The Dark Knight Rises	comment	As the final installment of the The Dark Knight Trilogy, spoilers for all preceding films, including The Dark Knight will be left unmarked ahead. You Have Been Warned!The Dark Knight Rises is a 2012 superhero thriller film, and the third and final entry in Christopher Nolan's Batman film series, The Dark Knight Trilogy.Eight years after the events of The Dark Knight, Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) has retired from his work as the Batman and settled into an unhappy (and secluded) life as the CEO of Wayne Enterprises. The Dent Act has helped the police slow the spread of organized crime in Gotham City to a controllable crawl without Batman's help. Commissioner James Gordon (Gary Oldman), now resigned to paperwork instead of fieldwork because of the downturn in crime, has to deal with attempts by other city officials to drive him out of office for good — while keeping the truth about Batman's disappearance a secret so Gotham can retain its newfound peace.But the peace Batman has given his beloved city comes under threat just when Gotham needs him the most. A wily thief named Selina Kyle (Anne Hathaway) draws the Batman out of hiding by robbing Bruce Wayne, but it is the appearance of the masked terrorist Bane (Tom Hardy) in Gotham that sets off a firestorm of events that ultimately forces Batman to consider how much he's really willing to sacrifice in order to save Gotham City.Warner Bros. went on to reboot the Batman movie franchise twice since, in 2016 with Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (which is part of the DC Extended Universe) and in 2022 with The Batman.

The Dark Knight Rises / int_109dbb51	type	Pull the Thread
The Dark Knight Rises / int_109dbb51	comment	Again with Gordon and Blake; at different points both men have a conversation about Batman's identity. The first time, Blake is poking holes in the lie that Gordon and Batman built around Harvey Dent and wonders whether Gordon ever tried to find out who Batman was. Gordon wearily replies "I know who he was. He was the Batman." After Bruce Wayne's memorial, Blake expresses frustration that no one in Gotham truly knows who saved the city. Gordon, knowing that the truth about Batman's heroism has been revealed either way and sounding a lot more satisfied and at peace, replies with "They know. It was the Batman."

The Dark Knight Rises / int_112890b3	comment	Secret Identity: Deconstructed; Batman cannot keep his secret from everyone, which sometimes leads to problems. In addition to the ones who found out in the previous two movies, several people find out who he is in this one: John Blake, another orphan, recognizes Bruce Wayne's Stepford Smiler faÃ§ade, and figures out that the billionaire with the Dark and Troubled Past must be the Batman. He is a Secret Secret-Keeper. The villains know exactly who Batman is because they are Avenging the Villain of the first movie, making them Secret Secret Keepers. Selina Kyle, the new Love Interest, discovers Batman's identity as a result of being forced to watch Batman's first fight with Bane. In the end, Batman finally lets Gordon know who is under the mask.

The Dark Knight Rises / int_113480b7	comment	Despite being an original character for the movies, John Blake borrows elements from a number of comics' characters. Namely the first three Robins. His full name is Robin John Blake, he became a police officer as an adult and is an orphan like Dick Grayson (who also shares "John" as a middle name), his street smarts and being an orphan who had to fend for himself long before meeting Bruce mirror Jason Todd, and he deduces Bruce Wayne is Batman like Tim Drake. Finally, similar to Dick, he takes up the mantle as Gotham's protector after Bruce's "death". Furthermore, he takes some inspiration from Batman Beyond's Terry McGinnis, taking up the mantle from an older, limping, retired Bruce, never having been a Robin, and being fed up with some of the secrets in the Bat Family.

The Dark Knight Rises / int_13eea985	comment	Arbitrary Skepticism: Even after two major terror attacks in the past decade conducted by, respectively, an Illuminati-like society of ninjas and a flamboyant maniac in a clown outfit, the Gotham Police Department immediately dismisses Jim Gordon's tale of a mercenary army living in the sewers, led by a man wearing a strange mask. However, it's been eight years since the events of The Dark Knight, and Batman has been their primary target. The Congressman brings up that Gordon is a war hero in peacetime; no one wants the peace interrupted so he can feel useful again. You would also think that perhaps the police would take Gordon's claims about Bane seriously after the Stock Exchange heist, given that Bane is seen, full mask and all, by hundreds of hostages on the trading floor, but there's no dialogue to imply that they came to their senses.

Nolan even thought about filming footage of the Occupy protests for Rises, but ended up not doing so.

When playing Bane, his anesthetic mask deepens his voice a bit, especially his sotto comments. Some foreign dubs, such as the French Canadian one, have Bane use a very deep voice (possibly due to his Vocal Dissonance in English), though in this particular dub the final film toned it down a bit.

The Dark Knight Rises / int_17ce80aa	type	All There in the Manual
The Dark Knight Rises / int_17ce80aa	comment	All There in the Manual: The novelization adds a lot of details, like giving characters full names if they only have a first or last name mentioned (even minor bit part characters), or adding extra clarifying details about the plot. Some examples: Expanded continuity nods to previous films. For instance, the barriers in the stock exchange heist are said to have been installed after the Joker's attack in the second movie, and they were installed to deter truck bombs. The real barriers seen in the film are on Wall Street, and they had been installed for the exact same purpose and also following a terrorist attack: the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. Another example is that the novelization makes clear that Bruce hobbles on a cane because of a bad left leg, and that it's because of him spraining it in the same fall that killed Harvey Dent at the end of The Dark Knight. An explanation is given as to how Blake was able to find the cement truck driver at the cement plant: he detected a familiar scent. This scent is not elaborated on, but we have to presume that either it was deodorant, or we go on the idea that the truck driver was wearing cologne (some colognes are pretty strong). It is explained that the cops who weren't trapped underground were retirees, green cadets, or desk duty men. The roof where Bruce parked the Bat is better explained to be the roof of the building where his penthouse apartment in The Dark Knight was. The novelization is mostly based off of the script, but it also helps indicate what dialogue in the movie was ad-libbed. It even indicates what dialogue was cut. One example: when the police first attempt to corner Batman during the car chase following the stock exchange robbery, a police officer on a megaphone orders him to step away from his bike, and he also tries to get McGarrity (the shoeshine henchman) to talk by asking him, "What were you stealing?!" before smashing his visor and taking the laptop. The novelization also rearranges the order of some of the scenes. In the novelization, the meeting Bruce has with Fox where the Bat is unveiled takes place before Bruce visits Gordon at the hospital and dances with Selina Kyle, where it happens after these scenes. The scene is also longer, as prior to Fox finding Bruce in his office, he's finishing up a board meeting and turning down a request by Miranda Tate to see Bruce. It is revealed that she is also aware of Daggett's attempts to take over Wayne Enterprises.

