Cosmic Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Maybe Gotham has two teams. Maybe this is a concurrent league. Maybe the other league folded, and this is a new league. Maybe the slimeball owner of the Knights left town with the team's history and the Rogues are an expansion team. Maybe any of these scenarios were not particularly important to Batman, so they weren't mentioned in the comics. Is this something to even get upset about?

Fifty8_Black O Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I spent all day yesterday at the filming and 7 hours of today driving back home so I'm at little late to the party but in person the uniforms weren't bad. There were definitely a few things that drove me crazy as a uniform/sports fan (players that aren't quarterbacks or kickers wearing single digits bugs the crap out of me). But personally after seeing the uniforms as a set I didn't think they were too bad, although the silver looks way to forced in as a third color in both the uniform and midfield logo. The Rapid City Monuments away uniforms however looked pretty bad (storm trooper white set with mismatched striping patters and an identity crisis over whether green or blue was there primary color. I have a few camera pic from yesterday I'll try and get up if anyone has interest in seeing them, if not I probably wont go out of my way to do it.

Saint Zephyr III Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I think it's because Gotham Knights actually belongs to a Rugby Football Club, so it's probably to avoid copyright snuffooes.My question is WHY ARE THERE THREE TUMBLERS???? Is Batman actually providing to the police/military?? That's an AWESOME idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I don't have a problem in part because "Knights" is too on-the-nose, a silly wink to readers, and is in the title of the film. Secondly, comics readers are such a small percentage if this film's audience that I don't really care all that much about tangential background shading when translated to a different medium.

Fifty8_Black O Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Yeah they told us at the filming those were "stolen tumblers" and they weren't actually used in the filming yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouj Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Eh... I wish they had a team from Metropolis instead of Rapid City... It would have been cool, but either Nolan or one of the producers just recently said that his Batman franchise exists in its own film universe, separate from any of the Superman iterations or any of the other DC properties, so there would be no character crossovers or references. Nolan wanted his film based in something closer to reality (minus alien superheroes and such). It's similar to the approach Marvel is taking now, with all of the Avengers characters existing in a stand-alone universe from the X-Men / Spider-Man / Fantastic Four (for now, anyway).

X-Men is Fox; Spider-Man is Sony. If Marvel could include all of their franchises into one movie universe, you can bet that they would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Rogues is also a silly wink to readers, but I guess it isn't quite as bad as Knights. Still not as cool as having Bruce Wayne drive a Lamborghini Murcielago, though.

TheClevelandHockey Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Hope the team they're playing are wearing Ravens or Browns colors. What really gets me is the "great fan" stuff. It's sad to think of our country as a "Steeler Nation", because that would mean that we're a country of near-sighted inbreds from the mountains that can't speak competent English.Let's go Brownies!You mad because the Tribe is stylin' on you?
