Batman 3 "The Dark Knight Rises"


Recommended Posts

you must be a nolan fanatic... thor didn't suck at all, either did captain.

It's down to opinions, but he is correct, the quality of the marvel films are not the same as the latest Batman films. The latest Batman films go much deeper where has the current marvel ones are more comical and less serious. It's all down to taste. I like both the Batman films and the Marvel films, but comparing them both, Batman is at higher quality.

^This

Very true. They could've done the same with Wolverine, going all dark and deep like they've done with Batman. So in that case, it also depends on what director/writer is at work for said movie.

I think it boils down to the Marvel films are vehicles for selling toys, promotions, tie-ins, etc. Heck the last 2 films (Thor + CapAmerica) were nothing more than pre-story for the upcoming Avengers - I felt they were poorly written and just too "obvious".

Apples and oranges.

Much of Marvel and even most of DC are metahumans - superpowered humanoids, alien or otherwise, whose stories are never going to be as grounded in "reality" or as serious as the stories about Batman, Hawkeye, Green Arrow etc. who are not superpowered.

Hell, Batman is just a modern high tech version of The Scarlet Pimpernel or Zorro - masked but very human avengers who date back to 1905 and 1919 repectively.

Thor had the absolute best "Superhero Moment" I've seen since I was

a kid. Growing up, every cartoon had "the moment" when the superhero

actually turned into the superhero: whether it was the lions coming together

to make Voltron, or Captain Marvel yelling, "Shazam!", etc. I haven't seen

anything that cool for a long, long time... so when Thor was lying in the

street about to die, and the hammer flared to life, and Thor started

changing... well, that was just awesome.

Warner is planning on showing a 6 minute prologue for The Dark Knight Rises with the early IMAX showing of Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol on December 16.

Apparently only on actual 70mm IMAX, not the stupid digital IMAX that theaters have been installing lately. There's only one true 70mm IMAX theater in my state, luckily it's not too far away.

There's also a report that in addition to the prologue being played before 70mm IMAX showings of "Mission Impossible" on December 16, that they will play a new trailer before the new "Sherlock Holmes" which is also getting released on December 16. I can't wait for December 16!

How do I find out about where the cameras are?

The other thing about Batman is that his villains are just as if not more iconic than he is. Only really Superman and to a lesser extent Spiderman come close, at least in pop culture.

"It's really all about finishing Batman and Bruce Wayne's story. We left him in a very precarious place. Perhaps surprisingly for some people, our story picks up quite a bit later, eight years after The Dark Knight. So he's an older Bruce Wayne; he's not in a great state.

Finally confirmed....

TDKR takes place 8 years after TDK, and the prequel is to fill in the gaps.

Warner Bros. Pictures? ?The Dark Knight Rises? ? the epic conclusion to filmmaker Christopher Nolan?s Batman trilogy ? is one of the most anticipated films of 2012, but moviegoers won?t have to wait until next year to see the six-minute opening sequence of the film. The film?s prologue will be unveiled exclusively in select 70mm IMAX? theatres worldwide. The announcement was made today by Dan Fellman, President of Domestic Distribution, and Veronika Kwan-Rubinek, President of International Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures.

The Prologue will be released in North America on December 16, and in the UK on December 21, 2011. Additional international dates vary by territory and will be announced soon.

In making the 2008 blockbuster ?The Dark Knight,? Nolan was the first to use IMAX? cameras in a major motion picture release, and, as now, audiences were given an advance look at that film?s prologue months prior to the Summer 2008 opening. Nolan employed the extremely high-resolution cameras even more extensively on ?The Dark Knight Rises??including the film?s prologue?to achieve unprecedented crispness and clarity and a truly immersive experience for the moviegoers.

Christopher Nolan stated, ?Our experience on ?The Dark Knight? shooting and projecting IMAX 15 perf 65mm/70mm film was inspiring. The immersive quality of the image goes beyond any other filmmaking tool available, and in revisiting Gotham, we were determined to shoot even more of the movie in this unique format. Giving the fans an early look at an IMAX sequence is a great way to draw attention to what I believe will be an incredible way to experience our story when it comes out next summer.?

I heard it was 7

Christopher Nolan said it was 8yrs in an interview. And it was confirmed like almost 2 weeks ago in SOOPRcow's post right above DocM's post, but it was hidden by spoiler tags (not really much of a spoiler, but I guess it could be if someone didn't want to know anything about the movie, then again, if that was the case why would they be reading this thread anyway lol.)

    • Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for seven more games as discounts continue by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There's a brand-new update rolling out to Nvidia's GeForce NOW streaming service, and like every week, that means more games have received support on the platform. This week's drop has additions like Aphelion and Pro Cycling Manager 26 attached to it. Don't forget that the GeForce NOW summer sale is still active too. This limited-time offer drops the 12-month Performance membership from $99.99 to $64.99, saving members $35. At the same time, the 12-month Ultimate membership is currently going for $129.99, dropping the price by $70 from the original $199.99. Moreover, Nvidia reiterated that support for GOG single sign-in and game library is incoming this summer, joining stores like Steam, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, and Xbox. "Connect supported game store accounts and stream titles with GeForce RTX power. Games that include cloud-save functionality help keep progress intact across devices," added the company. "Start a game on one screen, pick up where playtime left off on another, and spend less time managing installs and storage space." Here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: Embers of the Uncrowned Demo (New release on Steam, available 13) Pro Cycling Manager 26 (New release on Steam, available June 15) Aphelion (Steam) Citizen Sleeper (Epic Game Store, Free from June 18-25) Megastore Simulator (Steam) OPERATOR (Steam) Super Meat Boy 3D (Xbox, available on Game Pass) Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month, with extra time being purchasable in chunks.
    • 47% profit margin? Wtf!! I know companies are in business to make money but come on man. I know for a fact I'll never own one of these.
    • Most AI-powered mainframe migration vendors expected to fail by 2030, Gartner warns by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels You may have read that many companies still run code written in ancient programming languages like COBOL and pay a handsome sum for those who can maintain that code. Well, it looks like this area of the tech world could be the scene of an AI bubble. It turns out that there are mainframe exit vendors, helping companies move their legacy mainframe systems to modern cloud environments or servers such as Microsoft Azure and AWS, using generative AI tooling. Unfortunately, 75% of these vendors are now expected to pivot or cease operations as market realities take hold by 2030. Alessandro Galimberti from Gartner said: Some of the companies in the mainframe exit market are IBM, 21CS, BMC, Broadcom, Rocket Software, DXC, GTSG, and Kyndryl. The reasons some of these firms are expected to quit the market are a reset of market expectations and a decline in demand for one-size-fits-all migration solutions. The reset in expectations is likely to be driven by cost overruns and threats to business, and the potential occurrence of critical failures within businesses as a result of bad transition implementations. These insights from Gartner are pretty interesting because it’s a specific area of the market where doubt is being cast on generative AI. Many people have cast doubt on whether AI companies will successfully justify the massive amounts spent on GenAI to date, and this data from Gartner suggests the road could be rocky for GenAI.
