Batman 3 "The Dark Knight Rises"


Recommended Posts

The Dark Knight recieved a pg-13 certificate so comes as no surprise to me. 13 is a good rating, low enough to get a good mixed audience and fan base but also states there's going to be some fun action scenes!. Recently The Women in black got pg-13 too and many people thought it was quite spooky/scary, so it will be quite interesting to see how far Nolan has pushed the darker, more gritty scenes of The Dark Knight Rises.

I read a theory on cracked.com regarding how nolan will end the trilogy and i must say, it sounds very plausible to me. I don't want to link it here as even the url would give it away and if it is right then it would spoil the whole thing. If you are interested and don't mind a possible MAJOR spoiler then just google Advanced Batman Theory.

I'll leave you to decide this one.

I am so hyped/psyched about this one, that I haven't even watched the trailer. :laugh: :wacko: :shifty: :pinch:

I still don't get why it has to be a trilogy and why it has to end with this film. So many characters left unexplored. We saw just how good Nolan managed to do the Joker, imagine if he had scripted someone like the Riddler or Penguin. I certainly hope we havent seen the end of Batman come the end of this film.

Or better yet, how about it he had been allowed to actually use good characters in his scripts. Ok, Ras al Ghul was fine... but no Talia. The Joker (again). The best part of his movies really were the crime families.

I am pretty sick of Nolans flashy realistic Batman, and I felt The Dark Knight was quite poorly scripted.

I'd like to see someone else have a go with Batman now.

Any batman reboot (which these are) has to do the Joker, it's a given and this Joker was one of the best, though I think the Joker in the batman video games is closer to the comics but w/e. That said, I agree that we should go deeper into the universe than the movies have gone so far. But that means bringing in characters like Robin, and everyone here seems to knee jerk at that idea for some reason even though I think it can be done, and done well.

Talia would be great to have in a movie but as a character, in the universe, she doesn't come into play until a good time later, even in this 3rd film you couldn't introduce her before other characters, specially Catwoman. Now if they do a 4th later then Talia could be in that probably. But yeah, she's really one of the more newer characters so she'd be cutting in front of others, a lot of others.

The older movies were silly, too comical and for kids. Batman is best when he's dark imo. The new batman games have done a good job IMO, even story wise, but they're spot on character wise.

Nolan just stuck more to the Comics, lets face it. Comics are often very well thought out and bad issues can be slated a lot. Movies have typically took the character but not the other 90% of the comic, Nolan looked at his source material in depth to see what really makes the Character complete. In the end the Dark Knight felt like what Batman is suppose to be.

Watchmen is another good film, not dark knight level but above standard for comic book adaptations.

I haven't read the comic books, but have watched the previous ones, and in my opinion, Batman Begins was the was movie that defined Batman, and The Dark Knight was the movie that defined much more than just the genre. A whole generation, if you will

Well I would disagree. The Dark Knight didn't feel, to me, like what Batman is supposed to be; the style and atmosphere of the film is all wrong; alot of the performances were flat; and the story was poorly told. Oh and the editing was dreadful.

Watchmen is another good film, not dark knight level but above standard for comic book adaptations.

I'd have to disagree again. I felt Watchmen was pretty poor.

    • This is how much iPhone 18 Pro could cost after Apple's price hike confirmed by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Apple CEO Tim Cook confirmed in a recent interview that the company may have to raise prices on some of its products due to the ongoing memory shortage. While he did not elaborate on the scale of the price hikes, new estimates suggest that Pro iPhone models could become significantly more expensive this fall. The Wall Street Journal and research firm TechInsights have come up with an educated estimate of how much the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could cost after its launch in September. The estimate is based on current increases in memory and storage chip prices. For starters, the iPhone 18 Pro base model is expected to feature 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. According to TechInsights estimates, 12GB of DRAM for the iPhone 17 Pro cost Apple $39 last year. However, for the iPhone 18 Pro, the cost of the same amount of DRAM could soar to $145. Likewise, 256GB of flash storage that previously cost $13 could now cost around $51. Producing a base iPhone 17 Pro reportedly cost Apple around $582, but TechInsights estimates that the production cost of the iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $726. If Apple wants to maintain the roughly 47% profit margin it enjoys on the iPhone 17 Pro, the base price of the iPhone 18 Pro would need to reach $1,371. After standard pricing adjustments, customers could end up paying around $1,299 for the base model. However, that may not be the end of the story. As we previously reported, the iPhone 18 Pro is said to feature a variable-aperture lens, which could cost Apple at least 50% more than the current camera system. The estimated $1,299 price tag does not include the additional cost of this upgraded camera hardware. Once that expense is factored in, the base model could cost at least $1,399. A $1,399 price tag for the base iPhone 18 Pro would represent a significant increase over the current $1,099 starting price of the iPhone 17 Pro. If Apple wants to keep its upcoming iPhones competitive, it may need to accept lower profit margins.

    • Google Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer is leaving for OpenAI by Pradeep Viswanathan Noam Shazeer is best known as one of the co-authors of the 2017 “Attention Is All You Need” paper, which introduced the Transformer architecture that now powers most large language models. He also worked on several major Google AI projects, including LaMDA, before leaving the company in 2021 to co-found Character.AI. He also authored the Sparsely-gated Mixture of Experts (2016) paper, which is popular among the AI community. After falling behind OpenAI and Anthropic a couple of years ago, Google brought Shazeer back in 2024 as part of a major deal with Character.AI. Through this deal, along with Noam, several other researchers returned to Google DeepMind. More recently, he was a vice president of engineering at Google and a technical co-lead for Gemini. Today, Noam Shazeer announced on X that he is leaving Google and joining OpenAI. In his post, Shazeer said it was a difficult decision to move on, adding that he was proud of the Google team and what it had built together. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman welcomed the move with a post of his own, saying Shazeer was one of the people he had most wanted to work with since OpenAI’s early days. Google has made strong progress with Gemini over the past year, closing the gap with OpenAI in several areas. But losing Noam Shazeer is a major talent setback for them, especially after bringing him back less than two years ago by spending a fortune. For OpenAI, the hire adds one of the industry’s most experienced language model researchers to a team that is already pushing ahead with ChatGPT, Codex, and its next generation of frontier models.
