Just no. Not even remotely similar.

However, Darkplace is awesome and totally underrated.

The last 3 seconds were the payoff for me.

Pretty much the only thing that got me through The Dark Night Rises was the fact that Bane has the vocal delivery of Dr. Sanchez from Darkplace:

Don’t mention it.

From Fernando F. Croce’s spot on review of The Dark Knight, Why so Pretentious:

“To be fair, The Dark Knight did provide the most chilling moment I have had at the movies all summer. I giggled at the ridiculous growl Bale employed from under his Batman mask, and was readily met with death stares from my neighboring viewers: Holy Mass had been violated. Please. Dude dresses like a bat, and suddenly cinema at long last fulfills its potential? It’s bad enough when rabid fanboys become so prissy about the film’s “awesomeness” that they fuse into one huge, fat-assed Comic Book Guy declaring “Worst critic ever!” at any questioning review; it’s doubly depressing when the critics themselves swallow the hype machine’s baby food and call it caviar for the ages.” http://www.cinepassion.org/Archives/DarkKnight.html

Tempted to say I enjoyed that more than any of the films (kinda with David Cronenberg on superhero movies…)

Haven’t seen the movie yet, but staying in character seems like a good habit to me in this case. It’s like doing a pre-launch check by the list, even if you have that memorised or turning off the breaker if you do work on a lamp, even if you switched it off and the like.

Was it Cookie Monster doing the voice of Batman or … Tom Waits?
I’m so confused. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5X4N2exOsU

Sure but… in that case why does he keep using the voice while talking to people who know is real identity? *SPOILER* This happens several times in TDKR, and I have no idea how catwoman keeps a straight face once she knows, and knows he knows she knows.

I watched TDK recently and didn’t find his voice too distracting at all (unlike the first viewing). It’s necessary for him to change his voice to complete the disguise.

That was annoying. It just made me want to watch the film again. Think i’ll watch it tonight and pretend Rises doesn’t exist :)
