Isn't it in the container thing when he gives it to Selina later? same alley I suppose, or it can attach to the flying thingy somehow, sure it was in the front of the tumbler originally so it can fold up to become smaller.

I like the former explanation.
I did think that it might be in the flying thingy but there just wasn't enough room.

Felt let down by the fact that Nolan had convinced the viewer to suspend disbelief and actually think the first two movies as some how "realistic", but in this movie he wasn't quite able to.

I think it was down to exceptionally cheesy dialogue and more transparent potholes.

Still an enjoyable movie though.

I loved most of the dialog but yeah, compared to the first two it was somewhat lazy and more unrealistic.

What aspects did you find more unrealistic than the previous two?

Stuff like the recovery from the broken back, not only did he recover but he managed to get into good enough shape to physically overcome Bane.
The ending, the fact that he survived the bomb and the fact that the Batwing wasn't obliterated.
DK had more a feel of Heat about whereas DKR was more like a Batman movie of old.
Stunts seemed to have been pushed that little bit more for the sake of being spectacular, at the expense of being realistic.

DKR seemed a bit sloppier / lazier in places too, with several examples being cited in this thread.

I know it's a bit daft discussing realism in a Batman movie but I definitely found the first two more realistic.
I really enjoyed DKR but I'd have to rank it as 3rd of the 3, with DK top of the list.

Two weeks on Friday for the blu ray release round these parts

Aye, I thought so. Apparently some people already have the internation edition or something, but my search proved fruitless (I will still be buying that awesome broken helmet edition thing either way)

Worst i've ever seen, in terms of disappointment. Batman Begins and The Dark Knight are among my top favourite movies, i have nothing but love for them, in my eyes they're perfect. So it's safe to say i had huge expectations for DKR. How horribly let down i was i'll never forget. I can forgive a movie outside of a franchise, or even a movie as part of a series where it has no real place anyway (Bourne Legacy for example), but not this. I should start with it's biggest problem, the complete lack of Batman himself. Not Bruce Wayne as Bruce Wayne, but Bruce Wayne actually as Batman. Right now, i remember 3 small scenes featuring Batman, totalling around 14 minutes. I also remember Bruce Wayne which angered me even more. The story made no sense, almost as if it had no story at all. Bane was awful, between the hilariously bad and unidentifiable accent, to the seemingly pregnant body he carried. Even his motives made no sense at all to me. Anne Hathaway as Catwoman was a complete joke, i like the actress, but here she's just eye candy and nothing more, she served no purpose to anything and rarely even appeared. The 2 people i will give credit to are Michael Caine and Gary Oldman, they were wonderful, outdoing themselves in the previous entries. The directing and look of the movie is incredible, no one would expect otherwise from Christopher Nolan and his team, also special notice for Hans Zimmer's fantastic score. But everything else just fails. There's a scene when Batman first appears (The Batpod chase), he has this unsual weapon we'd seen plastered everywhere in publicity shots, but do we get to see what it does? Do we heck! A cop comes along and shoots it, ruining the entire scene. Just one of the many red herrings throughout the whole farce. A couple of impressive enough scenes, but as i type this, even now i feel the anger building up. What upsets me possibly more than anything is that this truly is the end of Nolan's run of Batman, which means he will never make up to me and other people disappointed, by giving us a truly spectacular action-packed Batman movie to end his series, so shame on them, and bravo to Michael, Gary and Hans for trying.