The Dark Knight Rises / int_19ebe383	type	Never Trust a Trailer
The Dark Knight Rises / int_19ebe383	comment	Never Trust a Trailer: The dramatic exchange between Bruce and Alfred regarding the latter swearing to protect Bruce and failing does not come up in the actual scene. Alfred utters similar lines, though, at the film's finale. Also, trailers make it appear that Selina and Bane are close allies, but in reality she's more or less blackmailed and intimidated into giving him occasional help. One trailer has Selina's line "You don't owe these people any more. You've given them everything!", which she says when she is mounting the Batpod. Given the above lie, you'd be forgiven for thinking she utters the line in defiance. In fact, she is pleading desperately for Batman to not potentially risk himself in vain. That said, Batman's line "Not everything... not yet" carries the exact same meaning in both the trailers and the final product in that he knows the people still need a true legend. In an example of Never Trust A Leak, one of Selina's lines, when leaked out of context, made fans assume that she'd be allied with Bane. In reality, she says the line to deceive the actual flunkies of Bane. Hines Ward, when outrunning the imploding field, doesn't drop his football in shock in the movie. Bane doesn't say "Let the games begin" when he's about to fight Batman, but actually when he's about to press the detonator to blow up the city's bridges and football stadium. The shots of the Bat and placement of Selina's and Bruce's banter inside it make it seem as if it's involved only in the climax of the film. It actually debuts very early, when Batman is rescuing Selina from Bane right after the Stock Exchange attack. Bane's "when Gotham is ashes" line is said more slower and has a word or two added to it. One scene from the trailers portrays a Tumbler firing on the battle between Bane's forces and the police at city hall. This never actually appears in the movie, although a similar scene appears in the script and novelization.

The Dark Knight Rises / int_1a8dc238	type	Underestimating Badassery
The Dark Knight Rises / int_1a8dc238	comment	Underestimating Badassery: Bruce underestimates Bane early on in much the same fashion that he underestimated the Joker in the previous film, dismissing Bane as nothing more than another mercenary, just as he'd dismissed the Joker as just another criminal, believing that all he had to do was "fight harder" to beat him. This blows up in his face when he fights Bane the first time, which ends with Bruce being thrown into the Pit with a broken back. Daggett also makes the mistake of underestimating Bane - or rather overestimating his own control over Bane (he never had any to begin with). See where that got him. Bane underestimates Bruce after leaving him in the Pit, believing he'll never get free and will therefore live with the shame of his failure for the rest of his life. Naturally, this doesn't work out for him. Talia makes the same mistake. Even when her plan is hindered one time, she is insistent Batman will never stop her and to keep him alive to ensure he witnesses his failure. She even dies insisting this after he escapes and mortally wounds her. But never thought the length Bruce was willing to go to save the city, rendering all her efforts and death for naught.

The subversion, however, comes from the fact that Bane is lying to Gotham about his intentions the whole time and is only reading the speech to sow discord.

The Dark Knight Rises / int_1b65dfad	comment	The Cameo: Both current and former Pittsburgh Steelers football players were brought in to cameo as the Gotham Rogues. The most notable of these cameos is former Steelers receiver Hines Ward, the player that outruns the imploding football field, then turns around and drops the football in shock. McFarlane Toys even made a special action figure of him in the Gotham Rogues uniform. In addition to Ward, other Steelers players who make cameos include Big Ben Roethlisberger, Brett "The Diesel" Keisel, Mike Wallace, Maurkice Pouncey, and Rashard Mendenhall. Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl (a former college kicker) kicks off for the Rapid City Monuments. Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT), who the Joker terrorizes in The Dark Knight, reappears in this film as a member of the Wayne Enterprises board. He can be seen when Bane takes the Wayne Enterprises board hostage. John Nolan, Christopher Nolan's uncle, who played the cop in Following, reprises his role as Wayne Enterprises board member Douglas Frederics from Batman Begins. Cillian Murphy as Dr. Jonathan Crane proves to be quite resilient in his three-appearance streak. Liam Neeson as Ra's Al Ghul in a hallucination.

The Dark Knight Rises / int_1cc2ea8d	comment	Villain Ball: Talia spends a couple of minutes monologuing to Batman about her childhood while holding the detonator instead of pressing it, giving Gordon enough time to temporarily disable the bomb. Batman immediately lampshades this, turning Talia's words right back and saying that the "slow knife" was, in this case, too slow. Here it's justified, however, since blowing stuff up wasn't the villain's major purpose, while tormenting Batman was. Bane spends much of the movie being very effective, but still makes the cardinal villain mistake of leaving Bruce locked in an Oubliette and assumes he'll rot in there until Bane's plan is complete, rather than escape and return for the final battle. Bane even tells Bruce his entire plan after dropping him off in the pit! This is Talia's villain ball as well, since it's her plan too. When given a second chance, Talia makes the same decision, but Bane decides to disobey.

The Dark Knight Rises / int_222969af	type	All There in the Script
The Dark Knight Rises / int_222969af	comment	All There in the Script: The final shooting script features several deleted/extended scenes not found in the film. Most are "character moments" though some also clarify details of the plot. They include: A scene at Wayne Manor where the Congressman tells Foley that he's next in line for the role of Police Commissioner if he does well, giving Foley one more incentive of chasing Batman for the murder of Harvey Dent other than Batman being public enemy number one. A conversation between the two thugs that capture Commissioner Gordon where they debate killing him before taking him to Bane (giving a direct explanation on how Gordon learned Bane's name). A scene at Wayne Enterprises where Miranda warns Lucius Fox that Daggett is trying to take control of the company. A longer scene of Bruce Wayne and Lucius Fox at the Applied Sciences warehouse in which Fox wants to give Wayne the special leg brace which allows him to walk again. Bruce testing the leg brace in the Batcave, explaining to Alfred how it works to match the muscle patterns of his uninjured leg. A longer and slightly different scene outside the stock exchange and a lengthy chase scene between Bane, the police and Batman where they race around Gotham. The script has the stock exchange scenes all occurring in the evening instead of the late afternoon as the film had started at; An argument in the Batcave between Bruce and Alfred revealing that Bruce bought up all the land and homes surrounding Wayne Manor to prevent anyone from seeing him coming and going as Batman. An extended, much more heated confrontation between Bruce and Alfred. Alfred threatens to leave Wayne Manor if Bruce continues as Batman and Bruce argues that since Rachel Dawes's death, Batman is his only reason to live. Alfred confesses that he burned Rachel's letter and lied about her choosing to marry Bruce. Bruce accuses Alfred of betrayal before Alfred gives his speech about protecting Bruce's life, which does appear in the final film. A longer conversation between Bruce, Miranda & Fox discussing the reactor and Dr. Pavel. An extended conversation between Bruce & Blake in Blake's care where Blake jokingly gives Bruce cash for cab fare. A much extended scene of Bane storming Blackgate Prison. Bane burns a picture of Harvey Dent and explains that Dent became the villain Two-Face after his injuries and encourages the city's poor to attack the wealthy and powerful before he destroys Blackgate, releasing all the inmates. A brief scene of Selina escaping Blackgate. A series of extended or omitted scenes showing the mercenaries seeing the burning Bat-signal on Gotham Bridge. An extensive flashback sequence after Batman defeats Bane. Bane confesses that his devotion to Ra's Al Ghul stems from the League of Shadows rescuing him from the pit. A flashback scene then shows Ra's Al Ghul training Bane, who he has provided with a crude prototype mask to numb his pain. A scene of Talia openly taking charge of the League of Shadows to form a convoy to detonate the neutron bomb. She then floods the reactor core and, as in the film, Fox tries to escape, though even the finished scenes of Fox in the film occur earlier in the script version. A longer argument between Blake and the Army blockade on Gotham Bridge. Blake argues with the commanding officer, trying to convince him that Batman has returned and battle has broken out in the city streets. In the script, after Batman harnesses the bomb to The Bat, he's never seen again—The Bat simply flies out to sea and the bomb detonates. The scene of Fox and the technicians examining the autopilot of The Bat then follows, with Fox realizing that Batman had ejected before the bomb detonated, and that Bruce Wayne must have survived the explosion.

