Let's All Watch The Batman Trailer

[Stalydan]

Honestly Bob, I think you should have analysed The Hobbit trailer instead.

Woah! Woah! WOAH!

...THERE'S A HOBBIT TRAILER?!

Unbelievable. I become social active at Christmas and I miss out on this. That's it, my life is now based in Skyrim.

I'm amazed that people still use Apple's awful system for viewing trailers.

ak93]Nolan will probably kill Batman. I read somewhere that he is done with the series and doesn't want his version to continue.

And Sam Raimi didn't want to do Venom. Never underestimate the power of executive meddling.

Venom was that one part that spoiled the movie for me. The dark suit is cool but Venom could have been left for another sequel. Otherwise... I like Spider Man 3 xD It's a guilty pleasure xD

Except for dancing Peter Parker. Peter Parker should never dance.

Didn't al'Gul's cult have an earthquake machine? I seem to remember there being a plot where he intended to use such a device to make the Lazurus pits overflow and flood the earth. Either way, Bane uses it to blow up a football game. The part of me that remembers and is still bitter about my high school experience approves.

What is "everyone" calling it an earthquake machine/super powerful device? Upon seeing the trailer I simply assumed Bane placed explosives underneath the football field. Perhaps there is a subway/utility system beneath it and he blew up the support columns. The simplest answer is usually the correct one.

I want to know who put a subway/utility system underneath the football field xD It seems like a very inconvenient place to put it

Not "subway," but how about if the Stadium's parking garage, or at least a part of it, was located beneath the football field? Or maybe some piping for electric, gas, and water lines. There's at the very least the piping for the field's sprinkler system running under there. And you have to be able to get access to toe for maintenance and repair somehow. So who's to say Bane simply didn't place high explosives beneath the football field?

I'm just curious as to why "earthquake machine" is the speculation rather than "implosion due to controlled demolition?"

That trailer seemed very weak to me. I am no more interested in seeing the movie now than before.

Did you love the 2nd movie? If so, before you saw it, were the trailers inticing to you?

If you didn't love the 2nd one, then, no surprise you're not excited about this one.

I thought Nolan had really dropped the ball. His choice to play Joker seemed absurd to me. Then I saw the trailer and was hooked. Loved the movie. One of the very few I bought on Bluray.

In Nolan I trust. Both trailer have me interested. I'm thinking I'll love this one too.

I didn't say I didn't want to see the movie. It is #2 most anticipated movie for me right now (just behind The Avengers) and I loved the second movie in the series, it is one of my favorite movies of all time. But the trailers for it were kind of boring. They did not leave me anymore excited than before seeing them.

I think that the problem is Nolan movies in general. They are very smart movies and that just doesn't translate well into a trailer. The best parts of The Dark Knight were not the action parts. Also, I think he is very careful not to let the trailer spoil the movie. He doesn't let any of the really important things get given away. He withholds the best parts of the movie knowing that his name alone is enough to sell the movie.

These are both points in his favor. They make for a better movie overall, but for weak trailers in the meantime.

A much better preview of The Dark Knight was the bank robbery scene that was shown months before the official release date of the film, though it was only made available to the general public a week before. That was a very interesting scene that shows exactly why Nolan movies are great but it was nothing like a traditional 2 minute trailer.

I expect the movie to be great (though I doubt it can be as good as The Dark Knight) and I can't wait to see it, but the trailer was kind of boring to me.

This is promising. You didn't much care for DK trailer either, and loved DK.

I have to write, first time I saw Heath Ledger's Joker in the trailer, I knew I was in for something special.

I don't expect this to be better than DK, but I am extremely excited about it. I think it will be better than Begins and possibly = DK. As long as they don't kill Batman.

Although I know the film will be good, the trailer makes it look like the film will be shit.

It looks like a rehash of the last two films and Bane being a wellspoken body builder is well...lame. I want the venom filled monstrosity! There is also an air of pretenciousness emenating from it aswell, like Nolan has gone a bit George Lucas with success.

But it is a trailer afterall, albeit a bad one. The prologue thing aswell wasn't too brilliant either but yeh...I have faith.

Dude. Bane is a threat -because- he's vastly intelligent and well spoken. He's often very direct and to the point, but that's something else, really.

If Bane was merely a Venom filled monstrosity, he would have never been a big deal to Batman, and honestly, I really love that they're (supposedly) ending the franchise with him, really, one of the best Batman villains besides all his other villains. And a villain that has been butchered in games, shows and movies.

Moviebob, why do you hate Bane? Do you hate Bane because he's from the 90s? Is that it, man? Look, I hated Cable, Spawn, and the 90 BloodKillRipTears that were populating X-Men teams and Wildstorm, but Bane was a terrific character. He grew up his entire life in prison, with everything about him being all very Spartan and minimalistic, machismo mixed with paranoia and the sometimes very ugly will to survive. He's no different from the other psychos and socios that run around Gotham, but is treated as such because he isn't so randomly unbalanced and whimsically murderous like Joker, Scarecrow, Mad Hatter or the like. No, he's rather like a shark, so focused on one thing and one thing only, forever moving forward, waiting for the first opportunity to sink his teeth into what he wants and thrash it until it belongs to him.

Honestly, the biggest problem with Bane was that his plan went off without a hitch...that after he did it, there was no more real reason for him to exist. He got what he wanted, and thus faded from stories because there was no more reason for him to dominate the scene. It would be like if the X-Men actually did achieve the goal of getting Mutantkind accepted in the world. Well, any comics after that would be pointless, because they got what they wanted. There's no more reason to wear costumes, there's no more reason to fly around the world, hell, Xavier could probably sell most of the stuff he built under the school, because the reason for having it is no longer relevant. Well, that happened to Bane. He already proved he could break the Bat, so what is he gonna do? Keep rebreaking him? No, there's no point for that.

Really, it would have been best for the character if he, A, died after that and stayed dead, or B, actually became an ally of Batman because there was no more reason for there to be animosity between them. But, that's just me.

Anyway, Moviebob, Bane doesn't suck, ok? Ok, good. Finish your grapefruit juice, we're going to the IMAX in 12 minutes. Go make sure your sister gets ready.
