Talk:The Dark Knight Rises

The Dark Knight Rises box office with rereleases is $1.115 billion via box office mojo https://www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt1345836/ it was also listed here for $1.115 billion but why has someone changed it to $1.085 billion claiming box office mojo has Australia gross added twice which I don’t see that’s untrue if someone could please change that.

The new lifetime total at Box Office Mojo is incorrect. The re-release gross for for 2024 double-counts the original Australian gross. As you can see at the entry for the 2024 reissue, The Dark Knight Rises opened with $44,000 dollars, and the total went up to $29.6 million: . Incidentally, if you add $29.6 million on to the original gross of $1.085 billion, then you get the figure of $1.115 billion. This higher figure is plain wrong, because the Australian re-release gross is double counting the gross from the original Australian release. If you had bother to follow the link I had provided in my edit summary (rather than edit-warring) then all of this clearly explained at WP:BOXOFFICEMOJO. The outline of the issue even provides a link to the discussion with representatives of Box Office Mojo: https://web.archive.org/web/20201111022424/https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/imdbcom/tons-of-data-corruption-at-box-office-mojo/5f4a7cb68815453dba106d8f. Pay particular attention to Murray's answer:

The cause of these problems is that distributors are inconsistent when reporting data for re-releases; sometimes they start counting gross-to-date from zero, and sometimes they start reporting it from the last known value, even if it was decades ago.

Oh ok sorry my bad I didn’t see the link good correction I wanted to ask do you think the aurora shooting effected The Dark Knight Rises box office if so by how much? Ahmed Alency (talk) 05:10, 26 March 2025 (UTC)

First sentence of the section states it was "a 24-year-old gunman", and the second sentence states it was "24-year-old James Eagan Holmes". Is it really necessary to identify him as being 24-years-old twice? Wouldn't just stating "...later identified as James Eagan Holmes..." convey the same information in the section? 104.184.182.119 (talk) 02:41, 31 July 2025 (UTC)

Sorry if this has been discussed before, but as far as I can remember, Anne Hathaway's character is never actually called "Catwoman" in the movie; she's just called Selina. Should we be calling Catwoman if the film doesn't? ~~ Jessintime (talk) 15:26, 25 August 2025 (UTC)

She should be referred to by the name in the credits or how she is addressed in the film itself. If the name "Catwoman" isn't used then it shouldn't appear in the plot summary. Betty Logan (talk) 20:12, 27 August 2025 (UTC)

Should the "Plot" section detail why he wears the mask? No one cared why he did until they put it in the "Design" section. It's a big detail for the movie ~2026-40239-59 (talk) 06:40, 17 July 2026 (UTC)

The article's introduction states "Nolan drew inspiration from Bane's comic book debut in the 1993 "Knightfall" storyline, the 1986 series The Dark Knight Returns, and the 1999 storyline "No Man's Land". But there is no source to verify this.

Later in the Development section there is this, "The film's storyline was compared to the Batman comic book series' story arc "Knightfall" (1993), which showcases Bane; the miniseries The Dark Knight Returns (1986), in which Batman returns to Gotham City after a ten-year absence; and the story arc "No Man's Land" (1999), which depicts a Gotham cut off from the rest of the world and overrun by gangs."... which has two sources, but I checked both articles and they are not reliable.

The article Clues from the Comics About Batman’s Fate in The Dark Knight Rises is based on purely speculations. No interviews from Nolan here.

And then the author in the article "Bat Signal Up : Here’s what we know so far about The Dark Knight Rises." claims that "The filmmakers say three Batman stories in particular serve as the inspiration for ”The Dark Knight Rises”. However! This author never once cites a source where Nolan and the writers actually states this.

This needs to be changed. Hollowshape (talk) 09:44, 5 August 2026 (UTC)