Gordon's speech regarding the truth about Harvey Dent is taken from him when he is delivered to Bane. Bane then uses it to justify mass-releasing all of the Blackgate prisoners. The chalk drawings that one of the orphans draw is later used as a sign to show the routes driven by the nuclear reactor trucks. The device Bruce Wayne uses to disable the paparazzi's cameras is used repeatedly later on by Batman (to turn out the lights in the tunnel during the chase scene, for instance).

To his credit Bane learns from this. Talia orders him to leave Batman alive until the bomb goes off... But Bane is smart enough to just wait until after she's gone then shoot him in the face. Talia al-Ghul taking her time to explain everything to her nemesis instead of, you know, quickly killing him and triggering the bomb is something that Bond villains would be proud of. For an extra bonus, her explanation explains her lust for Villain Gloating. Bane appears to recognize this, but Selina takes him out before he can act.

The Dark Knight Rises / int_26ac510e	type	Mythology Gag
The Dark Knight Rises / int_26ac510e	comment	Mythology Gag: When Blake meets Bruce, he mentions that when Gordon told the other police officers about Bane's hideout in the sewers, they mocked him, asking if he saw any giant alligators as well - a nod to Killer Croc. The movie starts with Bruce having a bad leg after his last encounter with the Joker, forcing him to use a cane and retire as Batman and the movie ends with Bruce finding a right candidate to be his successor. This is very similar to what happened to him in Batman Beyond. John Daggett is named after Roland Daggett, a recurring Corrupt Corporate Executive in Batman: The Animated Series and occasionally the comics. Roland Daggett was in turn inspired by Max Shreck, the similarly corrupt tycoon and villain enabler of Batman Returns. Daggett's plan to use Bruce's fingerprints to get him to forfeit his company is similar to his plan to steal Wayne's identity for the same goals in an episode of B:TAS. The "R" in the cheer sign at the football game Bane targets is the logo of Robin. The football team's name is the Gotham Rogues. Upon seeing Batman's return to action, an older cop in a cruiser excitedly tells his younger partner that they're "in for a hell of a show tonight", mirroring a scene from Batman: The Dark Knight Returns. Bane's comment on how Batman fights "like he was still a young man" mirrors a line Bruce thinks to himself in Batman: The Dark Knight Returns. Bruce Wayne looks up old newspaper clippings about Selina's escapades: they give her the nickname "The Cat", which was what Catwoman was known as in her earliest comic book appearances. In the same scene, Bruce sees Selina Kyle's mugshot. It looks a great deal like the famous "mugshot" cover◊ for an issue of Catwoman comics drawn by Adam Hughes. Bane breaks Batman over his knee, which is based on an iconic panel from Knightfall. Alfred's resigning to try and snap Bruce out of his self-destructive pattern is also borrowed from this storyline. When entering and leaving the stock exchange, Bane wears a red crash helmet - from behind, when he's walking through the metal detector, he looks exactly like Jason Todd as the Red Hood. Batman's remark when being at the receiving end of a Stealth Hi/Bye, "So that's what that feels like..." is taken from Kingdom Come. Gotham City being cut off from the rest of the United States is a nod to Batman: No Man's Land and to Batman: The Cult. Bane taking over leadership of the League of Shadows after Ra's apparent death and threatening to destroy Gotham with a nuclear device is taken from the graphic novel simply titled Bane. A B:TAS episode also had an enemy of Batman's planning to destroy Gotham with a nuclear bomb and prepared to be killed to prevent the detonation from being stopped, with a female criminal also helping to undo the plan. One track on the film's complete score soundtrack is given the title "Batman Returns." Similarly, Bruce and Selina dance at a Masquerade Ball, just like in Batman Returns. However, unlike that one, Selina does wear a costume (her Domino Mask and safecracking goggle "cat ears"). Dr. Jonathan Crane has straw sticking out of his suit during the Kangaroo Court scenes - the one subtle clue (at least in this movie) that he is the Scarecrow. The Pit bears a resemblance to the Lazarus Pit: used by Ra's al Ghul in the comics to extend his life by several centuries, it has the power to heal the sick and dying, but kill the healthy. The ordinary criminals, who would otherwise be able to live a normal life, will never leave their prison, while Bane, Batman and Talia emerge beyond all hope. In other words, they rise again. The resurrection metaphor can be extended to Ra's al Ghul himself: he exacts revenge on the warlord who imprisoned his wife and daughter, by revisiting the pit (diving into and re-emerging from it), and thereby his legacy lives on in the form of a daughter who is more than willing to do her father's work. At the end, Bruce and Selina are living together as a happy couple, like their Pre-Crisis Earth-Two counterparts in the comics. John Blake: He's a composite of the first three Robins. There are even minor parallels with Batman & Robin, Bane is just The Dragon for a female Big Bad. In addition, one scene in B&R has Bane planting bombs, exclaiming "BOOOOMB". each time one is planted. In this film, despite being far more intelligent and competent as a villain, Bane's plan revolves almost entirely around a "BOOOOMB". He's significantly more lethal and a lot more intelligent and competent in this incarnation. A subtle nod back to The Dark Knight, specifically Two-Face: right before the stock exchange heist is executed, we see two traders getting their shoes shined (by a mercenary), and arguing about whether or not to short-sell Wayne Enterprises stock. One says, "Wayne coming back is change. Change is either good or bad," on the basis of a coin toss. Two-Face's way of choosing whether or not to let a victim live was based on coin tosses. One nickname for New York City is "Gotham", which was coined by Washington Irving in his satire Salmagundi. Parts of this movie were filmed in Manhattan. Not to mention that in the trilogy as a whole, the paint scheme on the GCPD's police cruisers is based on the paint scheme of the NYPD from the 1990s, only with a much darker shade of blue. When Batman damages Bane's mask, Bane's fighting style and shattering the walls with his fists, mirrors his comic book counterpart's Berserker Mode which is a result of the Venom pump being damaged and contantly overflowing Bane's system. This in turn makes Bane into a mindless superstrong monster. The film's ending seems to reference a notorious scene in Batman: The Movie - Batman just can't get rid of a bomb! The scene where Batman and Catwoman are fighting a group of thugs, jumping from one to the next, and the thugs getting back up for another round, is very similar to the combat of the Batman: Arkham series, the second of which had both Batman and Catwoman playable. Hell, even the title of the film counts as one: it's a reference to "The Dark Knight Falls", the title of the final chapter of Batman: The Dark Knight Returns (one of the film's primary inspirations). Both of them end with Bruce Wayne faking his death and going into seclusion while a successor (an army of successors in Returns' case) prepares to carry on his work. The variations to Bane's character from his comic counterpart are all traits of Mr. Freeze: He's bald, he is weakened or even pained by the removal of his suit mask, and his motivation is to to appease a woman he cares about. The statue of Batman at the very end has a streamlined neck and shoulders, just like his previous incarnations and his future one. Selina's shy, Shrinking Violet demeanor when she's pretending to be a maid is just like how Selina was portrayed pre-Catwoman transformation in Batman Returns. Catwoman is told she's got a "nice outfit".

