THE DARK KNIGHT RISES: New Images Of "The Bat" & Bane's Mysterious Device

The Bat is basically the Bat-Copter rather than the Batwing.

I actually really like the design and never thought that it was ever meant to be a plane.

I think Nolan grew up on 60's Batman and his life's goal is to wipe it out...

Is that a pic of Harvey Dent that bane's holding?? Hmmmmmm

"gives PILOTS"

Catwoman will be Batman's sidekick in this!

@AlSimmons maybe he's explaining what really happened with Harvey? I don't know.

For some weird reason, I'm just not as excited for this as I was for The Dark Knight or Begins. I wish I was more excited.

SHH describes the device as a Fusion Reactor. And we know that Miranda Tate is interested in "clean energy" -- and as a board member, can direct the company towards developing the technology. Doctor Pavel could easily reverse the process so the device could function as a weapon.

Fusion Reactors leak radiation, and Gordon has been seen carrying a tablet-device, possibly tracking it with "energy expert" Tate.

@AlSimmons -- I guess you're late on the info?

I've figured something out about TDKR.
Now, this realisation should be given serious credence, as I came about it whilst watching Young Sherlock Holmes, today. So it may aswell have come from the mouth of Christiphor Nolan.
I realised two things:
1 - Young Sherlock Holmes wants to be Temple of Doom a little bit too much.
2 - Marion Cottilard is not Talia. She is Nyssa.

SO BASICALLY SHOOT THOSE LITTLE TWO PISS ANT BOAT PROPS UNDERNEATH "the bat" AND IT WILL STOP HOVERING....LOL!!! RIDICULOUS!

@Catwoman1 I'm pretty sure they will fly it together.. It even shows Batman and Catwoman both strapping into the Bat in the trailer..
She even says "My mother warned me about getting into cars with strange men" and he replies "This isn't a car"...

@Darkmetal - So you have seen TDKR? Spoilers please! Does Batman die?

@ralfinader TDKR is obviously on the level of the other 2 films. Which will be confirmed to those in doubt in just 3 weeks.
@MCUFan1 Nolan's Batman is a bit more complex than DC comics. The conclusion involves Bruce Waynes realization that his reaction to the murder of his parents made his life worse not better.
Levitt's John Blake isn't going to go from a cop to suiting up as Batman. At that point Batman would be just a costume as in DC comics were they have so many Batmen, its a franchise.

Intruder @ green lantern/batman avatar right here. Not going anywhere. Intruder sounds a little worried now.

@Intruder

I would like my fight with you to be the subject of a film.

Call it Troll Vs. Wonderer

And you know what? MY BODY IS READY.

Bring up all your complaints about the film right here right now....

and I'll prove how Nolans Bat Trilogy is actually more accurate than Marvels Cinematic Universe.

I'll prove how MOST, cause I have changes I disagree with, of his changes were for the better.

So come on, don't insult my character. Don't pussy out and start insulting me. This has nothing to do with me or you. It has to do with outright lying and trolling.

So lets do this, your move

@angus666 (what i'm saying here is not specifically aimed at you but at the people who moan and complain since last year's summer): you've been watching spoilers like these here for almost a year now and gotten so used to it by now that there's no element of surprise left. I told everyone back then "don't look at stuff before it's officially released" but you people had to do it anyway; It's not very respectful towards cinema as an artform and it ruins the cinematic experience for you. Why do you guys need to see stuff in advance? should we all agree that if you look at spoilers on the internet you don't get to complain about how your expectations are not as high as you'd hoped? because THAT'S what spoilers do to you.

IF yuo are hating on this movie watch the footage that was shown at the mtv awards this will crush avengers at the box office

-.-

Everyone has their favorite bit of Batman gear. The Batwing was mine. You can't go from the sleek, stylish and functional form, to this:



THAT is Nolan's source of inspiration, despite the VTOL rockets and cockpit. Say what you want, this kicks ass for Terminator flicks, but sucks for Batman.

@thewonderer The Thunder will roll right over the big 2 1/2. :)

@yoss

Batman didn't kill Ras

A premeditated murder is to

"Think out or plan a murder"

Batman didn't plan to kill him, he planned to STOP him. And Batman didn't put Ras on the train. Ras got himself there. If anything, Gordons the murderer for blowing down the train legs.

If you think about it, Batman didn't need to be on that train with Ras. All that had to happen was those train legs being destroyed.

As for Two Face, I personally would call it an accident. It was a mistake.

But moreso, remember Wayne gives up being Batman for 8 years because of it. Consider this first kill of his the end of Batman. Its only when Bane rises up, that he must come back. He has to. Thats what TDKR is about. Can Wayne just come back as "Batman" after breaking his one rule?


@IM53

To be honest dude, I live in Miami but am probably the only non basketball fan here. I could care less. Still, there are times I feel bad for not caring. So, no betting, but I hope the Heat win

The Batwing or 'The Bat' is outfitted with some nice weapons, for sure.

I'm just not too crazy about that actual design of it.

@Darkhaven I agree with you. It looks kind of clunky, and isn't exactly aerodynamic.

This is the Batwing to me:

Heh, the Batwing is too dark in that picture I posted up.



There we go. That's much better. :)

@yoss That scene always bugs the hell out me in Batman Begins. Batman could have easily saved Ra's. When I saw that in the theaters, I knew right then and there, Nolan's Batman wasn't the same Batman from the comics.

If he was written as Batman in the comics, well, we wouldn't even be talking about this.

I want to like it, I really do. But the Bat just looks like a dropship from the Sulaco, only smaller and far less streamlined. I'm not comparing it to Marvel's stuff, I just... you would think a billion dollars would buy a cooler design. Police and mercenary extras alike are going to be looking awestruck because it's scripted - and we're expected to follow suit.

@thewonderer


Jaime Foxx: "You killed him?"
Tom Cruise: "No, I shot him. The bullets and the fall killed him."

Clear something up for me, because I although I've seen it about a dozen times, I still don't remember - who is it that repeatedly stabs/sabotages the train controls? Is it Ra's or Batman?

Also, with Dent planned as the DA for The Dark Knight, why would it be unthinkable to lock Ra's up? Truthfully, what would likely happen is that he would have agents either break him out or have him transferred to another city or state, where he would be broken out/released by a carefully planned mistrial.

Still, in No Man's Land, with the entire city of Gotham more or less destroyed (Arkham gone, Blackgate a mess), Batman still finds a way to lock up the crazies.

@yossarian

It wasn't Batman that killed Ras and Two Face. It was gravity's fault.

don't mind Intruder.

he was touched as a child
