By the way, I think we all really need to thank Hans Zimmer for the stadium scene. It hurts to think that one of the most beautiful and meaningful scenes in the whole film could have been just a celebrity cameo. Ugh.

Great post, Mika!
It's nice that the same music accompanies Batman's "birth" (as someone else pointed out on these boards, it also plays when Bruce's parents are killed in BB) and "death".

Original: 9/10 1997 Special Edition: 7/10 (Jedi Rocks dropped it down by two points :facepalm: ) 2004 DVD: 6.5/10 2011 Blu-Ray: 6/10 I personally accept and welcome the visual changes.

Ra's death throws her back into the c...

Urgh, Father Reilly is my least favourite character in tdkr. Most people underestimate his douchiness since he's overshadowed by Dagget's douchiness. He wasn't given much to do in the film, but why douchy? Anyway, I think that Bruce becomes the "real" father figure for Blake when he gives him the B...

That Batman close-up is one of my favorite shots in the film.

Miranda is Rachel 2.0. She ticks all the boxes of what an ideal mate for Bruce is on paper: beautiful, rich, kind-hearted, and wants to save the world. It helps too that she has Alfred and Fox' stamp of approval. With Bruce being vulnerable (especially after finding out that Rachel wasn't planning ...

Thanks for posting that video, I'm so looking forward to this film! And woah, are they really singing live on set?
