When Batman came out in '89, I was a huge 9 year old fan. I remember riding my bike to a little (literally the size of a bathroom) Citgo gas stop to buy Batman cards. I thought Batman Returns was okay, but the subsequent ones were grossly disappointing. Until Batman Begins and my asphyxiation grew and after The Dark Knight, it hit an all time high. I took the girls to see Battleship and one of the trailers was for The Dark Knight Rises. It gave me chills.

Christopher Nolan has done a superb job with Batman and July 20 can not come fast enough for this guy.

I can't wait to see it but I can't help but feel that the trailer makes it look like it is going to be really overdone. Also the most disappointing thing I noticed is that when hines ward "returns that kickoff for a touchdown" if you watch all the players around him he is the only one on the field wearing yellow, before or after the field collapses. apparently he ran back that kick 1vs11.
BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

I think a trailer always oversells the movie. I don't think the third installment will be as good as the second, but it's more the conclusion of the story that has me intrigued not if the movie breaks any box office records. I know they filmed some of it in Pittsburgh and with the last name Ward and number 86, I was thinking it was Hines Ward too. When I seen one of the trailers in the movie, I thought I seen Ward's teammates, but then again, I could care less about something like that. Batman isn't a football movie. :)

July 20th, come quick!

Here's the first six minutes of The Dark Knight Rises . Poor quality.

Yeah, we are definitely going to see this movie. I'm not as excited about it as I was the Avengers, but that's mostly because I've always been more of a Marvel/Captain America fan growing up than a Batman fan.

I love that Bane will be the main protagonist (if you can call him that) in this one. "The Man Who Broke the Bat".. Mmmmmm..

This is a much darker adaptation of Batman, so breaking Batman might be proper for this story arc. What’s the point of using Bane then?

Anyhow, I'm a huge Batman geek. I'm really looking forward to this movie. This might be the best trilogy since Lord of the Rings.

Yeah, I have a very specific story in mind in regards to the movie. We'll see how it plays out...

Just saw the movie today. It was a lot of fun. I think it's a very good send off for Nolan's run with this character.

A few were telling me I was over-hyping myself and was going to be let down. Thing is, it wasn't the quality of movie that I was eagerly anticipating, it was the conclusion to the trilogy and the "how" it ended that captivated me.

I think overall, really good movie. The middle kinda dragged, but they kind of had to in order to try and mesh with the comic books.

I see that Christopher Nolan is rebooting Superman and can't help wonder if he's going to do a reboot of Nightwing now with how it ended.

I've been a huge Batman fan since the 1960's. I even have a 1966 model Batmobile.

LJ sent me to watch the new film a few days ago. I wish they would have had more of "Batman" in the film. And hat's with the ending? Are they going to put the "3rd rock from the sun" kid as a new Batman, or Robin?
Any ideas?

Fan Shout
beast (1h) : I was rooting for the Bears to win and hurt their draft pick status
Zero2Cool (1h) : Forgot there was even a game last night haha
TheKanataThrilla (1h) : That was terrible.
TheKanataThrilla (1h) : Watching that game in its entirety yesterday is proof positive that I am a football addict.
beast (1h) : And horrible time management multiple times... and not being able to score more than 3 points on a team with talent
beast (1h) : Realizing the Bears didn't fix it from the previous week and do the same thing, getting the game to overtime
beast (1h) : They probably are not tanking, but they've absolutely mismanagement some things, such as Vikings seeing the Packers blocked FG and realizing
Zero2Cool (2h) : Crazy of Bears to have that mindset that is
Zero2Cool (2h) : Hail Mary stop away from 5 - 2. Not sure how that flips to tanking. Crazy mindset if true
beast (3h) : I've quietly questioned if Bears are tanking on purpose... they suddenly got a lot worse with some simple concepts like 101 clock management
wpr (5h) : Watching bares fans melt down over how putrid their team is, so enjoyable. It's the gift that keeps on giving.
Mucky Tundra (13h) : The Seattle Seahawks defeat the Chicago Bears 6-3. Jason Myers had 6 RBIs for Seattle while Cairo Santos had 3 RBI for Chicago
beast (13h) : Not nessarily, he might of been injured either way. He's playing about 50% of the games the last 4 years
Zero2Cool (20h) : If they'd been more patient with him, he'd be back already. Putting him out there vs Bears caused him to tweak it and here we are.
packerfanoutwest (20h) : well this is his last season with the PAck, book it
beast (21h) : Sounds like no Alexander (again), I'm wondering if his time with the Packers is done
Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : Could ban beast and I still don't think anyone catches him.
Mucky Tundra (26-Dec) : Houston getting dog walked by Baltimore
packerfanoutwest (25-Dec) : Feliz Navidad!
Zero2Cool (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas!
beast (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
beast (24-Dec) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game
packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : both games Watson missed, Packers won
Martha Careful (24-Dec) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!
Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol
buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier
buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol
Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???
Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???
packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath
packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.
packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?
bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.
bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?
bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference
Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network
beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th
beast (23-Dec) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.
bboystyle (23-Dec) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed
Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno
beast (23-Dec) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?
packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I see what you did there Mucky
