ladymercury_10So I FINALLY saw The Dark Knight Rises.
It's late and I'm sleepy, so I don't have much in the way of coherent thoughts...maybe I'll post again tomorrow if I think of anything else. The short version of the story is that, short of the dubious science surrounding the nuclear explosion (Guys, you also have to worry about THE CLOUD--has no one heard of radiation poisoning?), I have all the happy feelings about this movie. Well-acted, smart, and thoughtful, with lots of great supporting characters. Anne Hathaway was fabulous as Selina/Catwoman. I love that she got to be sexy and sassy, but that wasn't the full scope of her character--she was also brave, conflicted, classy, and she could pretty much kill you with her bare hands. Michael Caine was great, as always. And Joseph Gordon-Leavitt can be in every movie as far as I'm concerned. I was really impressed with how he handled Blake, which was a more mature and less playful role than either Tom in (500) Days of Summer or Arthur in Inception, which are the characters I associate with him the most. Plus, he's adorable. There is no reason why we need a Robin (Nightwing?) sequel, but if he stars in one I will probably start hopping around my room with excitement. I also really liked the who's-the-heir-to-Ra's al Ghul bait and switch.
Does anyone want to show me where the Batman fandom on LJ is hanging out? Icons, fic, vids, meta, what have you. I would especially like Selina-, Miranda-, or Blake-centric fic if it exists. And if you posted in the past two weeks and want to link me, I would love to see your reaction posts.

Okay, wishful thinking. BUT STILL. DC totally needs to step up their movie franchise; all they really had was the Chris Nolan Batman movies and those are over and done with now. Man of Steel does not look super promising so far either :(

Date: 2012-08-03 07:16 am (UTC)Dude, Batwoman would be AWESOME. I would love a Babs/Oracle movie, but I doubt they'll ever go there since she's still a supporting character in the DCU. I think Wonder Woman might be a possibility, though... (Catwoman would also definitely be neat).

Date: 2012-08-03 08:33 am (UTC)I thought for a second you meant that Tim Drake had died too and was like OMG SPOILERS at first (because I don't think I got that far), ha ha... I'm glad you meant Jason Todd instead, though.
