Why are there shadows going across batman in his last scene

i am seriously thinking about what somefrenchtoast said about the shadows being clouds and he just didnt make it. he sacrificed himself. and also looking at the scar on his head in florence looks like it has a horizontal line through it...it should have been just vertical. damn i cant believe im sa...

Why are there shadows going across batman in his last scene

The PURPOSE of that last shot of Batman's face looking like he's accepting death was shown to make the us, the audience, believe he was gonna die. Which of course begs the question of what was the shot ACTUALLY showing. Though I personally have somewhat of a hard time accepting the second Bat theory...

Do you mean the ones in front of Batman or behind him?

Tom Hardy as Bane

I love what Tom Hardy did with this character. Like Heath Ledger, he took it , put his own spin on it and totally owned the role. Everything from the voice, the facial expressions, eyes, demeanor. Tom disappeared into this character. I don't think he's getting enough credit for this performance. :c...

Would you have wanted a longer film, at the expense of IMAX?

I'm anchoring my argument people were overly critical towards Rises by explaining The Dark Knight wasn't nearly as picked apart or attacked as Rises, even though it arguably has bigger plotting errors/holes than Rises. That's the point. It didn't get nearly as much criticism in any circle, critics,...

Vader, I said "fair enough" in my previous post and asked about the production team comments you mentioned, and you went on to write an angry essay. I'm not so sure that it's me who's having the ridiculous reaction. I have criticized many aspects of TDKR, yes. That does not mean that I do not or can...

Would you have wanted a longer film, at the expense of IMAX?

I understand the logistics of elevators. That isn't the issue. I have described the issue many times. The film doesn't seem to think, within its world, its important to let us know how and why a highly dangerous character in a room of Gotham's wealthiest people wasn't important enough to let us kno...

I really applaud your determination to be right here, but give up before your responses become even more reductive. Lol. This isn't a competition. I shall post if I feel like it. Anyway, here it is, the screenshot of the deleted scene of the Joker and his men leaving the party where the henchman as...

Oh yeah, bring out those facepalms bro, let's fight. Let's not. The Joker escaping is a plot hole because it shows us a scenario in which many characters are in peril, it's a huge thing to leave out how The Joker actually escaped, especially how and why Batman didn't chase after him. Deciding this ...
