I remember there was a rumor back then that Tate is not Talia but... Earle's daughter.

Would have been all the more satisfying.
Though having Bane snap the neck of a master actor of villains could have been pushing the suspension of disbelief ![]() |

Earle was let go as CEO, that doesn't mean he wouldn't be able to buy stocks within Wayne Enterprise. So it wouldn't of been nonsensical as it wouldn't of been hard for him to become a CEO for a different company and go ahead with the same plan Daggett had. Excelsior is right in that Earle could have easily been weaved back in and believably so too. |

I think it was important to have a new force in there, just like bane is not Ra's, but an extension of the same type of person, but that certainly could have been interesting in itself. Alot of revenge would have been possible. Would be an interesting move to have Earle be the one who helps the LOS get a Wayne device after what happened in BB, haha.

So, I read that the desert pit in the TDKR is actually a reference to the Lazarus Pit. They drop people there dying or to die, and some of them climb back or as Alfred says in the movie - "Rise from the darkness".
If you already elaborated on this, sorry ![]() |

Earle couldn't have come back.
He's too busy living his life as a hobo with a shotgun.

[If addressed earlier, please kindly point me to the relevant Parts]
I've had this question in mind and awaited the BR release to see if there is an answer. I didn't see one so . . . How is Bruce Wayne's death -- not Batman's -- supposed to be explained publicly? There is a public reading of his will, his estate is broken up, but how is Bruce -- again not Bats -- supposed to have perished? The last time Bruce -- again not Bats -- is "seen" in the film is when he is "captured" in the tunnels. From there he dons the Batman persona and Bruce disappears from the remainder of the movie. Unlike how the ruse of Bruce Wayne's "disfigurement" and recluse existence is created at the outset of the film, I'm coming to the conclusion that Bruce's absence from the last 30 minutes of the film (except for the Florence scene) to be a major plot hole?

I know this will have been asked before but what motive was Batman supposed to have had for killing Dent? At the end of TDK he said he would take the blame for killing Dent's victims (which would make sense as they were people who helped Joker so he would have been angry at them). But Dent was praising Batman and helping him all throught TDK, so why did people believe Batman would want to kill Dent? Or was Dent supposed to have died stopping Batman from killing Gordon's family in revenge for him not checking his cops well enough.

Doesn't that pretty much explain it all? Bane killed Bruce, and Lucius miraculously managed to escape. Lucius could probably even come up with a good sob story about Bruce sacrificing himself so Lucius could live. ![]() ![]() ![]()

Rutger Hauer was a corporate executive. Not a guy who would be involved in coups in Africa , tying himself with the LOS to use the country resources. |

He ties himself to the LOS when he gives them a microwave emitter, though I suppose you could argue they simply paid him for it and he had no idea what they planned to do with it.

I don't remember it being made clear that Earle was in on the LoS acquiring the microwave emitter in BB.

Implies that Earle was in on it. Probably told the LOS which ship it would be on. |

He was also guilty of developing heavy weapons , something that was clearly against the idea of Wayne Enterprises before the death of Thomas. More , if you remember before the lucius scene there's a scene where someone goes to Earle and explains to him what happened , what was developed and what the weapon itself does. He also feels kinda agitated when speaking Lucius. I never even thought of him having any sort of connections with a group like LOS , and specially jeopardize the future of the company. Something he is very much interested. Dagget is a nasty pos . Someone who would involve himself with terrorists just to get more rich. I saw Earle as the typical corporate greedy man , and not that villainous. Last edited by Tequilla; 12-06-2012 at 09:54 AM. |

Mr. Earle was fired and no way could play the same role as Daggett. |

So Daggett should have been Earle, Blake should have been the kid from the Narrows. I guess Selina should have probably been Falafel guy instead. What better way to revisit class struggle?

Earle instead of Daggett would've been nice!

Can you imagine Earle getting Bruce kicked out of the board meeting like Daggett did, and getting to say the memo line again.

I didn't get to watch the movie until yesterday....so I haven't read much discussion about the movie (I like at least some surprises when I see a movie....I don't have the insatiable need to know every iota about one before watching it for the first time)....so, if this has been mentioned too much, just ignore it....
Did any one have problems with how hale and healthy 3,000 policemen looked after being crammed into a sewer for 5 months?

Why wouldn't they be? We see them being given food and other essentials during Bane's monologue after breaking into Blackgate.
