Re: The Dark Knight Rises

To Batman the end justifies the means.

To some extent, as long as it doesn't 'break his one rule'

That's what his conflict with the LoS ideology is all about - Ras and Bruce both want to cleanse Gotham, but Bruce cannot agree with going about it by destroying Gotham entirely and letting it reemerge as a clean city

The prison seems to be taken from Vengeance of Bane, with the giant hole at least.

Although it's not the easiest thing on the eyes to read (and also awkward, because it's written by "The Hulk") I find this analysis of today's cult of Batman fascinating:

All ready broken his one rule, when he pushed Harvey over the edge. The only bit of truth Joker spoke in TDK was stating that Batman would break this rule that night, and he was right.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

Yeah but his rule still stands, he's not going to become a killer overnight because he inadvertently killed Harvey while saving gordons son

Since I haven't seen this mentioned there's a fair amount of speculation cropping up about the "R" in this image...

More of an easter egg then anything. I would assume.

Now you got me wondering.

Did Nolan include the scene of Batman being able to save Rachel from a high rise fall without a scratch yet Dent died with his fall with Batman.

Did Batman let Dent die.

Or did Batman have just enough prep time to be able to save Rachel, but no prep time with Dent so oops.

Dent's fall was from a much shorter distance.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

The rule is more about choosing to kill someone as a means of justice, he is no executioner, but Ra's and Two-Face die by Batman's doing, but you could argue it as an outcome of their own choices. Batman didn't set out to kill Two-Face, he was rescuing Gordon's son and it happened to lead to Two-Face dying.

Man, that is the most painful thing to read I've ever come across, been through about 1/3, time for a break

Hulk doesn't make things easy for you

Oops, I meant TF, I kept referring to him as Dent

I'm such a horrible geek.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

Batman was injured from Harvey's gunshot I think, so he was too weak to save Him. He had just enough juice to push him off the ledge.

No, he certainly doesn't. I haven't seen that much ALL CAPS in one place online since about 1995.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

Yeah, plus we're supposed to believe that Batman's half-open cape helped slow their fall, and the taxi, plus his armor, absorbed most of the remaining impact, protecting Rachel.

Harvey fell on his neck. Maybe Batman could've prevented that if they fell to the ground at the same time, but he was too busy hanging on to the ledge and Gordon's son.
