Re: The Dark Knight Rises
Here's a random bit of Dark Knight trivia I didn't know. The Joker's Bank Robber mask ...
... looks eerily like a mask worn by the Joker in disguise on the 1960s Batman TV Episode "The Joker is Wild" ...
That's a pretty obscure reference, but the resemblance is too close to be an accident.
Somebody on Nolan's team did their research.

Didn't they come out and say that was what they were trying to do?

Re: The Dark Knight Rises
That would be Nolan himself.
You are funny man.

Bad Ass Digest:

The Dark Knight Rises got a PG-13 rating, which is like no ____ duh. The movie could have Christian Bale skull____ing Tom Hardy and it would probably get a PG-13 - the MPAA simply does not stand between massive blockbusters and their intended rating (see The Hunger Games, which should have an R rating based on the MPAA's own standard pussyfooting around violence against children)._
What's almost interesting, and what motivated me to write this bit of hit-baiting, is that the film's PG-13 includes 'some sensuality.' Now, sensuality has never been Christopher Nolan's hallmark as a filmmaker - he made the least sexual dream movie of all time, after all - but when you get Catwoman in your Batman film you expect at least SOME sparks to fly. And it looks like they will. So it looks like we're getting some sort of Batboner material this time around.
It'll be interesting to see how Nolan handles that aspect. Bruce Wayne has remained all but celibate in these films, and his love for Rachel was always very chaste. Batman's an inherently feti___ic concept (something Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher embraced in ways that enraged fanboys), and while Nolan could ignore that aspect of it once Catwoman gets involved it becomes way harder. No pun intended. And it gets doubly complicated if Talia al Ghul takes on any role similar to the comics, where she birthed Bruce's baby.
Anyway, sexuality has been notably absent from these 'realistic' takes on Batman, so I'm interested in seeing what Nolan does with his sensuality.
Hopefully it will be as sensual as this shot of Bruce Wayne getting a facial of bats.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises
Why?
Is this new "news" really that new to people? I could have told you that it was going to be PG-13. What's the big deal? Who cares?

I hate the system too. But I don't get what it has to do with the TDKR rating....

Re: The Dark Knight Rises
Nobody is making a big deal about it being PG-13.
It's the "some sensuality and language" part that has people spekulating.
Oh yeah... and that it's already rated.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises
Nothing about TDKR, just TDK. It was borderline "R"? The MPAA has literally raped movies of it's creators vision and blinded the entire public eye at how movies are looked at. OMG IT WAS SO INTENSE IT NEEDED TO BE "R". ____ those parents.
Just like this new movie Bully, it almost got a NC-17 because it showed what kids say and do at school. So it's now going to be looked at as a bad movie for kids to watch, when in reality it's the one movie they should watch.
I just really despise the old ____s and stupid biases all the people on the ratings board have.
