Re: The Dark Knight Rises
Batman and Rachel really die when they fall from the Penthouse. The rest of the film focuses on is "what if they somehow landed safely".
Seriously though, it felt like it was just a way to get Batman away from the Joker. Batman could have subdued the Joker right then and there but of course the Joker had to threaten Rachel. It makes sense I guess to distract Batman, but the guy he's dealing with has a grappling hook, a glider and a freaking armored suit. He's trained for this crap.
Still doesn't make sense why Batman wouldn't continue to pursue the Joker after they landed. I mean, he's right there on the street isn't that where the Joker will be headed? It would have been a "Batman moment" where the Joker and his goons are making their way down to the street and Batman shows up and takes their asses to jail. But nope, I guess Batman just gave up? What about the Joker? He just gave up looking for Harvey Dent too (though Joker does suspect that Dent may be Batman)? How would Bruce have felt if he threatened the guests or hell, killed Alfred?
