Fox's analysis of the Bat A neutron bomb would also kill Batman from the radiation, in something like a few hours/days, plus leave the bat itself radioactively 'hot'. |

How can Batman run and climb in the pits without his knee brace? Actually, I'm fairly certain that you can walk without any cartilage - it's just not very good for you (bone-on-bone), and can be painful. It's actually more probable that Bruce Wayne also had ligament damage - having a torn ACL (even partially) can make it difficult to stand, and certain activities (such as pivoting under load) can cause the leg to collapse. This is repairable, too, so can be recovered from. |

Fox's analysis of the Bat There's more than one 'working prototype' Dreamliner (787). Especially if the military was planning on using them in urban warfare, it would be helpful to test them flying in close conjunction, to see if they would cannibalize each other's downdrafts (or something). There are also different 'types' of build-prototypes that may not be 'complete' - the Enterprise space shuttle was only used to test post-re-entry gliding and handling, it was never launched on a rocket. |

How did Talia find her father? Casablanca is in Morocco, which is also next to Algeria (which was European controlled through WWII). Even if some parts of the backcountry didn't have (complete) phone coverage, there will still be phones in some places. And I doubt that Talia would have had a direct line anyways. Either she called somebody who would have a direct line, or potentially Ra's had previously left men nearby (retired) that Talia had been told about. |

Was the opening scene in Dark Knight Rises there in the original script? Except they retrieved Pavel to make the bomb in the first place. One would also assume that the broad strokes of the plan were Talia's not Bane's (although she probably told him 'fake Pavel's death', not 'take this other airplane, see...') |

Did Batman break his no killing rule when he burned down the monastery in Batman Begins? Given that a number of people there were training to be ninjas (basically), I rate their ability to get out of there alive pretty high. It's not like he was stopping them after all - not while carrying Liam Neeson's character. |

Were any non-CGI movies shot in their entirety though a colored lens/filter? @DVK - Simply adjusting color levels (especially if uniform throughout the frame) is trivial, and could be done as part of the editing process. Heck, editors may do some minor tweaking regardless, just to make sure that colors match between shots. |

What technology did each Pixar movie introduce? ... Although it should be noted that all the human characters in the other films you mentioned were Motion Captured (including Gollum), while Pixar proudly displays a notice that everything is animated by hand. I don't know about fluids, but the LotR films basically wrote a AI crowd simulator for all the big battle scenes. |

In The Hunt For Red October, how was the nuclear reactor failure simulated? Actually, they explicitly call out in the book that the badges were deliberately exposed to radiation (I think by the chief engineer). Using the doctor's own x-ray machine, no less. A number of radiation detectors/Geiger counters had also been messed with. The officers following Ramius were deliberately making the leak look much larger than it really was. |

Is Hulk a pure CGI being? It should be noted that, in the case of Wall-e, both Wall-e and EVE used (post-processed) phlanged voices from real people. Otto (the auto-pilot), however, was 'voiced' by the standard Mac text-to-speech synthesizer. All Pixar animation has been done by hand, meaning no motion capture. |

What is the science behind making actors appear different? In the case of LoTR, I happen to know that particular shot was filmed by a motion-control camera in multiple passes (the breakdown is in some of the special features). The movies also made extensive use of body doubles (short people, tall people) and in-camera tricks (ie the hobbits farther from the camera than a taller person supposedly in the same plane), as well as some digital work. |

Unrelated Cast Songs for the Credits A fair number of Animes have opening/ending themes sung by one or more of the VAs in the cast (that may be thematically connected, but otherwise not related). What about those? |
