The Dark Knight Rises *SPOILERS*

[Jen]

They hung him by a rope and socked the disc back into place. Realistically, it would've been months before the spine and nerves healed if at all, not 10-20 days. And that's not even dealing with the months of rehab needed afterward.

I'm not sure if this was addressed - didn't read all the pages - but Bruce was in the pit for many months not 10-20 days. If I remember correctly when they removed the bomb the battery would keep it stable for 5 months and Bruce was already in the pit at that time.

While you may have a valid point, Batman Begins never really does tell exactly how long between Bruce being back and the first sighting of the batman. Could have been a week or six months.

I would say it took several months. There was a lot of planning between Bruce and Alfred to accessorize and customize his batsuit.

Several months easy (BB)

And in Rises yeah he's down there about 5 months

 

[Khev]

And given Bane directly ignored Thalia's order, his spirit wasn't broken.

He ignored her order after she saved him and he regained his focus. He certainly had been defeated prior to her stepping in.

If he's down there for 5 months what the hell did all those hundreds (thousands?) of cops eat all that time locked in the sewers?

 

[intothevoid]

Food and supplies were provided to them by Bane's men

Did you even watch the film

 

[thenammagazine]

Food and supplies were provided to then by Bane's men

Did you even watch the film

I didn't see it 900 times like you.

 

[intothevoid]

Except that much was clear on the first viewing

I've only seen the movie 3 times and I remember that bit.

 

[intothevoid]

Yeah it was part of the 'feeding them hope to poison their souls' bit of Banes plan

He did it with Bruce
He did it with the Cops
He did it with the people of Gotham

 

[thenammagazine]

Except that much was clear on the first viewing

Guess I was still going over the fat plot holes when that scene hit.

I'm sorry for your loss

 

[thenammagazine]

I'm sorry for your loss

Let me reiterate that if JGL is Batman in the reboot, Nolan will be redeemed for finally giving us the Batman we need and deserve.

Unfortunately. It led to spondylolysis.

Sorry to hear that. It sounds like a rare condition too. Me, I had a herniated disc, also in the lumbar section of my spine. I had surgery for it back in 2007 but I sort of regret it. I put my back out more often now.

 

[intothevoid]

We shall see

But I'm glad I already got the Batman I needed

 

[Jen]

Me too. I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for Keaton as Batman as I will with these movies no matter how many reincarnations there are in the future.

Keaton was an awesome Batman but a lousy Bruce Wayne.

 

[Jen]

Keaton was an awesome Batman but a lousy Bruce Wayne.

Yes...but Keaton/Burton are the ones that really introduced me to Batman...and I was on a Batman high for a long time afterwards. I loved that first movie....I still even have a Batman wall clock that I bought after the movie came out. It's hanging in my collection room.

Yeah, I try and be proactive with my fitness to help hold off any exacerbations or flair ups but the pain is pretty constant. I've learned to live with it though. Surgery is probably unavoidable as I get older but I'll hold out as long as possible.

The herniated and slipped discs I had hurt much worse than the three fractures. I got epidurals and steroid packs for those though. What surgery did they perform?

 

[intothevoid]

I'm sorry for your loss.

The only loss is no more Nolan/Bale Batman
