Okay, you. You just used a Tim Burton Batman film as a way to try to make your point that artistic license should not be questioned. Your credibility is flushed, and this conversation is over. Screw "Anyone who knows me knows I would never read a comic book" Tim Burton.

Miranda Tate should have stayed Miranda Tate, because that damn sure was not Talia Al Ghul. While I understand that to maintain the realistic, grounded look, concessions had to be made with Bane's appearance, there was absolutely ZERO excuse to destroy his origin of growing up in the pit and becoming what he was, other than just doing it so he could get that hack Talia twist over. No mention of Venom at all, yet we are to believe that he can punch through a concrete pillar without any problems. Excommunicated by Ra's Al Ghul. I nearly pissed myself laughing at that. Ra's Al Ghul found him to be a more worthy successor than Batman, who he had coveted for years. Im trying to understand why someone who is making a film based on such long standing, and high quality source material would go out of his way to make fans of this material sit wide eyed in a WTF moment. Talia is on the same level of not even close as Wolverine and Sabretooth being brothers in X MEN Origins, and The Sandman as Uncle Ben's Killer in Spider-Man 3. I guess its just too hard to take material that's already written and proven to be awesome and put in on the big screen, even for Christopher Nolan.

They want these films to touch the broadest base of people possible. Fanboys are a minority. Most people won't have an intimate knowledge of the source material.

For instance, i love comic book characters and this current run we are in of the comic book movies. BUt i dont read comic books or graphic novels so i cant say i know these side characters all that well if at all. Movies and books are two completely different mediums. Movie creators change original source material all the time, this is nothing new. Question for comic book fans: If you watched the first two Nolan Batman films, did you think he was gonna suddenly change direction and make something more comic book pure?

Like pretty much everyone else is saying, its easier to enjoy these films as a reimagining of the world of Batman than a completely loyal to the comics installation.
I personally won't complain about any of the characters he introduced in his world. He took some borderline ridiculous, seriously campy villains and grounded them in reality as much as possible. Did anyone really want to see a Bane similar to the one from the comics? We already saw that and that movie blew. |

I thought his voice sounded like Liam Neeson impersonating Sean Connery.
But I've also hated Bale's Batman voice since day 1.

now thats something they have tinkered with over the 3 films. I watched the first one last night and it was hardly tinerked with at all. When he was Batman, it sounded just like Bale. The last one was waay overdone. This one they toned it back down again.

I had to hold back laughter the first few times that Batman spoke in TDKR because all I could think about was Dany Pudi's perfect impersonation of that voice on Community, whenever Abed is pretending to be Batman.

There are going to be MANY different takes on any comic characters origin and backstories. I take these movies the same way I take the Frank Miller, All-Star Batman & Robin series. It's not canon (not that anything is anymore), but it's very entertaining series despite the obvious flaws. (Would have loved to hear Bale say that he's the 'Goddamned Batman' at least once in that voice). I agree that this last movie isn't the best one of the series, but if expect a better made comic film series than this, you're going to be waiting a long time. Nothing else comes close IMO. |
