So I was re-watching TDKR at a friend's house(and you all know how! Lol), and I think there is some confusion now to some who believe Bruce Wayne losing his money was the top story in that newspaper Fox handed Bruce, but it's not...it was on page 3. It was NOT the big headline for the newspaper, just as how Batman was the main headline for the newspaper at the end of Batman Begins, bumping Wayne destroying the manor to page 8.

Lol, another poor attempt at trying to make your point the right one. Needless to say, the Gotham Times DID have Batman the main headline and not every single paper having their main headline about Wayne losing his money.

My point is the right one. Did the flick show a close up of that headline? Nope. Can't even see a headline. Did the flick show ya a close up of the Bruce Wayne going broke headline? Yup. Zoomed in on it on the table in Wayne Manor.
Am I right? Yup. |

Did Fox say 'Page 3'? Yes. Could someone with a brain realize that Batman was the main headline? Yes. Did I show you solid proof of the main page being about Batman? Yes. Did it show a different newspaper showing Wayne as the headline? Yes. Does that mean not all the papers had their big headline about Wayne? Yes.
Am I right? I am not right to those that have to be shown everything on film and when something isn't shown, then it's easy to flack on. |

Nolan talks about how he loves films like Blade Runner that "create a reality beyond the frame" and he tries to do that with his films. The newspaper thing is a perfect example. There are so many little set design things that didn't even make the film (or at least I don't think they did). The Bane propaganda stuff, the Blackgate dedication to Dent, The Wayne Enterprises sign on Trump Tower etc. The reality of the film is much larger than what actually lands on screen, and I think that's very much a part of Nolan's overall M.O.

Thus, Wayne wasn't the top story

![]() It's during the scene Blake helps escorting Wayne away from the paparazzi and when we see the front page of the Gotham Post, the picture looks exactly the same of Bruce walking out of Wayne Tower earlier that day. Quote:

He fills the world the characters inhabit with a great sense of detail , without spending time with irrelevant gothamites. Its called good filmmaking. The typical generalization of groups or societies behaviors by creating irrelevant storylines is something a guy like michael bay resorts a lot. |

Exactly. It's also a staple of good storytelling in literature and really any and every medium.

Well if ya want your audience to know that Gotham is reacting to Batman being back by making the headlines then ya need to show it. Ya ain't getting any buzz from Gotham's people about it.

There is no right and wrong, it all depends on the context. The storytellers did not think it was warranted this time around, despite it being necessary in the other films. It's all subjective. What they did didn't work for you, but it certainly did for alot of people, so I think they're pretty happy with their decision.
