Oh man, have I just geeked out big time. The Dark Knight Rises prologue has just been revealed by filmmaker mastermind, Christopher Nolan. My nerd senses have been tingling for quite awhile with the buzz going around for this film. I'm so excited that I sat online refreshing my browser constantly for news on the released prologue. The opening of the movie. Wow. Last time, the prologue opened with the DC and WB logos over fire and explosions. This time its over what looks like cracking class, and the Bat-symbol is made out with broken glass. Batman will be broken! Then the movie opens with Gordon talking at Harvey Dents eulogy saying, "It will be a long time until someone inspires us the way he did." Then we cut to a field and a jeep driving towards a small plane. They get out and some of these men are in black hoods, they're prisoners who worked for the masked man, terrorist leader Bane. Dr. Pavel meets with a CIA agent by the airplane and they get on. I'm assuming the CIA agent is protecting the Dr. Pavel because he has information on Bane. Well it turns out one of these "prisoners" which are now all on the plane, one of them is Bane himself. He takes over the plane and a larger plane flies on top of the smaller one. Men jump out with hooks and lines and they drag the smaller plane. Man this is cool, its like James Bond meets Inception. Bane kidnaps Dr. Pavel and they do a blood transfussion in mid air? They pump some of Pavels blood into this dead guy so that when the plane crashes, police or whatever will analyze the blood and it will come up as Dr. Pavels. Clever. So Bane gets hooked up on a line and grabs Pavel and they hang there as the smaller plane falls and crashes. It all reminded me of the sky hook scene from The Dark Knight. But oh my god, this was so cool. I have no clue how Nolan pulled this off with IMAX cameras let alone any. The score was pretty awesome as well incorporating the new "Bane theme" which is this awesome chanting. Overall this has gotten me even more hyped for The Dark Knight Rises. I almost cried in excitement, that's how much of a nerd I am.
5 out of 5 ! For ultimate Batman Badass!
If you're interested, here is the new chanting sound, which according the the new leaked trailer for the film means, RISE!
Yeah I can't wait for that movie to come out it's going to be awesome!
