THE DARK KNIGHT RISES (2012) | MOVIE REACTION

I just love that Danny Glover caught a completely random stray in this video

Thats how u know gotham aint shit, they moved to Cleveland, best movie commentary in the game sir bravo

[@ChronicallyJuan]

I'll never forget watching this movie in theaters. I remember being so nervous seeing this movie in theaters. The reason why is because my dad, my sister, and I saw this movie the day after the horrible tragedy that happened in Colorado. My dad, sister, and I went to our local cinema for the 11:00 AM showing of The Dark Knight Rises and the whole theater from the auditorium to where they were playing the movie to the concession stands where people got snacks was full of people to see The Dark Knight Rises. On top of that, the whole parking lot was surrounded with police cars. I just remember everybody in line talking about what happened in Colorado. Everyone in line had this look on their faces like they were scared. Whenever someone had to go to the bathroom or get snacks, they would go with whoever they came along with. Also, whenever the auditorium door opened (it was closed during the movie), people would turn their heads to make sure it wasn't anything suspicious. It was a very tense experience and everyone felt the same way.

[@dj-dt1vv]

I watched it in a smaller city. I was dying for it to come out but bc of that incident I waited an entire month. There was 3 ppl there. One being my brother. Me. And another guy. I can't remember how many times I looked at that other guy to make sure he wasn't gonna be crazy. Never seen nothing like that smh

[@ZandrickKrowe]

I watched it opening night, and it wasn’t until we got out of the movie that I realized what had happened.

[@monicamaza5843]

That was one of the best bleeps ever! Also, I cracked up when J said he recognized that football stadium 😂

[@maximillianosaben]

I already know Michael Caine is going to make me cry.

[@thereisnopandemic]

The only way he or any actor can make me cry is by smashing my toes with a hammer.

[@KHAOE1]

09:50 he got knees worse than Danny Glover 😂😂 and 14:35 I don't know if you knew but that's "Joker" from Full Metal Jacket.

[@SuperstarSS44]

I mentioned that when he watched Full Metal Jacket,don’t know if he saw the comment

[@sabadodomingo1293]

Btw, the way Bane stands with his hands by his collar is bc he’s always got a plate carrier on. A lot of people stand like that when wearing kevlar vests/ plate carriers. It’s actually more comfortable than standing with your hands by your side

[@NandR]

Yep. Many hours upon hours standing watch with that on. Plus I couldn’t put my hands in my pockets.

[@maximillianosaben]

It's also a flex pose for the cameras though. But practically, spot on. It is more comfortable; similar reason, in general, why people like putting their hands in their pockets with hoodies.

[@spartan_warrior5927]

I was always proud that I caught this little gem. In their first fight Bane said “I didn’t see the light till I was already a man”. I knew then he wasn’t the child.

[@highlander31527]

23:07 It's a common stance for people who wear the armor Bane does. I had two deployments in four years before I saw this movie. The way Bane moved and stood is exactly how we did with fifty pounds of body armor. Even some of his fighting made sense to me. People joke about Goku wearing weighted training clothes. It's not a joke, and adding 30-50 pounds to yourself to move around in will massively increase your cardio and strength training. Don't throw a dumbbell on your back, instead add 5-10 pounds on each body part and don't remove it. You'll burn a ridiculous amount of calories, and add a ton of muscle.

[@Cyber_Samurai20]

Yeah! I actually started putting my bench bress weights in a hiking back and ruck with it for about an hour a day. it's tiring but I'm on a weight loss journey so it's worth it.

[@steves2241]

Hey J and Blank, have you guys watched the movie called Equilibrium from 2002 with Christian Bale, it's a pretty cool movie. Christian Bales does some Gun-Kata in it that is amazing.

Looking forward to more great games.

I can say I was surprised to find out who bane was

[@technofilejr3401]

A lot of people were also shocked at how short Tom Hardy is

[@adrianharrell87]

20:44, I heard that there was supposed to be a scene where Bane and his mercs storm Blackgate prison to free the prisoners and while they were open up the cells and freeing the prisoners, Bane came across a cell. He looked inside and saw the Joker. They stare at each other for a minute and Bane walked off, continuing to free the prisoners but left Joker locked in his cell, hinting that he knew about the Joker and the things he did and realized that he to much of a wildcard and couldn't be trusted to let out.

