I wonder if the role of judge (cillian murphy)was actually written with the Joker in mind. "Death by exile"

^This.

Again, its things like this that make me cringe when fans say Nolan's Batman films are based on realism. I think Nolan wants to give it an authentic feel to bring the audience into this world, and the lack of a Lazarus out to bring Ra's from the dead makes it less of a comic feel too I suppose. But its clearly more of a film based on a comic book character than a comic book movie to me. If that makes any sense.

I still like it though.

The explanation wasn't clear at all. I'd go with the deformity angle, I mean he was beaten, then a drug addicted doctor worked on his face with what I'd assume were shitty tools found in an underground prison. He said something like, "No one cared who I was until I put on the mask", which makes me think he was extremely deformed, and when he put on the mask it gave him back his confidence and he became an intimidating Austrian bad ass. Does that sound right? By the way, I keep joking about his awesome lines in the film, and I can't mimic that accent.

Actually, Nolan had originally planned on doing a sequel with the Joker at the center again. He was working on the details when Ledger died and had to go in a completely different direction. I guess Bane and his army made the most sense to him.





I like to believe that the Lazarus Pit still exists somewhere and Ra's is once again biding his time in the shadows even though that doesn't really make sense. Too much to explain if they actually brought the character back I guess. Although the Lazarus Pit would have been a better explanation for healing Bruce's back than time and a punch. If they could have just left out the line about his vertebrae protruding from his back it would have been easy to accept that all Bruce needed was a few months rest and rehab.

I enjoyed the movie too. People assume, that just because people critique flaws that it implies we didn't like the movie. If you want to hear that the movie was flawless its just not gonna happen. There were plenty of flaws in the avengers but I watched it 3 times.

If something really sticks out in a movie that bothers me I want to discuss it. I also discussed things i enjoyed about the movie in my earlier posts but no one seems to want to quote me on that and discuss in detail.

So far the majority of responses to people pointing out flaws have been fanboy responses defending Batman and Nolan religiously rather than assess its film merit qualitatively.

Tiberius and I just the movie. Loved it. Just sayin'

Also, the whole Bane's mask thing;

Apparently he was always in so much pain, that the mask is used as an inhaler of some pain killer stuff. Makes him feel numb I guess. At least that's what DC wiki says... makes more sense in their words:

SPOILERS:

The inmates severely beat Bane and left him near death. The prison doctor saved his life, but as a result of his beating Bane was left in a state of constant agony. Bane was later freed from the prison by Ra's al Ghul and became a member of the League of Shadows along with Talia. He began using a mask that supplied him with analgesic gas to dull the pain.

As for Bane and his mask, League of Shadows I am just going to post the whole article:



What I would like to see is a 1shot comic of the exact Origins of Bane.