The Dark Knight Rises / int_392372f9	type	Actor Allusion
The Dark Knight Rises / int_392372f9	comment	Actor Allusion: Pittsburgh mayor Luke Ravenstahl's cameo as the football player who kicks off for Rapid City nods back to the fact that when he attended Washington & Jefferson College, he was starting place kicker on their football team. Hines Ward from the National Football League Pittsburgh Steelers, is the player who runs back the opening kickoff and the only player to survive after Bane implodes the field. When he's looking back at the carnage after scoring the touchdown (if it can be considered one, since scoring would have stopped the moment the first explosions happened), his own name is on his Gotham team jersey. When the boy is singing the National Anthem, the camera pans down the sideline to show us the starting lineup, including Steelers players. In addition to Ravenstahl and Ward, you will see "Big" Ben Roethlisberger, Brett "The Diesel" Keisel, Mike Wallace, Maurkice Pouncey, and Rashard Mendenhall. You don't see their names on the jersey, but if you've watched Steelers games, they're easy to identify because they wear their real player numbers (as is Ward). The instructions Alfred gives to Selina Kyle about delivering dinner to Bruce, including being told to drop off the tray and lock the door behind her, have been said to be similar to something Anne Hathaway's character in The Devil Wears Prada does. Commissioner Gordon calls for all of the GCPD to go into the sewers to root out Bane's army. This isn't the first time that Gary Oldman called for all the police in the city. Although in this case, he's a lot calmer about it and this time, he isn't psychotic. Tom Hardy had previously forced Burn Gorman to his death in a TV adaptation of Wuthering Heights, where they played Heathcliffe and Hindley respectively. The prisoner played by Tom Conti, who gives Bruce the story of Bane's (but actually Talia's) prison escape, is similar to the actor's character in Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence.

He rushes to Gordon's room, shotgun drawn, kicks down the door, and finds the two mercenaries lying dead on the floor. At this point, a hand puts a pistol to Blake's back:

Then she declares to the mercenaries that Bane wants Fox and Bruce isolated. Once they are up the stairs, Selina attacks and overpowers the mercenaries and undoes Fox's handcuffs.

Somewhat justified in that Bane specifically did not have a hostage and he assumes Batman is in league with them. Yet, at the same time, this would likely render them liable if doing so increased the chances of the hostages' lives being endangered. The novelization makes clear that Blake even knows this: "Blake just remained silent. Batman wasn't a danger to Gotham, no matter what people said. He was more worried about the felons who had just pulled off such an ambitious strike on the stock exchange."

The Dark Knight Rises / int_3ed23024	type	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
The Dark Knight Rises / int_3ed23024	comment	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Bruce's failing health due to leading a highly injury-prone life of superheroics for just less than two years, as The Dark Knight was around a year after Batman Begins and he initially retired as Batman shortly after it and was idle for eight years. Unlike the comic books where Bruce has been Batman for decades, the film acknowledges that rather like a heavyweight boxer (or any other athlete who endures abuse regularly like a football player), a flesh and blood human being couldn't fight crime for many decades without destroying themselves. Bane exploits this easily. Bruce's condition is not helped by the fact that he clearly hadn't been taking care of himself. It's never addressed as to whether or not he'd ever even tried to get surgery for his knee prior to the events that set the events of the story in motion. Selina's take on the "no guns" rule. See, no matter how badass you may be, Bane, no one's survived being shot at point-blank range. With bike cannons that are designed to blow up cars. Talia's death. Rather than a big dramatic death sequence, she dies from her injuries in a crash just like any other person whose vehicle had fallen about two stories while not wearing a seatbelt. Contrarily, Gordon is just fine although since he was at the back of the truck, and the front of the truck (with Talia in it) was what took most of the force of the crash, that may be why he survived. When Alfred points out the combat skill and strength of Bane to the just-came-out-of-an-eight-year-retirement Batman, Bruce says he will just fight harder. This earns him the worst beating of his life. Bruce points out that despite Selina's skill, "the ground is shrinking under her feet" and she's close to being caught. Which is what's likely to happen when you specialize in stealing from rich, powerful people. As in, the people who most likely have friends who are high-ranking cops with the authority to track her down. She is picked up by Blake within 24 hours of seeing Bane beat Bruce to a pulp. Quite averted when Talia stabs Bruce from behind and even pushes the knife deeper. Instead of bleeding to death, he's back in the plane and with no noticeable harm (not even wincing) after Catwoman saves him from Bane. The League of Shadows surviving the events of Batman Begins. This is, after all, a secret society that has endured since the time of the Roman Empire (or at least so they claimed in Begins). So, Bruce defeating Ra's al Ghul would not automatically destroy the League as he mistakenly and arrogantly believed. However, Bruce's actions did leave the organization severely crippled between the destruction of their Asian headquarters, the death of Ra's, and the massive expenditure of funds, resources, and manpower invested into the ultimately failed Gotham operation. The ensuing power vacuum also left the society vulnerable to takeover from extremist or exocommunicated parties like Bane and Talia. The downfall of the Gotham Mob in the interim since the previous film. As Dent pointed out to Mayor Garcia after the RICO indictment (and before everything went to hell), the GCPD had arrrested the mid-level Mobsters who couldn't make bail yet couldn't afford to remain off the streets for long. Dent predicted they would all cut plea deals, but they would serve at least some jail time (Dent estimated at least 18 months minimum). In addition, Joker directly or indirectly killed the post-Falcone leadership (Gambol, the Chechnen, and Maroni) and destroyed their cumulative finances (along with Lau). The Gotham Mob exited The Dark Knight all but fatally crippled and almost certainly would've collapsed even without the passage of the Dent Act. In his Harvey Dent Day speech, Mayor Garcia rightly points out that even with the passage of the Dent Act, it's impossible to fully eradicate all crime from a major metropolis like Gotham. The Act's success lies in erradicating organized crime.

The Dark Knight Rises / int_52c0c7cf	comment	Motive Decay: Zigzagged with the League of Shadows. The secret society's technically trying to complete the same plan Ra's al Ghul was pursuing back in Batman Begins, i.e. destroy Gotham City. However, Ra's was executing the League's ancient mission of restoring balance to a civilization that had reached the peak of corruption and decadence. Talia and Bane, by contrast, have completely abandoned those traditional goals and ideology. For them, destroying Gotham isn't about restoring balance at all, but instead honoring the memory of Ra's and punishing Bruce for his betrayal. Unlike Ra's, they're also willing to go so far as to kill themselves and the entire League just to triumph. The decay is justified in-story, as Bane and Talia's more extremist faction seized control of what's left of the League after Begins and are completely consumed with vengeance. Played straight with Bruce due to the ending of the previous film. The whole point of Batman was supposed to present a symbol to the people of Gotham to rouse them from their apathy and bring peace to the city. But Bruce had to sacrifice the symbol to ensure Harvey Dent's crimes as Two-Face did not tarnish his legacy. Becoming Batman again in this film is ostensibly to protect Gotham from the threat Bane poses, but Alfred calls bullshit. He fears Bruce's depression over Rachel's death and losing the Batman identity for nearly a decade have left him a Death Seeker. It ultimately gets reconstructed, though, as Bane's beating and his imprisonment in the Pit gets Bruce to snap out of his own apathy and finally, truly re-embrace his original mission statement.

The Dark Knight Rises / int_53224e46	type	Bookends
The Dark Knight Rises / int_53224e46	comment	Bookends: The beginning and ending of the movie features Gordon at a public ceremony commemorating a fallen hero. The first time is for Harvey Dent and, knowing the truth about Dent's Faceâ€“Heel Turn and sickened by the lie he has to tell, Gordon is clearly conflicted and tormented by what he has to do. At the end, he's at the ceremony unveiling the memorial statue of Batman in City Hall, and seeing the real hero finally be recognized by the city clearly brings Gordon some peace. Notice that Foley wears his ceremonial dress blues in both his first scene (at the Harvey Dent death day ceremony, when he's making small-talk with the Congressman) and his death scene (being shot dead by Talia's fleeing Tumbler). Batman Begins and The Dark Knight Rises both have storylines that revolve around the Al Ghul family (both pretending to be a side character as well) conspiring to destroy Gotham City and end up dying as a result of WayneTech technology. Batman must take up the call and in the process, learn something about himself. While in Begins, Bruce starts his career as Batman, in Rises he retires and allows Blake to become Gotham's protector. The film begins and ends with the violent destruction of an aircraft, in a way that makes everybody falsely believe that there are no survivors.

