Dark Knight Rises Trailer #3

he HAS to right? i mean, that's like his only function as a villain right?

One would think...

But this is not an adaptation of Knightfall and It would take GIANT balls on Nolan's part to go down that road with folks who havent read the comics over the years.

I read somewhere it was loosely based on The Long Halloween, but that was a while ago.

The Long Halloween would be what The Dark Knight was based on. It's a storyline involving Two Face and the Joker.

Honestly, I think that JGL will be Dick Grayson, whether or not that means he's Robin or not, I doubt it. There could be some kind of storyline where Dick Grayson just becomes Nightwing to take the place of Batman, without there ever being a Robin. The scene with the kid drawing the bat (it looks an awful lot like Nightwing's bird), and asking if he's coming back, makes me think that JGL will become Nightwing.

Also, it definitely looks like Bruce Wayne is hobbling at the beginning of the trailer. I'm sure Bane is going to break his back.

Ah good call. Been a while since I've read it.

Who do you think that guy who shoves someone at 1:17 is? One of Bane's goons or someone important?

To answer sort of my own question, this article looks like it could be pretty right on as far as the direction of the movie. Just an opinion/prediction piece, but I'm thinking it's right. That trailor has a lot of hints in it IMO.

I can get on board for this. I doubt the studios stop making movies when they make tons of money. JGL is a better actor than Bale is anyway.

Yeah I'm thinking (and maybe even hoping now), that Bruce Wayne is "killed off". JGL finishes Bane off and a new series can begin if they choose with Nightwing, Robin, whatever direction they go for. Never read any of the comics other than Wiki summaries so no clue what would really make sense.

    • People are using this "three year period" to gloss over the reality that he was very mid last year and in Purdy's case, "last year" means 40% of his starts. I don't "hate" Purdy, I just think he's a very middle of the pack starter and you can't pay those guys $50M+ a year. GMs and coaches can because they just want to keep their jobs. But as a fanbase if you're wanting to compete for SBs, ugh... you're basically resigning yourself to mediocrity with decisions like this. 
    • Unless a miracle happens and we're legit SB contenders, I want to just miss the playoffs due to some close losses, not win the division to lose in the first round. We finally have all of our picks again next year, I'd rather be picking 5-7 spots higher in each round, while at the same time, then having a 2nd or 3rd place schedule next year instead of a 1st place one. I just can't see any scenario where we are true contenders this year, but we should find out if Bryce can be our QB of the future.  If he isn't, then we're not making the playoffs anyways and will have a high pick to replace him.  If he is, it means 2026 is the real opening of our SB window once we add some more defensive pieces, so I'd rather go into that season picking earlier and have an easier schedule. And yes, I know people will say think like "you need to win to gain confidence and experience, blah blah blah" But just missing out on the playoffs because you lost couple close games is certainly a way to make a team hungry going into the offseason and keep them motivated to be better. I've said it before and still think it holds true, we need to look at the Lions and hope to repeat their path. Our last few years were their early 2020s when they sucked.  This year can be our version of their 2022 when they missed the playoffs in week 17.  Then our 2026 can be their 2023 when they made a run to the NFC Championship game (and really should have won it).  Which then puts us in line to be one of the best teams in the league going into 2027, as they were last year.
    • Hmmmmm, sounds like a familiar fear And sure, a big part of my fear was the injury concern (that will always follow Bryce around) but the everything else I said is the same. If he's too good to let walk in FA but not good enough to justify a top end contract, we're in the worst possible situation
