Uhmmm, do you even have to ask?!

[Ricky]

I might. But it's on my phone so I'll have to e-mail it to myself first.

Here's a few more until then:





I got one of the shirts she's holding along with keychains and posters.

So...who is the poor guy who gets to stand in the blazing heat in a batman costume, probably not moving or talking much?

Seriously, Ricky, those pics are really cool. I want to see them, now...

Oh well. It's not like there's gonna be any midnight screenings for the other comic book movie I'm looking forward to, so I'm not too bothered.

OMG! RICKY HAS AN ARM!!!!!!!!!

I've been thinking about how a certain character could be involved. Warning, this could be a pretty big spoiler.

Spoiler:

This is how I'd like to see the League tied to Bane.



Ra's Al Ghul leads the League against Bane's home town and destroys it for whatever reason. Bane's father was a League target; later an older Bane returned to join the League. He was accepted in, and participated in a mission that resulted in the fire that nearly incapacitated him.



He used the League's resources to create his anesthetic as well as the apparatus. During the course of his research to create the gas, Bane sowed dissent in the League. Finally, after gathering enough followers to his cause--from within the League and without (among those towns and cities targeted by the League)--Bane defected, taking a large number of the LOS with him.



Later, when Talia gathered reports about Bane's activities, she and the LOS members left reunited and traced his schemes to their culmination in Gotham City. Thus she traveled to Gotham and infiltrated Wayne Enterprises. Here she hoped to convince Bruce to resume his father's endevours on behalf of Gotham's citizens.



This would make it harder for Bane to gather followers from Gotham's downtrodden and incite revolution. This appears to succeed, until Bane gathers evidence against Gotham's police force that would implicate Dent in the murders Batman took credit for.



Thus, Talia is forced to supply Bane with WE Tumblers etc. in order to get into his good graces, in hopes of being able to assassinate him and either retake the League or execute those who followed Bane.

Very, very good theory Empath ...

The theater I go to is having the AMC Dark Knight trilogy on July 19th, but I can't decide if I want to go! I'm all for watching them all back-to-back, but I religiously stay away from movies on opening night to avoid stupid people and rowdy crowds.

[Empath of the White]

New trailer:

[fernandito]

jaysus ... my mind ... i can't even .... I CAN'T WAIT

[Ricky]

NEW trailer?

Before I watch, does it feature any clips that may be spoilery?

[Empath of the White]

Nothing spoilery at all. I read that there's an embargo on reviews that's going to be lifted on June 29th. Between that date and the 20th, I'm going cold turkey on this.

Something interesting I noticed from some spy videos taken during filming is that Gary Oldman had a few scenes in winter Gotham with

Spoiler:

Marion Cotillard. In the trailer where you see some of Bane's mercs firing on a walkway spanning a large, crowded room, you can see JGL and Marion Cotillard's character shrinking into the shadows.

.

[fernandito]

Yeah, the trailers has given some pretty strong clues as to how things will play out ...

spoiler-speculation!

In one of the TV spots, we see Catwoman (I heard she's never referred to as such during the film, wtf?) is seen backing away slowly from prison style bars, a look of regret on her face...

In this latest trailer, Batman backing is looking across those very same bars with a look of dumb realization on his face, and we see Bane slowly sneaking of behind him. I'm guessing Catwoman will help Bane lure Bats out at the beginning of the film so that he can have him all to himself.

PS -

WE'RE ONLY ONE MONTH AWAY !

[beam*seeker]

Is this going to follow the KnightFall story?

[fernandito]

It's not going to follow it verbatim, but yes it will be heavily influenced by it.

[Merlin1958]

It's not going to follow it verbatim, but yes it will be heavily influenced by it.

Where's the best place to get a cliff notes on this "Knightfall" story? I don't mind spoilers and it may help get me through the NEXT FREAKING MONTH!!!!