You are not given a trial, but a choice of sentence: death or exile. If you choose exile, you get pushed out onto a frozen river and must try to find your way across. It's a death sentence anyway, as you'll inevitably fall through the ice and die of either drowning or hypothermia. If you choose death, what you get is death by exile — only you won't get any warning from the guards about avoiding the areas of thinner ice.

He does call out Batman's real name while surrounded by his own soldiers during the first fight ("Let's not stand on ceremony here, Mr. Wayne"), but those have been established as being loyal unto death, so they can certainly be trusted not to spill it.

After Bane takes over the city, the trope becomes justified because Gordon is one of only a handful of police who aren't trapped above ground, and he's the most senior cop not trapped in the sewers.

Later, when Captain Jones and his team are ambushed and Jones is shot in the chest, Bane steps up to Jones, who says the same thing. Bane says "I'm on your schedule, captain," leans down, and crushes Jones's neck. Bruce spent years morbidly mourning over Rachel because Alfred let him live with the delusion that Rachel was his one true soul mate and that they would've lived happily ever after if it hadn't been for that damned Joker and, to a lesser extent, Harvey Dent. Giving Bruce the unwanted wake up call that Rachel wasn't the one for him did not go over well, to say the least. Good thing Selina was there at the end.

The Dark Knight Rises / int_7fbb2a3	comment	Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: When Batman suddenly reappears from hiding to stop Bane during the stock exchange heist, the police suddenly make catching Batman their priority, completely ignoring Bane and allowing him to escape. In particular, Officer Simon Jansen uses his pistol to shoot the EMP device Batman is using to try and stop Bane's bikes. If he hadn't, Batman would've probably stopped Bane, Bane's plan would've failed, and at the very least he would need a new one. Batman proceeds to give Jansen a dirty look, even though he weakly apologizes. Lucius Fox has been recollecting the Tumbler prototypes and various other tech to Wayne Industries' storeroom to keep them from falling into the wrong hands. Then again, storing them all in one room makes it very easy to lose them all in a flash, as happens when Bane and his men blow up the floor of Applied Sciences to "acquire" these resources. Gordon initally tried to read a speech revealing the truth about Harvey but decided against it and had tucked it away in his suit. When he's captured by Bane's men later that night, Bane finds it and hangs onto it, later reading it after he takes over Gothem to incite more panic among the citizens. Bruce leaving Ra's al Ghul to die at the end of Batman Begins. Bruce mistakenly and arrogantly assumed the League of Shadows died with his mentor. Instead, not only did the League survive and regroup, but the power vacuum brought Talia back into the fold and allowed her and Bane's extremist faction to seize control of the organization. Early on in the film, Mayor Garcia staunchly refuses to appeal the Dent Act. This leaves criminals, with denied parole by the Act, stewing in Blackgate and ripe for exploitation when Bane 'liberates' them and recruits them to his army.

The Dark Knight Rises / int_823c6e3e	comment	Large Ham: Bane, mainly when he gives his public speeches. An example is when Bane first introduces the football stadium hostages to the nuclear bomb and refers to it as "the instrument of your liberation". In the kind of voice you'd expect from one about to perform a striptease. John Daggett, especially when he tries talking down to Bane. Obviously, it doesn't end so well for his neck. Bruce Wayne/Batman himself gets delightfully hammy when he finally gains the advantage in his second battle with Bane. The best part is that it's suspiciously identical to his scene with the Joker in the last movie when he was interrogating him on where Harvey and Rachel were, so it could possibly be a Call-Back to that.

In real life, no American city would have this amount of authority over the criminal justice system — that belongs to the state governments. Selina Kyle just walking into a congressman's car, and later managing to kidnap him and keep him hidden for several days would most certainly not occur in real life. The Secret Service would easily keep Selina well away from Gilly until they knew who she was. Furthermore, kidnapping him would automatically put Selina under a federal charge, so Blake would have no authority to arrest her for kidnapping him until the federal case finished.

The Dark Knight Rises / int_863fa679	type	What Happened to the Mouse?
The Dark Knight Rises / int_863fa679	comment	What Happened to the Mouse? Despite the night of Harvey Dent's death 8 years earlier being a major plot point in Rises, the Joker is never mentioned. This was a decision on Christopher Nolan's part after the passing of Joker's actor Heath Ledger. However, the end of The Dark Knight has The Joker being arrested by SWAT teams. In the novelization of Rises, it is revealed that Joker was made the sole inmate of Arkham Asylum (since it is abandoned after the events of Batman Begins due to being in an area that was flooded with Crane's fear toxin). In-universe, Batman has become this to the GCPD and the rest of Gotham in the interim since ''The Dark Knight". The last confirmed sighting of the fugitive vigilante was the night of Harvey Dent's murder. He was last seen fleeing the scene of the crime and vanishing into the night on his motorcycle. That was 8 years ago and nobody has any idea what became of him (or whether he's even still alive). Blake lampshades the trope (and is rightly suspicious). Selina Kyle's friend, Jen, disappears in the third act and is never mentioned again. The Scarecrow's fate is never revealed, though presumably he escaped yet again in the aftermath of all the chaos. There is a shot where police have captured city hall after the big bomb is detonated, which implies that Crane may have been recaptured at last. Also, the fate of Hines Ward, the sole football player to survive the field implosion at the stadium. As soon as he's seen looking back, we cut to shots of the bridges into Manhattan being blown up, then Bane's men storm the grandstands with rifles and take the spectators hostage, and then we see Bane, Barsad, and a third mercenary march onto the remains of the playing field to address the crowd...but Ward is not seen. The novelization says he quickly fled, shitting his pants, while the stadium is off-camera.

When the film was released, many decried it as capitalist apologism in defense of the elite. Though it should be noted that Christopher Nolan has officially stated that no political message was intended. In addition, this film has been mocked as an example of both anti-capitalism and anti-anti-capitalism, with Jonathan Chait writing in New York magazine that "What passes for a right-wing movie these days is The Dark Knight Rises, which submits the rather modest premise that, irritating though the rich may be, actually killing them and taking all their stuff might be excessive."

The Dark Knight Rises / int_8d6d9535	comment	Artistic License â€“ Medicine: There are so many things wrong with Bruce Wayne's healing from his spinal injury, that it stretches belief. The human spine is a very complex and intricate part of the body; punching a vertebrae back into alignment will not magically fix it and allow a person to walk with no issues. In fact, doing so may cause further damage to the spine and the nervous system, and may actually cause paralysis. Hanging a person with a spinal injury like that, and letting gravity heal the damage risks tearing and damage to the spine, again causing paralysis. It is only for specific situations, not a herniated disc (which is what Batman suffers from). When the vertebrae is protruding from the spine to the point of poking through the skin, at that point it is very serious and requires spinal surgery. The kind of injury Batman sustained (dropped onto Bane's knee while being held from above) would not cause a vertebrae to protrude; it would actually cause either a torn disc or fracture. Said injury would take months to recover from, and would most likely require surgery. Climbing up a wall with a rope wrapped around the waist, then falling and letting the rope arrest the near 100-foot fall without some way to spread the load across the body would cause horrible damage to the spine and risks snapping it in two. It is definitely not something Batman can do so soon after a grievous spinal injury, or even more than once.

