no guns... unless it's mounted to a military vehicle right next to the rocket launchers.

The dark knight rises was ok.
I have seen a lot of people either really like it or absolutely hate it.
Plot holes blah blah blah.
Not realistic blah blah blah.
For me it holds to the same standard of the first 2.

without getting spoilery
i will say,

since batman begins, bruce wayne has not really made a decision of his own. this holds true all the way to the end of this trilogy,

there is no detective in this batman, pretty much in most of the movies.

i decided to watch batman returns the other day.

i actually cringed at the dialogue. it was so shitty and the moments of lets have each character do something character like was just awful.
in theory the movie is awesome.
blowing up clowns
jacking the penguin
hot chick in tight leather
Christopher Walken
tim burton film with no johnny depp

but as i sit there and watch realizing that this was the "more realistic" version of batman back in it's day. i wonder what fucked up beetlejuice saturn world does tim burton live in?you have 2 characters that in the comics don't even have powers or deformities.

now i bring this up because most people say the dark knight rises is not very realistic.
well let's just pretend real quick (because these are the same people that compare it to batman returns) that the dark knight rises and batman returns were historical documents and you were reading them as eye witness accounts to an event.

now who's version of what happened sounds more realistic?

penguin looking dude in the sewer teams up with cat powered catwoman to stop batman? frame him for murder and let the cops chase him.... that is until batman pulls a dj jazzy jeff (you know what i'm talking about.) and sends an angry mob after the penguin all frankenstein style because he talked shit about gotham or whatever it was. nevermind that batman murdering someone thing. that's in the past of last week. time to send an army of penguins to destroy gotham.

OR

well how do i put this with less spoilers.
hostile occupy gotham takeover by some dude in a mask terrorist situation. while some chick in tight leather with cat ears robs the shit out of the city or something. with a cops vs crooks battle that makes keystone looks like Cambodia.

i'll not go into the plot holes or even pretend they were not there, because they were HUGE!
i mean shit goes down and the government is like oh fuckin well. we have plans on top of plans for shit like this but eh gotham has the batman so let's just get some coffee.

ok ok ok

this is a spoiler. cause i have to say this.

when you lift some guy over your head and bring him down on your knee and that dislodges a bone in your spine. we'll pretend it doesn't paralyze you and you were just lucky it only put pressure on your spinal chord. i don't care if mr miyagi is your attendant they are not going to "pop" it back into place by spitting on their hands and slapping the shit out of your back in the same motion that it took to hurt it.


ok sorry

anyway.
the point is.

how many times has that scenario, happened where some super villain takes over a city in real life? never.
how many times does some clown hold the city in fear? well it could happen but not really.
how many times does a city get attacked by ninjas? well it happens in my town often but... nevermind

none of these batman movies are realistic because they are designed to entertain.

ok another spoiler

if you are one of those people who are like "how did he escape the explosion? there was no way." goto walmart and look for the bat vehicle that he flies in the movie it has a gimmick that explains it all for you.

i think i'm just going to stop here.

i liked the movie.
