The Dark Knight Rises

I very much doubt the Clayface thing. And I doubt the Mr. Freeze one had any intention other than just reminding the audience once again that Bruce Wayne had been a recluse for a very long time.

[Tyrath]

Yeah, only noticed the Croc one first time around. Cool to see these. Just like there was a catwoman reference in the 2nd movie.

I was just watching The Dark Knight. The part where Joker says, "They'll show ya, when the chips are down, these... civilized people, they'll eat each other. I'm not a monster, I'm just ahead of the curve" reminded me of the whole class warfare in Rising. I'm trying to decide if it's legit foreshadowing or if it's simply vague enough that it could be applied to anything.

[Fhloston]

lol @Clayface theory. They clearly state that Daggett's body was found in a dumpster. I do agree though that Bane did more than just snap his neck. Who knows..

I think the only intentional one was Killer Croc. Seems like everybody is trying to make more then what it really is with the others.

Maybe with Clayface. But I really don't think a cryosleep mention is such a stretch for Mr Freeze.

Since I sort of started this... I was only referring to Bane's strength. He crushed his face with his hand. They cut out the part cause it's too gruesome.

... I do agree though that Bane did more than just snap his neck. Who knows..

^ hence it being more than something quick and simple like the other stuff seen throughout the film.

I like to think so along with other similar phrases in the first one.

GQ: I remember one scene where we see his face covered in bandages, is this what you're referring to?

Lindy Hemming: Well, if you look at the film, unless they've cut it—and I'm sure they haven't—there's a whole early section for Tom Hardy where he's fighting and being taunted by people. He's got chains on him, and he's standing on a wooden thing while people are attacking him. And in that scene, he's wearing a much more ragged, primitive version of the mask.

GQ: I think that Bane scene must've been cut...

Lindy Hemming: Well that's an awful shame, but I suppose you have to cut things. I won't elaborate on it too much, because it isn't in the film, but there was another section that showed you why he had the mask and where it came from.

Those scars we're never in the film, all you could see was hardy's bacne.

[SephYuyX]

I wonder what are the chances of a Christopher Nolan Batman Trilogy coming out are.

[Tyrath]

DVD/Blu Ray you mean?

[SephYuyX]

Bluray. Like the Avengers one.

[Delirium]

I wonder what are the chances of a Christopher Nolan Batman Trilogy coming out are.

around 100% chance.

[SephYuyX]

Probably. Im more worried about it coming out a year+ later after Rises gets released on BluRay.

[Tyrath]

I'm going to hold off on buying Rises until then. If i really get the urge to see the movie for a 5th time, gonna pirate until the trilogy is out.

When they bring comm gordon into the sewers you see the fulls scars

[Tyrath]

Just rumors for now but I will be fucking stoked if its true.

Will There Be a Director’s Cut of ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ on Blu-ray?

A rumor has begun circulating that the Blu-ray release of Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises will contain “about thirty minutes” of additional footage, expanding the origin of Bane and adding more detail to other scenes.

Please be aware that this article contains MAJOR SPOILERS for the film.

Nuke The Fridge is the originator of the report, and even they say state that it is a rumor; however, they do seem quite certain that Christopher Nolan’s Batman film will be extended for its home release – a Nolan first.

Last month we reported that the film’s costume designer, Lindy Hemming had said that there was more footage of Bane’s origin set to be featured in the film, but it appeared to be cut at the last minute. Hemming is quoted as saying:

“There’s a whole early section for Tom Hardy where he’s fighting and being taunted by people. He’s got chains on him, and he’s standing on a wooden thing while people are attacking him. And in that scene, he’s wearing a much more ragged, primitive version of the mask.”

Nuke The Fridge also states that Liam Neeson’s Ra’s Al Ghul will get more screen time in this extended version as well – although the context is unknown.

Christopher Nolan isn’t a director to compromise on his vision, at least not at this stage in his career, so if he was forced to cut anything then it may have been sorely for technical reasons. The Dark Knight Rises is 165 minutes long, the maximum length that a film can be shown on IMAX, so it is possible that the director had to remove certain sequences to meet this limit – or possibly studio pressure (as longer movies can be intimidating for some viewers). The Blu-ray release would therefore be the perfect opportunity to show this additional footage.

Nolans TDKR directors cut

The Dark Knight Rises is a long movie, even though it moves at a rapid pace, and certainly the second half of the film (where these scenes would be placed) does appear to have been tightened in the editing room. It’s safe to assume that if (and it’s a big if) thirty minutes of footage is integrated back into the film then it will feature more than just scenes of Bane and Ra’s Al Ghul. There could potentially be more footage of an isolated Gotham City, and more scenes featuring Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) recuperating under Tom Conti’s watchful eye. This is pure speculation on my part, but many viewers felt as if the second half of The Dark Knight Rises needed a bit more room to breathe.

Thirty minutes leaves a lot of room for what Nolan can add to the film, but I don’t think that it can be called a “director’s cut.” Nolan has final cut on his movies, and anything that was edited out was more than likely his decision. If a new version of The Dark Knight Rises is released on Blu-ray, then it’ll fall more in the “extended edition” category.

The Dark Knight Rises has currently grossed over $1 billion at the global box office (out grossing The Dark Knight), and while some saw it as the perfect conclusion to Nolan’s Batman trilogy (myself included), others were left disappointed by Tom Hardy’s Bane, and certain plot inconsistencies. Could thirty minutes of extra footage solve these problems?

Time will tell – if this rumor is indeed true.

[Tajin]

Disappointed by Bane wtf.

Hoping the rumor is true.

[Cichy]

I dont think even additional 30 min can make this movie not suck