The Dark Knight Rises / int_8e20979	comment	Wham Episode: This movie has multiple scenes that the film as a whole is one. Early on, it seems John Daggett has hired Bane for his plan to drive Bruce bankrupt and take over Wayne Enterprises. But eventually Bane points out to Daggett that he doesn't need Daggett's patronage when he can just kill him and seize his resources—which he does (Bane needs Daggett's construction crews to rig building sites with explosive charges). Soon after, Batman confronts Bane and gets his ass kicked. Things go extremely downhill from there, with Gotham devolving into chaos and anarchy due to Batman being put in a prison far from Gotham. Without Batman, many people in Gotham follow Bane as a Dark Messiah, Bane holds the city hostage with a nuclear bomb which he secretly wants to detonate regardless, and almost all of Gotham's police are trapped underground. Even the military and the US government are powerless to stop Bane, due to the bomb threat. Then it is revealed that Miranda Tate, who was seemingly a nice and helpful Love Interest for Bruce, is actually Talia al Ghul, mastermind of the whole plot. And then it seems that Batman actually dies saving the entire city. This also means that letting Daggett take over Wayne Enterprises was never the plan; Bane always intended for Talia to be the boss. Daggett was Plan B at best. Finally, Bruce faked his own death, ran off with Selina, and seemingly passed the Batman legacy on to Blake.

That's because the mask he's wearing is pumping anesetics into his system, keeping the chronic pain he got from the past at bay. In the second fight, Bruce specifically targets the mask, now that he knows what it does. When it gets damaged and he feels the hits Batman is dealing, he goes down in short order. If Bruce had indeed targeted the mask in the first fight, it's likely he would've beaten Bane then and there. After the reveal that Miranda is Talia Al Ghul, you realize how Bane and his men easily kept cutting off any attempts for outside help and the GCPD to stop the bomb. She was thought of as a trusted ally to the heroes. So naturally she fed info to Bane.

The only place where they falter is in how they deal with Batman with both wanting to keep him alive to see the destruction of his city before giving him permission to die, feeling that plain death is too light of a punishment for him given that he doesn't fear death. Bane eventually learns from this and realizes that Batman is too dangerous to let live, even if just for a few more minutes and decides to simply shoot him. Selina intervenes, however. Exaggerated when you remember that they're both killing themselves by staying in the city where the bomb is, just to ensure that it will detonate as planned and destroy Bruce's spirit. All to avenge the man who excommunicated Bane.

Sure, it's a dramatic loss, but the GCPD ought to be much larger than just barely over 3,000. The New York City Police Department, for instance, holds 34,000 uniformed officers for the only 8 million inhabitants of the five boroughs, for an average of 6,800 cops per borough. Even if Bane only imprisoned the equivalent of a single borough of Gotham, that's still a small police force. Fridge Brilliance could explain it: If Gotham was in a period of "peacetime", and if the Dent Act was truly effective, a greatly shrunken police force may have been a result of that.

The Dark Knight Rises / int_9bcd82c0	comment	Took a Level in Badass: The Gotham Police. After two films of being an ineffective nuisance riddled with corruption, they really step up their game by the end of the film to the point that whether or not any of them are corrupt, they all rally in for the last battle with Bane's forces. Batman regains his former fighting skills by the end of the movie. Exemplified in a very specific shot in both fights with Bane: The first time, Batman is shown retreating from Bane, climbing up a set of steps onto a catwalk in the dark, dank underground, panting, injured, and shaking, and when he attacks he does so with a shout that is equal parts desperation and fear. The second time around, there's a shot from the exact same angle, with Batman retreating up the steps onto a stone platform in broad daylight, but when he turns to face Bane, he is rock steady, calm, and silent. Blake repeatedly takes these throughout the film but particularly so at end, when he's inherited the Batcave, with the implication that he's going to don the mantle of Batman. It helps that his legal first name is "Robin".

Bane hitching into an airborne plane is very similar to Batman's Hong Kong stunt in The Dark Knight and is shot in the same way. Jonathan Crane/Scarecrow being one of the prisoners released by Bane. He later runs the Kangaroo Court Gotham's rich and powerful are put in front of. Gordon's still broken bat-signal on the top of the Gotham police station. Which leads to an awesome moment later when Gordon is seen grinning next to the signal after it's been repaired. Upon his return to Gotham, Bruce grabs a backup Batsuit from the underground bunker he operated out of in The Dark Knight. The same scene features several items from the previous films in storage including the spiked gauntlets from his first suit. The secret door to the Batcave using 3 sets of notes played on the nearby piano. The scar on Miranda Tate's back is the same as the League of Shadows brand seen early on in Batman Begins. Talia stabbing Batman through his armor during The Reveal. Lucius warned Bruce in The Dark Knight the increased flexibility of the new suit also made it more vulnerable to knives and bullets. Also, Ra's told Bruce that when someone gets in your way, you walk behind them and stab them in the back. After stealing the necklace, Selina looks at a family photo of Bruce and his parents that shows damage from the fire in the first movie. When Selina and Batman are making their way through the sewers, Batman takes out a gunman from behind while hanging upside-down, similar to his first deployment of the Batsuit in the first movie. One from the comics: This isn't the first time that Bane breaks Batman's back.

Sometimes the timing's exact, sometimes the bomb takes 2 minutes to go down 30 seconds.

At the beginning, the cops are torn between chasing Bane, who'd attacked Gordon and had just shot up the Stock Exchange, and Batman, a fugitive who (they believed) killed Dent eight years earlier. Then Bane exonerates him. When he comes back, he's a hero. Instead of killing him, Bane throws Batman in a pit and puts the TV on so he can watch Bane oppress Gotham, giving him the rage and motivation he needs to get out of the pit. Bane also releases all of Blackgate's inmates, including Selina, who becomes vital to defeating Bane and saving the day Talia likewise makes this mistake, not taking into account Batman could have allies after she reveals her true nature and incapcitates Bruce. This leads to Bane getting killed when Selina comes in for the rescue and her own plan ultimately thwarted.

Foley's justification is that Batman is still a mass murderer who killed the city's true hero, while Bane and his henchmen are believed to be just glorified bank robbers. Indeed, Blake has a point about pursuing the robbers. It's likely a real police department would split units into two teams - one to chase the robbers and another to chase Batman. It's because of Foley's zealousness in part that Bane is able to escape and accomplish all of his further goals.

Given that when Bane is releasing the prisoners several scenes later, he tells the hoodlums of the city to help themselves to Gotham's spoils, it's rather ironic.

Played With in that The Pit is actually very easy to escape in the conventional sense; there are no guards, there are no locked cells, and prisoners are free to move about as they wish. There is also no physical barrier keeping them in as the roof is completely open to the outside world. The only thing keeping them in is a vertical climb of at least a hundred feet to get up to the opening at the top. A lot of prisoners have tried and failed to escape (often killing themselves in the process), but the extremely difficult climb IS possible, as Talia al Ghul and Bruce have proven. The safety rope is apparently there as a trick: it may save you from a fatal fall, but it also makes it impossible to make a jump during the climb, which is properly done free-climbing.

