I haaaaate when people design superhero costumes with high heels built into them. You can't very well jump from rooftop to rooftop when your shoes are gonna break if you do. Well how else are you going to know she's the hot girl, duh.

Not gonna lie, Catwomans crap design has dampened a lot of my enthusiasm for this one.

I've FINALLY figured out what bugs me the most about Catwoman's costume. It's that her long ass hair is exposed. How is she supposed to get away with thieving when she'll inevitably leave long strands of hair around?
Not to mention, i just saw new pictures of her with short hair which I would have liked so much more for the role.

I liked it well enough. I just don't understand why they're so long - nothing wrong with long movies, but these drag in parts. There's so much they could have cut, and it would have helped. Also thought it was lazy that they just kept plugging JGL into every situation. Like, this police force doesn't have a second detective? This kid is the only person responding to calls, driving higher ups around, etc? Other than that, I thought they nailed almost everything else. I liked the tone, thought the first fight scene in the cage was really awesome. I'm glad I forgot the spoiler that Marion Cotillard was Talia al Ghul until after it happened, otherwise I'd have been pissed about it ruining the big reveal at the end.

Not to mention he only became a detective after Gordon told him he was. Besides that he was just another rookie cop wanting to actually do good. Of course they were gonna plug him in.

Okay, here are my actual thoughts on the movie. I thought it was excellent, but not quite as good as TDK. I actually think this one feels the most comic-booky of the three, and I liked that about it. Bane is a great villain, and, IMO, the most terrifying. Anne Hathaway is fantastic, and her character is surprisingly well-written. I think the pacing and structure are off at times (particularly in the beginning and middle). JGL's character is cool too, and it's almost as much his movie as it is Batman/Bruce Wayne's. -I agree with Justin: I'm REALLY glad I forgot about Marion Cotillard being Talia. I didn't think anything of it when it was "announced", because I guess I assumed that it was something the audience would know from the outset. I'm also glad I was too engrossed with the movie to put the pieces together about Ras' "child" in the pit. My obliviousness can come in handy sometimes, haha. That whole reveal scene was really great, though I wonder how it played to people who aren't as well-versed in Batman lore.
-I was also really surprised that Bane broke Batman so early in the film. That whole scene was awesome, and Bane is terrifying as you quickly realize that he's unstoppable.
-One of the biggest disappointments was how Bane went out like a punk, but I guess I see how it was necessary to keep the plot moving along.
-The Robin thing was really corny and heavy-handed. I think it would have been better if his name had been Dick Grayson. Non-comic fans wouldn't have gotten it, but screw it.

Watch the Dark Knight again; only thing that really held it together was Ledger's performance (and Nolan's directing). Plotting, storyline and overall bad ideas nearly made it fall apart.

Absolutely loved all of the pro-Bush sentiments and gun control "jokes", even getting Gary Oldman to look like Donald Rumsfeld for a little bit in one of the early scenes.

but WHAT IF a terrorist with incredible amounts of money and huge support and an army of 3 million men and the ability to travel around the world unopposed and secret corporate world connections somehow took over an entire city and turned an imaginary device into an atomic bomb that could decimate an entire city and ruled the area by fear? THEN YOU'D WANT SOMEONE WATERBOARDING CIVILIANS WITHOUT ANY DUE PROCESS, WOULDNT YOU

I very thoroughly loved it. All of it hahahah. Had a ton of fun watching it. I'm glad I forgot the spoiler that Marion Cotillard was Talia al Ghul until after it happened, otherwise I'd have been pissed about it ruining the big reveal at the end. Oh man that would suck. Somehow the closest I came to a spoiler was about Anne Hathaway's heels hahahha. Who I thought was fantastic. That whole reveal scene was really great, though I wonder how it played to people who aren't as well-versed in Batman lore. I'm really really familiar with a lot of it but also don't know a lot of details, like I know next to nothing about Ra's al Ghul, so everything being said there was completely new information for me hahahah. I believed exactly what they wanted me to believe. Who the kid was an all, I mean. But probably my favorite thing about that scene was when it flashed back to her escaping the pit and it showed all of Tom Hardy's face for about half a second because the entire goddamn movie I was trying to figure out how that was him. I knew it was, but with that mask on I just couldn't recognize him at ALL. So I was just happy to recognize Bane for half a second hahahha. Frustrating as hell. How uncomfortable that mask must have been though, judas. I just kept looking at the skin bulge on his cheeks, he must have been miserable filming with that thing on. He was so terrifying though, judas. -The Robin thing was really corny and heavy-handed. I think it would have been better if his name had been Dick Grayson. Non-comic fans wouldn't have gotten it, but screw it. Eh, I loved it hahahha. I agree about naming him Dick Grayson though, that would have been way more subtle (well.. sorta you know what I mean hahahah)/a lot better. But I was still happy with it.
OH and I loved that Cillian Murphy showed up one more time hahahhaah. Most of the theater cracked up.

It was okay. I think a lot of the impact was lost on me because I couldn't understand a damn thing Bane said. I missed at least a third of his lines, especially when he had actual speeches.
Selina Kyle and Drake were cool. Still really hate Selina's 'Catwoman' costume. Mostly the shoes. And the hair. And the shoes.
Awesome ending though.

I heard a lot of people complaining about Bane's voice, I got about 90% of what he said...

Yeah same here. I missed a line or two but I could say that about any of the characters. There's something Blake said that made half the theater laugh and I didn't catch a word of the line.
I was impressed with how clear he sounded with the mask on, actually.

I was impressed with how clear he sounded with the mask on, actually. See, I felt the opposite. I could understand what he was saying easily, but that's because of all the post-production stuff they did. It almost seemed like his voice was just blaring over the speakers, and not actually originating from within the movie, if that makes any sense? Like it didn't feel organic.

That's fair enough, but I can't say I noticed. It's just because movies in theaters are so loud all the time it feels like I'm being screamed at from all sides anyway hahahah. I can't remember what he sounded like well enough to say after the fact how it sounded either way. Just that, at least last night, to me it didn't sound that way any more than any of the other voices. Also I don't really do a lot of critiquing on movies I had as much fun watching as that one so my judgement isn't really unbiased hahhaah. But now that I'm thinking on it super hard I can hear it how you say it sounded hahah.

You could definitely tell that a lot of it was over-dubbed, but it didn't bother me.
Man, there are a lot of people on the internet nitpicking the hell out of this movie. And most of their nitpicks can be legitimately answered with "because he's Batman."

Yeah I have harder time believing that every cop would stay loyal in the face of certain death than I do that Batman has a magic helicopter.
I can't believe there's a whole to do about it being anti-protest, because to me the whole series of films plays like "our options are doing nothing about slow corruptive rot, attacking it and making it retaliate even worse, or replacing with something which will eventually become just as bad."

Yeah, Bane was definitely ADR'd and it did bother me a bit. I felt like it took him out of the 'reality' as silly as that sounds.
I was confused as to why the cops were still clean and more or less perky after being trapped in a sewer for three months.
Cillian Murphy turning up was great.
