According to digital spy, TDKR has been given a PG13 rating by the MPAA.

The film, which is scheduled for release in the US and the UK on July 20, has allegedly earned a PG-13 rating, the same grade as its predecessor The Dark Knight, according to Collider.

The superhero sequel allegedly contains "intense sequences of violence and action, some sensuality and language".

The receipt of a rating indicates that the movie should be near completion.

Hmmm, still not sure what to make of Catwoman's costume - looks a tad daft. From what I could make out in other pics, I think the ears are actually some sort of nightvision goggles that flip down & cover the mask portion. I think.

I don't like batmans mask and his suit is a bit much, looks like its just missing nipples. Although I think it might be because i'm so anti-bale being bats.

Catwoman's suit looks fine. It's the mask/goggles that look silly. And the fact that she's wearing red lipstick. Oh and the stilettos! But those pictures were probably taken during costumes tests. I'm sure everything will look much better in the actual film.

I'm more worried about whether Hathaway will be convinced as a female action hero. I still have images of a severally undernourished Angelina Jolie beating up guys in Salt. Convincing hand-to-hand combat isn't one of Nolan's strong points, so I hope he pulls it off.

They should just give her a cowl & goggles like this:



Hathaway's costume looks like the one from the 60's TV show.

It is fluid resistant.

I can assure that.

I still think the Begins suit is better but it makes more sense in the story to have the lightweight body armour style one for mobility.

Why are costumes always such a sticking point in these movies? Seems like every comic book movie has these kinds of discussions (Avengers, Superman and now this). Superheros and villains are daft anyway. Having 'realistic' costumes doesn't do much to mitigate that fact.

Nothing to do with realism, its whether they look cool or not, purely aesthetical imho! you could also argue they need to make sense within the universe they're set, so if they try to make Batman's costume practical and semi realistic they should to the same with everyone else's. The only costume that I've heard anyone complain about in The Avengers is Captain America's one which looks daft, the costume in his own movie looked great, the new one looks more like the one he wore for the USO show sequences.

aye, its about context, the costume in Burtons Batman worked really well as its never explained how he gets it, you just go along with it and it looks cool. at least in Begins its got a reason for it being what it is, its just fancy body armour with stuck on bits he makes himself.

Because in comics where most of these originated bright garish costumes work well. On screen not so much. Would you really like to see Hugh Jackman in Yellow Spandex?

Daft? Boy did you come to the wrong thread.

I dunno, maybe? I don't think it matters. Yellow spandex seemed to work fine in the new movie.

But they are, and I don't mean that in a disparaging way. It's escapism at the end of the day, with the movies at least. If you can suspend your disbelief and accept that a Norse God from space can live amongst humans and fly, then what's wrong with some funny outfits?

That's going off topic into Avengers stuff, but I don't see a problem with any of the outfits, even yellow spandex. I can accept the point about context as well, but if you ask me Catwoman's suit is perfectly in tone with the psuedo-realistic angle that these films have been going for

Mickeroo

^^

1. That's not spandex they're wearing.

2. X-men: First Class is set in 1962, the brightly coloured costumes are very much in keeping with the retro setting/feel of the film.

I get where you're coming from, Super-hero's are unrealistic, but they still have to make sense and be believable within the universe they are set in. Thor showing up in the Nolan Batman universe would make no sense for example.

And in fairness Thor, Hercules, Super-man Jesus were all still superheroes before Marvel or DC showed up :pac:

Hmmm, is Bane in some sort of stock exchange? He's taking hostages by the looks of things anyway. I remember someone here mentioning Nolan dallied with the idea of using footage from the Occupy Wall St movement in the film, and the trailer does make allusions to a class struggle at large... I'm wondering if this is going to be the big theme of the film; might explain how Bane successfully takes control of the city I guess, that's it's all a more aggressive form of the Occupy fad.
