Why didn't the prisoners who helped Bruce try to escape from the pit themselves?

Indeed the other prisoners (or some of them, the younger ones maybe) still try to escape from the pit, they just don't make it. There is a scene where one tries to escape while Bruce is still lying pa …

How does Batman know to rescue Selina Kyle outside the home of John Daggett?

He didn't know Selina was there at all and didn't come for her, but for Dagget (and ultimately Bane). So it was indeed a coincidence that he arrived just in time. As to the question of why he was vis …
