Robin John Blake is left the inheritance of Bruce Wayne which included a map to the bat cave. My only question is does he become the new Batman, Robin, or Nightwing? The kids are shown drawing a symbol in chalk similar to Batman's, and at the end of the movie Commissioner Gordon is shown doing something with the bat signal.

My guess was that Nightwing was more likely, with the other option him becoming the new Batman (remember, batman is a symbol that can be anyone). I don't think the character of "Robin" is likely at all (I think Blake might be too old to be "Robin" anyway).

I enjoyed it, the ending was a bit comic cliche but hey, its Batman. IMAX sounded fantasic and I thought Bane's voice was fine. Anne did a surprisingly good job with Catwoman as well, the cameos were simply icing. Not the best, but a strong ending to a great trilogy.

Some great trailers too, Man of Steel particularly, as was the 007 and Hobbit (though it was still at the low framerate).

I thought the same exact thing, especially since when Bane is

first talking about the bomb, he said "by my calculations it has 5 months before it goes off," indicating there was no sort of timer. Then all of a sudden when the movie needs it, the bomb has a timer.

Definitely thought that was a bit cheesy.

Overall it is a great movie though. My favorite overall of the trilogy actually. And I really, really liked the other 2 movies.

They could have some how triangulated the dissipation of the half life of the bomb using some sort of unknown tech. /s

How did he even know Bruce Wayne was Batman? We're supposed to believe it was because of the look in his eyes? It was the same with Bane finding his identity and the location of all his tech... yet not the Batcave. The audience was just expected to accept it at face value.

I assume that Bane knew all about Bruce and his armory from Ra's al Ghul and Talia. She was on Wayne Enterprise's board, so there's no telling what she had access to. I'm not sure who else knows about the Batcave besides Wayne, Alfred, and I think Fox. It's been a while since I saw the other two films.

Did anyone see the Man of Steel teaser in front of TDKR? DID YOU GET GOOSEBUMPS?

Man of Steel? Deadliest Catch more like :) Not worth seeing TDKR for that.

I've since come to terms with a few issues I had with the film, though really the irresolvable problem is the plot kinda stank (Though I don't think it treated the audience so overtly as dumb as Prometheus did).

SPOILER TAG THAT. Whether that's true or not, his character is quite important and people who haven't seen the movie yet may not want to know who he turns out to be or not :)

Not sure who edited my post, but is the kid really that important? Most people don't even know who I mentioned anyway. I didn't think he was rather important to the storyline, but I did think if it was true, that it was a cool Easter egg.

The more I think about this film, the more I enjoy it. I am definitely due for a second viewing. Heath Ledger's Joker cannot be matched, but I think The Dark Knight Rises is a superior film as a whole. But it is difficult to compare, since each film has a different genre and villain-type, which is why I enjoy Nolan's trilogy. Batman Begins was an origin story with a ninja fighter, The Dark Knight was a crime drama with psychological villain and The Dark Knight Rises is an epic war film with a brute villain. Batman Begins was totally different at the time, The Dark Knight featured the best villain portrayal of our time, and The Dark Knight Rises did what few films can - end a series with a bang. I also enjoy The Dark Knight Rises theme - the will to survive.

10/10

Saw it today, will be going back for IMAX next week. Overall, I really liked TDKR - I don't think Nolan could have ended it any better really. I really think DK set the bar too high, it wouldn't matter what Nolan came out with for TDKR. The first 5-10 minutes of DK alone are just insane. All the characters in TDKR were likeable and the performances were extremely good. Look out for the Rothelisberger-Hines Ward cameos :)

If I had to nitpick at one thing it would be the ending sequence. I really think the final scene with Alfred at the cafe would have been sooo much more impactful if they never showed Wayne/Kyle at the table. I just wanted to see him give a nod and a smile and cut to credit. Oh, I would have got goosebumps just from that!

Also, waaaayyy too many previews, geeez! Would have loved to just see the Man of Steel teaser then the movie start. And I would have loved to see the original audio cut with the original Bane audio. It just seemed a bit too "giddy" for me. Think they would do that for the Blu-Ray release?

I was thinking the same thing.

NO, you're not just supposed to believe it.....

Robin knew the location of due to the GPS and coords left to him in Wayne's 'will'...watch it again and you'll see that. As for Bane finding the location, that's quite obvious.....Miranda was given universal control over Wayne enterprises....and lest you forget, she was the 'Big Bad'!!!

I personally really liked the film...okay, the

timer on the bomb was a little old hat

but I thought it trod the line of Nolan's new Batman world (more character based) and the Batman/Villains we've come to know and love in years gone by or from comics....tough to have an arty flick (such as Nolan's direction) whilst keeping true to a comic. Also loved the ending...the whole point of that was to show that "Anyone can be Batman".

    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By +samw61 · Posted

      But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.

      Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.

    • This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600

      This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600 by Sayan Sen With the memory shortage that's prevalent nowadays, discounts are super-hard to get. As such we post good deals whenever they pop up. Recently, we covered a few great discounts on SSDs wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup NVMe PCIe Gen4 drive for just $400 thanks to a special coupon. If you want a faster product but don't need all that capacity, you can also opt for Samsung's 990 PRO 2TB that is on sale for its lowest price in over three months. Let's say though that you are on the hunt for a 1440p gaming card. In that case AMD's RX 9070 non-XT can help, and with its 16GB VRAM, you can also run AI models locally without worrying about bottlenecking (check out our recent 9070 GRE reviews for gaming and productivity to get an idea). The PowerColor Reaper variant of the RX 9070 is currently on sale for just $580 which is a very good price in the current state of affairs (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Reaper cooler on this 9070 uses a triple‑fan design with ring‑blade fans, paired with premium dual ball bearings to extend lifespan and reduce friction. "Intelligent" fan control allows the fans to remain idle at lower temperatures, only spinning up when the GPU is under load. A nickel‑plated copper base makes direct contact with both the GPU and memory modules, helping to spread heat evenly. PowerColor also applies Honeywell PTM7950 phase‑change thermal interface material (TIM), which fills microscopic gaps between the die and heatsink for more efficient thermal transfer. The fan shroud is shorter in height as the firm has made it such that it can be used in certain SFF (small form factor) cases. The technical specifications of the Reaper RX 9070 are given in the table below: Specification Value Stream Processors 3584 Units Video Memory 16GB GDDR6 Memory Speed 20.0 Gbps Memory Interface 256-bit Engine Clock Game Clock: up to 2070 MHz Boost Clock: up to 2520 MHz Bus Standard PCI Express 5.0 x16 Display Connectors 1 x HDMI 2.1b, 3 x DisplayPort 2.1a Maximum Resolution DisplayPort: 7680 × 4320 HDMI: 7680 × 4320 Board Dimensions 289mm × 111mm × 41mm 304mm × 127mm × 42mm (with bracket) Slot 2 Minimum System Power Requirement 600W Power Connectors Two 8-pin PCI Express Get the PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 at the links below (you get only a 90-day warranty on Woot): PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $579.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $700) PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $559.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
