Here I simply try to answer few questions about TDKR which are asked in this website, in the way I have perceived the movie. I've watched it twice and with English sub titles for the second time! I wanted to watch the movie for much more times but after watching it with subtitles, almost all the missing parts in my mind have been very well cemented!
Q : Why did Gordon
still have his speech about Harvey Dent in his jacket?
A : After finishing
the speech, Gordon went directly to that roof to call batman if he could come
and then Blake came and informed him about the missing congressman! Then
onwards, as per the sincerity of Gordon, he involved himself in the search of
that congressman and in doing so he almost forgot to even change his cloths !
This may sound over exaggerated but so is the rubbish question !
Q : Why did ALL of
Gotham’s cops go underground to investigate Bane’s plot?
A : Gordon was
hospitalized and the deputy commissioner Folley instructed the cops to go in
all without looking into longer future. Blake did all the investigations as a
detective and found about the explosives in the tunnels and called Foley to
take out his men but it was too late! Some 3000 cops were locked into the
tunnel because of hasty decision of Foley and not of Gordon! If Gordon would
have been at that spot and not at the hospital, he wouldn't have made this
mistake! And even though we saw few of the cops managing the crisis along with
Blake and Foley!
Q : How did Batman
have time to escape the nuclear blast when we saw him in the Bat’s cockpit with
5 seconds to go on the clock?
A : Batman fixed the
issue of autopilot and he used that option as soon as he decided the exact
direction and altitude of the BAT and
then he switched on the autopilot mode
and jumped off! If Nolan would have shown these scenes just for the sake of our
convenience which he is far more capable enough of doing, then the entire
discussion wouldn't have started! He likes to play with the mind of his fans!
TDKR is not at all for those who like spoon feeding and this is just my
imagination of what would have happened but if Nolan has left this upon us to
think, why not to think in a positive way?
Q : How did both
Batman and Bruce Wayne go missing for so long with nobody connecting them?
A : This question is
well answered in the link itself and I also agree with what they have pulled
out of this situation so I would like to go with their explanation !
Q : How did Bruce
Wayne get from the prison back to Gotham?
A : Well, we all
know it's far too easy for a man like Bruce Wayne to reach up to the borders of
Gotham! The real question is how he managed to enter the Gotham city?
Well, we very well
know that the entire map of Gotham city is well memorized by Batman and since
he almost instantly moved anywhere in the Gotham for emergency situations in the past, it's not difficult for him to go the place he wants to go! When he returned, he met Kyle
and offered her that Clean slate and also offered her a way out! I figured it out
from the subtitles that he used the words like "I will show you the way
out" to Kyle! It's his city and he loved his city more than anything! Oh
come on, Batman knows hundreds of thousands of ways of entry and exit of Gotham!
Silly of those who ask questions like this!
Q : How does John
Blake know Bruce Wayne is Batman?
A : When Blake went
to meet Bruce Wayne, he told Wayne that he grew up in that orphanage watching
Wayne hanging around with girls, roaming around in Lamborghini and doing all
those useless and baseless things which an orphan can not do out of the loss of
his/her parents! He discovered this fact because he himself was an orphan and
he knew what the loss is of being an
orphan! So what Wayne was doing as an orphan was just an alibi for covering up his real task which was figured out by Blake! Rest is he just put the missing pieces in place and discovered the
connection between Wayne and Batman! At the time of telling this fact to Wayne,
Blake noticed the silence of Bruce and that consolidated his belief!
Q : What happened to
The Joker?
A : As Heath ledger
died, The entire world knows that no one else can substitute him for the role
of Joker! So for me, Joker was in Arkham jail for few years, let's say 3 or 4
and then he died of natural death! If anything would have happened, why not this?
If Nolan is unable to bring Heath Ledger back and for the real tribute to this
legendary actor, he chose not to even touch the role which was meant to play by
him and only him! I haven't read the DC comics of Batman and I don't know what
happens to Joker there! But, Nolan managed to retain the integrity of Joker's
character by not touching it!
Q : What does Bane’s
mask actually do?
A : This question is
well answered in the link itself and I also agree with what they have pulled
out of this situation so I would like to go with their explanation !
***
And after all, for
the entire length of the movie, which
scene did you find being misfit with the story? If each and every scene
is just perfect even after editing such long conclusion, Nolan avoided showing
how Batman manages to come back to Gotham city or how he jumped off the Bat or
how Bane removed or medicated his mask! Instead, what is shown is much more
subtle and worthy of our appreciation.
It's Nolan's genius
which is constantly present throughout the movie! Viewing it second time, I
realized how many hints he left throughout the movie for one to find out who
Miranda Tate actually is! But how intelligently he used every scene to make it
the most difficult for everyone to figure it out!
I also felt that, If
Batman would have died in the end, the movie would have more lived to its
standards but oh my my! The promos used this words, "The Legend ends"
and not the Legacy ! And Nolan did exactly what he promised! He ended the legend
by killing the Batman but not the one who was underneath! By keeping Bruce
Wayne alive, he added more power to his genius!
I feel like writing
much more about how I perceive his movies and how effectively he concluded this
saga but everything I can conclude writhing only this…. Nolan Is God !!
