I remember thinking at the time TDKR came out that Bane would end up being comedy gold for YouTube redubbers. It turns out that I was not wrong!
Also, this really served to underscore what a disappointingly self-serious movie TDKR wound up being. I hope that the next filmmaking team that takes on Batman remembers that the character is supposed to be fun and weird and pulpy and quasi-fantastical, because he's really kind of dull in the Nolan films.

Question: How did Bruce Wayne get back Gotham after his stint in the suspiciously well-fed prison in like Azerbaijan?
Question: How was Bane's plan supposed to work, exactly?
Question: Why was the most complex and interesting part of the story - the transformation of Gotham City into the People's Republic Of Heavy Handed Historical Metaphors done in a montage?
Question: Why isn't Anne Hathaway's Selena Kyle in every scene and why isn't this movie just her and Bruce Wayne facing off like Charade or To Catch A Thief?

I'm sad there was Pony instead of Dancing In The Street.
Bane seems more like the kind of guy that'd get down to that and move like Jagger.
But Ponies make about as much sense as TDKR.

I definitely agree. Although they have a certain kind of b-movie dumbness at times, which is pretty jarring when they're papered over with Nolan grimness. The climax of TDKR feels at times like a deadly serious version of the "Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb!" scene in the 1966 Batman: The Movie.

The argument about how serious Batman should be is the "what color was Jesus" of superhero fandom; everyone has an opinion, each equally valid or worthless. Personally, I lean towards the BtAS interpretation of the man: Serious, but not entirely without humor. Which is not to say that Batman stories should not be far-out and occasionally ridiculous; they should be completely over-the-top. Batman himself, in my opinion, works best as the straight-man through whom we can view the comic's real stars: The completely madcap city of Gotham and the bizarre collection of miscreants who reside therein.

Agreed.
The film would have been much better with Bane cutting off the city at the very beginning and for the next 3 hours Batman has to fight his way through, one lunatic at a time, while the neo-Marxists with their neon mohawks hunt the city for that loathed billionaire Bruce Wayne who, in his excesses, has become the widely despised mascot for the worthless 1 percent.

The argument about how serious Batman should be is the "what color was Jesus" of superhero fandom; everyone has an opinion, each equally valid or worthless.Absolutely. There have just been so many interpretations of Batman's personality and the seriousness of his world - even just within the canon comics, which is just a little sliver of the whole Batman oeuvre. How serious Batman is or how realistic/serious/whatever his world is has never ever been a solid thing. Personally, I find something to like in just about all of the takes on Batman I've experienced (except maybe Kevin Smith's take, but that had more problems than just his writing of the main character - and I will put up a half-hearted defense of large chunks of Schumacher's Batman & Robin if pressed, so that's saying something). Batman '66 was just as true to the character as the Nolan trilogy, and Superfriends was just as true to the character as BTAS.
(For reals, though: Batman: The Brave and the Bold Batman is totally the best.)

Adam West's Batman is the only essential. Exactly the kind of thing a seven year old would take seriously, but a nine year old would find stupid, and then an eleven year old could see the humor in. At least, it worked that way for me. And I've never been able to take tough-guys-in-capes-tights-etc seriously since.

Movies like TDKR always have to thread the suspension-of-disbelief needle very carefully. If you start doing blatantly lazy things that aren't apparently practical even in the universe you've crafted for your viewers, they'll roll their eyes and hate you for it.
That began precisely at the stock market scene for me, followed by the "digitally-induced ruin" of Wayne Enterprises that followed. What an idiotic concept and premise and lazy bit of storytelling to allow the villains access to Batman's toys.
It wasn't made any better when megalomaniacal crazy person wished to destroy the city with über bomb that he commands his (motivated-exactly-how?) goons to play a truck-based shell game with.
Bleh.
I much preferred The Dark Knight, because Heath Ledger's psychotic villainous Joker was simply that: a psychotic asshole terrorist who enjoyed making trouble. No heavy-handed preaching, just plain being awful for shits and giggles.
This was absolutely hilarious, by the way. It's so well done that it actually requires LESS suspension-of-disbelief than the actual movie.

Not as bad as "I invented a device that will produce cheap clean power, but I won't release it because it could be turned into a nuclear bomb with a lower yield than the 10,000 nuclear fission devices already kicking around the country; so I left it completely assembled and operational despite the fact that I'm not actually using it to power anything and I think it will destroy the city and the world if it falls into the wrong hands".

At this point, I think the debate between Campy-Batman and Grim-Batman is academic. The thing that annoyed me about the Nolan movies is how they reduced Batman -- who is typically presented as something of an all-purpose renaissance man in the Doc Savage mold -- to basically just a sullen trust-fund kid, who took some ninja lessons, and happened to have a bunch of discarded military prototypes in a basement somewhere, which he spent an afternoon spray-painting black. I never got the sense that the Nolan Batman had really put any particular amount of personal work into being Batman, just a lot of money and lucky family connections. In their own way, I think the Nolan movies got the character about as wrong as the Schumacher ones, just in the opposite tonal direction.

I enjoyed this, there was something so jovial about Bane that I thought went well with how terrifying he was as a legend until, well, they took away his legend for a twist at the end and gave it to someone else making him far less compelling.

Someone on Mefi once made a comparison between how Tony Stark used his magic generator in Avengers to how Bruce Wayne uses it in TDKR and I found that to be a pretty good example of why I am far more compelled by the Bat(at least the Nolan version) than I am by Ironman. Stark uses his to power a pretty obvious vanity project, the big tower with his name on it. Wayne uses his to power the city, perhaps the world if developed properly. Stark is either too naive or too arrogant to consider the fact that it's probably be pretty easy to trace those power lines back to the source and steal it. Wayne builds his with a killswitch.
I think it probably comes down to upbringing and personalities. Stark is living in his genius inventor dad's shadow. Wayne is living in his philanthropist father's shadow. Stark is optimistic (obviously everything works out, I am great) Wayne is a pessimist (this could all go wrong anytime)
Stark is his own statue, holding himself up above everyone, look how wonderful I am.
Wayne's statue is an anonymous masked vigilante erected after he's dead.
I kind of hate the fact that Nolan didn't leave more ambiguity as to whether or not Wayne actually did survive. I am more compelled by the idea of the hero not exactly winning at the end. For me the top never stops spinning. I see the glass as half-empty so when Stark tells me he can make it fill itself I'm just like, yeah, okay Tony, whatever man you're not living in the real world.
And when they tell me Batman is dead, well, at least I know he did the best that he could and that's enough for me because hey, he's just a guy you know?

I agree with the video creator's opinion that Bane sounds like someone doing an impersonation of someone doing a Sean Connery impersonation.
And I only came across the video after being disappointed that no one still had yet done a satisfying one where Bane footage is dubbed with Darrell Hammond.
