 1 point for him.

I thought this pic was funny though. Must have worn the headpiece alot in the sun.

He wouldn't be able to jump period, not to mention perform an olympic long jump after having his back broken just a month prior.

I'm pretty sure he had been in the prison for nearly 4 months by the time he escaped. Gotham had been on lockdown for three months. This was stated in the film. Then at the point they said the bomb would explode in 23 days is where he makes his second attempt at the jump (if I remember correctly). Either way, he had been there at least three months as Bane put him there prior to really taking Gotham. And, not knowing the extent of the damage to his back, that may have been plenty of time to heal.

Oh yeah. It's a movie. A movie based on a comic book hero that leaps from the tops of skyscrapers with no parachute.

Overall, I thought the movie was awful -- easily the worst of the trilogy.

Hopefully Nolan sticks to original projects from now on.

Totally agree, this movie was not a Batman movie, only 2 action scene's with Bane, and 2 more fighting criminals, no gadgets were used (that?s what made batman, batman), half the movie all he does is him hovering with that new toy of his, no backstory to the catwomen, they suddenly become partners, I understand it?s a comic book movie, and I am a fan of the previous installments in this trilogy, but this movie was just ridiculous with the way they approached some of the scenes. I?m trying to recall if any Batman movie ever had the character fight in broad daylight like he has throughout this whole movie, the movie made him seem like he had super speed and bullet dodging abilities, which in the first installments, he used darkness, gadgets to get to enemies.

I think the movie pointed out that his back wasn't "broken" it was a slipped disc that the other guy basically jammed back in. Some people in here have had that experience and can tell you that after a few months or so you're back on your feet. Of course the time also depends on how fit someone is, and batman is fit so just go with that.

But yes, when bane took him down it was spring/summer in Gotham and when he makes it back we're obviously in the middle of winter etc, more than 1 month has passed for sure. The back problem shouldn't even be an issue compared to some of the other things you guys bring up.

I finally got to see TDKR yesterday, it was good & I liked it, even though there were some problems, granted it could've been much better. And, they basically set up a sequel that's never going to happen!

:laugh: I highly doubt Bane survived that shot from the Batpod. Afterall, the Batpod did actually blow up a Tumbler. lol.

I think he meant the actor was still alive, that's what I picked up on it

Same as that! Couldnt bare sitting in an uncomfortable cinema seat for that amount of time!

I'd rather pull of two and a half hours in the cinema than half a year to see the Bluray, but to each his own.

I really wanna see it again, speaking of the Bluray, when is it out?

    • Bypassed Windows 11 shows surprising stability on ancient, completely unsupported hardware

      By +Warwagon · Posted

      With the current hardware prices Microsoft should lift the restriction. Then if you have the correct TPM then allow you to use X feature, if you don't have the correct TPM then don't but still actually let you run windows. 11. With a disclaimer during install that X features would be unavailable.

      It's good for recycling of course. But commence inflation of a second hand RAM bubble and price gouging on DDR 4 inventory in 3... 2... 1...

      Bypassed Windows 11 shows surprising stability on ancient, completely unsupported hardware by Sayan Sen When Windows 11 was first released, one of the most complained-about issues with the new desktop Microsoft OS was its higher system requirements, which pushed many relatively modern and powerful processors and devices onto the officially unsupported list. Thankfully, they have not been updated again for the base OS, though systems require four times the memory and storage if they want to run AI-powered apps and features. As such, Windows 11 technically runs on 4GB of memory, and there is no imposed restriction on the generation of memory it supports. Speaking of memory, prices are extremely high nowadays for hardware, especially DDR5 and DDR4 kits due to the current silicon shortage, and there are also reports of it affecting DDR2 as well, and it might only be a matter of time before even DDR1 gets affected. Before that could happen, an enthusiast took an ancient DDR1-based system and decided to try out Windows 11 on it to see how well the modern OS would fare on such hardware. The system runs an outdated graphics card interface standard based on AGP, or Advanced Graphics Port, called AGP 3.0 or AGP8x. AGP was essentially succeeded by the modern PCI Express (PCIe) bus standard. The user behind the experiment is retro hardware enthusiast Omores, who built the system around an ASRock ConRoe865PE motherboard based on Intel's i865PE chipset from way back in 2003, around the time when AGP was still in fashion. What made this board special back in the day was its unusual support for newer Core 2 Duo and even Core 2 Quad processors while still retaining older DDR1 memory support and an AGP8X graphics slot, making it an ideal bridge or link between two vastly different generations. Powering the machine was Intel's Core 2 Quad Q6600 alongside 3GB of DDR1 RAM and an ATI Radeon HD 4650 AGP graphics card, one of the final and most capable GPUs released for the aging AGP interface. While installing Windows 11 itself was relatively easy by bypassing Microsoft's hardware checks, getting the graphics card fully functional proved to be some challenge. Microsoft had quietly dropped native AGP support after the earliest releases of Windows 10, meaning newer versions of Windows no longer include the necessary Graphics Address Remapping Table (GART) drivers required for proper AGP acceleration. Without them, AGP graphics cards typically boot up, though with limited functionality, and can often throw a Code 43 error in Device Manager. To work around the limitation, Omores extracted Intel's legacy AGP440 SYS driver from an early Windows 10 release and paired it with a modified INF file so Windows 11 would correctly recognize the chipset. Following this and combined with AMD's final 64-bit Catalyst AGP drivers from 2012, the Radeon HD 4650 was able to operate with full AGP 8X acceleration intact. The result was said to be surprisingly usable for hardware that is over two decades old. Hardware-accelerated H.264 video playback worked correctly and benefited apps like Firefox, while legacy applications and games ran without major graphical issues. The system also successfully completed the 3DMark 2001 benchmark, although performance naturally lagged behind what the same hardware achieves under Windows 7, which is significantly lighter than Windows 11. There was, however, one unavoidable limitation as Microsoft's Windows 11 version 24H2 introduces a mandatory SSE4.2 CPU instruction requirement that cannot be bypassed through installer modifications or registry tweaks. Since no AGP-era processor supports SSE4.2, Windows 11 version 23H2 effectively becomes the final release capable of running on such systems. Regardless, it is still a very cool feat and quite fascinating to see just how stable Windows 11 turned out to be on such unfamiliar hardware. Source: Omores (Patreon) via O_MORES (Reddit)

      That will only really help other players that are also responsible for creating the problem.

      Well, it's good to know that they have found a workaround to a problem that they helped create, I guess...