The Dark Knight Rises / int_beb932ca	type	Big Applesauce
The Dark Knight Rises / int_beb932ca	comment	Big Applesauce: In the first two films, Chicago stood in for Gotham City. In this film, New York City, Pittsburgh and Los Angeles stand in for Gotham: 23 Wall Street represents the exterior of the Stock Exchange, but the interior of the exchange and parts of the bike chase occur in Los Angeles. The vehicle crash barriers that get deployed are real and do exist. The area outside 23 Wall Street is also where Foley's death scene happens in the final battle. In a paradoxical way, the real New York Stock Exchange is right across the street from that building, and can be seen in several shots, such as when the police are arriving at the exchange. It's also visible in the background at the final battle. Batman observes the city from atop the Queensboro Bridge (the New York skyline does not appear to be altered in any form here). This bridge is left intact to allow for relief supplies to enter the city, but Bane's explosives destroy the Brooklyn, Williamsburg and Manhattan Bridges. Aerial shots of Gotham when the explosives go off are shots of Manhattan. The overview image of "Gotham Island" seen when the bridges are being blown is actually just an aerial view of Lower Manhattan with three bridges digitally added in on the Hudson River side. Wayne Enterprises was headquartered in the Chicago Board of Trade Building in Batman Begins, and the Richard Daley Center in The Dark Knight. In this film, New York City's Trump Tower represents their headquarters. In one of the scenes of the elite being removed from their houses, you can see that the people are being pulled out of apartments on Park Avenue around 84th Street on the Upper East Side. A number of times, what are clearly New York City Subway station entrances without any form of disguise are seen. For instance, entrances with signs that say Wall Street Station (2 and 3 trains) are visible during the start of the climatic battle between the police and Bane's men. And entrances to the Broad Street station (J and Z trains) are located outside the stock exchange during that attack. Gotham cabs (see the one Selina gets into on her way to the charity ball) have livery designs that reflect the appearance of New York's taxis prior to 2007. Likewise, in several scenes (Bruce's car being towed, and the elite being forcibly removed from their apartments), you can also see cabs with undisguised NYC Taxi logos (the variant used since September 2007). As can be seen in these two images, the GCPD's livery is actually the very livery that the NYPD fleet utilized in the 1990s. Similarities include the vehicle number being placed on the side of the unit just ahead of the taillights on both sides, a white stripe that runs along the side of the car originating from the headlights, the GCPD emblem is in between the words "GPD" and "Police". Those words are also reversed so that the word "Police" is painted on the rear passenger door on both sides of the car and "GPD" is on the front set of doors just below the rearview mirrors. The font used for the wording is even the same. On the other hand, Gotham's football players are obviously expies of the Pittsburgh Steelers, with many actual Steelers playing themselves on screen. The game takes place in what a Steelers fan would recognize as Pittsburgh's Heinz Field. Deputy Commissioner Foley's home is in the Pittsburgh suburb of Lawrenceville.

One example is when the US Special Forces sneak into the city to assess the situation there. Only someone within Wayne Enterprises namely Talia al Ghul has tipped off Bane to the team's meeting with Fox and Blake, so when the team leaves to call in their analysis, Bane's men ambush them and shoot all of them down. Bane then appears and crushes Captain Jones's neck, then orders the soldiers' bodies to be hung from the Brooklyn Bridge where the world can see.

The Dark Knight Rises / int_cf92fea8	comment	Cassandra Truth: The idea of an army of fanatical terrorists massing in the Gotham sewers and subways is a bit much to take in, yes, but you'd think after the events of eight years earlier, they would've taken it a bit more seriously. Granted, when they do, nearly all of the police force gets trapped underground. Not even Foley initially believes Gordon's claims about Bane and his men, so when he shows up to inform Gordon about Bane's abduction of the Wayne Enterprises board (which is in part what leads to the cops getting trapped in the tunnels), he says, "I'm sorry I didn't take you seriously." Plus, Foley doesn't believe that Bane exists in the scene where Gordon promotes Blake. This happens after the Stock Exchange robbery, where there are several hundred witnesses who see Bane in full color, mask and all. Also, when Alfred finally reveals to Bruce that he burned Rachel's letter, letting him know that she chose Harvey instead of him in order to spare him the pain. Bruce, at first, is outraged that Alfred would twist Rachel's memory to his own ends. It's not clear if Bruce actually believes Alfred or keeps assuming it's a trick. Earlier Alfred tries to warn Bruce Wayne that Bane is "the League of Shadows resurgent." Bruce dismisses Bane as just a mercenary and insists the League of Shadows has been defeated with the death of Ra's Al Ghul. Alfred points out that if Ra's Al Ghul is dead, "Who leads them now?" In the climax, when Blake tries to get the armed forces blocking the Orensboro Bridge to let a bus full of orphans pass, saying the bomb was going to be detonated no matter what, they not only don't listen to him, but they blow up the bridge when he doesn't go back as they instructed him. Blake wasn't particularly happy about that.

Besides their first fight, there's also Bane's entrance to the Stock Exchange while posing as a delivery man. He sets down a package, then he sets off the metal detector and a female security guard tells him to remove his helmet so that the cameras can see his face. Bane slowly takes off his helmet, and then he immediately smacks the female guard in the nose. Within two seconds, he's knocked out a second guard. A third guard tries to draw his pistol, but after a struggle in which a fourth guard is shot (it's hard to tell, though), Bane swings his helmet and knocks him out as well. All of this happens in under 10 seconds.

The general reaction seen by Foley and most of the pubic is that Bane and the team are just a group of rather ambitious and pretty skilled submachine-gun-toting bank robbers (assuming that there never had been a gang before in history that actually had tried to take the Stock Exchange floor hostage), not cold-blooded mercenaries attempting to destroy the city. Notice that after the heist, he doesn't make another public appearance until the football stadium bombing.

After the stock exchange robbery, Bane manages to escape from the police cars chasing him when they are suddenly distracted by Batman's appearance and Foley ordering them to switch their focus from the madman who just shot up the trading floor to the guy who supposedly killed Harvey Dent eight years ago. In context, one believes that the police force going underground to smoke Bane out may have been timed around the football game because they wanted the media to be focused on something other than the "training exercise" the police were carrying out.

The Dark Knight Rises / int_e4965307	comment	Composite Character: Despite being an original character for the movies, John Blake borrows elements from a number of comics' characters. Namely the first three Robins. His full name is Robin John Blake, he became a police officer as an adult and is an orphan like Dick Grayson (who also shares "John" as a middle name), his street smarts and being an orphan who had to fend for himself long before meeting Bruce mirror Jason Todd, and he deduces Bruce Wayne is Batman like Tim Drake. Finally, similar to Dick, he takes up the mantle as Gotham's protector after Bruce's "death". Furthermore, he takes some inspiration from Batman Beyond's Terry McGinnis, taking up the mantle from an older, limping, retired Bruce, never having been a Robin, and being fed up with some of the secrets in the Bat Family. Talia is a composite of the comic book Talia with a little of Bane's backstory of being born in and later escaping a Hellhole Prison thrown in. For that matter, Bane is a composite of himself and Ubu, Ra's al-Ghul's rotating Dragon from the comics. This—and his exile—are also from the comics.