[@samwallaceart288]

@JL another fun reaction :) loved your discussion after too. @EOM Another great choice.

[@maximillianosaben]

It's not mentioned in the movie what happened to Joker, though the novelization of the movie does suggest where he is. "Now that the Dent Act had made it all but impossible for the city’s criminals to cop an insanity plea, it (Blackgate Prison) had replaced Arkham Asylum as a preferred location for imprisoning both convicted and suspected felons. The worst of the worst were sent here, except for the Joker, who, rumor had it, was locked away as Arkham’s sole remaining inmate. Or perhaps he had escaped. Nobody was really sure. Not even Selina." (Nolan chose not to mention or address Joker out of respect for Heath Ledger, and didn't want to make any false spectacle over the real-life tragic passing.)

[@KindredKeepsake]

That's actually a pretty unsettling story! Especially with the thought of the Joker laughing, all alone in a padded cell. *Alone in the entire asylum, at that...* That's probably the worst punishment for a guy like him. No audience around.

[@sportstalk23]

Scarecrow is the only villain that appeared in all 3 Nolan films.

[@soulseeker19781]

IMO, the first fight scene between Batman and Bane is one of the best and most brutal fight scenes put to film.

[@technofilejr3401]

As a long time Batman fan that beating was hard to see. The little 8 year old comic book nerd in me was like “Please Batman get up! Get up! Fight back you are Batman”

i loved anne as catwoman in this. i don't think she got enough credit. she was sexy, sly & classy. she played it so well. and i liked this movie much better than the first. i guess i get why others don't but i definitely enjoyed the story & acting more in this than the first. dark knight being my #1. 🤓

I'm always belly laughing at the choices in what is used to censor the murder whistle. The bane mask is the best one yet not even close. Can we get a compilation of the best ofs?

[@Wildcat_Media]

For me, Anne Hathaway’s Catwoman was the biggest surprise in this movie. I didn’t think she would be terrible by any means, but I was surprised how much I liked her take on the character. I’d watch another movie with her as Catwoman, sure.

[@DonRoccoRicardo]

You're kinda wrong. It was a "nod" to Robin. Blake was still going to become the new Batman. The theme of the trilogy was that anyone could be Batman... And The Batman was a symbol that would live forever. This is not my opinion this is Christopher Nolan's own description of events.

[@seecha8970]

[@technofilejr3401]

30:04 Love the part where the bats come out. I agree the bats definitely are there to empower him. Up until now he has been Bruce Wayne acting as Batman. His identity is really Batman acting as Bruce Wayne. I always imagine in their little bat brains they are saying “Welcome back brother! We are with you now become vengeance”

[@chernobog1351]

Great rewatching this film with you, J! I think I've seen this one the most out of the trilogy. I was recovering from massive shoulder surgery at the time, bored out of my skull at home in an immobilizer, so I would walk to the theatre 3 times a week just to get out of the house. This was the only film playing that I had the least interest in, so I watched it again and again and again. Okay, Anne Hathaway's Catwoman had A LOTto do with it as well. I grew up with the original Julie Newmar Catwoman, who jump started my puberty , but Hathaway's Catwoman is the best of them all (Newmar, Eartha Kitt, Lee Merriwether, Michelle Pfieffer, and Zoë Karvitz. We DO NOT speak of Halle Berry.)!

[@SubterrelProspector]

Fantastic reaction to a great movie. My wife and I watch these all the time and this is her personal favorite. That bit where you said that Bane was given every possible hard line in the script made us laugh so much! 😂 But fr Bane is a beast.

Bruce didn't become the Batman overnight! It took tons of training, allies, and pain... In the beginning, Bruce was just a spoiled hothead with nothing but grief and a gun. In time, the "new" Robin/Batman may do the same. Minus the uh, billionaire part. XD Bane and Catwoman really did steal the show, though!

[@Letha-Mae]

Tom Hardy played Bane so good

[@wbrouilette]

Cannot recommend enough the TV series Person of Interest. It was created and written by Christopher Nolan's brother Jonathan, who helped write parts of this trilogy. Person of Interest is truly an amazing series. It also has two of the most badass women in a series ever. I think you'd love it.

Is I will say this, have they continued the series, I definitely would not have wanted John Blake to beat Batman. I was voting for Nightwing!
