Excuse me if this has already been discussed, but I have a question. So when Selina hands Bruce's prints over to Stryver, we clearly see him open up the small envelope, inspect the prints, and slide them back in. Now when it comes to the thumb print, he see him undo the clasp, then the camera cuts away, only to see him seal it once more. This is extremely far-fetched, but I can imagine a Joker card being in that appropriately sized envelope.

He doesn't know Wayne is Batman.

Show me where you got that info and I may consider it. Nothing in the movie indicates that. In fact, he directly foils any attempts made to reveal the true identity of Batman. He clearly doesn't want to know, because it would ruin his fun.

One of my favorite moments was a direct nod to Miller's book. In both the book and the movie , upon Batman 's sudden reemergence after a long absence Batman joins police pursuit of criminals. Veteran cop gears down pursuit upon seeing a long remember shape from the past. "Relax kid," the voice of experience counsels the rookie, "You're in for a show.". In the book the rookie tries to arrest Batman and the veteran apologizes for him. In the movie the rookie discharges his firearm, ricochetting a slug off the Batsuit and apologizes for himself.
I loved that scene and its nod to the series that made a joke relevant again back in the eighties.
To those who ask, Bane discovered Batman's identity from Ras A Ghul's (SP) daughter Talia. Bane probably would have pieced it together from Gordon's unread retirement speech papers and the timing of Wayne's seclusion juxtaposed with Batman's disappearance anyway.
Knee cartilage CAN be regrown. Basketball players do it all the time. Rocketeer25 has no excuse for not knowing about microfracture knee surgery because local athletes Steve ( The Captain) Yzerman and Andrew (Nice) McDyess had it done. I think Bruce had that done in a cut scene....
Atomic bombs cannot be accidentally triggered. They require the activation of s high tech micro timer called a Kryton Trigger. Rocketeer25 should know this because it was all laid out in the Roman Polanski film _ Han Solo gets his ass kicked in France_, also known as _Frantic_.
Batman bailed out of the Bat two miles downwind of Gotham. He then swam ashore and entered a Subway restaurant where he had street clothes stashed. He then hid in a 1950s era Lead lined Nevada Desert refrigerator while the Bat continued onward achieving minimum safe detonation distance with one second to spare.
Sheesh, Lonnie, I thought all of these things were self evident.

Oh yeah. Nolan was referencing the recent Chiean Miner crisis with the buried cops storyline. I am pretty sure they fed them the same way, lowering supplies on ropes.
3,000? Sure didn't look like 3,000 on screen! If that was how fearful the Bane menace was, would they not send in the national guard rather than tie up their police force? Where did they say it was 3,000?

This is almost accurate. I've seen the movie about a million times. The rookie in the movie version shoots the EMP gun when he fires at Batman. That's why it is never used from that point on. You can clearly see Bats look at a hole in the gun after the shot is fired.
The rookie fired his pistol, and the bullet hit the EMP gun.
And there was a shot of supplies being lowered to the trapped police.
The tunnel blocked by stacked cars---huh? They were trapped by cave-ins caused by explosives, but Bane & co. had to do some of the sealing manually? Also, the barricade didn't go all the way to the top of the tunnel. Cops can't climb?

Ahhh... I see! Now I understand what Mr. Seen it a million times was trying to tell me. I've only seen it once but am trying to get back there before the inevitable Blu Ray purchase.
If there were really as many cops as somebody suggested were buried they should have lowere picks and let them dig themselves out! :lol

That's why I said: ( Oh yeah. Nolan was referencing the recent Chiean Miner crisis with the buried cops storyline. I am pretty sure they fed them the same way, lowering supplies on ropes. )
Those were on the tunnels into and out of Gotham, right? I took it that they were there to block vehicular traffic.

The tunnel with the stacked cars that Selina blew up was leading out of Gotham.
The tunnel that Batman blew up was sealed with large boulders.
As far as I remember.

Just got back from seeing it. Loved every minute of it.
Batman "cornered" by the police = Awesome and hilarious.
Selina in the bar shootout = Damn, she's good.
I loved the nod to the DKR comic that Outlander mentioned above, with the old cop/young cop. I wished they had kept it going.. "Knock it off, kid, he's being patient with you as it is."
Also wondering why no one seemed to wonder why Bruce died at the same time as Batman. Sure, Blake and Gordon knew, but no one else did. I'm kind of surprised that Gordon never figured it out in all that time. But, like he said at the end, it didn't matter to him who Batman was other than just Batman. Watching the first teaser trailer with Gordon in the hospital talking about "We were in this together", I assumed that he was just talking to Bruce, I didn't realize that Bruce had a mask on in that scene.
I'm sorry that some of the little tidbits I'd read early on ended up being big spoilers.. I knew from the start that Marion Cotillard was playing Talia Al'Goul, I kept wondering when it was going to come up in the film, and it ended up being this "huge" plot twist at the end (although I totally didn't see it coming that she was the child that escaped The Pit.. I was thinking that Bane was her brother or something).
One thing I didn't like was the way Bane got pushed off in the second half of the film.. starts off as a huge threat in his own right, then becomes "just finishing someone else's work" instead of his own, and then finally relegated to "thug" at the end, working for Talia the whole time.
In regards to the bomb that Blake thew at the pile of boulders, it seemed almost a throwaway joke in the film, but I just realized that the smaller explosion would serve as a warning to the guys on the other side to get the hell down before the big momma comes down.
All in all though, I really liked it. Hell of a way to wrap up the series.
