The Dark Night was pretty good, but The Dark Knight Rises was just absurd.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayThe Joker was pretty bland. He was a cold psycho, having none of the enthusiasm or love for what he does. He's the Joker, not the Stoner.
And yeah, S Pidy 2 was quite good. Electro's main villain, and the second is a slow building subplot, and the last is mostly there for a sequel hook, though there's enough ham in that brief scene to make up for it.
@Star I don't really remember that because I've only seen the movie once.
https://youtu.be/_1F5HhUvFbM?si=csgwerqELcG6615qThe Dark Knight Rises was a weird movie. I enjoyed watching it, but I think it's harder to take seriously than the earlier movies due to how over the top Bane is.
Reaction Image Repository@Teeth Was there a reason why they made his voice like that? I don't really buy the sophisticated explanation.
https://youtu.be/_1F5HhUvFbM?si=csgwerqELcG6615qDark: I dunno. He does a few things in ways that could have easily gotten him killed if the Gotham police were even halfway competent (or the mobsters more inclined to shoot him) with the only apparent reason being him going "trollololol."

https://youtu.be/_1F5HhUvFbM?si=csgwerqELcG6615qAlso, that basically the entire thing is filled with plot holes and there's also the Endor Holocaust thing.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's Play@Star and Story Also, the MOMENT I finished watching The Dark Knight for the 1st time, I was like..."There is no way in Hell they're going to top this."
https://youtu.be/_1F5HhUvFbM?si=csgwerqELcG6615qYeah, the whole "Let's take over the city for three months!" thing just felt a bit off. It's too... super-villainy. At least with the Joker, his plans were a bit more mundane as they boiled down to "blow stuff up / set things on fire". Even in the first movie, the whole "fear toxin" thing was played mostly like a biochemical terrorist attack, which is more believable than Bane's "hold one of the world's largest cities hostage" plan.
Reaction Image Repository@Teeth I thought that the whole taking over the city for three months made the movie feel longer than it should. Not a great thing.
https://youtu.be/_1F5HhUvFbM?si=csgwerqELcG6615qTeeth: To be fair, Bane had no intention of not blowing up the city. IIRC, he was just doing the hostage thing to be an asshole to the citizens before finally leveling everything.
FE: New Mystery Only Feet 7PM PT Sun, Mon, Fri; Umamusume Haru Arima 7PM PT Wed, Thurs: http://www.twitch.tv/kuroitsubasatenshi@Irish But only buttheads make butt jokes, buttheads like Brent Butt.
https://youtu.be/_1F5HhUvFbM?si=csgwerqELcG6615qBut nothing about the DKR makes any sense. It's all wildly implausible. And it substitutes action movie cliches for actual plotting.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's Play@Story I think that's what they were going for...for some reason. I dunno.
@Star But Brent Butt is a real person!
