A comparison to the comics

Rating: 8/10 (28 July 2012)

First things first this was an Amazing! Yet still there were some things that made me upset and quite mad esp. because they'd need to make another movie to make it better. First off I want talk about the main villain Bane. OK so if you read the comics or have seen the any of the cartoons you already have a weird feeling about how Christopher Nolan portrayed Bane. In the comics Bane is a Latino who wears a wrestling mask kinda like Ray Mysterio's mask. and he then has a dial on his left arm that has a tube going to his back. This tube is the source of Bane's power the higher he cracks that dial the more pumped up he gets and the bulkier he is. But in the new Dark Knight movie bane is a guy that is just really buff... Christopher Nolan just totally remade Bane and I wasn't to impressed to say the least. I can live with bane not being Latino that's really a trivial matter but when he doesn't have the mask or his trade mark dial that makes him buff? Now don't get me wrong the movie was still incredible but I just wish they had given Bane a different name because he really had nothing in common the the original bane besides the fact that they both "broke the bat" and they have the same way they're defeated. That actually made me happy when you see that Bane's defeated by detaching the pipes on his mouth piece which is the same way batman defeaters bane in the comics by severing the pipes going from the dial. Second thing that made no sense with the plot line and just made my mad... Through out the movie you have Gordon's sidekick of sort John Blake called Blake through out the movie. I loved this character but they ruined it at the end of the movie when the lady said "You should use your real name, Robin, I like it." this made me so mad! You can't just introduce robin like that and not do another movie, and then there's the question why did Nolan call him Blake?!?! It's should have been Dick Grayson, or Tim Drake! And lastly. WHAT'S WITH THE FREAKIN' VOICES! Bane sounds weird and batman sounds like he's gargling marbles. Then there's the things that made me really happy about the movie. There were actually a lot of things Nolan incorporated from the comics. Such as when bane blows up the 4 bridges that was in the Batman: Gates of Gotham mini series when they attempt to blow up the 4 bridges leading into Gotham. I also love how Nolan's used the Scare Crow in every movie! In this one he was the executioner if you didn't realize. Then there's the fact that they didn't make cat woman out to be the huge villain they sometimes make her out to be, Nolan did well in showing her true colors in this film. But I have to say the best part of this film for me was the ending where you see Alfred go to the café he told Bruce he goes to every years and hopes to see him there with a girlfriend maybe even a few kids and they'd see each other but they wouldn't say anything but he'd know Bruce was doing well. and then after the explosion that's exactly what happens and he see's Bruce at the café with Salina Kyle aka Catwoman. I can't explain how happy this seen made me. Then there were a few parts that were good for speculation. This movie was an incredible way to be able to start films of Batman Incorporated and films of before that. Because they way the movie ends Blake could become the next Batman, they could then introduce the little boy Blake was talking to as robin and then Gordon remarries and Barbra comes into the picture as batgirl but again it would just be cool if they did a batman an robin. Then you have the scene where Bruce is in bed with Miranda/Talia Al Guhl. In the comics Batman and son Bruce finds out he has a son named Damian and it's his and Talia's son, and the fact that you never saw Talia die means that there's a possibility that she could be alive and be pregnant with her's and Bruce's son. In the end if your looking at movies that portray the comics well then this is the worst one Nolan made. But if you look at this not comparing to the comics then this is defiantly the best of them all. There was so much in this movie indeed it was in a way an inception reunion as some were calling it and I think that's accurate as well this could very well be called the inception of batman for the fact that to truly grasp and understand this movie you'd have to watch it several times. All in all KUDOS to you Mr. Nolan! Job well done!!! Now just make another movie of Blake.
