That has always been its appeal, and I think people who are saying, you know, 'Dark Knight Rises is, you know, supreme cinema art,' I don't think they know what the f**k they're talking about."

He needs to walk into an actual comic book store. Or read a comic for that matter. The people looking at comic books aren't children. This isn't 1950. The majority of readers are adults and it's been that way the last 15 or 20 years. I hate when people take this angle with comic books...as if comic books can't tell compelling stories which is ridiculous. The only difference from an actual novel is that it's sequential storytelling. That's it.

I agree, well maybe not best but most creative. However there is plenty of other quotes to be pulled out of there that are cringe worhty.
The 3D one was just down right hilarious to me.
Also Jurassic park for real life is the best worst idea ever.

That's also the least absurd thing Cronenberg said in that interview. Although personally the Prestige is right up there with Memento, just as enjoyable, although a little less great.

Dolly had a surrogate mother. What exactly are you going to stick dinosaur DNA in?

I'm most disturbed that there's someone in the voice cast that hasn't said a word in the year and a half that he's been in the WWE.

I don't even view Nolan's Batman movies as superhero movies really. I think Avengers was a perfect typical superhero movie. Lots of action, some humor and a decent story line. The Batman movies were just great films that happen to have a superhero in it.

Well Batman isn't a super hero. He has no super power. He's a detective.

Yes they were less 'popcorn film' than Avengers, but I'm still inclined to consider them more as a movie than a film to be honest. It's not really a negative against the film, I just think that the Batman character masks flaws and allows them to tell stories that would otherwise not be possible.
Also a super-hero doesn't need to have 'super powers'.

It's about what you believe. Anyone can be Batman. That doesn't make them a superhero.
Quote:

A superhero (sometimes rendered super-hero or super hero) is a type of stock character possessing "extraordinary or superhuman powers" and dedicated to protecting the public
|
Quote:
|
By most definitions, characters do not strictly require actual superhuman powers to be deemed superheroes,[3] although terms such as costumed crime fighters are sometimes used to refer to those such as Batman and Green Arrow without such powers who share other common superhero traits. Such characters were generally referred to as "mystery men" in the so-called Golden Age of Comic Books to distinguish them from characters with super-powers.

I'd say anyone can dress up like a crime fighter and do their best to try and save the planet. But not the Batman we've come to know which exists because of Bruce's unique experiences.
I don't think you need to have super powers to be considered a superhero either.

Anyone can be Batman does not mean everyone can be Batman. Being Batman would require something very, very special, i.e. what brings the character into consideration as being a super hero. Anyone can be Batman, but I am pretty sure no one on this forum could, or 99.999999% of the rest of the people on this planet.

Just like no one could built a fantastic suit of armor (Iron Man).
