Humour and The Dark Knight Rises

Also am I the only one that could not stop laughing when the joker interrogates the man who is pretending to be Batman and he slaps him and says "Are you the real batman?" and the "you do Bryan, you really do!"

To be fair, there's no geniunely well-done humour in any of his films. It's not that he's not capable of it, I just think he can't be bothered.
I don't think he'll want to ever make a comedy, considering his current filmography, I don't think he'll go off and direct a side-splitting whack-fest.

Also, the "saves me cutting an airhole" gag wasn't played comedically, it just showed Cutter getting angry. It was also a one-off since it was Michael Caine again.

Personal opinion. Stop acting like it's universally not funny. In my opinion I think Nolan adds comedy for the masses. The masses don't like movies that are too serious and with a movie like TDKR with a 250 mill budget it needs to earn quite a lot at the box office, that humor adds to the potential audience for the movie.

We already know that there is going to be humor in this movie:

Exhibit A: "My wife?!"
Exhibit B: "Don't worry Mr. Wayne, takes a little time to get back in the swing of things."
Exhibit C: "My mother always told me I shouldnt get into cars with starange men." "This isn't a car."
Exhibit D: "Do you remember where you parked?"
Exhibit E: "You're retired." "I'm retired."
Exhibit F: "Okay, now you're just showing off."
Need I go on?

I think there is a lot of room for quips with Selina/Bruce as well as Alfred/Bruce, Fox/Bruce. It will be there just as it has been in the first two.

And I actually thought that

there was some humor in the prologue too. For example:

CIA Douche: If I take that off, will you die?
Bane: It would be extremely painful...
CIA Douche: You're a big guy.
Bane: ...for you!

Badass line but at the same time pretty funny too.

Plenty of a humor.

Did I say there wouldn't be?

I don't know....Bane doesn't seem to be the sort of guy who has a sense of humour.

Good point. Hardy said that he's absolutely serious and there are no jokes about him, you're right. On the other hand I don't see why serious actions shouldn't be funny to the audience - with brutal scenes, people get scared, then released, then they laugh.

I also think the Joker didn't intend to be funny with his pencil trick. He just scared the mob off by showing them how surprisingly dangerous this clown can be.

It was intended to be funny to the audience.

I laugh until he says "LOOK AT ME!" it sounds so inhuman. That part is probably the scariest scene in the whole film. Heath really transformed himself.

The "look at me" line sounded like John Wayne gacy probably did when he was torturing his victims while in full clown regalia. Morbid, but just a thought.

That thought just gave me the worst chills.
