With nolan, I can never guess where he will take the story - Batman could die, or get exposed, or both, or none!

My guess is that "Rises" stands for Batman reaching "maturity". That he will forcefully make gotham realize that "He is here to stay and his status is basically above the law so lets not bother with arresting him, because we may need him from time to time"
haha...

Just got back from MI 4, so that means I just got back from the 6 minute prologue for Dark Knight Rises.

Stunning, it looks awesome. The bad quality online vids of the scene don't give you 1 percent of how cool this movie is gonna be. You gotta check it out on IMAX. It was just awesome.

Only bad part was that it was extremely hard to hear what Bane was saying. I hope they do something about that, because he might as well have been speaking a different language, because I was lost.

July can't come soon enough.

Imagine an interrogation scene between Bane and Batman... I think we now know that it is not bane who will break the bat's back, but Gordon will break both of their backs because he couldn't understand a thing they were saying to each other.

From every article I read about the prologue, the complaint is always the same, and that's that you can't tell what Bane is saying.

Hopefully Nolan and co. take that to heart and go back and re-engineer some of the sound for Bane's voice (pending on if the whole movie is the same). Batman's voice may have been rubbish, but you could at least understand what he was saying.

I saw a matinee of Sherlock Holmes today but went in to watch the prologue right before it, I understood what he was saying

but I can see how a lot of people didn't

it sounds like someone doing a Sean Connery impersonation behind a mask

If you've ever wondered what Sean Connery would sound like as Darth Vader, this is the movie for you!

I saw the 6-min plane hijack clip at in IMAX before Mission Impossible this weekend and it was so awesome! Bane was kind of hard to understand though...

Based on the trailer I saw this weekend, I'm not at all confident that this one will live up to the standard of the first two. Looks like they fell into the trap of "needs more explosions".

Can I ask how you were able to hear words better than everyone else?

Not sure how anyone could watch that scene and not have any problems understanding every word that was said.

That was pretty sick, but then again, it would have been pretty hard to not get me jacked for this movie.

Well, the trailer certainly wasn't as memorable as the Dark Knight trailer, and it didn't do much to convince me of Hathaway as Catwoman, but it looked alright, I guess. I wasn't looking forward to the movie as much as some here (clearly), and I can't say that trailer got me any more pumped than I was before. More the epic music that was exciting than any of the scenes shown in particular.

I didn't think Bane's dialogue was THAT indecipherable.

Did you see the prologue? You can make out the odd word here and there and yeah, you can tell what he's trying to say, but the fact you have to strain to hear was frustrating. All the complaints about the prologue seem to be about that, so I know I'm not alone on this one.

With the amount of people expressing concern about being able to understand Bane I'm sure Nolan will go back and get that taken care of.

That post was about the trailer. I just watched the prologue, and you're right, it is pretty hard to understand. Sean Connery as Darth Vader is definitely the best way to describe it. Not very intimidating, to say the least.

I think it is a major leap make a reasonable assumption on the substance of the film by a leaked 6 minute sequence.

Who are you addressing and what assumption are you talking about here? I'm a little confused by your post.
