"Deshay Basara". Dunno which language it is in. Probably they just made it up. But the exterior of the pit was shot in Jodhpur, India.

finally saw TDKR today.
It was phenomenal, imo its pretty close to the previous 2, which already set very high standards.
I prolly need some time to pass to have better opinion though.

Not gonna give any spoilers, because I hate doing it.

I'll just say that the tone and atmosphere of the movie is as beautiful as TDK.
Bane's voice gives the goosebumps throughout the movie, similar to what the Joker did in the previous one.
Don't know if I even need to mention the score, Hans Zimmer delivers it once again beautifully!
Wasn't expecting much from Anne Hathaway, but she really surprised me as catwoman, pretty solid if not very good performance.

And ofc one last gratz to Nolan, for wrapping up the story perfectly.
TDKR is definitely as dark as previous 2. It carriers the story beautifully, delivering what we all expected.

Exactly...everyone thought Bane could not be compared to the Joker, but in the end, it was very close...the twist was very good..
Bale & freeman were perfect as usual..as far as anna ( catwoman) is concerned,  ..
Kudos to Nolan for making such a wonderful Franchise !!

The only negative part : there's no 4th one in the future..

there's too much talk about this movie and so i don't feel like watching it.......i keep postponing it week by week out of disinterest........these blockbusters after so much of talk and hype once i watch it in the theater most often disappoint me even though they actually match the hype........

[ashwin#1]

thats the lamest excuse i've ever heard..
i don't understand ..a lot of talk about some movie should make normal people get interested in it..

I don't like all the talk either. But if you avoid internet forums and such its pretty quiet 
Prior to watching the movie I successfully avoided all the teasers, trailers, pics, etc...

Also, I went to the theater 7 days after opening at 5pm to avoid the crowd, kids etc. So I came in there only to see around 10ppl in theater, hehe it was beautiful

It is a pity yes, but I think this trilogy is pretty much enough. 4th movie would seem too much.

On the other hand, Bane could be compared to the Joker, but TDKR can't be compared to TDK. It came pretty close, yes. But BB and TDK are still slightly better imo..

[FedFanForever]

Honestly TDKR was a huge disappointment compared to TDK. Bane was not as interesting as The Joker.

Mehh we all knew it would be impossible to top TDK, but TDKR is great for wrapping up the story beautifully.
Agreed Bane wasn't as interesting as the Joker, but thats only because most of the ppl see the Joker as the best villain in Batman world..

finally saw the movie........it was good........anne hathaway did a good job as a jewel thief and so did all the usual characters........i thought the whole movie was shot with imax cameras but only some part(30 mins or something) covered the full screen?


bane did a good job when it's not easy to live up to the expectations after the joker character in the previous movie........


bale as usual brilliant........i thought they could have ended the movie with the trademark bat stunt (as he carries that atom bomb over the sea, they should have shot a scene showing him escaping the aircraft with a massive bat stunt over the sea)........that would have truly rocked the climax........

I admit I'm a Nolan fangirl. Infact, I've watched TDKR about 9 times so far over the past month. 

Here's my opinion on the Joker vs Bane issue:

The Joker is possibly the most fascinating comic book villain of all time. His ideology is so attractive and so vague at the same time. And he had some really awesome dialogues to hook us in. But not for a second did I feel in TDK that he was scary. But Bane, on the other hand, is truly scary. Who else could lift Batman up so effortlessly and then break his back? Who else could match Batman punch for punch? In many ways, Bane and Bruce Wayne are mirrors of each other - both orphans, both trainees of the League of Shadows. The only real difference between them is their choice - Bruce rejected the philosophy of the LoS, while Bane embraced it.

i thought both are good in their own way........joker was not meant to be scary or funny but chaotic.......he himself calls himself the "agent of chaos"........bane was straightforward and his intentions were clear........joker was puzzling and himself doesn't know what he ultimately wants and that lead to curiosity among the audience back in 2008.......if you ask me to pick one over the other, i would pick joker.......

i also liked the dark knight better than the "rises"......."rises" lacked some good stunts which TDK had......."rises" also highlighted other characters more than the batman.......

i din't like a couple of scenes in the movie, they weaken "the batman".......bane getting bumped off by anne hathaway and batman fighting on the streets in daylight in one of those last scenes and nobody notices him.......

this, Bane was disappointing. I liked Batman Begins the most as a film.

[Imsda]

I have to say the one with the Joker was much better!

I just watched the 1963 version of Cleopatra. What an epic, 4 hours.

Wow 9 times? 

Well even as Batman 'fan', I really like Nolan's work. What he did(besides Batman) with Momento, Prestige, Inception etc is truly amazing.
Gotta give him credit for his lack of CGI and phenomenal directing.

The oddest thing is, movies I really really like, like Nolan's Batman Saga, Tim Burton's, 2001, Blade Runner etc I don't like watching on multiple times, especially in short period of time.
I like some time to pass before watching it again.

For example I watched TKDR only once, will watch it again, so I can see it in theaters for one more time before its released on blu ray.

As for the movie itself, I found it amazing. As I've said earlier it can't be better than previous 2, but we got to see yet another great story, acting and ultimately great trilogy.
The only problem I had with it, I wanted Batman to be more grounded, meaning less 'car chases' etc etc.

the dark knight will be remembered as the best film of the trilogy.........there is not a single trademark batman stunt in TDKR........they should have signed off the movie with a great stunt right at the end but they chose to end it very casually.........

like i said above in one of the posts, they should have included a great stunt at the end and changed those scenes where bane gets killed by hathaway (wtf?) and also batman fighting in the streets in daylight........the movie highlighted other characters more than the batman........
