I actually think he had three "levels" of minions. League of Shadows members. These are the ones that are willing to lay down their lives for him and "the cause" Thugs. Disposable minions that he may pay to do things that he may not want directly tied to the League (guys running the cement trucks, the one that he shot, etc.) Street urchins. These are ...

He wanted the flight crash to make it look like the death of Dr Pavel, so he took the blood from Pavel and put it in other guy so that when they find the bodies after the crash they can confirm the death of pavel by his blood signature. I think Bane wanted Pavel to be assumed dead because a nuclear scientist missing would bring needless attention to the ...

Blake doesn't have a full confirmation that Wayne is Batman, but as he explains to Bruce, he always had an inkling. Blake talks about losing parents is something no child can ever move on from, not someone stuck in an orphanage like him, or someone like Wayne, with boundless money and potential. Its a kind of unspoken comradery that only those in the ...

If I'm remembering right, the techs say that the change was 'checked in'. I took this to mean 'checked into source control'. That is: There are two bats They both use the same software, which includes (non-functional) autopiloting. Bruce Wayne was planning on using one of them, but needed the autopilot fixed. So he modified the autopilot. Being the ...

Chaos and Anarchy are the greatest overarching themes of the entire trilogy. In Batman Begins, we are presented a Gotham that is seemingly serene, as we witness a young Bruce playing in his garden, blissful and happy. Until one fateful night, his parents are taken from him in a drastic event that spirals his world completely out of control, into chaos. We ...

It's a matter of the director having a specific vision of how his Batman stories will become. In the first two films, Christopher Nolan wanted to bring Batman back to his roots, explore how Bruce Wayne became Batman, and how Batman became the legend he is (in the 1989 Batman film, when Vicki Vale asks Bruce why bats, he replies "They're great survivors"; in ...

As per this link: Director Christopher Nolan decided against referencing Heath Ledger's The Joker character in the new Batman film, insisting acknowledging the "real-life tragedy" of the late star was "inappropriate".... He explains, "We're not addressing The Joker at all. That is something I felt very strongly about in terms of my relationship with ...

A screenshot from the trailer shows that the rope doesn't go all the way to the top:

The fact that Ra's disappeared after talking with Bruce leads you to strongly believe that he was nothing more than a hallucination. Keep in mind a couple of things: Bruce had just undergone serious physical trauma (getting his broken back reset); Ra's had figured out how to use a lotus flower to cause a person to see a blurred view of the world ...

It was really happening. Towards the end during the climax scene it was focussed on all characters who are still alive. We see Morgan Freeman looking at the Bat to see it had a software update, we see Gordon looking at the new Bat symbol. We see there is a package for Blake which leads him to Batcave. the only alive characters remaining are Alfred and ...

I just realised in Batman Begins the following is said: Bruce: "He's not a member of the League of Shadows?" Ra's al Ghul: "Oh course not! He thought our plan was to hold the city to ransom." So clearly Scarecrow was only being used as a pawn who managed to weaponize the neuro-toxin.

MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD Imagine it's a week before the opening scene. Bane is scheming on how to destroy Gotham, learns of Wayne's fusion reactor/neutron bomb via Miranda/Talia, and decides it will be his main device to hold Gotham in fear while he lets them destroy themselves from the inside. Sinister, indeed. Bane also comes to learn Dr. Pavel is the only ...

Considering the fact that they were mere moments from being in the blast radius of a nuclear explosion, I can confidently argue that neither Talia nor Bane expected to get out of this situation alive, and that their eventual death was part of their plan. This sequence is merely Talia and Bane recognizing that, if their plan comes to fruition, that moment ...

In the movie Bane was trying to cause chaos in the city by pitting the rich against the poor. You see those judgements passed for the rich people who lived their life so luxuriously given by Crane. Revealing the fact that Bruce Wayne (who is one of the richest people in the gotham) to be Batman might create the idea that not all rich people are bad and might ...

I found this piece online while looking for something related to the Dent Act. Looks real enough to think that it was released as part of the trailer. I think it provides stricter penalties and parole denial to put fear into people committing organized crime. Anyone probably arrested on suspect could be tried immediately rather than the usual turn around ...

According to numerous resources, nuclear detonation cause rapid waves but that waves couldn't enough to propagate hazardous tsunami waves. Tsunami are huge ocean waves caused by natural forces like underwater earthquakes. According to tsunami website, Could Nuclear testing create a tsunami? Nuclear testing at and near Pacific islands, with ample ...

