Very emotional movie and excellent effort for the third in a great trilogy.
Well, Bane is supposed to be more physical than calculating (although he is still very smart), so I could see why they would go with that angle. I just wish they would make at least one more with BOTH Batman and Robin.

Its time they make a comedy Batman and Robin Movie in the spirit of the 1960s TV series. They've done the dark action drama angle to death and just can't offer any kind of new perspective to it. It would make tons of money and the costs to make it would be minimal compared to the special effects laden efforts they keep having to make.
They could even do a television series again. part of the series charm was that it was campy and had those guest stars portraying villains and doing cameos.

Totaly, completely agree. I thought the movie was awsome and kept thinking two different animals I can't say one is better than the other as I loved them for very different reasons.

Ok, overall TDKR was great but I had three issues with it:
1) I couldn't understand half the stuff Baine was saying
2) The music score drownded out the characters at some points in the movie.
3) Batmans deep voice is annoying.

I like how it all came together at the end though.

Slight spoiler!!!!!!























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?

Yes...you've answered your own question

I was very taken back by her. Didn't see that one coming.
