When Batman came out in '89, I was a huge 9 year old fan. I remember riding my bike to a little (literally the size of a bathroom) Citgo gas stop to buy Batman cards. I thought Batman Returns was okay, but the subsequent ones were grossly disappointing. Until Batman Begins and my asphyxiation grew and after The Dark Knight, it hit an all time high. I took the girls to see Battleship and one of the trailers was for The Dark Knight Rises. It gave me chills.

Christopher Nolan has done a superb job with Batman and July 20 can not come fast enough for this guy.

I can't wait to see it but I can't help but feel that the trailer makes it look like it is going to be really overdone. Also the most disappointing thing I noticed is that when hines ward "returns that kickoff for a touchdown" if you watch all the players around him he is the only one on the field wearing yellow, before or after the field collapses. apparently he ran back that kick 1vs11.

I think a trailer always oversells the movie. I don't think the third installment will be as good as the second, but it's more the conclusion of the story that has me intrigued not if the movie breaks any box office records. I know they filmed some of it in Pittsburgh and with the last name Ward and number 86, I was thinking it was Hines Ward too. When I seen one of the trailers in the movie, I thought I seen Ward's teammates, but then again, I could care less about something like that. Batman isn't a football movie. :)

July 20th, come quick!

Here's the first six minutes of The Dark Knight Rises . Poor quality.

Yeah, we are definitely going to see this movie. I'm not as excited about it as I was the Avengers, but that's mostly because I've always been more of a Marvel/Captain America fan growing up than a Batman fan.

I love that Bane will be the main protagonist (if you can call him that) in this one. "The Man Who Broke the Bat".. Mmmmmm..

This is a much darker adaptation of Batman, so breaking Batman might be proper for this story arc. What’s the point of using Bane then?

Anyhow, I'm a huge Batman geek. I'm really looking forward to this movie. This might be the best trilogy since Lord of the Rings.

Yeah, I have a very specific story in mind in regards to the movie. We'll see how it plays out...

Just saw the movie today. It was a lot of fun. I think it's a very good send off for Nolan's run with this character.

I think overall, really good movie. The middle kinda dragged, but they kind of had to in order to try and mesh with the comic books.

I see that Christopher Nolan is rebooting Superman and can't help wonder if he's going to do a reboot of Nightwing now with how it ended.

I've been a huge Batman fan since the 1960's. I even have a 1966 model Batmobile.

LJ sent me to watch the new film a few days ago. I wish they would have had more of "Batman" in the film. And hat's with the ending? Are they going to put the "3rd rock from the sun" kid as a new Batman, or Robin?
Any ideas?

Fan Shout
Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.
beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.
Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.
Zero2Cool (9-May) : And the OL protections seem to be good.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : -3 buwahhhahaaha
Mucky Tundra (9-May) : 4th
Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st
Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm
Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.
beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.
beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."
beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less
beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.
Martha Careful (6-May) : Happy 93rd Birthday to the Greatest Baseball Player of All-Time...Willie Mays
Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son
buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).
buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley
Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.
Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”
Zero2Cool (3-May) : Jordan Love CAN sign an extension as of today. Might tak weeks/months though
TheKanataThrilla (3-May) : Packers decline 5th year option for Stokes
Mucky Tundra (3-May) : @ProFootballTalk Jaylen Warren: Steelers' special teams coach has discussed Justin Fields returning kicks.
Zero2Cool (2-May) : Season officially ending tonight for Bucks ... sad face
Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.
dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that
dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.
Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)
Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!
earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage
beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position
dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.
dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.
Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl
Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.
dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left
dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!
packerfanoutwest (28-Apr) : having a great long snapper is gold
Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : LaFleur looking like he had some weight. Coachin will do that lol