It was added in post. It is well documented that many audience members found his speech inaudible during the opening scene which was shown with M:I 4 - so Nolan went back in and reconfigured the audio. See The Hollywood Reporter article (one of many) Naturally Hardy would have said his lines during filming so that everyone else could react to them, but it ...

Timeline Info from Script: When the Young Prisoner (Young Talia, though not introduced as such at the time) is introduced, the Script says she is 'about 10'. INSERT CUT: a child of about ten looks up towards the light When Miranda Tate is introduced, the Script says she is in her 30s. Alfred talks to an elegant woman, thirties, Miranda Tate. So ...

Deh-Shay Deh-Shay Bah-Sah-Rah is what they are chanting. There are strong notions suggesting that its moroccan which translate to He Rises. He Rises. The guy in the movie says it means rise. I am guessing chant is the motivation for the person to climb up which could literally means He rises when the crowd are chanting. The second notion is a bunch of ...

As far as I see, it's still a prison and those prisoners who are under Bane's orders are trapped in the same way as Bruce Wayne was. There was no privilege which they enjoyed specifically more than him though. Secondly Bruce was stuck there for a time that was time long enough to develop some camaraderie and seeing his passion and reaction to the way Gotham ...

This is an interview with Edwin Lyman, PhD, scientific director for the Nuclear Control Institute, in November 2001. Member Question: What are the levels of radiation risk at 10 miles, 100 miles, 100,000 miles from ground zero? How far can the radiation travel? Is that based solely on wind direction? Edwin Lyman: Well, again one should distinguish ...

Well, most people often forget how easy it is to recognize somebody by voice and Bruce Wayne is kind of a celebrity. So changing his voice is a natural consequence of Nolan's making Batman more realistic. Of course Superman can't be Clark Kent, as he's obviously missing the characteristic glasses ;) And well, it surely also contributes to his dramatic ...

The answer to why the city thinks Bruce is dead is - the city assumes Bruce Wayne is dead because of the riots. There is no body but one can assume the city thinks it's because of all the chaos. Also Gordon, Alfred, Blake and Fox probably helped in covering his trail by telling everyone they saw Bruce die, maybe even a nice quiet funeral. Logically, the ...

It's one of the clues given by the Director for the audience building towards the surprise ending we're treated where its revealed that Talia is the one climbed out of the pits and not Bane. There were many clues which makes sense after the ending including Talia's interest in the Reactor initially during the movie (the scene involving the board and stuff) ...

I have been doing a bit of reading on this subject, and most of the reports articles I have read indicate that the script was in development well before the events of 'Occupy Wall Street' - that said, there are several parallels, and there is one article at theweek.com which sums up the opposing views quite nicely. To whit: Nolan casts Bane as the leader ...

There is a difference getting stabbed normally and with the bat suit on which could absorb some of the major damage intended. We can assume the fact that he is using the same suit he used from Dark Knight at this point, although one more curious point to note is during the earlier scene when he meets Lucius fox for the first time in the third movie he seems ...

Creators Kane and Finger started the Batman series, and only addressed his background after about 6 months (from Batman - The Complete History: The Life and Times of the Dark Knight by Les Daniels: Later editions expanded the mythology. According to the DC Comics wiki, in the Earth-One series: As Bruce became a teenager, he dedicated himself towards ...

I think story-wise these things needed to happen: The Harvey Dent Act had to have a real effect on Gotham's crime rate. Harvey Dent himself had to become a legend. The Batman's own legend had to fade away. Talia al Ghul had to become old enough to be part of the story. Whether 4 years would've been enough for all this to happen is debatable IMO, ...

I felt that while we assumed Bane was the child that escaped, it was because we knew his backstory included him being incarcerated as a child. I think that this is still the case and that the mirroring of his own circumstances was enough to want to protect Talia and help her be free. He was a man tortured by hope amongst criminals in the pit, he ended up ...

Analyzing the past two films and Rises, Nolan (Director) and his brother Jonathan (Screenplay Writer) are trying to envision a world where they asked the question… "What if... Batman existed in our current world today as opposed to the comics." Thus the feel and directing has a less comic book-ish (if that's a word) look, and more of a real world view. This ...
