Plane hijack question

With the plane hijack one thing I don't get is why does bane use an iv of sorts on the doctor and transfuses blood to a dead person??

What effect does this have and why does he do it.

I don't like blood also ha so when I saw that I felt sick.

Just been wondering why he does it.

Batman and Tahlia escaping the pit

Sorry if this has been asked but couldn’t find anything online… and it’s really bothering me.

Rewatched the trilogy recently and thought I noticed that the doctor that was there when Bane was “created” in the pit after helping Tahlia escape was there when Batman goes in.

Wondering how it never came up that the child who escaped from the pit was female and not male the entire time he was down there? Not sure if I’m missing any links, but surely Batman would have put 2 and 2 together and realised Bane wasn’t the one who escaped and that may have pointed him to Miranda…

Bane theories+head canons (Rant)

Just watched TDKR for the 50th+ time and started thinking to myself what are the possibilities as how Bane actually got into the pit to begin with (ofc its not confirmed or stated but im interested in the theories). Was he sent there as a man? As a child? Born there like Tahlia which is why he wanted to protect her? And it would add up to his "I was born in the dark" speech although its overall likely metaphorical, It just got me wondering on all the kind of theories, kinda like a shower thought minus the shower lol

Honourable mention: I also thought about his story in the pit, as he seemed to reflect that of a natural fighter (which is why it took a mob to handle/injure him) and I always theorised that Ra exiled him because he was battering the other members from LoS in training in which Ra could see the brutal nature of the pit through him/ how it shaped bane and his realisation that his wife had to be locked up with a beast(s) like him. Also the idea that Talia was (also) being metaphorical in her story of banes exile. Would even go as far to say if he was in the pit as a child he couldve been a child slave/currency(primarily for labour but you could take it to a much darker place, If you catch my drift) where he only fought back once he got bigger/older.

Apologies for the random rant, I've been watching Penguin aswell and after rewatching TDKR im craving for a bane series surrounding that context, won't happen but a man can dream aha

What is the one thing you’d like to see from the Nolan series?

If I could only pick one thing, I’d like to see his collection from his villains. In the comics he keeps things from them in a sort of museum like state in the batcave. I just noticed in the beginning of the dark knight, he removes and keeps the scarecrow’s mask. I feel like somewhere he’s got souvenirs of his adventures

Batman Day TDK ReRelease

I remember last year at Regal theaters across America, on September 16th (which is batman day) The Dark Knight Trilogy played, starting at 8am with Batman Begins until 8pm with The Dark Knight Rises. (those times might be a little bit off, i thought it was 8am to 8pm but i could be wrong). Unfortunately, I was sick that day, so I could not go to the reshowing of The Dark Knight. (which was around noon). I can't find anything about it online for this year, so will they not be doing it again? I haven't seen TDK in theaters since 2008 when it came out. I'd like to take my son to see it (it'll be his first time).

How did the CIA at the opening scene *not* know they captured Bane on a plane in The Dark Knight Rises?

Just rewatched this recently and basically the title. Littlefinger even asks who Bane is and why he wears the mask to the henchman he is holding out of a plane.

Didn’t they just capture him? It isn’t like he walked up to them with a hood on and already in handcuffs…

Don’t get me wrong it is an amazing opening scene but it kind’ve made me scratch my head wondering wtf happened right before that.

Is Benny Safdie the dead kid at the tunnel?

His name is "Jimmy from St. Swithin's"

I looked up the IMDb cast and googled it and could not find the name of the actor playing this character at all. Seems like kind of an important character!

I have a pic of it but I can't post it in this group unfortunately...

Questions about the movie

Some things just don’t add up. Here’s a list

Why are they driving the bomb around town? For why? And why are there decoy trucks. What’s the point? Bane said he’d give the trigger To an ordinary citizen ok sure but it was never meant to be a game of hide and seek. Like the bomb woulda gone off no problem if they weren’t driving it around for no reason, no one woulda found it.

Why are the cops just running towards machine gun fire! It’s not logical or realistic. Like IRL every single one of them would be mowed down there was like ten machine guns against them. That will incapacitate or kill all of them within 20 seconds.

Also, why did Bruce go back to his underground lair that was in dark knight? He was in his mansion bat cave at the beginning of the movie and no reason not to go back. Sure unless It was guarded but they have to tell the viewer this.

Why do bane and Talia want to die in the explosion? Don’t say they don’t coz Talia triggered the bomb It just didn’t go off

Lesser plot hole but no chance anyone can ride a motorcycle with heels. The stiletto would get stuck in the pedals and it’s dangerous. I ride .

Does the clean slate actually exist?

I like Bane's accent

I have no idea how people can see it as annoying. For me it is weird and very uncanny, I have never heard of someone talk that way. It makes me scared of him more than how his appearance does.

I've been working on a DIY Batmobile™ kit that will teach kids STEM for over a year now

Hi everyone,
My name is Albert, and I’m a 22-year-old tech-lover creating fun and educational electronic devices 😄
I wanted to share my latest project with the rest of the group - it’s named CircuitMess Batmobile™️ 🦇🚗
CircuitMess is a small business that I’m trying to build based on the idea of bringing excitement and joy via fun electronic kits to people all around the world. 🌎
CircuitMess Batmobile™️ is an AI-powered DIY Batmobile kit made in cooperation with Warner Bros.

I’ve been negotiating with WB and working on this product for the past year and a half. Being a huge Batman fan myself, getting to work with the people behind Batman as a brand was a dream come true! ✨

I’ve designed this kit to teach everyone about cutting-edge technologies, such as machine learning, computer vision, AI, IoT, and much more, while feeling like the Caped Crusader. 🦇

Everything I do is also open source, Arduino compatible, and hackable. 💻
I would appreciate your honest feedback on the product! 😄

You can send me an inbox, drop a comment here or directly on my Kickstarter listing for Batmobile: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/albertgajsak/circuitmess-batmobile?ref=535kx4

You can also join my discord channel for updates and discussions: https://discord.gg/UZkp89eN4y
Thank you for your time 👋

Detail about Bane's back story... It was retold that he got disfigured and the doctor had to save him in the prison which makes it pretty obvious that he couldn't have been the child that escaped the prison. It became so obvious after my 10th viewing.

Blu-ray

So I just got the blu-ray for the dark knight rises and it comes with 2 movie discs inside. Should I watch the one that just says the title and ‘movie’? Or should I watch the ‘widescreen’ disc?

The dark knight trilogy, rise, fall and rise again

Hi guys

Just posting about the trilogy.

I have been thinking about rises for awhile and I was so annoyed that Batman took an "hiatus" for like 7 years and then just becomes batman again.

My justification for why Nolan would have done this is he did not want anyone going back and making a film about batman in between these years.

Same with him ending it with batman giving up the mantel.

Its contained. Its solid. Its great and I am so happy WB never got a chance to fuck that up.

New detail I picked up in The Dark Knight

I just realised that while Joker was in pretty much most the film, Harvey’s transformation into Two Face didn’t happen right until like halfway through. This is a symbol of Harvey being good in one half and bad in the other. Brilliant detail by Christopher Nolan because this took a while of rewatching for me to realise this.

Shouldn't Gordan have been kind of arrested and jailed at the end of the movie?

Like he conspired with a vigilante (batman) to lie about multiple homicides in order to convict criminals under a false act. Like, surely that's some pretty serious jail time?
