    That's devotion not even money can buy. Sent chills up my spine.

    It took me watching the Prologue so many times and the movie twice to finally realize the guy in the opening scene was Littlefinger from Game of thrones. /mindblown

    I saw it immediately, lol. I think I was attuned to it after the Joffrey/Batman Begins thing.

    He will always be Tommy Carcetti to me, no matter how much I enjoy Game of Thrones or how many seasons it goes.

    The concerns brought up here blow my mind. I mean, if you are going to complain about something, complain about the fact that Batman seemed to drag god knows how many barrels of gas around the city and spend time graffiting a building with his logo. All on the off chance that somebody will just so happen to walk to that part of the ice so they can light it up. Meanwhile there is a nuke about to go off in less then a day and time is critical.
    You know, that's hilarious. I never even thought about it, but seriously, can you imagine the manpower required to set up that logo? I laughed for a good ten minutes thinking about it. Well done Null

    Couldn't have said it better I loved this movie, and fuck the haters.

    Spoiler: show
    I love Nolan's cock-tease with this being the last "batman" movie, and can't wait for Batman and Robin. Only another 4 years Ugh, time to go freeze-time-travel

    If truth be told, the only thing that I am having so much trouble wrapping my head around is how the batcycle's wheels spin gyroscopicly, as well as Null's comments, lol

    Biggest plot hole was clearly assuming that Hines Ward could return anything for a touchdown.

    Also, loved it. Not the greatest movie ever or anything, but exactly what I wanted/expected.

    Well it did make a lot of money but he has said this is his last movie. It's also almost 100% Christian Bale won't be back. Lastly WB wants a JLA movie in 2014 and the Dark Knight just doesn't fit well with that world. So I don't know I definitely wouldn't necessarily hold my breath for another Nolan Batman movie.

    Tell your friend to get working on that shit, and hovercars. What the fuck is science doing nowadays that we don't have Jetson cars.

    Not sure how a Justice League movie will work, honestly I like Batman from DC over all other superheros but other then the Batman story and villains the rest of the DC universe can blow me.

    Nolan said he won't make another Batman. He's done with that character.

    I think that if they do intend on having a JLA movie, they need to A) Reboot Batman with a new actor and a quasi-origin tale (establish the new batman actor, but not necessarily tell the origin tale)

    B) make Man of Steel the starting point to the JLA/DC universe. Nolan + Stylized director = win for the DC universe. Nolan knows how to establish and maintain a character. All of his movies are character driven rather than plot driven. Fuck Face Zach Synder knows exactly how to maintain plot and style (see watchmen). I honestly think that the reboot of Batman will be soon and it will be extremely bad, like a clusterfuck (but absolutely important to JLA).



    At this point in time, Batman in the Nolanverse is not only done, but its unique and will never be recreated. Batman will undergo a typical change of actor, director, and producer to accommodate the style DC wants to go with for their JLA series. I will never think less of this series, despite its plot holes in every movie. However, I'm more excited for Man of Steel than DKR. Because I strongly believe in the standard Nolan has set for Batman. And I believe that if anyone agrees to try to reboot the Batman series, they have to OK it with Zach Synder (sadly).

    Joss Whedon will forever be Marvel's Avengers director. I think Zach Synder will be DC's.

    Also, reboot the watchmen.

    No. The movie was a solid effort, but fucked up in regards to a lot of the characterization/motivations portrayed. Knowing how much worse it could have been is the only reason I don't hate it.

    Having said that, I think so I wont rage like I did during the first the first watch through, I'm going to watch Batman and Robin before going back. Give subconscious some perspective on what it's bitching about.

    Nah man. If Ledger hadn't died, he would've probably had a huge role in the movie and we would've gotten a completely different end product. I'm glad Nolan left Joker alone, given the circumstances.

    While I completely agree, I find it jarring that they never even mentioned the Joker, at all. Harvey Dent this and that. But not one peep about the Joker. Unless I missed it.
