I didn't, someone else did.

For your information, I don't own ANY comic books. As for my "fanboy" $215 million prediction, I personally have always liked Superman more than Batman. My prediction is based on gut instinct, and nothing else.

So, your assumption is waaay off.

THE DARK KNIGHRS plot was retarded.

But the characters were awesome, and the action was mesmerizing. All dat matters guyz

Are we really complaining about the fights scenes because they aren't real?
Hate to be the one to spoil it for everybody, but in the movies....(every one take a deep breath).... all fight scenes are fake. They're are not actually fighting in any movie. It's not real...

Sorry I just ruined all movies that has a fight scene for everyone....

And you're like one of them young thundercats, think you know it all.

Badass shot right here:

OH MY FUCKING GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That Batpod jump will be nuts in IMAX.

I did say "many" of those predictions, not everyone. So maybe my assumption does not apply to you. And let me rephrase since we're talking semantics here, its not just "DC over Marvel", its also TDKR over TA bullshit and Nolan over everyone bullshit. If I'm wrong then why was the thread title changed to include 'F**K 3D' right after TA took the OW crown. Right after that happened some (not all) TDKR predictions shot up through the roof, just so it would beat TA.

So even though my assumption might not apply to you sir (which I never said it did), it does apply to some. Specifically to those with big fat boners for Nolan.

We'll see friendo, we'll see. Mock while you can. Btw whats your predictions BJ? Mine is 187m. We'll see who was closer come July 20.

Obviously a stunt double, but cool shot nonetheless:

C'mon guys.

I admit that the shot of the Batwing entering the cave was cool as shit.

But the batpod making that jump - lame.

And a shot of Bane climbing down a rope, I repeat, a shot of Bane climbing down a rope.

C'mon now, we left them other jive turkeys way behind..

SWEET JESSUSSSS

GFDGFDSGDS:LKGFDS:LG:LKD UNBELIEVABLE SPOT

THE DREAM IS REAL
SHIT JUST GOT REAL



I have TEARS OF JOY right now!

Oh and Jack Sparrow, I don't know why we're arguing. Let's just all be friends and SUPPORT THIS MOVIE!

Nope.

This is TOO INTENSE.

I already have tickets to 2 shows for Rises in real IMAX. I think I need to snap up some more tickets for additional viewings early. This is going to be LEGENDARY in IMAX. Abso-positi-f**king-tively LEGENDARY.

One thing's for sure.

This'll dispel those moronic "This film needed Ledger to outperform TDK" quotes.

BTW, I will be closer

My theater has regular 2D showings at 7:30 AM, 8:30 AM, and 9:00 AM throughout the opening weekend. Can't remember them having that many non-IMAX early morning shows before.

Love your enthusiasm BJ . Your numbers look great, but I think TDKR has a shot at a slightly higher domestic number



Enjoy it, as we are witnessing a historic box office run about to unfold

I haven't even watched the spot, but those gifs alone are AMAZING. Love the shot of Bane climbing down the rope like a straight BOSS. Hopefully they play that spot during Game 4 tomorrow.

Anita on SHH said that her friends in L.A. saw the Batpod jumping scene when it was filmed and it was done practically (including the cape).

Yezzir, that ramp jump was in fact shot practically. Fan ninjas confirmed this when they actually saw it being filmed in LA last year.

So prepare to have your minds blown away . We won't know 100% what's real and what's CGI in the film, just like TDK's visual effects and stunts had many people fooled .
