TDKR: David S. Goyer Discusses The Theme Of The Film And Occupy Wall Street Relevance

It's kinda funny that that idea in TDKR is really more of a rouse used by Bane to give people false hope before he nukes them all

Can't wait to see how they handle Superman next...

This dude wrote the script for Man of Steel.. Correct?
It should be good..

It might have been coincidence, but when I was watching the movie I was thinking that it was very similar to Occupied Wall street.

With art reflecting reality and visaversa, I remember when occupiers clashed with police and when a few occupiers were found planning to bomb a bridge.

the gov should fear the people isnt contemporary.
it is IMPOSSIBLE with the technological advancements of teh last hundred years for the people to stand against the gov.
use your brains people.
tanks, jets bombs and nukes > civilians with rifles or handguns.

jesus some of you are dumb.

I think some people are thinking WAY into TDKR. About occupying Wall Street and that whole Bane/Bain thing. The story and script was written around two-three years ago, before any of that even happened.

@kingemperor The movie did have some occupy themes which were a coincidence but still interesting. I agree on with you on the whole Bane/Bain thing though. Just Rush Limbaugh trying to get attention.

Unclejimmy......nukes?.....really? Can't think of many countries that would nuke its own soil.

JokerFanHAhaHA: "Occupy is mainly peaceful protests"




........wow. really? might want to do a little research.

WHY CAN'T WE BE LIKE CANADA OR FRANCE..

Saw "TDKR." Overrated and drop-off is largely due to poor quality. Yes....Colorado had impact but frankly, "TDKR" is not that good. Batman and Nolan fans will roast me for what I'm going to say but facts are facts. Here's the real deal:

Nolan has the audacity to deliver scenes of lower Manhattan terrorized and surrounding bridges and buildings systematically blown up. You gotta' be kidding...Does anyone still remember 9/11? Hollywood execs, critics, and fans don't find this disturbingly inappropriate?

2 policemen were posted outside theatre in affluent neighborhood of Queens, NY. All bags were checked like airport security. Do you really want to possibly expose your kids to the same nonsense?

I work professionally with kids. Don't take child, especially if they're under 14. Younger kids want Batman and he's not in movie that much, movie is boring until last 45 minutes, lots of meandering dialogue and references younger kids won't get (especially if they didn't see previous movies), violence is vicious, movie is dark and brooding, and there are lots of social and political overtones.

At first, Bruce is retired recluse who walks with a cane. 1 improbable, cheesy scene with Catwoman and leg brace later, he's 100% ready to conquer all sorts of wrongdoers.

Bane was underwhelming and voiceover was silly. It didn't match characters imposing presence.

Batman, after 8 being years retired, inexplicably masters all sorts of vehicles and gadgets regardless of the battered condition of his body and being absent from the "games."

Bruce (bodily broken, psychologically traumatized, and penniless) escapes from inescapable hell-on-earth prison pit to find himself stranded in the middle of desert with nothing but the tattered clothes on his back. With no explanation 1 or 2 scenes later he's back in Gotham looking GQ (not a bruise to show) ready to take on bad guys.

Bruce rehabilitates himself and miraculously recovers from life-threatening injuries and pre-existing shattered body at least 2x's by basically doing push-ups and sit-ups.

Catwoman (and Anne Hathaway's supposedly "outstanding performance") adds nothing dimensional or pivotal to movie (except killing Bane at end).

Catwoman is a master thief right? In this movie she's all that but for whatever reasons she lives in a rat-hole apartment with a skanky, clingy blonde chick (who shows for 3 quick scenes and adds nada to film except lesbian overtones). Catwoman's background story is underwhelming.

Catwoman, for no apparent reason, effortlessly masters Batman's motorcycle and gadgets.

Comic Book fans robbed...Bane doesn't break Batman's back. Best he could do was herniate a few of Batman's vertebral discs (which, by the way, a fellow hell-hole inmate pushes back into alignment by hand...Huh?!?).

Dialogue between Batman & Catwoman is cliché after, cliché...Ugh!

Why does Batman's voice have to sound like Dirty Harry constipated? I get the whole "disguise my voice thing" but c'mon...it's over-the-top.

Its funny, bcoz later in the movie they don't develop any of those themes. I mean, after the anarchic cup given by bane, how the normal citizens of New yo...sorry...Gotham are responding? They say to take what they deserve, they take away the richest and powerful people from their positions and made them suffer from their sins. It appears that he is trying to fool gotham people into believing they are not gonna live anymore under this capitallism "slavery" and give them the so mentioned hope (nobody knows the bomb is gonna explode anyway) but after that they freed the criminals, and never again the theme is mentioned. How htey are realating occupy of wall street with what happens in the movie?
Also, What is the message? a violent protest/riot is bad? yeah, funny enough nobody apart from criminals are rioting in the movie. Nobody is fighting for better rights or better live situation.

Sorry for the long post. I mean, i had fun watching the movie, but dont try to sell me the movie like something more deep than it is.

@cgrass: Dead on man, too many "what the heck" moments.
