Welp, merged some shit in from old threads.

This is interesting:

It's best not to get into Barbara Gordon's tangled and retconned history, and Nolan's choice not to call any attention to Gordon's daughter in TDK suggests that he agrees with me.  Having a Batgirl that much younger than Batman would require a "10 years later" thingy.

Which, by the way, we now know there totally is.

Saw it; will probably delve into the spoilers thread tomorrow.  Meantime, I have non-spoiler thoughts on the ol' blog, and the following correction:

Right -- Rises isn't just a movie filmed with standard equipment and upscaled to IMAX size, it is filmed entirely in IMAX from the get-go.

I saw the previous film in IMAX -- in that one, only SOME scenes were shot in IMAX.  But those scenes were SPECTACULAR -- particularly the Hong Kong skyline sequence.

I was mistaken -- once again, the movie is only PARTIALLY shot in IMAX -- but it's a much bigger chunk this time.  At a rough approximation I'd say about half.  As in the previous movie, it's mostly (but not entirely) the action sequences and the big skyline shots.

And the difference is HUGE.  Jarring at times, because the picture goes between blurry/spotty/letterboxed to gorgeous, crystal-clear, and massive, but well worth seeing how damn good the IMAX bits look.

Bass was way too loud to hear the dialogue for good big chunks of it, though.  You could FEEL the Zimmer BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.
