Why did "Miranda Tate" have sex with Bruce Wayne? I've been a Batman fan for decades and know about the lover/enemy relationship between Talia and Bats, but Talia in the movie didn't even seem like she had any admiration or lust for Batman. Was it to weaken him before his big fight with Bane?
Batman & her had a son together at some point. She was one of the women that got past he's cold heart. Her name didn't ring any bells with me I can't believe I missed it.
I just watched it. Liked it, but didn't love it. IMO its the third best of the trilogy which stills means its good. TDK is the best and with batman begins being second. This really is third best IMO. Here were some issues.
1. Bane's voice. I couldn't understand him half the time, and then when Batman and him both spoke to each other, oh lord.
2. Speeches. Seriously, were all these speeches and rants necessary from Gordon and Alfred. I actually disliked Alfred and Gordon in this movie. Those numerous speeches they gave did nothing to the plot only make it drag.
3. Foley. One of the most pointless characters I have ever seen in a movie. He had way too much time for the role he played in this movie. He easily could have been eliminated from the movie and you wouldn't notice.
4. Dragging. This movie is long, and certain points dragged. This movie would have been a lot better if it was edited down by like 20 minutes or so.
5. Bloated plot. Yes it was.
The pros though:
1. Cat woman. Was pleasantly surprised by Hathaway. A very likable and interesting character.
2. Bane. Cool villain, pretty ruthless.
3. Overall entertaining and really provides a good end to the trilogy.
I liked it but I. Just think dark knight and batman begins we're significantly better.
Nolan has a thing for speeches that I find very annoying. Gordon, Alfred, and Lucius Fox all had speeches in The Dark Knight. Pacino speeched in Insomnia. In pivotal scenes, his characters tend to speak at one another rather than to one another. That, and Nolan's complete inability to direct a coherent fight scene are probably his biggest weaknesses as a director. It baffles that a man who directs such stunning chase scenes also directs such incoherent, boring fight scenes.
And Bale really should win a Razzy for Batman's voice. People are going to mock that for years. Deservedly so.
I can completely understand the direction of making Wayne's voice different from Batman's. But does Batman have to sound like Dirty Harry with strep throat and severe constipation?
Yes...you've answered your own question <-----This
I was very taken back by her. Didn't see that one coming.
Saw it coming a mile away; besides, how else was there to be a lead into future hookup with Batwoman during that comotion. I know it was just a kiss, but.
I'm with you all on the voice thing, couldn't make out a lot of what Bane was mumbling, don't much care for bat boy's voice either, but still very much enjoyed the movie way more than I expected. Was very pleased.
I thought it was good, but not great. Living up to the Dark Knight was a major challenge (thanks to Heath Ledger). Although I liked Bane's character, I never really thought of him as being strong enough to carry a major movie such as this one. Suffice to say, I think Riddler and Penguin would have been better choices for the audience to psycho-analyze, much like the Joker. Overall I was impressed with the structure of the storyline, but as someone else mentioned, it came off as a bit lengthier than it should have been.
Glad I'm not the only one who noticed the dialogue being drowned out by the effects or overly-dramatic music. I wasn't sure if it was the acoustics of the theater or the movie itself. If the latter is so, that entire sound-editing department should be tarred and feathered, and never let back in Hollywood. Either way, it was the most distracting aspect of the movie for me. I noticed it a little bit early on...and it just got worse as the movie progressed, and it took away from what I thought was a so-so movie in the first place. Seriously, this is a majorly anticipated blockbuster, and you can't get the sound right? There were a few Bane lines that I missed, but he wasn't that bad overall.
As for the other aspects of the movie? So-so. I deeply loved The Dark Knight...hell, I feel like a Star Wars geek saying that the first one was good, the second one was GREAT, and the third one lacked. I enjoyed the way it ended, but the rest of the movie struck me as over-ambitious and unfocused. Anne Hathaway kicked ass though.
Oh, and I didn't mind Batman's voice...mostly because I found it comical at times.
Favorite line from The Dark Knight? "I'M NOT WEARING HOCKEY PADS!"
Favorite line from this one? "WHERE'S THE TRIGGER?! WHERE'S THE TRIGGER?! WHERE'S THE TRIGGER!?!?!"
I've never understood the affection for the Riddler. He's always struck me as the most juvenile of all the Batman villains. When you play it for laughs (Frank Gorshin, Jim Carrey) it can work. But for these more serious stories? It wouldn't work. He's just too goofy.

I know it was just a kiss, but.
