New Batman Movie Gets Title: The Dark Knight Rises

An example of someone that hasn't seen either movie, but just wants to say it's overrated because most people liked it.

Well Begins was much better all-round movie than Dark Knight was. Dark Knight started out VERY good but then got bad nearing the end. Dark Knight still was a decently good movie but entirely overrated. People who say Dark Knight is one of the best movies ever really need to see better movies.

christopher nolan + unlimited amounts of money + creative control = this will be AWESOME

I agree, also don't understand the hate on the title. It's a freaking title of the movie, not the script. Who cares.

Am I missing something, but wasn't the "Dark Knight Rises" a comic in where he was an old man that fights and beats superman and .....dies?

I think the name is rather off. Someone has to fall (in comics) before they rise when they have already, for the most part, risen......

I think that they could probably still do well with a super power or two. Clayface would make an interesting foe, and you would not be forced to keep any actor on to play him!

Crock is the other, but I think Clayface would be the one that would make the most interesting plot.

Poison Ivy is another, and lets not forget Raj al Gul? (sp).

The thing they should concentrate on, though, is cameos. Hint that this is part of the DC universe. Show superman flying by in the background, but do not make it obvious. Show Lex Luthor, or the Flash, or Aquaman on a monitor in the monitor array in the Bat Cave, doing an interview on CNNN, but do not put them front and center.

Some things they get right in these movies, like setting up the doctor in the spiderman movies. You KNOW he will become the lizard, but it works much better on a character you know than one they have to set up at the start of the movie because it is the first time some people have seen them.....

That would be about the dumbest thing ever to do for this series. Its so far from what these Batman movies are about and are trying to be its not funny. There aren't supposed to be "super powers" and such. It about *ahem* "normal" people. Not guys that come from distant planets with unearthly powers.

Note to comic book nerds: THESE MOVIES ARE NOT BASED OFF THE COMIC BOOK LORE NOR ARE THEY TRYING TO BE A COMIC BOOK.

And did you see The Dark Knight? He DOES fall at the end remember? He's the one that agrees to take the rap for all the bad shit that went down. Batman basically takes the blame and goes on the lamb at the end. He FELL. But I would assume that in this one he's needed, and has to come back and come back in good graces with the law and the people of the city... he has to "rise".

There's a lot of that and other fud in this thread it seems.
Hell hath no fury like a comicbook nerd scorn.

HA! I didn't even catch that in his post. Yeah he's really on-top of this.
