BANE vs JOKER

Both are A-level super villains, no doubt. Both pushed Batman to his limits.
This article is going to be short and candid. Lets focus on the pros and cons.

In my opinion, Bane was a body basher while Joker was plain mindfuck. Joker hardly used any muscle, but sheer evil fuelled him. He was an agent of sadism. Quoting Alfred from the movie,"Some people aren't looking for anything logical like money, some people just want to watch the world burn".
This phrase aptly describes Joker's persona. He was juggling with Gotham's soul at one point. A master planner, he had a way out of everything, even Gordon's MCU. Unfortunately he had to be captured since the movie has to end sometime, otherwise there's no stopping Joker. He inflected long lasting wounds on the bat. He guessed the triangle between Batman, Rachel and Harvey! He saw that Batman and Dent were working together to restore order. He wanted to create chaos and confusion between them. Which is why so cleverly he gave Batman the wrong address, knowing perfectly well that he will go for Rachel. So when finally Batman rushed to find Harvey there, he was devastated. Moreover, Harvey Dent was filled with rage and held Batman in contempt, for not rescuing his girlfriend. Multiple hits with one shot. This my friends, is sheer brilliance on the Joker's part.

Batman's incorruptible nature and anonymity got the Joker all curious about his true identity. Instead of trying to bully the Batman into confession, he attacked Batman where it would hurt most. He challenged his good and selfless nature. He played with Batman's mind by making people dress up like him and then killing them for the whole world to see. The Joker, without employing any force from his side simply short circuited Batman's brain and took him off guard. He made Batman feel guilty and helpless.

You must be wondering as to what i have to say about Bane. You know what? I don't. Because for me, Bane would have made no difference had he not worn a fancy mask and not hit the gym.

Bane: I am Gotham's reckoning. 

Joker: Ha..HA.ha..hu..ha..ahe..hahha..aha.. And i thought my joke's were bad!

BATMAN SCRUTINISED

The dark knight rises fails to impress. The simple reason being,i found more things to dislike than like.

I know you have already started groaning and judging but i have my reasons.

the dark knight was huge, this had to be bigger,i felt it wasn't.

Firstly, there was no compulsive need for batman to take the blame on himself. He and gordon could have blamed the joker for it. But no, probably bat was too tired of running around in crotch warming pants and too shy to admit it to gordon. So he enforced a leave upon himself. Cool enough.

He never got more than bruises while actually fighting. But ended up with a crutch while being locked up in a house? I mean what did he slip of his chair while pleasuring himself?

Let me get into the characters now..

BANE:

Bane is one of the most psychotic and brutal enemies of batman. Though the mask was nicely done, overall tom hardy didn't quite accentuate bane's persona. The way heath ledger seamlessly 'became' the joker, bane looked a lot more artificial. His voice had a nice creepy feel to it, completely ruined by his style of twisting words while talking. Few scenes were breath taking. I liked his unmasking in the beginning, the entire aeroplane act was pretty overwhelming. Though i believe he could have taken care of business at ground level and saved a lot of time :|

Another captivating scene was the way he was crouching on the ground and later on handles his henchmen when they capture Jim gordon.

Bane lacked the super villain feel. Inside the bank he unnecessarily banged the guy's head on the desk. That's what thugs do, not super villains.

Anyway the good thing about him is that he doesn't poop. Because he doesn't eat :|

BATMAN: His voice sounds more like a dog with a bone stuck in its throat, so much for a coarse baritone. Actor Amitabh Bachan has a more dominating voice in television commercials.

His entry scene is totally awesome. With the lights in the underground parking lot going off one by one and him literally sweeping one thug off his bike in a rapid motion. His total disregard for public property is hilarious. on one side he is funding more than half of the welfare organisations throughout gotham, on the other hand he is unnecessarily ramming his fat bike into things he knows he can break without making a fool of himself.

~Bat computer: At the next intersection turn right.

Batman: bleeh, i'll just blast through it.

Computer: why did you even bother installing me? 

Batman: bitch please.~

And i don't know if anyone noticed or not, but he fights weird! Very stiff movements,someone needs to oil his joints.

The horizontally flipping wheels are good to look at but technically impossible. Plus his bike seems to have no possible fuel storage system. Does it run on his farts? Fox likes to pamper the bat,true. But a flying ladybird is a little over the top, even for the dark knight. Not to mention its SWAG bizarre design. Anyway, Nolan had to bring it in since it was the only thing capable enough to catapult the bomb outside city limits.

CATWOMAN: The only thing i hold against her is her perfect spotless costume. The cat woman is supposed to wear skin tight spandex shredded at provocative places. But she seems to shop from Armani!

Her subtlety, swift movements accompanied with lightning fast precision blows made her the perfect thief.

Her soundtrack was bone chilling, better than either batman or bane i believe.

The plot:

I am not commenting on the storyline.

Just trying to highlight things i found stupid.

that old man fixing Bruce's protruding vertebrae by just punching it can be compared to cartoons fixing their broken necks by snapping them back in place.

bruce wayne without even having an underwear after escaping the jail, conveniently appears thousands of miles away somehow without a passport and a single cent in his pocket into a city with complete lockdown to catch cat woman under a bridge :| yeah..you're batman bruce..not superman.

kate's true identity in the end was a big shock to batman,but a bigger shin kick to bane's image. The great super villain was made to look like a pawn. a well fed beefed up dog. 

Bane wanted to fry the city anyway..so DO IT! WHY WAIT 5 MONTHS AND WAIT FOR THE BAT TO REAPPEAR AND THEN PRESENT YOUR BANE-Y ASS ON A PLATTER. Get a physicist, destabilise the nuclei and get it over with already!

Anyway, the last minute revelations combined with Zimmer's music was probably the best part of the movie. Although had i been Alfred i'd have given a hard kick in the nuts to Bruce right in that cafe for making him believe for sometime Bruce was actually dead.

BOREDOM

I don’t know how many of you can associate with this feeling. But there are times when I have nothing to do but to stare at my fingernails to see if I can actually see them grow. Yes, that’s how deep boredom gets to me at times.

There are people who know how to manage their day, who follow a strict schedule. This enables them to extract the most out of their day and feel content. On the other hand there are those, who simply cant. Their futile attempt to make everything run in a coordinated fashion makes them entangle everything and end up more frustrated than before. I myself am such a person. Writing this article is probably the most constructive thing I have done in a long while.

The Internet has really helped open a whole new dimension. Virtual it may be, it attracts users into an abyss. We have high-speed connections today to exploit the way we like and look up things online. I wonder how our counterparts in yesteryears dealt with this phenomenon called boredom. But then a general theory nullifies my wandering mind. It’s the simple theory of Expectations. The more a human being gets, the more he desires. Centuries back, perhaps a pebble throwing competition could induce adrenaline rush. As crazy as that might sound, its legitimate. Boredom might have been a way of life.

Such times often induce one of those pondering moments when you want to give some weightage to the burning question of what you want to do with life. Some assumptions are made, dreams are woven and hormones of happiness are secreted. Then the dark reality comes piercing its epicenter and you sigh to yourself.

I’m aware that this article has absolutely no significance whatsoever. And you are frowning as to why you wasted five precious minutes on this. But I ask you this, ”How bored could you be, to actually read an article on boredom?”

Peace~
