No surprise. Expect a 12A to follow suit.

The sound has now been altered to make Bane's voice easier to understand:

I'm so pleased I missed this. I'm all for seeing trailers before a film but a clip of the actual film no fucking way. Are people that eager to have their enjoyment spoiled?

I disagree, the prologues for both this and The Dark Knight were intended to raise the anticipation even more and they both worked for me, they spoil fuck all.

I never watch scenes from films if I'm already intending to watch the whole thing.

Unbelievable!!

P.s. I do believe you.


Anyone seeing this at the IMAX in London?

[bradavon]

To be fair it's only 12mins longer than Dark Knight. I'd love to see this in Imax but since they closed Bristol's Imax, I'd have to go to Cardiff and that's too far to bother.

I'm SO, SO pleased there is no 3D option on this one because it would've meant I'd have to see Dark Knight Rises in the smallest screen my local Odeon has to offer, as I was forced to with Prometheus .

yes and that was 20 minutes too long imo

I'm faced with a Catch 22-type situation.

If the reviews are overwhelmingly positive (as they largely were with The Dark Knight) then I won't believe them as that film was terribly flawed.

But...

If the reviews are below par then I've no reason to assume they're wrong and thus no reason to bother seeing the film.

Or you could just ignore the reviews and go see it for yourself, then make up your own mind on whether you like the film or not?

Nahhhhhhh..........

I love this:

Predator?

TDK definitely wasn't "certainly flawed", not perfect but pretty darn close for a superhero film. That is all.

The Simpsons Artist has unveiled another masterpiece

I don't 'get' those cartoons.

That doesn't surprise me one bit.

[Markgway]

Does anyone else think it's funny?

Well it has 5,706 likes on Facebook so far...

[Markgway]

Can you explain it to me? (I haven't seen the film mind).

It's mainly due to the character of 'Chris the Simpsons Artist', here's the accompanying message with that picture:

get out of the way because it is a massive fight only joking it is just my picture that i gone and done of bat man and the idiot thief bane from the new black knight film that i saw in the pictures the other day with my mums friend from her work. i loved the film so much because of all of the fighting bits and the violent kicking and my best bit was when bat man was flying through the sky like a massive black crow but my best bit was when bat man kept on telling bane that he hated his mask and he was saying that it just looks really old fashioned and bane kept on saying that he hates bat mans helmet and then bane said that he is going to kill bat mans wife and children if he says anything about him again and then bat man went to say something but he didnt say anything because he just moved his mouth so it looked like he was saying you are really fat and he was laughing when he was doing it and it was making bane so mad and then bane put his tongue really slowly out of his mask so that bat man knew that he hated him so much and i liked the ending as well because it was really good when bat man woke up at the end of the film and it was all just a dream and he was actually a little boy and his mum came in to his room and she said what is wrong honey and he said nothing mum i was just dreaming that i was a bat and then his mum touched his face with 3 of her fingers and she said dont be silly you are not a bat you are just a 8 year old boy and then he said thank you mum in slow motion and then the film finished and i just went back to my house. Chris (Simpsons artist) xox

It's the way he draws things all deformed, and includes catchphrases that they never say

So am I the only one to have seen this?
