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?

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By cleverclogs · Posted

      Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?

      Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?

    • Password Safe 3.72.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.