The Dark Knight Rises / int_f16da697	comment	Undying Loyalty: Bane's underlings appear fanatically loyal to him. During the CIA skyjacking, Bane sees one mercenary attempting to attach a harness to himself: After killing the first of the two thugs who have delivered Gordon to him, Bane tells the second one, "Search him. Then I will kill you." The henchman obeys, placidly handing Bane a pistol Gordon was carrying, and is then shot dead by Bane after Gordon escapes. Later still, we learn that Bane himself has this quality with Talia al Ghul. Bane apparently tells Stryver that his henchmen who got caught after the stock exchange heist will die before talking. Later, when Captain Jones and his team are ambushed and Jones is shot in the chest, Bane steps up to Jones, who says the same thing. Bane says "I'm on your schedule, captain," leans down, and crushes Jones's neck. Bruce spent years morbidly mourning over Rachel because Alfred let him live with the delusion that Rachel was his one true soul mate and that they would've lived happily ever after if it hadn't been for that damned Joker and, to a lesser extent, Harvey Dent. Giving Bruce the unwanted wake up call that Rachel wasn't the one for him did not go over well, to say the least. Good thing Selina was there at the end.

His first combat action once he walks through the metal detectors is to use his motorcycle helmet to disarm three security guards.

The Dark Knight Rises / int_f511ea9b	comment	Product Placement: Delta Airlines, Bentley, Lamborghini, Saks Fifth Avenue, Greyhound, the "Heinz" signage on the facade of Heinz Field. The sign for UPMC that is seen on the scoreboard behind Bane is for the neighboring University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. In a rather awkward case, during most of Bane's speech, it's kind of distracting to have a Doritos sign on the scoreboard behind him. Oshkosh's logo is easy to spot on the front grille of one of the SWAT trucks responding to the Stock Exchange heist. When Blake is confronting the two construction workers at the cement plant, a freight train of auto carriers goes by. You can see that it has CSX locomotives on it. The police fleet is probably largely made of Ford vehicles. Real beer brands can be seen in neon signs in the background when Selina is meeting with Stryver at the bar. Dell computers are very prominent during the Stock Exchange heist - you can even see the logo very blatantly on the backs of many of the trading monitors on the exchange floor, while some viewers speculate that the computer tablet used to run the trading program is an XPS Duo 12. Gordon and some of the cops try using a Greyhound bus to stop one of the decoy trucks carrying the nuclear bomb by t-boning it. They aren't really subtle about showing us that the TV in Gordon's hospital room is a Samsung, even showing the logo where it is very visible.

The Dark Knight Rises / int_fd76df83	type	Artistic License â€“ Economics
The Dark Knight Rises / int_fd76df83	comment	Artistic License â€“ Economics: When Bane and his men attack the stock exchange, he fakes bogus trading in Bruce's name using the thumbprint Selina acquired from Bruce's safe. In reality, the NASDAQ and the NYSE have the ability to quickly cancel trades if necessary, and in fact trading should have been suspended entirely as soon as the attack was public knowledge. Bruce would have been easily able to get off the hook for those fraudulent trades, especially when he can show that the transactions were done during a robbery on the trading floor with multiple witnesses seeing Bane and the robbers using its computer system for something. This fact is acknowledged in the movie, with Fox mentioning that they would be able to prove fraud and get the money back soon enough, but in the short term Bruce is bankrupted, even though he shouldn't be liable at all under the circumstances (or could just refuse to honor them for entirely valid reasons). The Gotham electric company is utterly ruthless, cutting power to Bruce's home only a day or two afterward the stock incident. Bruce would have to be months behind on his payments for them to actually do that. They can't just assume he won't pay right off the bat. Bruce going bankrupt shouldn't have gotten him automatically thrown off the Wayne Enterprises board, especially since he has a pretty solid defense for the trades being bogus. He still presumably owns his stake in the company, and would need to sell it first. Despite what the characters repeatedly claim, Bruce Wayne is only broke; he is not bankrupt, except in a functional sense. To be bankrupt, Bruce would have to go to the bank and formally declare himself to be so, in writing. Merely not having money in your bank account is not the same as being bankrupt in a legal sense, especially since Bruce owns many valuable items and properties (including his mansion) that he could either rent, sell or put up as collateral for a loan if he needed cash quickly. This is yet another reason that he shouldn't have been kicked off the Board- even if there was a law or policy that said that nobody could sit on the Board if they were bankrupt (and in real life this is often not the case, by the way), it still would never apply to someone who hadn't declared themselves to be such yet.

The next morning, the first room Alfred checks in a search for Bruce before going to the Batcave is his bedroom—and we see that the bed is still made (i.e: not been slept in). When Gordon is trying to convince Foley to join the resistance, he says, "Look, Peter, I'm not asking you to parade down Grand in your dress blues, but something has to be done!" At the final battle, Foley is leading the charge—in his dress blues. Selina Kyle is seen climbing into the Congressman's car and asking him for a ride to seduce him. He is not seen for about twelve minutes of screen time. So when Selina goes to the bar where she meets Stryver, she mentions that every cop in the city is missing her date. We get a better look at the Congressman, now seen unshaven, haggard, wearing a bright Hawaiian shirt.... and clearly infatuated with her. Even getting shot in the leg during the resulting blast-out didn't stop his crush on her, for this comes up when Blake detains Selina at the airport: How does Blake get into the Batcave? Spelunking. You know, cave diving. Yes, the Bat does come in black.

The Dark Knight Rises / int_fe1d3a6b	type	Kill the Lights
The Dark Knight Rises / int_fe1d3a6b	comment	Kill the Lights: Batman whips out a new gadget in the form of the ability to turn off the lights. It works on some reporters' cameras, but utterly fails to give Bane pause, as Bane is adapted and perfectly able to fight in the dark, and his minions restore the lights shortly after.

The Dark Knight Rises / int_fe64d5a1	comment	Evil Is Petty: Bane does a lot to Bruce Wayne: he attacks the Stock Exchange to steal Bruce's money, breaks his back in a fight, takes him to the Hell on Earth, and forces him to watch Gotham tear itself apart under his quasi-anarchistic Reign of Terror before blowing it up with an improvised thermonuclear bomb solely to break his spirit. Extra points for locking himself and all the other League members in the city with the bomb just to ensure the plan works.

The Dark Knight Rises / int_ff5a74c8	comment	Talking Is a Free Action: Averted during the final battle, where the villain's gloating to Batman about how he will suffer before seeing Gotham destroyed gives Gordon just enough time to block the signal to the bomb. Batman makes sure to get a dig in about the irony.

The Dark Knight Rises / int_ff7f34c5	comment	Pet the Dog: Bane's backstory, especially his treatment of young Talia, makes him much more sympathetic, if only for a moment. Likewise, Talia fixing Bane's mask and farewell scene to each other can come off as sympathetic as well.

The Dark Knight Rises / int_ffad4e9f	comment	Shown Their Work: Anne Hathaway really researched the role of Catwoman. Discovering that the character was originally inspired by or based on Hedy Lamarr, Hathaway watched some of Lamarr's movies to inspire her interpretation of Selina Kyle (most noticeable in her first two interactions with Bruce Wayne).

The Dark Knight Rises / int_fff371b4	type	Death Seeker
The Dark Knight Rises / int_fff371b4	comment	Played straight with Bruce due to the ending of the previous film. The whole point of Batman was supposed to present a symbol to the people of Gotham to rouse them from their apathy and bring peace to the city. But Bruce had to sacrifice the symbol to ensure Harvey Dent's crimes as Two-Face did not tarnish his legacy. Becoming Batman again in this film is ostensibly to protect Gotham from the threat Bane poses, but Alfred calls bullshit. He fears Bruce's depression over Rachel's death and losing the Batman identity for nearly a decade have left him a Death Seeker. It ultimately gets reconstructed, though, as Bane's beating and his imprisonment in the Pit gets Bruce to snap out of his own apathy and finally, truly re-embrace his original mission statement.
