That's Omnimax, and uses a curved screen, a smaller film, and a fisheye lens.. it wouldn't work for movies. But I remember going to Omnimax as Science World back in the day... man that was awesome! The intro part, where they talk about the side, and the sound system with the laser show and all that shit. Pretty cool! The first show I watched on it was about beavers, and that was in grade 4 I think, so.... 1988 or so?

Man of Steel and Nolan.

Spoiler!

No matter what, loved the movie. I almost wish Nolan wasn't done with the franchise.

Saw the movie today and it was definitely my favorite of the trilogy. I thought the pacing was excellent and although Bane wasn't as AMAZING a character as the Joker, you can't really expect him to be. The Joker is one of, if not the most developed villain in the Batman universe and it only makes sense for there to be a lot more depth to him. Bane has historically been depicted as a meathead who's all brawn, no brain. TDKR portrayed Bane a lot differently and I enjoyed it thoroughly.

The suspense in TDKR was pretty outstanding, and the last 10 or so minutes had me sort of speechless that it was all over, and I was really satisfied with the overall ending. Was a feeling I haven't had in a movie in a long, long time.

Spoiler!

Also, if you seriously think Bruce Wayne is dead at the end of it all, you are either retarded or did not pay attention at all.

Though, there has been a lot of speculation of JGL as Robin, that didn't feel right to me. Robin doesn't really fit into the world that Nolan has portrayed. I came home and did a little digging - this makes a lot more sense to me although it's purely speculation. Nightwing is a kickass character and definitely plugs into the current DK world than Robin.

A number of people have pointed out two things to me in regards to my last post on John Blake and The Dark Knight Rises, helpfully noting where my speculations may have gone astray.

1) Many of the plot points in Rises are pretty much taken from The Dark Knight Returns. Even though the Nolan trilogy is (somewhat loosely) based on the Knightfall sequence, elements of this last film were obviously harvested from Miller’s later work. So we probably won’t see a Returns film and almost certainly not a Nolan version of that film given Nolan’s own statements on being finished with the project.

2) It’s more likely that John Blake (played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt) will not be Batman as this is pretty confusing for audiences not already familiar with the various non-Bruce Wayne Batman characters. Instead, it’s possible we’ll see a Nightwing offshoot of this series, with Blake as Nightwing rather than Batman. There are several clues that might point to this.

First of all, Nightwing wears blue and black. In virtually every scene that Blake showed up in, whether in uniform or out of uniform, he is dressed in blue and black.

Meanwhile, both Batman and Nightwing have a similar aesthetic, making a transition from the Dark Knight films to a Nightwing franchise visually seamless. I don’t see Blake showing up in the batcave only to leave dressed in a gaudy Robin outfit. Much more likely to carry on in the dark hues of his predecessor.

Becoming Nightwing after being Batman’s “Robin” sidekick in Rises makes sense, since Dick Grayson (the original Nightwing) was also the original Robin before becoming Nightwing. This is set up perfectly in Rises.

Nightwing also serves as a bridge between the Batman and Superman comics in the DC universe. Given Nolan’s involvement in the upcoming Superman film, Man of Steel, this may be a way to even subtly weave these universes and stories together (even if it’s not explicitly done, i.e. we wouldn’t have to see Nightwing share screentime with Clark Kent.)

I’d definitely go see a Joseph Gordon-Levitt Nightwing film.

In fact, I like this theory more than the Blake-becomes-Batman theory (proving once again that many of this blog’s readers continue to outsmart me) if only because the Dark Knight trilogy was given such finality and handled with such dark grace.

I don’t want it to continue as a Batman story (though I really hope we don’t see a Batman reboot any time soon. The whole Spider Man reboot idea was awfully premature. Maybe taking a decade off would be a good idea.)

I doubt Nolan will take the helm on a Nightwing project, preferring to play a producer/writer role similar to his role with Superman.

How about you, dear readers? Would you see a Nightwing film with Gordon-Levitt as the star? Who would you put in the director’s chair?

P.S. Final thought: Doesn’t it just seem weird to bring in the character John Blake to begin with, three movies in, with someone solid like Gordon-Levitt in the role, and then end the way the film does without building toward something like this?

Nightwing? So basically a hetero version of Robin?

Haha pretty much. He was allowed to grow into an actual hero, whereas Robin remained a pussy.. always.

My ass hurts when people say this movie sucks without watching the other two batman movies...Some people dont even know this is the 3rd one when its advertised as the ending to the TRILOGY?

This movie by itself is one of the best in 2012...and if you include how it wraps up everything to nolan's batman it's fucking genius.

to those that are confused about bruce at the end...did you not watch the fucking movie? is watching and listening really that hard??

Apparently The Dark Knight is only 6 months after Batman Begins. So if you think about it, he wasn't Batman for that long at all.

Batman Begins took place over roughly 8 years (when he had his training, legally declared dead over 7 years), plus 6 months from BB to TDK(not including the time TDK took), then another 8 years between TDK and TDKR(peacetime in Gotham), and I believe another 6 months to a year passed during the events of TDKR. So in total, for the Nolan series, he was Batman for at least 9 years, 17 if you want to include the time he underwent training.

I think he meant..
Batman was active for less than a year (begins to tdk)
absent 8 years
came back for like 2 days (to fight bane)
absent for 5 months (shit snapped up)
returns for a day to finish the job

So really Batman was active for a only year
