Humour and The Dark Knight Rises

**Threshold** May 13, 2012, 9:56 pm

Now, while TDK, BB and (Almost definately) TDKR will be famous for their resurrection of Batman, the movie's grittiness and dark themes, occasional bits of humour were thrown in.
Alfred in BB and TDK obviously has most of it, (mostly making light of the fact how much of a billionaire Wayne is, and how stupid the idea of being a person in a Bat-suit is) but sometimes other characters (particularly Batman sometimes has a very dry wit about him)
There are criticisms about the inclusion of the humour (the tone sometimes doesn't allow it to excell as much as it should have) and Batman didn't pull off his "I'm not wearing Hockey Pants line" as well as he should've (mainly because it sounded like this: IMNOTWEARINGHOCKEYPANTSURGGHSGGHGH)

So here's my question...
Where do you think TDKR will be in terms of humour? Will there be any attempts? Who will be the main comedy-giver?
We all saw in the trailer that Batman and Catwoman will be half-flirting (shown by the strangers comment in the Bat-Wing) and Batman hasn't lost his dry wit (IT'SNOTACARURGHG) but will there be any more attempts?

The joker certainly inserted black comedy in TDK, but I doubt Bane can have expert comedic timing with pipes all around his mouth (he also doesn't seem like he would be up for some 'gags').

It'll be a comedic uproar! You'll laugh til you pass out! Hilarity will ensue!

I think there will be a few touches of humor here and there, perhaps from Alfred and Catwoman for the most part. Bane will probably throw a bit of dark humor here or there but I don't think it will be so that the intense, brutal and menacing nature of his character is mitigated at any time in the way it is presented.

The movie will be quite grim and even depressing at times so a dose of humor to lighten things up a bit for the audience is expected.

Most will probably involve Batman and Catwoman. That scene of them at the trailer, her pulling the disappearing act on him, maybe some banter after they fight the mercenaries, etc.

Come on.
It was just a discussion on whether or not the humour will be present at all in TDKR.

I hope it's a comedy like The Avengers.

There'll be about as much comic relief as the other films, mostly from Alfred and Selina.
