Well...

"Y'all" is slang for "you all"...

and not you know, "are you" or "is Zara" or maybe "have you begun".

So I found it to be an odd question and this "And?" to be further odd.

Everyone knows the plural for y'all is "all y'alls."

Y'all is mostly used in small group settings, or to reference a group connected by a common thread. All y'all or all y'alls is meant for a wider bearth, to refer to people and hypothetical other people not in attendance. The singular is affixing y' to the next word. Like

Honestly I could swear that someone else had complained about Hardy's voice, but it must have been myself mixing up Bronto and IMDb comments. Sorry about the mix up and then acting like an ass about it, Geo.

Remember how before the Dark Knight, fans were saying that Heath Ledger was a bad choice for Joker? Then before this one everyone was saying Anne Hathaway would be a bad Catwoman? Well Nolan just did that with Robin without the fans even noticing.

man, looking at conversations about the initial reaction to heath ledger is a fucking time capsule and a half. Honestly, I don't think anybody is ever going to top that performance in a superhero movie. I would put his Joker as one of the top 10 performances in a movie, period.

Detective Blake's real name was a little TOO much of a wink, methinks.

Yeah, "John Blake" is WAY too similar to "Tim Drake".

I caught on pretty much immediately and then the otherwise pointless clue drop that she was poor originally hammered it home. But I don't think it was "super obvious". For one thing, I heard in an early rumour back when they were still casting the movie that Talia was going to be in it. So as soon as this foreign sounding woman came on screen who acted like she had the hots for bats and then we learned unnecessary details about her for some no-name character it all clicked for me. However, I don't know if I would have been so fast to be like "TALIA, THAT'S TOTALLY TALIA" in my head without that rumour also bouncing around in there.

Well, I mean, if I didn't know going in that Ra's had a sexy daughter I might not have made the connection the second she came onscreen, but we can't really test that parallel universe where I didn't grow up watching Batman cartoons (and really, who would want to?).  Yeah, I know Talia al Ghul when I see her and I knew who she was as soon as she spoke her first line.

I guess I just wasn't really thinking about it enough during the movie to put it all together "Oh right, child of Ra's, that's not Bain, that's Talia". But then in my defense again, he keeps her really out of sight a lot and doesn't dangle her around much and also, I really had no idea what he was keeping "accurate to the comics" and what he was changing. There was really no reason for me to doubt that he would just write Bain in as Ra's kid. I mean why not? He changed the location and nature of his prison to fit the movie better, why not change his father too?

Yeah, I didn't quite make the connection that she was the child; I spent a chunk of the movie going "So they're brother and sister, then?"  And while I saw the obvious maneuvering -- Bane's fuckery with Bruce's accounts manipulated him directly into giving the bomb to Talia -- I wasn't immediately sure whether they were in cahoots or were leading rival factions of the League, City at War style.

Course Bruce couldn't code the auto-pilot, he got thrown in super jail.

Yeah, I DID come out with some question as to when exactly he coded up the patch and wrote his will.  (Will would be the easier of the two; honestly he could have whipped that up on the way back to Gotham from the Pit.  But the lady tells Fox that the patch was pushed months ago, meaning BEFORE the first confrontation with Bane.  How quick is the timeline between when he first talks to Blake and when he goes to meet Bane?  I'm thinking he pushed the patch before he went to the party as Bruce.)

Remember how before the Dark Knight, fans were saying that Heath Ledger was a bad choice for Joker? Then before this one everyone was saying Anne Hathaway would be a bad Catwoman? Well Nolan just did that with Robin without the fans even noticing.

Well, he'd already used Gordon Leavitt in Inception so I think Nolan fans already had a pretty good idea about him.

But man he's bulked up since then.

Anyhow yeah he did a great job making Robin fit into this universe.  I'd be thrilled to see a new franchise with Blake as Batman, but yeah that's not gonna happen we're just gonna get another reboot.

Which I guess is okay in and of itself, because for once Batman gets not only an ending but a HAPPY ending.

I've said before that, much as I loved Batman Beyond Bruce, that's never been the ending I wanted for him; I always wanted him to slay his demons, retire, and finally find happiness.  This movie managed to actually go from Batman Beyond Bruce to Happy Retired Bruce in the span of 3 hours, and that's fucking wonderful -- AND have him settle down with Catwoman in the end to boot.

I don't have any background knowledge of Batman and I had no idea what was going on.

Where did they take Batman for prison?  Like, that wasn't Gotham City right? But then how did he get back to the city in like 6 hours?  I didn't really understand.

Bane's original comic backstory is that his father did something to get sent to Super Hell Jail but then he was a jerk and died so they raised his kid in Super Hell Jail until he got old and bad ass enough to break out. So in the movie Super Hell Jail is just some pit next to Foreignistan and Bane flies him there since he has the time(they exhaust the entire 5 month time limit of the fusion reactor nuke.)

That last bit was a fuck-up, basically we just have to assume Nolan-Batman is the same level of hyper-prepared that some versions of comic Batman are. Like, builds redundant Bat Caves in random locations prepared(an actual thing in Arkham Asylum.) They probably could've just had a shot of him as Bruce Wayne in a Foreignistan airport line brandishing a super secret not bankrupt credit card or somethin'.

I thought that was the original Batcave at the end?

Also, yeah, it is kinda funny that the endgame is BATMAN CAN'T GET RID OF A BOMB

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that was the original Batcave and Blake is just chillin' under Wayne Manor there, but I thought Doom was just referring to whatever never-shown means Bruce had for getting back to Gotham.
